ARIA Singles top ten/ Chart Review: Monday 20th January. Tones and I's run at number one may soon be over

Last week I said there was a whiff of change in the air and honestly, this week's chart only confirms that change is in the air. "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I held on to number one for a twenty fourth week but with its sales and streaming slipping hard, it will only keep the number one for a twenty fifth week on the smell of a oily rag.

The most likely scenario is that The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" takes number one as it is strong on both sales and streaming right now and doing markedly better than those around him.

What is also vulnerable is Dua Lipa's "Don't Start now" which dropped to number three as it bled on sales and streaming this week so it's not really a shot at getting number one.

What I didn't expect was the horrific four place rise of "Yummy" by Justin Bieber but I expect this o fall off hard next week as sales have collapsed and its fallen on streaming. Good.

"Circles" by Post Malone continues to stick around remaining at number five this week due to the weakness of "Roxanne" by  Arizona Zervas which fell two places to number six.

We have a new arrival to the top ten that being the current US number one "The Box" by Roddy Ricch which rose eleven places to number seven, it's got good streaming but that's all its got right now as sales aren't matching the streaming right now much like "Roxanne" in the later half of last year.

"Memories" by Maroon 5 seems to be fading away as it dropped two places to number eight while "RIde It" by Regard slipped two places to number nine...we might see some new blood in the top ten next week.

Finally Lizzo returns to the top ten with "Good as Hell" up one place to number ten


Gains
Brockhampton's rise continues with "Sugar" up from from 37 to 21. This song pretty damn good so am glad to see it rising.

"Lose You to Love" by Selena Gomez is up six to 20 because her album "Rare" was released last week.

Strangely enough "Purple Hat" by Sofi Tukker rose eight places to 36. Why?


Losers

Halsey's "Graveyard" dropped 12 places to 50 and was the biggest loser for the week but this song will likely rebound and there's more Halsey to talk about in the new arrivals.

"Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee wilted seven places to 40 while "10,000 Hours" by Dan and Shay feat. Justin Bieber plunged six to 30.

Drop outs

So "Heartless" by The Weeknd made its exit this week as people look upon "Blinding Lights" as the superior song.

"Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid is taking with it "Up All Night" by Khalid, 'Yellow Hearts" by Ant Saunders and finally, "How Do You Sleep" by Sam Smith.

New Entries

So the new entries aren't all that good this week with the biggest debut coming from Future and Drake at 15 with "Life is Good" (I expect this to plunge next week)

The one new song from Selena Gomez and that album is the underwhelming title track "Rare" arrives at 23.

Halsey's new single "You Should Be Sad" is probably the best of the new entries at 41 and will get a boost next off the back of the release of the album "Manic".

Mac Miller's "Good News" in at 43, again a boost off the release of :the posthumous album "Circles" next week.

Finally, No Money Enterprise, a rap group based in Queensland, have hit the ARIA chart with "German" at 44.

That wraps the week and it remains to be seen whether or not we do get a new number one, we could get a pretty unfortunate album bomb from Eminem though so we'll see at 5pm AEDT on Saturday
