ARIA Top Ten Singles/Chart Review: 28th September. Is the race for number one on?

 So this week was finally interesting in terms of the number one spot and the top ten because we got some movement and some interesting shifts that I have no idea will end up sticking around long term but let's start with what is starting to brew at the very top where "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion remains at number one for a sixth week but the song is starting to show signs of weakness as it started slipping on sales and even more crucially on streaming especially on Spotify.

All that makes "WAP" vulnerable to "Mood" by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior which is getting plenty of streaming traction...just needs to get some consistent momentum on streaming and it could well surpass "WAP" for number one.

It pretty much leaves "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry feat. MNEK a bystander watching as two heavyweights duke it out, its got great sales but only solid streaming but it's not quite as competitive with the two songs above it

We have the first two new entries in the top ten (three overall in the top 50) with "Holy" by Justin Bieber feat. Chance the Rapper in at number four, Now I won't talk too much about the song's quality of the song here because I am planning to do a top 20 ranked on this week but it debuted this high thanks to a combination of good sales and streaming which means it could be here awhile.,,yay (sarcasm).

It was enough to push "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 feat. Jason DeRulo down one place to number five as it list ground on streaming with sales really keeping it in the top five.

Next up we have a new entry that shocked plenty of people, "One Too Many" by Keith Urban feat. Pink in at number six! It's Urban's first top ten hit on the all genre ARIA singles chart and it got there purely on sales, it's had enormous sales through out the past week. 

"Lemonade" by Internet Money and Gunna frat. Don Toliver and Nav is into the top ten up six places to number sevem....thanks to streaming because of course streaming would love the most basic of hip hop songs.

The rest of the top ten are the songs that have probably overstayed their welcome in the top ten with "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which slipped two to number eight, "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S down four places to number nine and finally "Rockstar" by DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch which dropped three to number ten.

Gains

The gains this week are mostly muted with the biggest gain of the week was for Machine Gun Kelly's "My Ex's Best Friend" feat. Blackbear to 35 (I expect another rise for this next week given MGK released his album yesterday and it's actually not bad),

"Popstar" by DJ Khaled and Drake gained 4 places to 21. "Kings & Queens" by Ava Max only managed a two place rise off the back of the album release to 31.

 

Losers

So some really big losers this week including "Ice Cream" by Blackpink and Selena Gomez down ten to 50...this has stuck around longer than I had hoped...oh well it will be gone next week hopefully.

"Smile" by Juice WRLD frat. The Weeknd down from 32 to 45 while "Wishing Well" also by Juice WRLD slipped from 38 to 42 and "Come & Go" frat. Marshmello down six to 20.

"Secrets" by Regard and Raye down eight places from 29 to 37 while much to my relier "Together" by Sia slipped from  27 to 32. 

Finally "Heather" by Conan Gray down six to 21.


Drop outs

None of three drop outs are all that surprising with "Be Kind" by Marshmello and Halsey, "Tap In" by Saweetie and "Over Now" by Calvin Harris and The Weeknd all gone and most likely won't be back.


New Entries

So apart from the two new entries in the top ten, there was one other new entry this week with a cover of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On" by American singer Ritt Momney aka Jake Butler at number 34.


So that wraps up the week..not sure what will hit the chart in terms of new releases...maybe that new Travis Scott song, we'll have to see when the ARIA singles chart updates on Saturday at 5pm


Thursday 24 September 2020

2000 Sound: 24th September. Don't You Worry...Kylie's number one on a night like this.

 So it's another fairly standard week until you look right at the very top of the chart and smile with relief because we finally have a brand new number one and while I anticipated "On A Night Like This" by Kylie Minogue would challenge "Music" by Madonna for number one, I didn't expect it to be successful which is what happened. "On a Night Like This" is Kylie's second number one single, it had huge sales this week which helped it to ride all the way to the top however I don't expect it to last which is why unfortunately Madonna, pushed back to number two this week, is still a chance at number one with "Music"

Kylie's massive debut also resulted in the rest of the top five being pushed back with "Shackles (Praise You) down one to number three, "I'm Outta Love" by Anastacia down to number four and "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams back to number five.

Then there's "Lucky" by Britney Spears which remains steady at number xix but's coming under pressure from Pink's "MostAl Girls" which rose two places to number seven. 

All of this saw "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child slip three places to number eight...will be kind of glad to see this song gone if I am going to be honest.

Ronan Keating's rollercoaster ride on the chart with "Life Is A Rollercoaster" bumps back one to number nine.

Craig David has his first top ten hit with "Fill Me In" up five places to number ten this week!

Gains

There's very little in the gains this week. Bomfunk MCs unfortunately cracked the top twenty rising from 24 to 17 with "B-Boys & Flygirls"...this song is only slightly more tolerable than 'Freestyler" but that's not saying much.

However the big gain this week was for Madasun's "Don't You Worry" which jumped from 37 to 22! Good to see as I still really like that song.

"Let's Get Loud" by Jennifer Lopez climbed four to 23.

Mandy Moore's "I Wanna Be With You" jumped to 27 off it's debut last week. 


Losses

Kaylan's "Shake It" got very shaky and collapsed from 19 to 47 as the hype dies for that song. Lara Fabian's "I Will Love Again" plunged to 46 off it's debut. 

Vertical Horizon dropped five places to 35 while "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" by Morcheeba slipped six to 34. 

"Could I Have this Kiss Forever" by Whitney Houston and Enrigue Iglesias tumbled from 18 to 32.

Sisqo's "Unleashed the Dragon" was leashed to an eight place drop to 30 while Bon Jovi are bemoaning "Say It Isn't So" being down five to 19 which also occurred for Aaliyah's "Try Again" to 15 and "We Will Rock You" by Five and Queen to 11.

New Entries

The biggest new entry of the week belongs to an Italian electronic music producer Cristiano Spiller aka Spiller who has teamed up with UK singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor for "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" which has debuted at number 12 which is quite incredible considering the other acts which also have songs debuting this week.

Christina Aguilera is back with "Come on Over Baby (All I Want is You)" at number 18. Ehh...it's a pop song..its fine, Christina sells it well.

Whitney Houston has a new collab on the chart this time with George Michael for a song called "If I told You That" at number 37, 

We get to an Aussie act debuting, it's The Superjesus in at 38 with the pretty terrific "Gravity", Hope this becomes hit for them.

Finally Toni Braxton is strumming her "Spanish Guitar" at number 44.

ARIA Top Ten Singles/Chart Review: 21st September.

 Ever get the feeling that the top ten has gotten a bit stodgy in recent times? Well yeah, that's feeling I've had for awhile because really only things shifted a little inside the top ten with older songs moving back up, it feels like the top ten just switches positions occasionally...just not at the top where "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion spends a fifith week at number one, it's still dominant on streaming but those sales are starting to bleed in its first real sign it's grip on number one might be loosening. 

It's closest competition comes from "Mood" by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior which remains at number two this week, its still a huge chance at number one as its streaming has been reasonably competitive with "WAP" on streaming and is starting to do better than "WAP" on digital sales.

Joel Corry's "Head & Heart" feat MNEK rose one place to number three this week as its streaming gained quite impressively and sales are doing better than both "WAP" and "Mood", heck, it moved past "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason DeRulo to number four which is starting to bleed on streaming and sales however it was was enough to remain ahead of "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S at number five which still somehow has consistent streaming.

Speaking of streaming, rebounds in streaming saw "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles rebound to six, "Rockstar" by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch return to number seven and "Laugh Now, Cry Later" by Drake feat. Lil Durk to number eight.

All of this saw "Mood Swings" by Pop Smoke slip back three to number nine while "Roses" by Saint Jhn returns to the top ten up one to number ten.


Gains

The biggest gain this week belongs to Internet Money and Gunna after "Lemonade" feat. NAV and Don Toliver jumped from 47 to 13. Looks like it could be a player for the top ten next week which is a pity because the song is not good. 

The not good gains continued with the very annoying "Take You Dancing" by Jason DeRulo up to 15 from 22.

Only real decent gain from song quality perspective is "Kings & Queens" by Ava Max up ten spots to 33 and Brando up five to 34 with "Look Into My Eyes"


Losers

"Tap In" by Saweetie fell ten places to 47 this week while Blackpink continued to see diminishing returns for "Ice Cream" featuring Selena Gomez as it plummeted from 26 to 40 (Probably a good thing this song won't be sticking around, its not good).

"Over Now" by Calvin Harris and The Weeknd fell seven to 50...bit of a shame that this isn't sticking around, it's a good song.

"Be Kind" by Marshmello and Halsey unfortunately slipped from 38 to 43 while oddly "Heather" by Conan Gray fell eight to 21...thought the latter was going to hit the top ten but seems not.now


Drop Outs

We had two drop outs this week with "Death bed" by Powfu feat. Beabadoobee gone, it's got its year end slot all shored up regardless.

The other is "Lose Somebody" by Kygo and OneRepublic...yeah I forgot this song existed til now.


New Entries

Just the two new entries this week with Machine Gun Kelly hitting the chart with the highest debut of the week, he has teamed up with Blackbear for a stab at punk rock with "My Ex's Best Friend' at 41.

Marshmello returns to the ARIA singles chart, this time teaming up with Demi Lovato for "It's OK Not to be OK" at number 48.


Anyway that wraps up the week on the singles chart, expecting Justin Bieber's collab with Chance the Rapper to hit high on the chart (unfortunately), maybe that new Keith Urban and Pink song plus Internet Money maybe breaking into the top 10 so yeah next week could be rough but we'll find out when ARIA updates the chart at 5pm AEST on Saturday.



Thursday 17 September 2020

2000 Sound: 17th September. As "Music" remains number one, will we still be friends forever?

 So this week is a fairly normal week, a slew of new arrivals and movement up and down the chart except most exasperatingly at number one where Madonna remains with "Music" however this could have strong competition from Kylie Minogue's new single "On A Night Like This" which will debut next week so we'll have to see what happens.

All this places "Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary in an awkward place because while it moved up three places to number two, it's not really a show of getting to number one yet however it still pushed Anastacia's "I'm Outta Love" down one to number three as it gracefully heads toward the exit of the top ten. 

Up two to number four following a really good sales week is "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams, it's looking comfortable in the top five right now especially as it pushed past "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child down one to number five and "Lucky" by Britney Spears down three to number six. Both the latter songs look to have run out of puff now. 

"We Will Rock You" by Five and Queen which recovered one spot to number seven although I don't expect that recovery to continue given there are songs with momentum behind it which isn't the case for "Life is a Rollercoaster" by Ronan Keating down one to number eight as it lost sales this week however if you want an example of momentum check out Pink's "Most Girls" which rose from 21 to hit the top ten at number nine and looks like it could climb further in the weeks ahead.

Wrapping up the top ten is "Try Again" by Aaliyah up one place to return to the top ten at number ten.

Gains

I already mentioned the big gain for Pink's "Most Girls into the top ten at number nine but Girl Thing's "Last One Standing" is into the top twenty rising from 22 to 17 this week while Mel C's "I Turn to You" is up five to 11.

Kaylan's "Shake It" is one of the biggest gains this week though as it shook all the way from 35 to 19 this week...now that is shaking the chart!

"B-Boys & Flygirls" by Bomfunk MCs rose eight to 24 while unfortunately Jennifer Lopez has risen 11 places to 27 with "Let's Get Loud"

Morcheeba's "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" built on its gains as it went up eight places to 28.

Re-Entries

Just the one return with "Blow Up the Pokies" by The Whitlams back at 43 (would love for this song to get a consistent run on the chart somehow)

Losers

I mentioned Kylie's new single "On a Night Like This" coming next week, well her former number one "Spinning Around" is heading out of the chart as it plunged from 34 to 47 this week while "Doesn't Really Matter" by Janet Jackson dropped nine places to 48

"Breathe" by Faith Hill dropped from 41 to 49 this week while Madison Avenue's "Who the Hell are You?" took a much welcome hit from 25 to 39 as did "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MCs which dropped from 24 to 38,,,thank goodness.,the latter two are terrible songs.

Unfortunately Powderfinger's "My Happiness" slipped down 10 places to 25 while "Shalala Lala" by Vengaboys skidded down nine places to 21.

New Entries

The biggest new entry of the week belongs to Boyz II Men as "Pass You By" debuts at 13. I am not sure if this will be a hit so we'll have to see.

Belginn singer-songwrier Lara Fabian hits the ARIA chart with "I Will Love Again at 31 while American pop singer Mandy Moore enters ballad "I Wanna Be With You" at number 33. 

A song that I sure is going to get a lot of radio play is "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by American rock band ninedays...this song is as catchy as sin and has lodged itself on the chart at 41

American singer Colleen Fitzpatrick otherwise known as Vitmin C has lodged "Graduation (Friends Forever)" at number 46.

Finally 28 Days wind up this week perfectly with their new single "Goodbye" debuting at number 50



Sunday 13 September 2020

ARIA Singles top Ten/Chart Review: 14th September. Big rise for Ain't It Different.

 This week is a fairly quiet one so I am going to rip through this one quickly as the top four didn't change. "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion remaining at number one for a fourth week, it is still a dominant presence on streaming and while sales aren't quite as strong as they have been previously...it's still got enough streaming to stay at number one.

"Mood" by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior remains at number two for a second week and much like "WAP", streaming is ensuring this is a dominant number two despite only just decent sales, "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason DeRulo remaining at number three as it slowly starts to leak sales and streams which makes it vulnerable to "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry feat MNEK at number four, this song is still gaining on streaming and looks set to surpass "Savage Love" in the weeks ahead.

A good streaming week saw "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S rebound four places to number...this isn't going to last..I expect this song to fall back a bit next week but regardless it was enough to knock "Mood Swings" by Pop Smoke back one spot to number six, it's really just got streaming right now..there's no sales for this song.

Same could be said for "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles as it rose on the back of streaming to number seven although that might be because of the weaknesses of both "Rockstar" by Dababy feat. Roddy Ricch down two places to number eight and "Laugh Now, Cry Later" by Drake feat. Lil Durk down two to number nine, the latter not having as much staying power inside the top ten as I thought.

"Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd extends its stay in the top ten for another week by remaining at number ten and likely ensuring it's number one spot on the ARIA chart's year end top 100 singles for 2020.

Gains

The biggest gain this week was for "Ain't It Different" by Headie One feat. AJ Tracey and Stormzy rising from 45 last week to 31, got a funny feeling this song is going to be big in a few weeks time.

There were also gains for "Heather" by Conan Gray which climbed seven places to 13, Tate McRae's Billie Eilish rip off "You Broke Me First" climbs from 22 to 15 while "Midnight Sky" by Miley Cyrus is up five places to 16, "For the Night" by Pop Smoke rose four places to 20.

Finally "Take You Dancing" by Jason DeRulo continues to surge up five spots to 22.


Re-Entries

Just the one return this week with "Popstar" by DJ Khaled feat. Drake returning at 28, mostly due to the hype off the music video which replaced Drake with Justin Bieber.


Losers

The biggest fall came for "Over Now" by Calvin Harris and The Weeknd which almost lived up to it's own title by falling from 17 to 43. I hope it can recover because it's a solid song. 

What I am hoping doesn't recover it's the brain freeze inducing "Ice Cream" by Blackpink and Selena Gomez which melted down ten spots to 26. 

"The Woo" by Pop Smoke couldn't be wooed higher so fell eight to 41. 


Drop outs

Pretty clear cut list of drop outs, a little disappointed to see "Standing With You" by Guy Sebastian gone but it's taking "Party Girl" by Stay Solid Rocky so not really complaining all that much, happy that "Party Girl" is gone.

Also gone is "Ride It" by Regard...that song has been jumping in and out of the top 50 a lot of late.

New Entries

Two new entries this week...neither of which are all that good with "Tap In" by Saweetie arriving at 37 and "Lemonade" by Internet Money feat. Gunna and Don Toliver entering at 41...got a feeling the latter of the two is going to be a hit and no, that is not a good thing..

That wraps up the week, possibly new entries from Marshmello feat. Demi Lovato and maybe Sia working with David Guetta but we'll have wait until 5pm AEST Saturday when ARIA updates the official top 50 singles. 




Thursday 10 September 2020

2000 Sound: 10th September. Fill Me In on how Madonna's "Music" is Music

 Bit of a busy week here so let's jump straight into it with the top ten where unfortunately Madonna's "Music" still rules the chart at number one...unfortunately. it's got enough sales to hold there for awhile ahead of "I'm Outta Love" by Anastacia at number two but its going to come under some pressure from "Lucky" by Britney Spears which rode a two place boost to number three this week...a little surprising given I don't think it's that good however it was enough to push "Jumpin' Jumpin'" down to number four, as sales slowed down.

"Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary rose three places to number five..I can see this song rising higher mostly because it's got quite the catchy chorus as well and radio loves this song.

The biggest gainer of the week within the top ten belongs to Robbie Williams with "Rock DJ" rising four places to number six...again not surprising given Robbie's force of personality on the song, it pushed Ronan Keating's "Life is a Rollercoaster" down  one to number seven while "We Will Rock You" by Five and Queen hit the skids down four to number eight, this one seems to have peaked thank goodness.

Staying steady at number nine is "Say It Isn't So" by Bon Jovi while taking a surprise three place fall is "Breathless" by The Corrs to number ten...seems like momentum has sputtered out for.

Gains.

Craig David's "Fill Me In" is the biggest gainer of the week up eight places off its debut to number 14 (may well be a top ten hit) 

Madasun may well have a hit in the making with "Don't You Worry" up to 37 from 43 last week.

Finally "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" by Enrique Iglesias and Whitney Houston rose 5 places to 12

Re-Entries 

Back at 45 is Daphne & Celeste with "U.G.L.Y" because yeah we apparently need a joke song on the chart

Losers

Unfortunately "Desensitised" by Invertigo is headed out of the chart as it plunged 15 places to 50...ouch. 

*N Sync's "It's Gonna Be Me" also took a big hit dropping from 34 to 49 this week while Leah Haywood's "Crazy" looks like not quite having the same success as it drops from 37 to 43. 

Jessica Simpson's "I Think I am in Love with You" thankfully dived from 25 to 31. Thank GOD...get this shit off the chart fast while finally, "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MCs took a nine place hit to 24.

New Entries

We got a slew of new entries this week beginning at number 19 with Bardot's "These Days"...the latest single from their debut self titled album, it's okay but not better than "I Should've Never Let You Go"

Pink returns to the charts at number 21 with "Most Girls"...I don't quite get the appeal of this song just quietly.

UK garage production duo called True Steppers have their first Australian charting single teaming up with former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham for a song called "Out of Your Mind" at number 27. 

Finally Bomfunk MCs are back trying to follow up the success of "Freestyler" this time with a song called "B-Boys & Flygirls" at number 32.



Tuesday 8 September 2020

ARIA Singles Top Ten/Chart Review: 7th September. Australia, get a bucket and a mop, it's just some Wet Ass Pussy at number one

 So this week felt fairly muted, we got some unsurprising changes to the top ten and two new songs debuting in the top twenty plus your regularly scheduled shifts up and down the chart, some of the shifts I am not happy with but let's dive into it with the top ten where we begin at number one with "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion spending a third week at the top and again this song is a dominant number one on every single measure...sales and streaming, it's got a lock on the number one spot for awhile yet.

The fight looks to be on for number two with "Mood" by 24KGolden and Iann Dior which on the back of strong streaming and reasonable sales jumped two places to number two and looks to be a threat to "WAP" should it show any signs of weakness, it blew past "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason DeRulo which remained steady at number three this week, it's still got some sales and streaming but that won't last forever.

Up three places to number four is "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry and MNEK off the back of solid streaming and sales, this song is going to stay around in the top ten for awhile and really I am fine with that the song is good.

Climbing one place to number five is "Mood Swings" by the late Pop Smoke.which is mostly just in the top five on streaming alone.

"Rockstar" by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch regained some ground up two places to number six mostly due to streaming.

One of the reasons for all the carnage is the two place drop for Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later" feat. Lil Durk, it slipped this week mostly because sales aren't doing enough for this song and it's only being held up by streaming.

You could say the same for "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which returned to the top ten this week up three places to number eight mostly due to a resurgence on streaming. 

"Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S also is hanging on on streaming as it remained at number nine this week....although this song seems to have some sales.

Finally streaming saw "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd rise two places to return to the top ten at number ten.


Gains

The success of "Savage Love" has meant that Jason DeRulo's latest single "Take You Dancing" got the biggest gain of the week up from 49 to 27 this week, s song that could be considered just as annoying as "Savage Love"!

A gain I am not happy about is the big rise for Sia's "Together" which rose 14 places to 34...I mean come on...Sia's done better than this..anyway...the other big gainer this week was Jubel and Neimy's "Dancing in the Moonlight" which climbed from 42 to 26 this week.

Re-Entries

Two returns this week, the best of those is "Adore You" by Harry Styles at 46 and "Ride It" by Regard at 50.


Losses

The biggest loss of the week belonged to "Dynamite" by BTS as it fell from number 2 to number 11. I have a suspicion that this song will steady next week and return to the top ten but we'll have to see.

Outside of that, "Rover" by S1mba and DTG fell ight places to 38 while "Stuck with u" by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber tumbled six to 40. 

"The Woo" by Pop Smoke got wooed down eight to 33 while "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi stumbled six to 35.

"Wishing Well" by Juice WRLD dropped from 24 to 31 while "Smile" with The Weeknd dived from 17 to 23.


Drop Outs

Just the four drop outs with Taylor Swift's 'Cardigan" and "Exile" feat. Bon Iver both gone taking "Paralyzed" by Delta Goodrem and...unfortunately..."My Future" by Billie Eilish with them.


New Entries

Just two new entries to mention this week with the highest new entry of this week belonging to Blackpink's collaboration with Selena Gomez called "Ice Cream" which arrived at number 16. 

Finally, Calvin Harris is back on the chart teaming up with The Weeknd for "Over Now" at number 17.

That wraps up this week. Not really expecting much in the way of new entries this week...maybe that SZA song with Ty Dolla $ign and The Neptunes but we'll have to see when ARIA updates their chart at 5pm on Saturday



Thursday 3 September 2020

2000 Sound: 3rd September. Say It Isn't So! A new number one...

 So this week kind of feels like a little bit of a disappointment, we had two new entries to the top ten plus other new entries outside of that along with a few songs arriving in the top ten along with shifts up and down the chart but lets deal with the top ten because we have a song debuting on the chart this week at number one..."Music" by Madonna...let's not mince words here, the song is one of Madonna's worst of her career, it's absolutely awful but none the less it rode massive sales to reach the top spot. 

It was enough to dethrone "I'm  Outta Love" by Anastacia which fell back to number two as it couldn't quite match Madonna on sales with the same going for "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child down on to number three and "We Will Rock You" by Five and Queen down to number four. 

Britney Spears climbed one place to number five with "Lucky" while "Life is a Rollercoaster"  by Ronan Keating jumped two places to number six, then there's "Breathless' by The Corrs which remains steady at number seven.

Mary Mary hit the top ten for the first time up seven spots to eight and is looking like having a huge hit with "Shackles (Praise You)" (kind of interesting there considering the religious subtext of the song)

Then we have the second new entry on the chart debuting in the top ten with "Say It Isn't So" by Bon Jovi...I'm pretty meh on this one...it's not quite as as good as "It's My Life".

Finally rising four places to number ten is "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams...a strange song that has grown on me a fair bit..


Gains

A quiet week for the gains. Britney Spears "Lucky" with the biggest gain of the week. Several songs including Morcheeba's "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" and Wonderful" by Everclear rose four places but other than that...pretty quiet.


Re Entries

Just the one return this week with "Blow Up The Pokies" by The Whitlams back at 46.


Losers

Kaylan's "Shake It" shook down 22 places to 39 this week and is the biggest loser of the week while "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MCs dropped ten places to 15. There was an eight place loss for "So Real" by Mandy Moore down to 48 while "Thong Song" by Sisqo also plunged eight places to 33. 

"Breathe" by Faith Hill dropped six places to 38 while "Just Around the Hill" by Sash! plummeted from 42 to 49. 

Powderfinger's "My Happiness" took a dive down eight to 12 while "Shalala Lala" by Vengaboys slipped five to 14.


New Entries

So all up there are four new entries this week with "Music" by Madonna at number one, "Say It Isn't So" by Bon Jovi at number 9.


Mel C is trying to follow up "Never Be the Same Again" with her ballad "I Turn To You" debuting at 16 while Fuel are back on the charts at number 50 with "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)
