So all the Christmas songs left and what we have is kind of interesting plus with Justin Bieber's terrible new song showing up next week, this week kind of felt like it was back to normal and by back to normal, I mean "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I back at number one for a 22nd week.
Dua Lipa is back at number two with "Don't Start Now", I am not certain if it can go number one, needs sales and streaming to pick up but the fact that these two songs are stalling the momentum of "Roxanne" by Arizona Zervas is really a good thing because the only thing holding up "Roxanne" right now is streaming, it's really behind on sales right now.
J'd say it's vulnerable to "Memories" by Maroon 5 which returned to number four but that spent the week also bleeding on streaming even as its sales hold up well. "Circles" by Post Malone is also showing signs of weakness as well as it jumped back up to number five, it slipped on streaming and sales aren't there for it.
Same could be said of "Ride It" by Regard which climbed back to number six but again this song is n shaky footing and is vulnerable to "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd which looks as though it finally has some momentum behind it at number seven, this song is a monster on sales and is catching up on streaming, fully expect this to be top five at next chart update.
Tones and I's second song in the top ten 'Never Seen the Rain" climbed back to number eight on good sales because streaming is messy at this point.
Same could be said for "Good as Hell" by Lizzo which came back at number 9 and "Adore You" by Harry Styles which returned to number 10.
Gains
The biggest gain this week came from Travis Scott's "Highest in the Room" which climbed from 36 to 15 probably off the release of JACKBOYS album.
"Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X climbs 11 places to 16 and strangely "My Oh My" by Camila Cabello and DaBaby rose eleven places to 25.
"Castles" by Freya Ridings got a boost from 37 to 29 this week while "Post Malone" by Sam Feldt feat Rani jumped from 41 to 33 and 'Trampoline" jumped nine places to 35 for SHAED.
Re- entries
A couple of re-entries this week with the best of those being 'How Do You Sleep?" by Sam Smith at 47, "Yellow Hearts" by Ant Saunders at 48 and "Teeth" by 5 Seconds of Summer at 49.
Losses
Unsurprisingly the big loss came for Juice WRLD's 2018 hit "Lucid Dreams" as it plummeted 20 places to 22. "Own It" by Stormzy feat. Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy dropped six places to 46, The Weeknd also dropped six places to 36 with "Heartless" (although I think people have realized "Blinding Lights" is the better of the two new songs The Weeknd released).
The other real big loser was "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which fell eleven places to 23.
Drop Outs
All the Christmas music fell off the chart this week so apart from that we also unfortunately lost "Lover" by Taylor Swift.
It wasn't a good week for Harry Styles with his lead single 'Lights Up" along with album tracks "Falling" and "Golden" making their exits along with "Bandit" by Juice WRLD and Young Boy Never Broke Again.
New Entries
So we got five new songs on the chart this week with the biggest coming from New Zealand's Benee with "Glitter" at 34, this song seems to have a bit of traction on streaming so we'll see what happens especially if sales start to match it.
Riton finally hits the chart with "Turn Me On" feat. Oliver Heldens and Vula, a track that samples Yazoo's famous melody on 80s smash hit "Don't Go".
A song that was big in the UK last year has finally reached the Australian chart that being "Sorry" by Joel Corry at 40.
Don Toliver's "No Idea" is in at 43 and finally 'Purple Hat" by Sofi Tukker at 50
I like the look of the top ten at the moment, its not perfect (still two pretty awful songs in the top five), anyway expecting Justin Bieber to enter the chart along with a couple of bushfire relief appeal songs so we'll see what happens when the chart updates on Saturday at 5pm
