"Roses" by Saint JHN kept number two but it's really just streaming holding this song up now while the same could be said of "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd although sales are better for it than they are for "Roses"
Leaping one place to number four this week is "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S. this song could be a player for number one as it is doing very well on sales but needs massive streaming gains to get closer to "Rockstar" however it did enough to push past "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande which fell back to number five, this song just hasn't got the longevity that Gaga probably would have hoped for with Ariana on the track which is a shame because the song has grown on me a fair bit in recent weeks.
Speaking of growing on me, that can be said of "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which climbed six places to number six this week on the back of some remarkable streaming and even sales, we probably need to consider that Harry's album "Fine Line" is doing remarkably well months after it's release.
Following it's success in the UK, "Rover" by S1mba feat. DTG is the biggest gainer this week as it climbed from 25 to number 7 this week! It's not a bad song by any means but it's a genuine surprise to see this doing so well, it pushed "Supalonely" by BENEE feat, Gus Dapperton down two places to number 8.
Rounding out the top ten are the one place losses for "Savage" by Megan Thee Stallion at number nine and "Stuck with You" by Ariana Grande feat. Justin Bieber.
Gains
So I already talked about our biggest gain being "Rover" in the top ten but there were other big gains this week, some of them not so good like the ten place gain to 28 for "Gooba" by the Soundcloud Waifu or the fact that "Party Girl" by StaySolidRocky went up two places to break into the top twenty at 19.
However "Look into My Eyes" by Brando went up ten places to 31...a song that has grown on me a little in the past few weeks.
Losers
The biggest loser this week is "Say So" by Doja Cat which suddenly fell nine places to 16...good. About damn time.
Halsey's :"You Should be Sad" slipped from 29 to hit 36 this week while "The Scotts" by The Scotts dropped from 36 to 44 because the song is not at all memorable and I do not understand how the hell it got a top ten debut.
Drop Outs
So yeah we lost "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish again but if it means we also saw "After Party" by Don Toliver, "Sour Candy" by Lady Gaga and Blackpink and "Life is Good" by Future and Drake gone too then that can only be a good thing!
New Entries
So how do our new entries shape up, well the highest new entry of the week belongs to 16 year old Sydney rapper known as The Kid Laroi who has teamed up with the late Juice WRLD (Juice WRLD was Kid Laroi's mentor during Juice WRLD's Australian tour) for "Go" in at number 23, it's hard to know if this will have any staying power going forward but its certain something that is very respectful of Juice WRLD as a person.
Just when you thought Jason Derulo's music career was over, New Zealander Jawsh 685 has decided to revive it with a song called "Savage Love (laxed - Siren Beat) in at 24...this song seems like it is going to be a hit and in the top ten soon. I don't really mind it, it's really so stupid that you can't hate it.
Easily the worst song of the four to debut this week is "Trollz" by the Soundcloud Waifu feat. Nicki Minaj in at 45, this song will be gone next week given the lack of streaming or sales traction it has.
Finally DJ Regard is back the charts in an attempt to follow up "Ride It", this time teaming up with Raye for "Secrets" in at 48, now this might actually be better than "Ride It". It's a good song, check it out
That wraps up this week, next week we're likely to see Beyonce and maybe Amy Shark hit the charts and I expect "Savage Love" to either reach the top ten or go very close to, we'll find out when the chart updates on Saturday at 5pm
