This week felt weird especially as it feels like the chart is heading for some major changes that didn't quite happen this week...case in point...the top ten where for a sixth week "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason DeRulo spends a sixth and likely last week at number one, it's still doing fine on streaming and sales but have you seen the numbers for our new entry at number two? They are huge which brings us to "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion debuting at number two and looks set to take the number one spot easily next week as it rules on streaming and is doing decently on sales as it rides the somewhat overblown controversy that came with it.
It pushed back "Rockstar" by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch back to number three as it finally started to leak on streams and collapse on sales. "Roses" by Saint Jhn remains steady at number four
The song that just refuses to go away is "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd which rose three places to number five on the back of streaming somehow...this song will likely top Australia's year end list if this keeps up.
"Watermelon Sugar" remains at number six for Harry Styles, the same goes for "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S.
The second of the new entries to the top ten is "Smile" by the late Juice WRLD and The Weeknd, a song that should be better than it is.
Speaking of Juice WRLD, "Come & Go" with Marshmello rose one place to number 9 and finally riding a massive streaming surge "Mood Swings" by Pop Smoke feat. Lil Tjay rose from 34 to number ten off it's debut last week and is the biggest gainer on the ARIA singles chart this week.
Gains
So outside of "Mood Swings' by Pop Smoke and Lil Tjay having the biggest gain of the week up 24 places to number ten, we had a nine place gain for "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry to number 11.
A string of gains for older songs that can be pinned to the continued receding of the Taylor Swift album bomb "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi continues to hang around like toxic fungus on the nether regions up from 32 to 25 somehow (this is an example of why the ARIA chart needs a recurrent rule) while "Before You Go" jumped up seven places to 30...yuck.. however in better news "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa rebounded to 28.
"Everybody Rise" by Amy Shark climbed six places to 34.
Re Entries
Two re entries with "For The Night" by Pop Smoke back at 32 and "Ride It" by Regard returning for a second time at number 46.
Losses
The biggest loss wasn't for any of the Taylor Swift songs still on the chart for "Popstar" by DJ Khaled and Drake which flop starred down from 22 to 39 while "Standing with You" by Guy Sebastian sat down from 26 to 40.
"Go" by The Kid Laroi and Juice WRLD stopped to drop eight places to 49.
As for the Taylor Swift songs to lose this week, "Cardigan" fell out of the top ten to 12, :"Exile" feat. Bon Iver hit 17 and "The 1" dropped to 29.
Drop Outs
All the drop outs this week are Taylor Swift album tracks with "The Last Great American Dynasty", "My Tears Ricochet", "August", "Mirrorball", "Seven" and "Invisible String" all gone.
New Entries
So I have already mentioned two of our four new entries this week with "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion at number two and "Smile" by Juice WRLD and The Weeknd at number eight.
The other two new entries come from 17 year old Canadian singer and actress Tate McRae with "You Broke Me First" at number 47 and finally Sia's "Together" in at 48 (if "Together" becomes a hit...its a contender for my worst hit songs of 2020 for certain).
So that wraps up the week, next week will likely see "WAP" go to number one but we're probably going to get a new entry from Drake in the top ten so watch out for that one...Miley Cyrus may also debut int the top 50, we'll find out on Saturday at 5pm AEST
