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.
