The impact of the Folklore can be felt immediately in the top ten where we have a new number one and the first of five songs from Folkore in the top ten, "Cardigan" by Taylor Swift. Now, this isn't going to stay at number one because this got to number one the back of large streaming courtesy of the hype and excellent reviews but that's all it has, it's not going to sustain itself there which opens the way for "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo to return to the top spot after falling to number two, it's got back the streaming lead and looks strong on sales.
Then there are two Taylor Swift songa with "Exile" feat. Bon Iver at number three, Bon Iver's first top ten ARIA singles chart hit and "The 1" at number four.
"Rockstar" by DaBaby feat Roddy Ricch slipped down three spots to number five this week but it's still doing well enough on streaming to recover next week. The same goes for "Roses" by Saint Jhn" down three to number six.
The final two Taylor Swift songs in the top ten are "The Last Great American Dynasty" at number seven and "My Tears Ricochet" at number eight.
At number nine is "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S which slipped four places and "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which also tumbled four places but both these should recover especially "Watermelon Sugar" which seems to have found new legs on streaming
Gains
There was one gain this week and that was "Go" by The Kid Laroi feat. Juice WRLD up eleven places to 36 but that's connected with the release of The Kid Laroi's album "Fuck Love"
Losers
EVERYTHING not Taylor Swift took big tumbles outside the top ten. Let's start with songs that were in the top ten last week "Come & Go" by Juice WRLD and Marshmello went down 7 places to 11, "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande poured down nine places to 17, "Go Crazy" by Chris Brown and Young Thug went down crazy to 20 and finally "Popstar" by DJ Khaled and Drake plunged 16 down to 26...the last two aren't welcome back in the top ten when the Taylor album bomb recedes next week.
Then there's former top ten hits like "Rover" by S1mba feat. DTG which slipped nine to 24, "Standing with You" by Guy Sebastian sit down to hit 27 while "Wishing Well" by Juice WRLD got leaky and hit 28, "Break My Heart" by Dua Lipa had it's recovery disturbed as it dropped from 15 to 31 and "Stuck With U" by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber become unglued to drop to 32 from 16.
"Supalonely" by Benee and Gus Dapperton also fits in the former top ten hits category, it's feeling lonely as it plummeted from 18 to 37 this week along with "Death Bed" by Powfu feat Beabadoobee which dropped from 24 to 45.
Then there's songs that have had their momentum take hits from which they may not recover like "The Woo" by Pop Smoke which hit 30 from 19 and "Party Girl" by StaySolid Rocky which suffered from the girl being a party pooper as it tumbled 15 to 35 while Brando's "Look Into My Eyes" slipped seven to 38, "Be Kjnd" by Marshmello feat Halsey plunging from 21 to 40 and "Everybody Rise" by Amy Shark falling over 10 places to 44. Finally in this category, "Secrets" by Regard feat. Raye dropped from 27 to 46.
Two songs that the Taylor Swift album didn't clean off the chart like former chart topper "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I which only took a hit down from 16 to 32...this song has quietly been staging a mini revival of late while "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi slumped foen from 28 to 42.
Also taking a drop were songs safely on the year end list anyway like "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa which fell from 26 to 41, the biggest loser of the week "Savage" by Megan Thee Stallion which dropped from 25 to 50, "Intentions" by Justin Bieber feat. Quavo fell hard from 23 to 39.
Likely on the way out anyway is "This City" by Sam Fischer as it dropped from 29 to 47...
Phew! That finishes that. Most of this should rebound and it will be telling what doesn't...,
Drop Outs
In line with all the new arrivals, we also have a long list of drop outs that might or might not comeback however Taylor pretty much wiped out most of the Juice WRLD album bomb with "LIfe's A Mess" feat. Halsey, "Hate The Other Side" with Marshmello, Polo G and The Kid Laroi, "Righteous" and "Conversations" gone and won't be back unless singles.
Also gone but might return next week but are year end list certainties like "Adore You" by Harry Styles, "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi, "Ride It" by Regard, "Sunday Best" by Surfaces, "Toosie Slide" by Drake, "Say So" by Doja Cat and "Circles" by Post Malone with the last not eligible for either of my lists because it made my best list in 2019.
Then there are the songs that are question marks for year end list like "ILY" by Surf Mesa feat. Emilee, "Pump It Up" by Endor and "Blueberry Faygo" by Lil Mosey, they also took with them "Lose Somebody" by Kygo and OneRepublic, "Love Songs" by Daryl Braithwaite, "Greece" by DJ Khaled and Drake and finally "I'm Good" by Hilltop Hoods
New Entries
So lets get through the rest of the new entries that I haven't gotten to as yet. From the "Folklore" album bomb for Taylor Swift, we have eleven songs new outside the top ten: "August" at 13, "Mirrorball" spinning around at 14, "Seven" at 16, "This is Me Trying" at 18, "Invisible String" at 19, "Illicit Affairs" at 21, "Betty" at 22, "Mad Woman" at 25, "Epiphany" at 29, "Peace" at 33 and "Hoax" at 43.
Finally we have two new songs with The Kid Laroi's "Tell Me Why" new in at 49 because of the album and finally not connected to an album, we have OneFour with "Home and Away" at number 48.
What a week, we'll find out the fall out of all of this next week. I don't mind this album bomb from Taylor because the album is fantastic and yeah I have already ordered my copy. Also next week, there's a new Billie Eilish song likely to debut high and goodness knows what else, we'll find out when the chart updates at 5pm AEST on Saturday
