So this week was a more normal week, we got a small album bomb from Khalid and with BTS likely to have one to maybe two songs arrive on the chart on Saturday and one of the worst charity songs I have ever heard next week, I am kind of grateful or what was a pretty quiet week.
Billie Eilish has a second week at number one with "Bad Guy" and it looks like it will get a third week at the top with its pretty impressive streaming numbers.
That said the US number one "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X is also doing some pretty impressive numbers and could challenge if time was right but with the loaded release schedule ahead, it's going to need to have a big week next week to take number one before Taylor Swift blows everyone aside the week after but regardless "Old Town Road" jumped from 18 to number 2.
The Jonas Brothers drop back to number 3 with "Sucker" as a result and really my opinion on this song is cooling a bit. It reminds me of a much better song "Feel It Still" by Portugal the Man and every time I hear "Sucker", I feel like I could do much better but anyway.
Post Malone stays steady at number four with "Wow"
The arrival of Khalid's tepid second album "Free Spirit" meant that "Talk" with Disclosure rocketed from 11 to number five (I expect this song to fall away).
"3 Nights" by Dominic Fike has also experienced a recovery following the album bomb surging up three places to number six.
"Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee drops 1 place to number 7 while "Bury a Friend" by Billie Eilish drops 5 to 8 and "Wish You Were Gay" by Billie Eilish suffers a four place plunge to number 9. Not surprising the two Billie Eilish songs fell while the album bomb receded.
What was surprising is that Australia has decided to give CHVRCHES their first ever top ten hit and I can't say I am thrilled its "Here With Me" with Marshmello, CHVRCHES have much better songs than this one, Australia but "Here With Me" jumped 11 places to reach number 10.
Gains
Khalid's album mean "Better" was the biggest gainer of the week jumping from 40 to 17 while "My Bad" is up to 14 from 30.
The UK number one "Someone You Loved" has smashed into the top 20 up to 19 from 26 as it looks to make the same impact in Australia.
Another UK hit smashing the chart is "Don't Call Me Up" by Mabel which jumped 10 places to 28 as she announced her debut album this week.
In good news for Aussie artists Hilltop Hoods "Exit Sign" with Ecca Vandal and Illy is up to 34 from 43 and looks like continuing to go up given strong streaming.
Re-Entries
Khalid dominates the re entries, he has the best return with "Saturday Nights" at 41 while "Lovely" with Billie Eilish is back at 45.
"Swervin'" by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie feat. 6ix9ine is also back at 44 but I cannot imagine why anyone even wants that song back.
Losers
Billie Eilish really does dominate the losers this week with the biggest being "Xanny" falling out of the top ten to 38, "My Strange Addiction" to 33, "You Should See Me in a Crown" to 36, "All Good Girls Go to Hell" to 25 from 8 and "When The Party's Over" from 7 down to 11. Ouch.
"Giant" by Calvin Harris feat. Rag 'n' Bone slipped surprisngly badly down ten to 47 would have thought with the over play it might stick around a lot longer than this.
Drop Outs.
\Six drop outs this week with four of them being from Billie Eilish wih "I Love You", "Iomilo", "Listen Before I Go" and "8" gone.
The other two are big ones with the biggest being former number one "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande.while former top ten hit "Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando is gone
New Entries
Three new entries this week with the biggest coming from K-Pop girl group Blackpink and their new single "Kill This Love" which has debuted inside the top 20 at number 18 something not even BTS have done with any song in Australia so that's kind of interesting. The best charting BTS song (Until next week) is "Idol" at number 35. I'd be surprised if "Kill this Love" stuck around.
Khalid got his song "Outta My Head" with John Mayer to debut at number 20 while Ariana Grande's new song "Monopoly" with Victoria Monet finally debuts at 21. (Starting to think Ariana burn out might be a thing, I think some people are sick of her)
So that wraps up the week, we'll find out how BTS got on when the chart is released by ARIA at 5pm on Saturday
