'Circles' by Post Malone remains at number two because it's not bridging the gap on streaming to "Dance Monkey" and there's a sizeable gap on sales between the two songs.
We get to the first of the two new entries in the top ten at number three that being the new US number one "Highest in the Room" by Travis Scott, this isn't Travis Scott's best work by far but hey in a week like this I'll take it.
Especially when you glance at what is at number four, the second of the new entries this week, the so saccharine its actually nauseating "10,000 Hours" by American country duo Dan and Shay feat. Justin Bieber, it's Dan and Shay's first song to reach the ARIA charts but let's face it, it only charted so high because Justin Bieber is on the track.
The only good thing is that it pushed "One Thing Right" by Marshmello feat. Kane Brown back to number five, the soon this song is gone the better, the new arrivals also caused "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello to drop three places to number six although that might have happened anyway.
Maroon 5 have yet another top ten hit with "Memories" rising five places to number seven. As if we needed anymore boring turgid sludge in the top ten especially with "10,000 Hours" in it.
"The Git Up" by Blanco Brown dropped three places to number eight as did "Beautiful People" by Ed Sheeran and Khalid to number nine.
Finally "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X looks to be on it's way out of the top ten dropping three places to number ten.
Gains
The biggest gain this week belonged to "Ride It' by Regard which jumped from twenty eight to eleven this week, will likely rise to the top ten next week whch is cool as I actually don't mind that song.
What I do mind though is "Hot Girl Bummer' by Blackbear rising from thirty three to seventeen. Seriously, what the hell, Australia? We can't even make the song that this rips off a hit yet we make the rip off which is a misogynist piece of crap a hit. Ugh.
"Graveyard" by Halsey may not be good but I'll take it over Blackbear as it went up six places to thirty one.
Losers
Thankfully the biggest loser is also the turd that is "Ran$om" by Lil Tecca which feel from eighteen to thirty four.
Another big loser was "Goodbyes" by Post Malone featuring Young Thug which dropped from thirteen to twenty eight...yikes.
Unfortunately though "Lover" by Taylor Swift dropped nine places to thirty nine and "Choir" by Guy ebastian dropped ten places to thirty seven.
"Don't Call Me Angel" by Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey slumped nine places to thirrty...I am amazed they remembered to place this song on the chart with how forgettable it is.
Drop Outs
The drop outs are sadly all good songs with 2018 hit and re-entry last week "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer gone (probably clinched a place on this year's year end list though)
Clinching year end spots are "Wow" by Post Malone and "Money in the Grave" by Drake and Rick Ross. In the former's case, I like it but given "Circles" is better while in the latter's, it's decent.
Sadly "Little Things" by Jessica Mauboy also dropped off, it would be surprising if that somehow made the year end list.
New Entries
So we have four new entries this week, two I have already mentioned that being 'Highest In the Room" by Travis Scott at number three and "10,000 Hours" by Dan and Shay feat Justin Bieber at number four.
The other two new entries are much lower down the chart with the first of them being "Writing on the Wall" by French Montana feat. Post Malone and Cardi B...a song that effectively wastes both Post Malone and Cardi B.
Finally the last of the new entries comes from Diplo who has teamed up with the Jonas Brothers for "Lonely" which debuts at forty eight...a bad attempted country song. Seriously Diplo, if you are going to make a country album, actually get country artists onto these songs.
Anyway hopefully we get a better week next week, the chart updates at 5pm AEDT on Saturday.
