This week is a relatively busy cooldown week after a massive album bomb where a lot regained their slots big time, others only just made small recoveries as Taylor Swift's "Folklore" receded but let's get to our top ten where as expected "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason DeRulo rode streaming and sales traction to return to number one, it's pretty comfortable but it might face a challenge from the new song by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
It's certainly not facing that challenge from "Rockstar" by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch as it starts to bleed on sales and while it's still fine on streaming, the challengers are coming for it.
There's the biggest new entry of the week at number three with Billie Eilish's "My Future" debuting high but this isn't going to stay high as the song is already falling away on streaming and sales.
"Roses" by Saint Jhn rebounded two places to number four but again, it's position is shaking as it is getting passed on streaming and sales just aren't what they once were.
Taylor Swift's "Cardigan" fell four places to number five and really it was some surprisingly decent streaming that kept this song from falling harder.
The biggest gainer within the top ten is Harry Styles "Watermelon Sugar" which regained four places to number six. I'd keep an eye on this song, it's run isn't done yet especially on streaming, this could rise further especially with some weaker songs ahead of it.
Same goes for "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S which rose two places to number seven on the back of still solid streaming but those sales are starting to show worrying signs.
"Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd continues to show no signs of really fading as it regained four places back into the top ten at number eight because it's still doing okay on streaming but streaming is all it has.
"Exile" by Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver didn't fall as hard as I expected it would, it only fell six places to number nine. This song is being touted as the next single from "Folklore"
Finally, "Come & Go" by Juice WRLD and Marshmello is back in the top ten up one to number ten.
Gains
So even allowing for the fact, I am only going to be covering the large gains that happened...this section is going to be LONG...warning you all now but here goes...the biggest gain of the week was "Be Kind" by Marshmello and Halsey which jumped from 40 back up to 23...which is pleasing because I still like that song.
"Some Say" by Nea continues to rise and be a likely hit up nine places to 14 this week. Radio loves this somehow, also up nine was Juice WRLD's "Wishing Well" to 17.
Pop Smoke's "The Woo" continues to be a presence in the top 20 as it regained 12 places back to 18 (more on Pop Smoke in the new entries this week) while "Break My Heart" by Dua Lipa jumped back up from 31 to 19 this week.
Tones and I's "Dance Monkey" somehow continues to hang around up ten places to 24 while "Stuck with You" by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber crawled from 32 to back to 25 (WHY?)
"Look Into My Eyes" by Brando rose ten slots to 28 as it really continues to look like being a hit...some goes for "Secrets" by Regard and Raye which climbed from 46 to 29.
Finally "This City" by Sam Fischer recovered from 47 last week to hit 36 this week.
Re-Entries
So now let's deal with what returned to replace the Taylor songs that exited the chart and honestly it doesn't start too well when the biggest of the returns is "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi back at 32.
Fortunately it does get better with "Circles" by Post Malone back at number 42 and "Adore You" by Harry Styles at 45.
The tepid "Lose Somebody" by Kygo and OneRepublic re enters at 46 even though I'm amazed ARIA remembered this song existed while "Ily" by Surf Mesa and Emilee is back at 47
The final return is "Pump It Up" by Endor at 50.
Losers
So let's go through the Taylor Swift losses here because that's majority of the losers here, the biggest being "Seven" which hit 48, "Invisible String" is almost cut loose from the chart at 49, "Mirrorball" shows it's cracks at 43, 'August" fell backward to 39, "My Tears Ricochet" dried up at 30, "The Last Great American Dynasty" slipped to 21 and "The 1" stumbled to 15.
Drop Outs
Again the drop outs for the most part are Taylor Swift album tracks so let's blow through these, we lost "This is Me Trying", "Illicit Affairs", "Betty", "Mad Woman", "Epiphany", "Peace" and "Hoax" however she also took "Home and Away" by OneFour and "Tell Me Why" by The Kid Laroi.
New Entries
So apart from Billie Eilish's "My Future" debuting at number three, we got the current UK number one smash hit from Joel Corry with "Head & Heart" in at number 21...this is starting to show signs of being a monster hit in Australia too.
Finally, "Mood Swings" by Pop Smoke feat. Lil Tjay swings in at number 34.
That wraps what was a busy old week regardless, next week, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion swing in, I'm not sure it will debut at number one but we'll have to see what happens when ARIA announces the updated chart on Saturday at 5pm.
