Honestly, there's so much of me glad that the ARIA singles chart isn't like the US charts where there's an album bomb nearly every single week over there but the last two weeks in Australia where there's been a very real threat of an album bomb but it never materialised which was the case for BTS "Map of the Soul: 7" as it only lodged one new song on the chart but anyway we'll get to the new entries, let's firstly deal with the top ten where The Weeknd spends a sixth week at number one with "Blinding Lights", its still dominant on both sales and streaming and will lodge a seventh week on top when ARIA reveals the updated chart on Saturday.
Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" remains "Blinding Lights" closest challenger at number two for another weeks, it just cannot match the sales of and streaming momentum of "Blinding Lights"
Unfortunately "Intentions" by Justin Bieber and Quavo remains at number three...seriously this song sucks and does not belong anywhere near the top ten let alone at number three...ugh...regardless it somehow had good sales and streaming numbers to remain where it is.
"Dance Monkey" by Tones and I recovered one place to number four, this song is on it's way out slowly but surely, really only recovered for a reason we'll get to in a moment. Could say the same about "The Box" by Roddy Ricch which returned to number five this week, this song is doing well on streaming but sales have never caught on.
Halsey's "You Should Be Sad" also went up one to number six which is actually good news because I like that song, in not so good news "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi rose two places to number 7.
"Circles" by Post Malone continues its run in the top ten as it went up two places to number eight and in excellent news "Adore You" by Harry Styles rose three places to return to the top ten at number nine, this song has been growing on me A LOT.
The reason mostly everything either went up or remained where it was in the top ten this week was the expected collapse of "No Time to Die" by Billie Eilish which fell six places to number ten.
Gains
In not so good news in the gains department, Doja Cat's "Say So" went up 7 places to 21 because people for some reason are impressed by an underweight beat and groove. Ew/
"Sunday Best" rose six places to 30 for Surfaces but that was about it for the gains this week.
Re-Entries
Just one re-entry with "Turn Me On" by Riton feat. Oliver Heldens and Vula back at number 47.
Losers
The biggest loser this week was the only Justin Bieber album cut to lodge on the chart "Forever" feat. Post Malone and Clever which dropped from 29 to 40.
Speaking of Post Malone, his 2018/19 smash "Sunflower" feat. Swae Lee dropped from 43 to 49 while "Rare" by Selena Gomez plunged from 38 to 46.
"Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish hits 22 from 16 last week and "Yummy" by Justin Bieber fell from 8 to 14.
Drop Outs
Some massive drop outs this week with "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Cabella Cabello, "One Thing Right" by Marshmello and Kane Brown, "10,000 Hours" by Dan and Shay feat. Justin Bieber (not a good week overall for Bieber) and "South of the Border" by Ed Sheeran feat. Camila Cabello and Cardi B all gone, they took OneFour's "Welcome to Prison" with them.
New Entries
Four new entries this week with the album title track from The Weeknd called "After Hours" landing the highest debut of the week at number 11. I don't expect this to stick around.
Likewise "On" by BTS in at number 29.
What might stick around is "Blueberry Faygo" by Lil Mosey at number 42 and "Pump It Up" by Endor at number 43.
So that wraps up the chart this week. Next week, Lady Gaga's new single, that new SZA and Justin Timberlake/SZA song from the new Trolls movie and maybe that new Keith Urban song, we'll have to see when the chart updates at 5pm AEDT on Saturday.
