So my intention is to breeze through this pretty quickly because honestly I do want to get back to work on my Best hit songs of 1996 list as this week really wasn't that interesting but I guess it's good enough before all the Christmas songs inevitably swamp the chart next week.
For a 21st week, it's "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I at number one, it's a bit of a dicey battle as to whether it will get a 22nd week at number one especially as Mariah's streaming numbers are strong.
"Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa holds on to number two. I really would like to see this song be the next number one song but its been swallowed up by Christmas music on streaming while sales are doing well, I doubt this is going to go number one.
The rest of the top six is pretty much the same with "Roxanne" by Arizona Zervas at number three, "Memories" by Maron 5 at number four (can we fuck this garbage off the charts NOW please), "Circles" by Post Malone at number 5 and "Ride It" by Regard at number six.
Riding the wave off the release of his album "Fine Line", Harry Styles single "Adore You" climbed 7 places to number seven, it pushed "Never Seen the Rain" by Tones and I back to number eight. I don't expect "Adore You" to stick around in the top ten tbh.
Breaking into the top ten is "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd rising five places to number nine. Excellent news because the song is fucking fantastic
Finally, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey has finally hit the top ten rising one place to number ten.
Gains
We have a lot of Harry Styles to talk about and he is the leading big gainer this week with "Watermelon Sugar" jumping twenty places to number 12.
"Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi rose nine places to break into the top 20 at number seventeen because of course we need more dull sappiness on the chart.
Then we have Wham's "Last Christmas" up seven to twenty three and "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Michael Buble rose six places to number thirty two.
Re-Entries
Just the one re-entry with Harry Styles "Lights Up" back at 34
Losers
Taylor Swift's "Lover" hit 50 (this song should still make year end list I hope) while "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X down to 27 from 18. Those were the only really significant losses this week.
Dropouts
Some significant ones here although they were all returns a few weeks ago with "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, "Wow" by Post Malone, "How Do you Sleep?" by Sam Smith and "Rans$om" by Lil Tecca gone. All will comfortably make year end chart.
They also took with them "Robbery" by Juice WRLD and "Up All Night" by Khalid,
New Entries
I wish Tik Tok would go the hell away because the highest debuting single belongs to Trevor Daniel's "Falling" at number 14...it's not a good song.
Harry Styles saw two album tracks hit the chart with "Falling" debuting at 35 and "Golden" at number 46
Forgettable at best, terrible at worst is the debut at number 36 which is "My Oh My" by Camila Cabello feat. Dababy..
A massive hit in the UK right now is "Owned it" by Stormzy feat. Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy, it's debuted on the ARIA singles chart at number 40.
Not sure I am going to cover next week's chart as it is likely to be swamped with Christmas music...joy....may just do the top ten and move on. Best hit songs of 1996 is coming soon. Don't forget the ARIA Chart updates at 5pm AEDT on Saturday.
