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
