So this week was pleasing to a certain aspect as there was no Drake album bomb within the top 50 and what we got was a middling week with a couple of enormous moves that I will get to but first place where we saw bit of movement was in the top ten just not right at the top where "Roses (Imanbeck Remix) remained at number one for another week mostly due to streaming and solid sales hut will face a challenge next week when Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber's collaboration enters the chart next week likely very high.
"Roses held up over "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd which remained at number two for another week, it's slowly bleeding on sales and streaming but its still got a fair margin to it's opposition which brings us to "Toosie Slide" at number three.which really only has streaming at this point and that is starting to show signs of wavering against stronger opposition...good.
The big story is with our number four that being "Savage" by Megan Thee Stallion which rose sixteen places due to the remix with Beyonce (which ARIA haven't credited this week). It's Megan Thee Stallion's first top ten hit in Australia.
Up three places also courtesy of a remix is "Say So" by Doja Cat. This song got a remix with Nicki Minaj (it's nowhere near as good as the remix of "Savage"). I can see this falling back hard in the weeks ahead.
All of this pushed "Death Bed" by Powfu feat. Beabadoobee down one place to number six, it's just not quite got the streaming or sales to really compete with the top five right now.
"The Scotts" by The Scotts slipped three places to number seven because it's underwhelming at best while Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" slipped two places to number eight as streaming and sales have evaporated for this song.
Rising five places into the top ten is "Rockstar" by DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch at number nine thanks to streaming, this is DaBaby's first top ten hit in Australia and Roddy Rccch's second.
Most pleasingly the frantic movement has seen "Intentions" by Justin Bieber feat. Quavo fall back three places to number ten. Good.
Gains
So the only major gains outside of "Savage" by Megan the Stallion rising to number four were for "ILY" by Surf Mesa feat. Emilee which somehow jumped ten places to 32 and "Rover" by S1mba feat. DTG which got a big boost to 34 (not sure how long either song will stick around though, both seem to benefiting from internet virality.
Re-Entries
We got one re-entry this week from Noah Cyrus with "July" at 47, this song has been bouncing on and off the chart for awhile now so I don't expect it to stick around
Losers
The biggest loser this week is "Maniac" by Conan Gray which fell eleven spots to 48 this week (thank god it really didn't become a massive hit)
Unsurprisingly Travis Scott's "Highest In the Room" took a hit as it fell six places to 46 and "Sicko Mode" with Drake dropped seven places to 38 while Tones and I's "Never Seen the Rain" plunged from 41 to 49 (Yeah I like it but it's time for this to exit already)
"The Box" by Roddy Rich hit 26 down from 19 last week while "I'm Ready" by Sam Smith feat. Demi Lovato continues to be a non starter at 39.
Drop Outs
Neither drop out is all that surprising with "Goosebumps" by Travis Scott feat Kendrick Lamar and "Glitter" by BENEE both gone this week. Bit of a shame because would have liked to have seen "Goosebumps" become a hit in 2020.
New Entries
There's only just the one new entry to speak of this week and that is at number sixteen with "Be Kind" by Marshmello and Halsey, the song is actually surprisingly good and well worth checking out.
So that wraps up this week, expecting the debuts of the collab by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber plus that new unfortunate song by 6ix9ine when the chart updates on Saturday at 5pm.
