It held off "Rockstar" by DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch which stayed at number two this week because basically it's not closing the margins and its starting to show signs of bleeding on streaming. The same could be said of "Roses" by Saint Jhn which remained at number three, "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S and "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which were stuck at four and five respectively just couldn't close the margins enough even though both "Rockstar" and "Roses" are starting to show signs of wavering on streaming.
"Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd continues to hang on remaining at number six this week while "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande continues to remained glued to the number seven position
The only change of position within the top ten came through "What's Poppin'" by Jack Harlow rising one place to number eight as streaming continues to be surprisingly good for this song and completely goes against everything I said about it last week.
It moved past "Rover" by S1mba feat. DTG which fell to number nine and finally "Go Crazy" by Chris Brown and Young Thug remains at number ten...hopefully a Juice WRLD album bomb will see this gone from the top ten next week.
Gains
The biggest gain this week was for top ten hit in waiting "Some Say" by Nea which rose 13 places to break into the top twenty at number 19.
"Dance Monkey" by Tones and I continues to be a presence by rising five places to number 19 this week.
Losers
As I said last week, Korean pop music tends not to stick around and that was the case with "How You LIke That" by Blackpink which plunged from 12 to 40 this week and will likely be gone next week as a result of the Juice WRLD album bomb.
Also taking a hit was "Standing With You" by Guy Sebastian which fell off its debut of 25 to 32 this week, this song needs some strong promotion and a push on streaming from Guy's label.
"Ride It" by Regard dropped from 34 to 42 this week, it's place on the year end list is sealed which is a good thing considering it's probably one of the songs in danger when Juice WRLD does sweep in.
Drop Outs
Two significant drop outs this week with one being 2019 hit "Memories" by Maroon 5 finally making its exit and will be forgotten about almost immediately while the other is "The Box" by Roddy Ricch, it's sealed its place on the year end list so not too worried about that one being gone.
Also taking their exits this week are "Boss Bitch" by Doja Cat (Would not shock me if she isn't able to follow up the success of "Say So" in Australia) and "July" by Noah Cyrus however what did please me was "Gooba" by 6ix9ine also exited after seven weeks too long on the chart.
New Entries
Pop Smoke's posthumous new album debuted at number one on the ARIA albums chart so we did get three songs from the album with "The Woo" being the highest charting new entry at number 25, "For the Night" at number 32 and his US hit "Dior" in at 48.
The other two debuts this week are "Wash Us in the Blood" by Kanye West feat. Travis Scott at 31 probably due to a streaming boost following Kanye's US presidency run publicity stunt (if you think he is legit going to run for president than I have a vial of legally sourced moondust I'd like to sell you) and in good news for Australian music, Amy Shark enters at 49 with "Everybody Rise" (probably the best of the five new arrivals this week)
Anyway that wraps up this week. Next week...yeah...the carnage a posthumous Juice WRLD album bomb will create...oh well, hopefully it cleans out a few older songs that are still on the chart somehow. we'll find out next week on Saturday at 5pm AEST.
