This week's chart seems like a massive come down after the Hottest 100 tore a swathe through it last week and so it meant a few things for our top ten which we will get too.
It meant nothing for our number one which remains 'Blinding Lights" by the Weeknd, this song is turning into a monster on streaming and on sales, it's HUGE right now, I don't see anything getting close to it right now and honestly I am fine with that because its one of The Weeknd's best songs.
Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" returned to number two for a fourth week but it's going to need to find some huge growth in sales and streaming from somewhere which may not happen given events which we'll talk about when we get to our new arrivals however it blew past the weakening 'Dance Monkey" by Tones and I which dropped one place to number three as it bleeds on sales and streaming.
Which would make it vulnerable to "The Box" by Roddy Ricch which rose two places to number four but while it's streaming is great, it's not doing much of anything on sales right now.
"Godzilla" by Eminem feat. Juice WRLD remains at number five this mostly because streaming is still decent for this song (honestly I'd like to see this gone from the top ten sooner rather than later).
Now despite my predictions last week of a hard collapse this week, "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish only fell three places to number six. Shows what a massive song it is been.
Post Malone continues his ridiculous longevity with "Circles" remaining at number seven. This song has done ridiculously well to remain in the top ten for this long.
Now we've come across the biggest gain for the week which is one of the better songs from Halsey's recent album "You Should Be Sad" which jumped from 15 to 8. I'll take that!.
What I am not so thrilled about is Lewis Capaldi getting a second hit with the very mediocre to terrible "Before You Go" jumping from 14 to 9. WHY?
Billie Eilish is releasing her James Bond theme called "No Time to Die" tomorrow at 11am AEDT but her current single "Everything I wanted" is up one place to number 10.
Gains
So outside of Halsey's "You Should Be Sad", what also gained big?. Not much really with "Adore You" by Harry Styles up four to 14 and Doja Cat's "Say So" (which is getting radio traction unfortunately) also up four to 43.
Re-Entry
Just one re-entry with "The Reaper" by The Chsindmokers feat. Amy Shark back at 49...(Let's out a sarcastic "yay")
Losers
The biggest loser of the week was unsurprisingly "Rushing Back" by Flime and Vera Blue which fell from 8 to 20 as interest dropped off following the Hottest 100.other than that it's pretty quiet with most songs that dropped only losing one or two places at most apart from "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which fell from 36 to 44 and "Piece of Your Heart" by Meduza and Goodboys falling seven to 47.
Drop Outs
Halsey's "Graveyard" finally hit the graveyard for past hits while SHAED fell off the "Trampoline" as that underwhelming song made its exit, those two songs took "Good News" by Mac Miller and "Charlie" by Mallrat with them.
New Entries
So I mentioned Dua Lipa earlier, well she's got the highest debut of the week with "Physical" in at 30, don't be surprised if this song takes attention, streams and sales away from "Don't Start Now"
Taylor Swift's Netflix documentary song "Only the Young" turns up at 31. I don't see this song sticking around.
Finally Aussie band The Rubens hit the ARIA top 50 with "Live in Life" at number 47
That wraps up the week, not sure what to expect next week, we might get one or two songs from "Australia Decides" and possibly a new Justin Bieber song (sigh) hitting the charts, we'll find out at 5pm AEDT on Saturday.
