ARIA Singles Chart top ten/ Chart Review 30th September: Top Ten switches obscure quiet week

So this week pretty much panned out the way I thought it would with the top ten really just switching places among themslves that said it's not the case at the very top where Tones and I spends a ninth week equalling the Australian record for the most weeks at number one by an Australian artist, Tones oins Justice Crew who spent nine weeks at number one in 2014 with "Que Sera", here's the thing though, Tones and I will likely break the record next week with nothing really challenging it in terms of what's below "Dance and Monkey" or arriving new to the charts.

"Circles" by Post Malone remains a solid number two for another week thanks to good streaming and the weakness of "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello which remains at number three but is losing ground on digital sales and streaming which means it's unfortunately vulnerable to "One Thing Right" by Marshmello and Kane Brown which rose two places to number four because we need trash in this vein doing well on the charts (Seriously if you want country music, The Highwomen album is waiting for a song to get the right kind of push!)

Blanco Brown's "The Git Up" rose two places to number five this week after a good week on streaming. It went past "Beautiful People" by Ed Sheeran and Khalid which dropped one place to number six.

A boost on digital sales saw "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X regain some ground to number seven while Meduza's "Piece of Your Heart" featuring Goodboys also regained ground up two places to number eight.

Unfortunately "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi refuses to go away by being stuck at number nine
Rounding up the top ten is the biggest fall within the top ten that being for "Don't Call Me Angel" by Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Ray which plunged six places to number ten. Seriously gien how unmemorable that song is, it's not a surprise.

Gains

The biggest gain of the week is for Ed Sheeran's "South of the Border" featuring Camila Cabello and Cardi B which rose 12 places to 36, this song has had one of the strangest chart runs I can recall. 

:Lizzo's "Good As Hell" continues it's pretty impressive rise from 31 to 23 this week. Unfortunately also having a good gain is "Only Human" by the Jonas Brothers...seriously? This song BLOWS, I want it gone sooner rather than later.

Speaking of bad songs rising "Hot Girl Bummer" by Blackbear rose nine places to 38. Gross.

Losers

The big losers were for Post Malone album tracks with the biggest being for "Hollywood's Bleeding" to 45, "Enemies" feat. DaBaby to 47, "Wow" dropping to 50, "Saint-Tropez" to 28.  

Also suffering a fall was "Boyfriend" by Ariana Grande feat. Social House from 28 to 35.

Drop Outs

Both the drop outs also come from Post Malone with "On the Road" feat. Meek Mill and Lil Baby ad "Die For Me" feat. Future and Halsey both gone. 

New Entries

Only two new entries with Maron 5 landing the biggest new entry of the week with "Memories " at number 32...an absoluter snoozer of a song unfortunately.

Finally the more interesting of the new enterestings comes from a Kosovo D called Regard who got hold of Jay Sean's 2008 hit "Ride It" and remixed the song courtesy of Tik Tok. The song isn't bad either!.

So that wraps up a pretty quiet week all things considered. Chart updates on Saturday at 5pm as usual.
