ARIA singles chart top ten/Chart Review: June 9th. Katy Perry nabs a top ten debut

Let's call it now, hey? "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X will be the number one biggest hit of the year not just in Australia but around the world, it's spending its 11th week at number one in the US and in Australia, it's spending its seventh week at number one on the back of huge digital sales figures even though streaming has fallen away.

"I Don't Care" by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber remains at number two despite streaming gains and sales that are still strong...just not strong enough to take it past "Old Town Road" but strong enough to keep "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish at number three where streaming is still good but sales are starting to fall.

Kind of wish everything was starting to fall away for "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi which remains at number four with good sales and streaming but needs a significant lift to rise past the three songs ahead of it.

Into the top five this week is the second of the Ed Sheeran songs, "Cross Me" feat. Chance The Rapper and PNB Rock. A song that is pretty mediocre if I am to be honest but it's here because its sales and streams were at least good enough to knock "If I Can't Have you" by Shawn Mendes back to number six.

At number seven, we have a new entry to the chart from Katy Perry with "Never Really Over" and considering this might be her best song since "Teenage Dream", it's not a surprise she debuted this high even with the fact that yes her influence has waneed a little in recent years not helped by the "Witness" era.

Slipping one place down to number eight is "3 Nights" by Dominic Fike and back to number nine from eight is "SOS" by Avicii feat. Aloe Blacc.

Finally returning to the top ten is "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee upr ten one place to number ten.

Gains
The 
Biggest gain of the week belongs to Tones and I's "Johnny Run Away" which went from 22 to 16 which is great news because it's a pretty damn good song.

What isn't so good is the four place boost for the "The London" By Young Thug feat. J Cole and Travis Scott to 13. Seriously?

Losers

The biggest loser of the week was the tantruming DJ Khaled song "Just Us" feat. SZA which fell from 33 to number 50. DJ Khaled was pissed this week that his album "Father of Asahd" didn't debut at number one on the US Billboard 200, it was held off number one by "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" by Billie Eilish. All I'll say is when the album features some really lazy sampling, guests not really adding much to songs and no single release pre the album after "No Brainer" left the chart, you kind of got what you asked for, Khaled.

The only other song to lose big was "Homicide" by Logic and Eminem which stumbled from 29 to 38.


Drop Outs

The biggest drop out of the week belongs to Billie Eilish with :"Wish You Were Gay" gone. Also out are "Paradise" by Bazzi, "Carry On" by Kygo and Rita Ora and continuing a bad week for Logic, "Isis" by Lucas Joyner and Logic exited.

New Entries

Katy Perry snagged the biggest debut of the week inside the top ten at number seven with "Never Really Over" as mentioned earlier.

At 25, is "Mother's Daughter" by Miley Cyrus, a song from her widely panned "She is Coming" EP.

Aussie youngster Ruel is at number 40 with "Painkiller". A good song that deserves to be a it if I am going to be hpnest.

Finally the worst of the new entries from YG with "Go Loko" feat. Tyga and Jon Z.

Next week probably Jonas Brothers with a small album bomb and that new song from Chris Brown and Drake...joy...ARIA charts update on Saturday at 5pm AEST.
