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
