ARIA Singles top ten/Chart review: 16th September. Post Malone's Bleeding Album Bomb

Well no sooner did Taylor Swift's album bomb come and go than we got another one this time from Post Malone's third album "Hollywood's Bleeding", we got NINE new songs from Post Malone on the chart plus one or two other assorted entries

However he didn't quite get close enough to bother "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I which stays at number one for a seventh week and honestly I don't see what going to to knock it off any time soon as it's margins on streaming and digital sales are ridiculous.

The release of "Hollywood's Bleeding" was enough to push "Circles" by Post Malone up three places to number two and could be chance of number one if  "Dance Monkey" starts to slip.

This pushed "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello back to number three, it's time is pretty much done, its bleeding on sales and on streaming right now.

The surprise was that "Beautiful People" by Ed Sheeran and Khalid held strong at number four this week especially as "Goodbyes" by Post Malone and Young Thug surged back into the top ten up six places to number five.

All of this was enough to send "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X down three places to number six, it's really not got the streaming or sales to hold it up anymore so I expect this will start to make its graceful exit from the charts as the likely year end number one.

Post Malone's album bomb didn't unseat the bad songs though with the awful "One Thing Right" by Marshmello and Kane Brown remaining glued to the number seven place.

However it did unseat Blanco Brown's "The Git Up" which fell back to number eight which is kind of annoying as I actually really do enjoy this song, it's a bit of fun.

"Ran$om" by Lil Tecca continues its unpleasant and unwanted presence by remaining at number nine.

Finally also back in the top ten is "Piece of Your Heart" by Meduza and Goodboys" which climbed two places to number ten.

Gains

Spot the gains this week, people. The Post Malone album bomnb took a clean hit on the chart this week which meant not too many risers but Post Malone's "Sunflower" feat. Swae Lee jumped from 29 to 14.

Re-Entries

Two retuns this week with "Wow" by Post Malone back number 34 due to the album bomb and "Panini" by Lil Nas X at number 41 because it's Lil Nas X's new single.

Losers

Biggest loser this week was thankfully Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" which tumbled from 19 to 31.

However most of the big losers are older songs like "Johnny Run Away" by Tones and I which dropped 11 places to 37 or Drake and Rick Ross's "Money in the Grave" which fell ten places to 43.

There was also a ten place drop for "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper to 44 and an 11 place tumble for Illy's "Then What" to 47 (am surprised that this has been on the chart for even this long) "South of the Border" by Ed Sheeran feat. Camila Cabello and Cardi B continued it's strange chart run by dropping 11 places to 50. 

Finally "Higher Love" by Kygo and Whitney Houston dropped to 38.


Drop outs

Some of these drop outs won't be back like Taylor Swift album tracks "The Man" and "Cruel Summer", her lead single "Me!" with Brendon Urie is also gone. 

We also lost former top ten hits and will make the year end list like "Cross Me" by Ed Sheeran feat. Chance the Rapper and PNB Rock, "If I Can't have You" by Shawn Mendes and "Never Really Over" by Katy Perry

Bad songers also left including "Easier" by 5 Seconds of Summer and "Rescue Me" by OneRepublic.

The others are songs that re-entered, debuted or are forgettable so "Takeaway" by The Chainsmokers feat. Illennium and Lennon Stella, "Only Human" by Jonas Brothers, "Time" by NF, "I.F.L.Y" by Bazzil (I have lost hope of this becoming a ht) 


New Entries

So let's get through the nine Post Malone songs that entered this week with the albumb title track "Hollywood's Bleeding" earning the biggest debut of the week at number 17. "Saint-tropez" at number 19 (they gave that song a video for some bizarre reason), "Die For Me" feat. Future and Halsey at number 23, "Enemies" feat. DaBaby is in at number 28, "Take What You Want" with Ozzy Osbourne, of all people, and Travis Scott at number 30, "On the Road" feat. Meek Mill and Lil Baby at number 35, "A Thousand Bad Times" at number 39, "Allergic" at 45 and "Staring at the Sun" feat. SZA at number 48,

Finally, there was sone new entry not from Post Malone and it came from Camila Cabello who released two songs with "Liar", being the better of the two songs, entering at number 42.

That wraps a rather wild week, the chart updates on Saturday at 5pm AEST
