Well I didn't see this coming, sure I saw signs of weakness in the number one but didn't think it would lose the number one this week and yet...well let's talk about that because our new number one is New Zealand group OMC with "How Bizarre" and yeah, this looks to have a little bit of staying power at the top but right behind it is "Missing' by Everything But the Girl which remains strong at number two.
What isn't so strong is the previous number one "One of Us" by Joan Osborne which dropped from number one back to number three as sales declined for "One of Us" with there being a big push for "How Bizarre"
Boyzone somehow have enough strength via their cover of Cat Stevens "Father and Son" climbed past "Spaceman" by Babylon to reach number four pushing "Spaceman" back to number 5"
Then we have a trio of one place gains with "California Love" by 2pac feat. Dr Dre at number 6, "Anything" by 3T at number 7 and "Power of A Woman" by Eternal at number 8.
Slipping back three places is "Get down on it by Peter Andre feat. Past to Present at number nine. Kind of surprised this is still in the top ten if I am being honest.
Then at number 10, we have Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" which climbed four places to reach the top ten which is good because "Ironic" is a good song.
Gains
So it was a bit of a quiet week but we did get a decent sized gain for The Presidents of the United States with "Peaches" breaking into the top 20 at number 13 up from 21 last week. "Don't Stop" by CDB broke into the top 30 up four to 28.
"I Want to Cokme over" by Melissa Etheridge is up 11 places to number 30 while "Bulls on Parade" by Rage against the Machine is up to 29 from 36.
Human Nature look to have had one of the biggest gains of the week with "Got It Goin' On" up to 33 from 47 last week while "These Days" by Bon Jovi rides up to 38 from 46.
Re-Entries
Two re-entries with "Lump" by Presidents of the United States returning at 47 and "I Wonder..." by Renegade Funktain back at number 50.
Losers
Unfortunately thr charts haven't been kind to "Imagination" by Deni Hinds which slipped from 38 to 49 and Tina Arena dropped 8 places to 48 with "That's the Way a Woman Feels" (bit of a shame for the latter as I really do like that song)
"It's Oh So Quiet" by Bjork stumbled quietly 14 places to 44 while the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Aeroplane" suffered turbulence in flight to stutter down to 43 from 35 last week.
Finally people are showing no "Real Love" for The Beatles song as "Real Love" slumped down to 35 from 27.
New Entries
Something of a rarity this year with only one new song and it's the new single for La Bouche called "Sweet Dreams (Ola Ola e) debuting at 41. Just another very meh dance track but will say it's better than their previous top ten hit.
That wraps up the week in Australia but lets head to the US and the UK to find out what happened on the chart scenes there with the top 5.
United Kingdom (Official Charts)
The UK have a new number one this week with Mark Morrison finally hitting the top of the charting with "Return of the Mack". Gina G's Eurovision song "Ooh Aah...Just a Little Bit" got a three place boost to number two while the previous number one "Firestarter" by The Prodigy dropped two number three.
Michael Jackson has the highest debut of the week with "They Don't Care About Us" at number four and Mark Snow dropped three places to number 5. Other big debuts in the UK this week came for Everything But the Girl's "Walking Wounded" at number 6 while The Presidents of the United States have a top ten hit in the UK with "Peaches" debuting at number 8.
United States (Billboard Hot 100
Speaking of the United States, let's check out what's happening on the Billboard Hot 100, it's a fourth week at number one for Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" ,
Really no change in the top three with "Always Be My Baby" at number two and "Nobody Knows" by Tony Rich at number three.
The only change comes with "Ironic" by Alanis Morisette up one place to number four while "Down Low (Nobody has to know)" by R.Kelly feat. Ronald Isley dropping one place to number 5.
That wraps up this week, we'll step back into 2019 with the Aria singles chart top ten/chart review of a pretty interesting old week following the Billie Eilish album bomb.
