Really not sure what to say about this week, there was plenty of movement across the chart but only the one new entry this weerk which we will get to because it comes in the top ten speaking of which let's start right at the top where for a twelfth week, it's "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I riding in at number one and only has to spend one more week at number one to equal the 13 weeks spent at number one by "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X and unless Adele or Drake drop their lead singles, I can see this song going seriously close to challenging Ed Sheeran's 15 weeks at number one in 2017 with "Shape of You" because there is nothing challenging it right now.
In fact, "Circles" by Post Malone rebounded back to number two but it's got some competition coming in the form of "Memories" by Maroon 5 which got a four place jump to number three, yeah, no, I have no idea why this bland nonsense is at number three...seriously. Australia?
"Memories" might be boring but at least it isn't nauseating which is where we find "10,000 Hours" by Dan and Shay feat. Justin Bieber spending another week at number four.
Travis Scott's "Highest In the Room" dropped back two places to number five this week which isn't surprising.
Regard has ridden up five places to enter the top ten with "Ride It' at number six, I think there's potential for this song to be a number one hit.
We get to our one new entry at number seven with Harry Styles and his new single "Lights Up", now I don't expect this song to remain in the top ten, generally songs by the guys from One Direction while they debut high, they usually fall off pretty hard which is not good news because despite a three place fall this week, there's opportunity for "One Thing Right" by Marshmello and Kane Brown at number eight to regain ground.
Same can't be said of "Senorita" by Shawn Mwndes and Camila Cabello as the streaming titan of a song starts to fall away gracefully, I expect this song will be in the top ten come year end list time.
Most regrettably, "Hot Girl Bummer" by Blackbear rounds out the top ten at number ten this week after a seven place gain...thanks to people streaming this misogynist garbage on Apple Music and Spotify. JUST DANDY.
Gains
The biggest gain this week belongs to United Kingdom songstress Freya Ridings with "Castles" up nine places to thirty six.
We've already talked about the seven place gain for Blackbear but speaking of utter rap regaining ground "Ran$om" by :Lil Tecca jumped from thirty four to twenty seven while "Graveyard" by Halsey jumped from thirty one to twenty six, I expect to see this get even higher given Halsey's ARIA Awards performance.
Oh and also gaining seven places to forty three is "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper which along with "Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Khalid and Halsey remain the only 2018 songs on the chart in OCTOBER 2019.
Losers
The biggest losing song this week was Tones and I's "Johnny Run Away" which fell ten places to fifty.
"Don't Call Me Angel' by Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey continued it's slow exit from the chart as it tumbled to thirty nine.
There was an eight place loss for "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X which dropped eight places to eighteen. Speaking of Lil Nas X, "Panini" fell to thirty two.
Drop Outs
So with just the one new entry, there's only the one drop out with that being "You Need to Calm Down" by Taylor Swift which will likely end up making the year end list.
New Entries
We only have the one new entry this week and I mentioned it earlier in the top ten with Harry Styles at number seven with "Lights Up"
Pretty short week this one, the top ten seems fairly turbulent apart from number one right now so will be interesting to see what unfolds, the chart updates on Saturday at 5pm AEDT
