So uh...the top ten stalled this week, we have a really stagnant top ten that I am predicting will change given some of the new releases set to impact the chart but that's next week so let's begin at the very ttop where "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I spends a tenth week at number one which broke the record for the most weeks spent at number one by any Australian artist which is huge and yet again I don't see what is going to knock it off number one.
I'd say "Circles" by Post Malone at number two is a chance but it just couldn't bridge the gap to "Dance Monkey", although the same could be said for "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello at number three, "One Thing Right" by Marshmello and Kane Brown at nnumber four, "The Git Up" by Blanco Brown at number five, "Beautiful People" by Ed Sheeran and Khalid at number six, "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X (still good on digital sales right now) at number seven, "Piece of Your Heart" by Meduza and Goodboys at number eight and "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi at number nine.
The only change to the top ten this week came at number ten with "How Do You Sleep?" by Sam Smith finally showing up in the top ten by climbing one place to number ten.
Gains
The biggest gainer this week is Maroon 5's bland but radio friendly song "Memories" which jumped 20 places to number 12 this week.
Lizzo's "Good As Hell" jumped from 23 to 16 while "Choir" by Guy Sebastian rebounded from 21 to 17.
"South of the Border" by Ed Sheeran feat. Camila Cabello and Cardi B has finally found some consistent momentum by leaping 12 place to to 24.
"Ride It' by Regard is up to 28 off it's debut last week;
Finally because we apparently need fuckboy rap on the charts "Hot Girl Bummer" by Blackbear is up to 33. Gross.
Re-Entries
So we have one song return this week and bizarrely it's "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer which is just plain unexplainable...maybe because of the Masked Singer program?
Losers
Biggest loser this week is Post Malone's "Saint-tropez" which fell from 26 to 41 from 26 while Camila Cabello's "Liar" fell seven places to 40.
Halsey's "Graveyard" buries itself six down to 37 while "Lover" by Taylor Swift went down eight places to 30.
"Sunflower' by Post Malone and Swae Lee appears to finally be on its way out as it fell to 26 while "Slide Away" by Miley Cyrus lived up to it's name by falling from 17 to 25
However the most unsurprising loss of the week belongs to "Don't Call Me Angel" which fell from 10 to 21.
Drop outs
The drop outs this week are all Post Malone album tracks as the album bomb recedes, all three sticking around longer than I would have expected so gone are "Take What You Want" featng. Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott, "Enemies" feat. DaBaby and the album title track "Hollywood's Bleeding"
New Entries
Just the two new entries this week with the highest debut coming from Flume's "Rushing Back" feat. Vera Blue which debuted at number twenty this week. There's definitely hit potential in this song...just wish I liked it more.
Radio is in love with "Castles" by Freya Ridings which debuted at number 48 and much like "Rushing Back", I expect this to stick around even if she does sound a lot like Florence Welch.
That wraps up a quieter week than I expected but with at least two new entries to the top ten next week, things are about to get wild. The chart updates on Saturday at 5pm AEDT.
