ARIA Singles top ten/ Chart Review: 27th July. Three Ds in the new entries: DJ Khaled, Drake and....DARYL BRAITHWAITE?

So really this week really won't matter in the scheme of things especially as it seems like we are going to get an enormous album bomb from Taylor Swift that could make much of the chart considerably better next week (If you haven't heard "folklore" yet, I highly recommend you do so because it is an album of the year contender) however we did have something pretty awesome happen and it ties into our new entries, I'll get to it later but first our top ten where "Savage Love" spends a fourth week at number one and right now I don't see anything currently on the chart knocking it off, it's basically got streaming and it's doing well sales wise.

"Rockstar" by DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch remained at nunmber two but its bleeding on streaming and on sales so this could be in for a bit of a fall next week especially if numbers on Spotify start falling hard and really the same could be said for "Roses" by Saint Jhn at number three although it got  remixes with Future and J Balvin respectively. which could see it hold its position.

Breaking into the top five at number four this week is "Come & Go" by Juice WRLD and Marshmello up two places from its debut last week, it pushed "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S back to number five and "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles back to number six (This might get an indirect boost next week from the One Direction anniversary celebration which did get ruined by numbskulls sending threats to Zayn Malik for not acknowledging the anniversary of One Direction...what a way to ruin the band's anniversary celebration and not to mention show that its clear One Direction fans still have not accepted that Zayn has moved on with his life and made his own decisions)

"Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd remained stable at number seven this week ahead of "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande at number eight.

Back in the top ten this week is "What's Poppin'" by Jack Harlow up two places to number and finally a new entry to round out the top ten and the biggest charting debut of the week that being "Popstar" by DJ Khaled and Drake...this song is AWFUL...Oh well hopefully Taylor Swift can flush it right out of the top ten with an album bomb next week.

Gains

The Juice WRLD album bomb receded this week so everything else around it went back up this week with the biggest gain belonging to "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I which went up from 29 to 22 this week. Seriously, aren't people sick of this song yet? I like it but come on, it's time for it to leave already.

We had two songs break into the top twenty this week with "Some Say" by Nea up to 17 from 21 and "The Woo" by Pop Smoke up from 24 to 19 while "Secrets" by Regard and Raye continues to rise up to 27 from 33.

Re-Entries

The receding of the Juice WRLD album bomb saw the return of Regard's "Ride It" at 49. It won't last either. Will be gone next week.

Losers

So let's just get the Juice WRLD songs that lost hard this week out of the way, "Conversations" went quiet at 46, "Righteous" went wrong at 44, "Hate the Otherside" feat. Marshmello, Polo G and The Kid Laroi plummeted to 33 and "Life's A Mess" feat. Halsey sadly hit 32. All this will be replaced by the Taylor Swift album bomb.
Also taking a hit was "Go" by The Kid Laroi which featured Juice WRLD which fell four to 43. 

In non Juice WRLD entries to fall, "Toosie Slide" by Drake dropped five places to 40 (hopefully this is gone next week too. Sadly safe on the year end list though) while "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa fell four to 26 (yeah I know but the song is safe on the year end list...it's all good)

Drop Outs

Only one significant drop out of the four that did say goodbye that being "You Should Be sad" by Halsey which will make the year end list and probably my best hit songs of 2020 list.

The other three are Juice WRLD songs with "Titanic", "Bad Energy" and "Blood on My Jeans" gone

New Entries

So I already mentioned that "Popstar" by DJ Khaled and Drake hitting the top 10 at number 10 but they also have another song on the chart and unfortunately it's worse than "Popstar", "Greece" turned up at 35. These two didn't learn from 2016 clearly.

Anyway you remember how I said that there was something awesome that happened and it tied back into the new entries...well...for the first time since 1993, Daryl Braithwaite is on the ARIA singles top 50 chart with "Love Songs" in at 43. I don't have much hope that it will stick around but it is fantastic to see this song on the chart as it is really damn good.

That wraps up this week...a busy one and it's only going to get more chaotic next week because we have a likely Taylor Swift album coming along with that new Maroon 5 song so next week is going to be WILD when the chart updates at 5pm AEST on Saturday
