ARIA Singles Top Ten/Chart Review: April 13th: Left foot up, right foot slide into number three for Drake

This week is going to be almost pointless to talk about mostly because there is going to be a new number one next week which we will talk about and really not a lot of changes this week were for the better but anyway "Roses" by Saint JHN held on to the number spot for a second week despite losing the lead on streaming but still being good on sales, it held on over The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" which is really not a player for number one now as it is starting bleed on sales and streaming.

However the highest new entry of the week sits at number three and is a big player for number one, "Toosie Slide" by Drake which didn't quite have the sales to go to number one but its got streaming on lock right now so sales may not matter, it's just a question of margins at this point as to whether "Toosie Slide" can go number one...I hope not because the song blows arse.

All this was enough to push "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa down to number four but that might have happened anyway as sales sand streaming start to bleed. 

It's good news for "Death bed" by Powfu feat. Beabadoobee which rose one place to number five on the back of good sales and rather good streaming, it could go higher.

Justin Bieber's "Intentions" feat. Quavo made a welcome slide to number six as interest sputters out in this song however not sputtering out fast enough for my liking, "Say So" by Doja Cat experienced similar as it fell two places to number seven.

"Supalonely" by BENEE and Gus Dapperton remained steady this week as it held on to number eight, it held off a surprisingly resurgent "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I which went back up to number nine off a sales boost.

Unfortunately Dua Lipa's "Break My Heart" slipped three places to number ten after the album boost faded, I think this song should recover though, we'll see.

Gains

The biggest gain this week was unfortunately "Boss Bitch" by Doja Cat which rose from 46 to 24 because now Doja Cat has a top ten hit, people are curious about what else she has made.

Megan Thee Stallion has her first Australian top 20 hit with "Savage" rising to 19 this week.

Re-Entries

So one re-entry this week with "July" by Noah Cyrus back at 48.

Losses

Sam Smith's new single "I'm Ready" feat. Demi Lovato will be out on Friday however "To Die For" is this week's biggest loser down from 31. to 43 this week. 

Lady Gaga will need a second single soon because "Stupid Love" is on the way out as it dropped seven places to 50. 

Drop Outs

Not really complaining too much about the drop outs this week with the only one I am disappointed to see gone is "Sugar" by Brockhampton but I am amazed it stayed on the chart at all let alone 13 weeks.

Maybe "After Hours" by The Weeknd as well but certainly not complaining about the exits of "Old Me" by 5 Seconds of Summer and "Skechers" by DripReport, both those songs are absolutely wretched.

New Entries

Aside from Drake's "Toosie Slide" at number three, we also finally saw "What's Poppin'" by Jack Harlow enter at number 35, it honestly might be the best of the new entries even thought it's not that good.

"Find My Way" by DaBaby found its way onto the chart at 47 to wrap up the week.

So next week we'll find out if Drake can take the top spot, not expecting a lot in the way of new entries might see something from Selena Gomez and Twenty One Pilots but the charts may well be static because of COVID-19, regardless the chart will update at 5pm AEST on Saturday.
