However it's facing a stiff challenge from the highest new entry this week that being "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, this is their second collaboration after their 2015 song "I Know What You Did Last Summer" which reached 33 in Australia, "Senorita" is a much more potent track than that song though and it looks to be a player for number one given its strong streaming, get radio traction and digital sales on the move and yeah, things could get interesting.
It's arrival pushed "I Don't Cate" by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber back to number three, a song I still don't like at all as Ed Sheeran is capable of so much better and Justin Bieber is still Justin Bieber but its still here because streaming still loves this song.
"Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish remains at number four while Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" slipped two places to number five, I really don't expect "You Need to Calm Down" to stick around in the top ten for much longer though.
"Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi drops one place to number six, I kind of wish it'd leave the top ten now. Bit tired of it.
We have our second interuption to the top ten at number seven with "Money in the Grave" by Drake feat. Rick Ross which climbed seven places to stake a claim on this slot and yeah I still like this song so hope it hangs around.
It pushed "Cross Me" by Ed Sheeran feat. Chance the Rapper and PNB Rock back two places to number eight. I expect this and "I Don't Care" will get a boost when the album drops in a few weeks.
A third interuption to the top ten is Meduza's hit "Piece of Your Heart" feat. Goodboys which climbed two places to number 9. Actually surprised it's taken this long to reach the top ten given it remindds me of "Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando.
Finally, Katy Perry is clinging to her place in the top ten at number ten with "Never Really Over".
Gains
So the biggest gain of the week went to Blanco Brown's "The Git Up" which went from 46 to 27 this week! I really do love this song somehow so I don't mind the big climb.
I also don't mind the big gains for "Choir" by Guy Sebastian climbed 13 places to break into the top twenty at number 20. It's a good song but where the hell was this kind of support for "Before I Go", huh, Australia, huh?
Tones and I jump up six places with "Dance Monkey" to 31.
Re-Entry
So somehow "Lovely" by Khalid and Billie Eilish is back at number 45. It's a good song but come on....it's spent nearly a year in the top 50.
Losses.
We had some hefty losers this week but none bigger than :"Me!" by Taylor Swift feat. Brendon Urie which utterly collapsed from 22 to 37.
"Mother's Daughter" by Miley Cyrus tumbled ten places to 35 as Cyrus EP continues to have very little impact whatsoever.
"Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper went from 28 to 34.
Drop outs
So we lost two big ones this week and they are two songs I really do like a lot but will both make the year end list. "Better" by Khalid and "Dancing with a Stranger" by Khalid.
Halsey's non starter single "Nightmare" is also gone (good riddance) as is last week's debut Sanctury" by Joji.
New Entries
So there were two other new arrivals this week alongside "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello which entered at number 2.
We go all the way to 17 to find Lil Nas X's "Panini" at number 17. The only other new Lil Nas X song to debut off the release of the EP on the wider ARIA Top 100 was "Rodeo" feat Cardi B at 72.
Finally at number 24 is Canadian singer Ali Gatie landing his first ARIA singles entry with "It's You".
So that wraps up the week, its going to get interesting as I get the feeling "Old Town Road" is starting to weaken a little but we'll see.
