We have a reasonably standard week here, folks, a slew of new entries and some songs taking big hits, others with momentum so lets get right to it starting with the top ten and to nobody's surprise "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion is at number one for a second week and right now it is a dominant number one, it is crushing its rivals on streaming and is still doing well on sales to be comfortable at the top for the time being.
We have a new entry in at number two this week with "Dynamite" by BTS, now this mostly debuted so high because of sales and the fact that there were so many different remixes of this song on iTunes that it dominated the iTunes chart however this song really isn't a player on streaming oddly enough considering how stan armies are constantly pushing streaming and whether or not it's strong enough not to collapse next week as K Pop songs have a bad tendency to do remains to be seen however it was enough to push "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason DeRulo back to number three (More Jason DeRulo later), it's losing ground on streaming and sales are slowly bleeding, this could be leave the top ten sooner rather than later.
The biggest gainer of the week is "Mood" by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, I warned you all last week that this song would be a top ten hit and that's proven to be the case as it surged hard on streaming and even has a little sales to go with it. I don't see it getting to number one for the time being as the margins are too great but it definitely can reach number two in the next week and yeah I am happy about that as this song is as catchy as sin.
All of this was enough to push "Laugh Now Cry Later" by Drake feat. Lil Durk back two spots to number five, this song doesn't quite have streaming behind it the whole way yet. I think there's a real possibility that this song won't be a number one hit which would be strange given it's a lead Drake single.
The late Pop Smoke continues his surge up the Australian chart with "Mood Swings" up two places to number six, this song has slightly better streaming than "Laugh Now Cry Later" so we'll have to see what happens going forward.
There was also a two place gain for "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry and MNEK to number seven, this is gaining traction on streaming slowly.
Then rounding out the top ten are a trio of songs that are on their way out like "Rockstar" by DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch which fell four places to number eight this week, it's fading on streaming now as is "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S which tumbled four to number nine and finally "Roses" by Saint Jhn also plunged four places to number 10.
Gains
Already mentioned the biggest gainer of the week with "Mood" by 24kGoldn feat. Iann Dior up from 36 to 4 this week but there was one other big gain of note from their debut last week which was "Heather" by Conan Gray which climbed from 47 to 18 this week.
Then there's cases of continued momentum like for "You Broke Me First" by Tate McRae which got a jump of eight places to 21.
Losers
It was a busy week for the losers here with the biggest loser being Taylor Swift's "Exile" feat. Bon Iver which is heading for exile down from 28 to 50 while Taylor's former number one "Cardigan" dropped from 18 to 33...ouch.
The pain continued for Billie Eilish's "My Future" as it toppled from 30 to 45.
The losses were smaller for "Break My Heart" by Dua Lipa which slipped six places to 28 while "Everybody Rise" by Amy Shark collapsed five places to 37.
"The Woo" by Pop Smoke couldn't be wooed up so it wooed down from 19 to 25 while "Smile" by Juice WRLD scowled down five to 17.
Drop Outs
Four of the five drop outs will make the year end list apart from "Popstar" by DJ Khaled feat. Drake (good) which left the top 50.
Unforunately securing it's place on the year end list and my year end worst hit songs list is "Intentions" by Justin Bieber feat. Quavo...but I am very happy it is finally gone and hopefully won't be back.
Also gone but safe on year end list are "Adore You" by Harry Styles, "Supalonely" by Benee feat. Gus Dapperton and "Ride it" by Regard (it's been bouncing on and off the top 50 lately so you never know)
New Entries
As I mentioned before, BTS debuted at number two with "Dynamite", their highest charting single thus far in Australia as well which I forgot to mention when I was going through the top ten but beyond that?
Well you have to go all the way down to 36 to find Delta Goodrem's "Paralyzed" at 36, her first charting single since "Think About You" peaked at 19 in March 2018.
Jubel becomes the latest to cover King Harvest's 1973 hit "Dancing In the Moonlight" bring Neimy on board for a debut at number 42.
UK grime and hip hop hits the charts at number 44 through "Ain't It Different" and finally Jason DeRulo's music career revival continues with "Take You Dancing" in at 49 (If you think "Savage Love" is annoying, wait til you hear this song!)
That wraps up a pretty busy week...next week.."WAP" should continue it's stranglehold on number one. Expecting debuts for the new Calvin Harris/The Weekend collaboration and the collaboration between Blackpink and Selena Gomez but we'll see what happens when the chart updates at 5pm AEST on Saturday.
