So this week was surprising, I was preparing for a massive album bomb courtesy of The Weeknd's number one album "After Hours" but much to my shock...that didn't happen, oh sure there was still some impact on the chart which we'll get too however let's get to the top ten where "Blinding Lights" maintains the number one spot for a tenth week however I will say that there are signs that streaming slowing down which makes life interesting with "Roses (Imanbeck Remix) by Saint JHN up five places to number two.
"Roses" would be my best bet for number one unless Drake's new single called "Toosie Slide" being released on Friday AEDT makes a run especially if it gets virality on TikTok...joy...
It pushed "Intentions" by Justin Bieber and Quavo back to number three as streaming seems to finally be sick of this song the sooner it leaves the better.
"Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa down to number four but I expect this will regain some momentum following the release of "Future Nostalgia".a week earlier than planned.
Doja Cat's "Say So" also slipped down one to number five and honestly, it's probably in a good position to take advantage of any songs weakening above as it is still credible on both sales and streaming.
Maintaining it's presence at number six is "The Box" by Roddy Ricch, again, sales are absent and streaming is dying in slow motion so this will be gone from the top ten soon.
Arriving in the top ten this week is "Death Bed" by Powfu feat. Beabadabee which went up six places off the back of streaming.
A victim of the frantic shuffling this week was "You Should Be Sad" by Halsey which went down three places to number eight as streaming and sales are being blunted for it.
"Supalonely' by BENEE feat. Gus Dapperton goes up one place to number nine this week as it had a good sales and streaming week.
Finally former chart topper "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I slipped two places to number ten as it makes a slow graceful exit befitting a record breaking hit song.
Gains
This week was the week of The Weeknd as the title track from "After Hours" was the biggest gainer this week as it went from 48 to 17.
"Sunday Best" by Surfaces looks set to make an entrance to the top ten as it rose four places to number 12.
"Pump It Up" by Endor rose eleven places to 26 this week. I will give that song something, it is quite catchy!,
"Live in Life" by The Rubens continues to do well as it rose from 31 to 27 this week.
Also gaining big was "Maniac" by Conan Gray up ten to 28 although I suspect some of that gain was because of the release of his album called "Kid Krow"
Re-Entries
The sad death of American country music legend Kenny Rogers saw "The Gambler" back on the charts at number 31. It originally appeared on the Kent Music Report charts in 1978 peaking at 25.
The Weeknd is back at 38 with "Heartless"
Losers
The biggest loser this week is Tame Impala's "The Less I Know the Better" which tumbled from 17 to 34 this week as hype from the Hottest 100 of the decade dies down.
Suffering a ten place fall is Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy which fell to 35 this week.
Unforunately "Sugar" went sour for BROCKHAMPTON as their first charting song went down a sticky eleven places to 41 although it's a miacle that this song charted at all.
In more bad news "To Die For" by Sam Smith dropped eight places to 23 as they rescheduled the album release due to COVID-19 and finding another name for the album
In better news "Tummy" by Justin Bieber got indigestion and slipped six places to 49 as a result
Drop Outs.
The only drop out of any real note is "My Oh My" by Camila Cabello feat. DaBaby...good.
The other four that fell off the chart were "The Difference" by Flume feat. Toro y Moi, "Moral of the Story" by Ashe and "Suicidal" by YNW Melly.
New Entries
Two new entries this week with the highest debut of the week belonging to The Weeknd with "In Your Eyes" in at 13 while the latest streaming fad "Skechers" by DripReport in at 47.
So that wraps up a surprisingly short week on the chart with there being no album bomb from The Weeknd. Next week should be Dua Lipa's week, might see a song from 5 Seconds of Summer and the new one for Little Mix but we'll see whats when the chart is announced on Saturday at 5pm AEDT.
