ARIA Single top ten/ Chart review: 22nd July. It's the Ed Sheeran show.

We got ourselves an album bomb because almost every single song from Ed Sheeran's "Collaborations no.6" project entered the top 50 so that meant it was a pretty wild week for the rest of the chart...well all that wild if you look at the top two in our top ten because for yet another week "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X remains at number one and at this point it's continuing to frail as it edges closer to Ed Sheeran's record  because it really has been only digital sales and the frequent remix releases keeping it at the top, it still manages keep streaming darling "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello at number two, it's got streaming but its digital sales have been its let down in terms of getting that number one.

A remix with Justin Bieber saw "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish recapture lost ground and move up three places to number three.

"Beautiful People' by Ed Sheeran feat. Khalid stayed at number four while most surprisingly "I Don't Care" by Ed Sheeran feat. Justin Bieber dropped two places to number 5. Would havr thought the release of the album would have helped keep this song at number three but nope.

Post Malone's "Goodbyes" feat. Young Thug drops one place to number six. I expect this song to stick around though as Post Malone songs have the habit of doing.

Ed Sheeran's fourth song in the top ten "Cross Me" feat. Chance the Rapper and PNB Rock regained ground as it jumped seven places to  number seven.

Tones and I's "Dance Monkey" looks like being a huge hit as it jumped two places to number eight. I expect this song to continue it's upward momentum this week.

"Choir" by Guy Sebastian drops two places to number 9 while "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi drops two places to number ten. In the latter's case, that's a good thing...want it gone.

Gains.

Not too many big gains this week given the Ed Sheeran album bomb which means that "Blow" by Ed Sheeran feat. Chris Stapleton and Bruno Mars jumped nine places to 31.

Unfortunately there was also a big gain for "Lalala" which jumped from 41 to 33....WHY?

Re Entry

Oddly enough the one re-entry is a 2015 Ed Sheeran collab with Rudimental called "Lay It All On Me" at number 48. It originally peaked at number 7 on the ARIA Singles chart in 2015.



Losers

So the album bomb also meant plenty took fails, these were significant for former top ten hits like "3 Nights" by Dominic Fike which dropped eleven places to 28, "Wow" by Post Malone down to 43 from 25 and "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper also dropping eleven places to 45.

"Mothers Daughter" by Miley Cyrus dropped from 29 to 36.

Drop Outs

I expect some of these to be back on the chart in one way or another as the album bomb recedes wih "Here With Me" by Marshmello and CHVRCHES gone as is (finally) "Happier" with Bastille...both will likely make year end list.

Unfortunately so are Aussie songs "Exit Sign" by Hilltop Hoods feat. Ecca Vandal and Illy and "Mess her Up" by Amy Shark.

Not all that cut up that "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer is also gone taking "Heaven" by Avicii with it.

New Entries

All the new entries are songs from Ed Sheeran's "No; 6 Collaborations" project with "Antisocial" with Travis Scott the highest debut at number 11, "South of the Border" feat. Camila Cabello and Cardi B at number 15, " Remember The Name" feat. Eminem and 50 Cent at number 15, "Take Me Back to London" with Stormzy at number 29 and finally "Way to Break my Heart" with Skrillex at number 50.

So that wraps up the week, expecting mew music Sam Smith and Tones and I to chart highly, I am not going to make a prediction on whether or not we get a new number one or not because I got it horribly wrong last week. The ARIA chart will update at 5pm AEST on Saturday.
