First thngs first, lets not take this week too seriously because make no mistake, that Billie Eilish album bomb is going to detonate with some force next week and it's pretty much going to be interesting what survives and really beyond a two interesting new entries that are currently huge overseas
Let's deal with the top ten first off where "Sucker" by Jonas Brothers remains at number one for a third week, whether or not it gets a fourth week remans an open question with "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish now at the top of the charts on streaming servives, "Sucker" could well be on borrowed time at number one.
Then we go back to "Wow" by Post Malone which returned to number two, Post Malone is pretty much battling with himself because "Sunflower" with Swae Lee fell back to number three. I don't see "Sunflower' returning to number one.
Remaining at number four is Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" (which still sucks and still needs to be gone from the chart as soon as possible, Australia!) as it's streaming remained steady.
Somehow because Australia seems to think "3 Nights" by Dominic Fike is worth something, ots up three places to hit the top 5 at number 5.
"Dancing With a Stranger" by Sam Smith feat. Normani stays at number six.
"Talk" by Khalid and Disclosure goes up one place to number seven, I expect this song to climb with the release of Khalid's sophomore album on Friday.
"Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper slipped 3 places to number 8 as the Oscars hype falls away. Its amazing this song is still in the top ten quite honestly.
"Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" by Ariana Grande drops two places to number nine. Expect to see a song called "Monopoly" by Victoria Monet on the chart soon as Ariana has a co-sign on that song.
Finally Dean Lewis has his second top ten hit with "7 Minutes" up 7 places to number ten courtesy of the release of the album last Friday but like I said with Billie Eilish album bomb ahead, I don't expect any top ten longevity for this song.
Gains
The biggest gain this week belongs to Marshmello and CHVRCHES song "Here With Me" which went from 35 off it's debut last week to 22. (Seriously, this is going to be CHVRCHES first serious hit? Ugh).
Also up off it's debut last week is "Don't Call Me up" by Mabel which went to 34 from 38.
The album also meant former number one "Be Alright" by Dean Lewis went back into the top twenty at number 17.
"Giant" by Calvin Harris and Rag 'N' Bone Man is also into the top ten at number 19 up five places.
Re-Entries
Back again this week is "Lovely" by Billie Eilish and Khalid at number 48. I actually expect to see this song jump up again because of Billie's album.
Losers
Imagine Dragons have the biggest loser of the week with "Bad Liar" down 12 places to 38. Also suffering a bad fall is "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" by Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus which slipped from 29 to 36.
A song that I thought would be doing a bit better than it is is "Please Me" by Cardi B and Bruno Mars which dropped nine places to 39.
A bit of an inconsequential loss for "Wish You Were Gay" by Billie Eilish which fell from 15 to 21 but that will regain some lost ground and then some next week.
Drop Outs
So I am not exactly too upset about the drop outs this week, the biggest drop out is "Love Someone" by Lukas Graham wbich spent 24 weeks on the chart. Always found that song a tad twee and preachy.
Also gone are "Pure Water" by Mustard and Migos (Migos have really struggled to have anywhere near the traction in Australia as they do in the US), the "Mi Gente" rip off "I Can't Get enough" by Benny Blanco feat. Tainy, Selena Gomez and J. Balvin, "Close to Me" by Ellie Goulding feat. Diplo and Swae Lee (really don't care for that song) and "Saturday Nights" by Khalid (Likely to return soon because of the album)
New Entries
Four brand new entries this week and some of these have been HUGE in other parts of the world although the highest debut goes to Dean Lewi s with "Stay Awake" at number 26.
Ava Max has tried to follow up "Sweet But Psycho" with "So Am I" which has landed at number 29.
At number 46 is the current British nunmber one "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi (Yes, he is a distant cousin of former Doctor Who Peter Capaldi). Really, hope this song is a hit.
Finally a song that is big in the US due a controversy over whether it belongs on the Billboard country charts, it's "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X which is somehow become huge more due to the controversy rather than anything else.
So that completes the week and really, it's brace yourself for the Billie Eilish album bomb and really if it cleans the chart out than it's a good thing even if it means more than a little too much Billie Eilish to mention next week. ARIA releases the new chart at 5pm AEDT on Saturday
