ARIA Singles Top Ten/Chart Review: 6th July. Jason Derulo gives out some "Savage Love" to go number one

So I guess I kind of expected this week to be busier than it actually was, mainly due to all the new releases for New Music Friday last week but that wasn't to be however it was busy in our top ten this week so let's go straight to that where after six weeks, we have a new number one that being "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, it's Jawsh 685's first number one hit in Australia and Jason DeRulo's third (Yes, I am a little blown away by that fact to be quite honest), it got to number one mostly because of sales and streaming.

"Savage Love" rising to the top pushed "Rockstar" by DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch down to number two as it lost out on sales and on Apple Music to "Savage Love". Whether or not it can get back to number one is an open question.

Which is not the case for the rest of the top ten which begins at number three with "Roses" by Saint Jhn which fell one place to number three mostly because it's finally losing ground on sales and streaming.

"Breaking Me" by Topic and A7S remains stuck at number four mostly because while it's stable on both sales and streaming, it's not doing enough to surpass the songs in front of it.

"Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles continue to claw its way up the charts up one place to number five, it's getting sales on board and streaming is not that far behind, it could climb further if songs ahead of it start weakening, it blew past "Blind Lights" by The Weeknd which is bleeding on streaming and once sales really start falling away, this song will be gone.

"Rain on Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande remains at number seven mostly because streaming is still hanging on for this song, likewise sales. It's a similar case for "Rover" by S1mba feat. DTG remaining at number eight.

The big story within the top ten though outside of the new number one which is the rise of "What's Poppin'" by Jack Harlow which rose to number nine from 38 due to a remix feat. DaBaby, Tory Lanez and Lil Wayne, I don't see this sticking around in the top ten as it's not the most sustainable gain and there are some people who are unhappy ARIA haven't credited the remix on the chart this week...here's the thing with that, ARIA didn't credit Nicki Minaj when the remix helped Doja Cat's "Say So" get a boost or Beyonce on "Savage" by Megan Thee Stallion so not sure why this should be any different.

Finally dropping one place to number ten is "Go Crazy" by Chris Brown and Young Thug which will benefit if "What's Poppin'" does fall off unfortunately.

Gains

So I have already talked about the massive gains for "What's Poppin'" by Jack Harlow to number nine. Nea's "Some Say" got a big boost to 33 up from 50 last week as it looks set to become a hit even if sampling "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 is not the most ideal way to a long term music career.

Losers

Most pleasingly the biggest loser this week was Soundcloud Waifu's "Gooba" which fell from 31 to 43...good....the sooner it's gone the better the charts will be for this song's disappearance from it.

"Go" by The Kid Laroi feat. Juice WRLD got hit hard down from 24 to 32 this week while "Ily" by Surf Mesa feat. Emilee collapsed six places to 29 and the utter boring crap that is "Toosie Slide" by Drake fell from 17 to 22...good.

Also taking a hit is "Ur So Effing Cool" by Tones and I down five to 49, "In Your Eyes" by THe Weekend also plunged five to 40 while "Say So" by Doja Cat dropped five to 25.

Drop Outs

So we had two drop outs this week with both maybe a chance of year end list with "The Scotts" by The Scotts and "Bad Child" by Tones and I gone. Fine with that, don't really care for "The Scotts" and "Bad Child is fine enough but it wasn't going to be a massive hit.

New Entries

So we have two new entries this week with Blackpink's disappointing new single "How You Like That" the highest new entry at number 12. Like with BTS, this song is going to fall off hard next week either down to the 40s or out of the top 50 altogether, that just seems to be what happens with k-pop on the Australian singles chart.

The song that has the better chance of sticking around is "Standing with You" by Guy Sebastian at number 23 thanks to sales, just wish Australian music knew how to get on the streaming train and actively promoted Aussie music on Spotify and Apple Music because streaming is what really stopped this song from being a top ten debut and I fear that will be the same for The Veronicas new single.

Anyway that wraps up the week, next week may see a posthumous mini album bomb from Pop Smoke and from what I have heard, the album is not good, also maybe The Veronicas new single but we'll find out at 5pm on Saturday when ARIA updates the chart.
