ARIA Singles Top Ten Chart Review: 12th October. Bet You Wanna Be having Dreams

Well this week...happened, we got a slew of new entries and a return not to mention the big gain outside the top ten that everybody is watching.rise but let's start with the top ten where for a second week, "Mood" by 24k Goldn and Iann Dior remains at number one pretty much down to streaming and some sales. The top three really haven't changed at all with "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion remaining at number two and "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry and MNEK at number three.

Meanwhile an unaccredited remix with BTS saw "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo rebound one place to number four. I'd like to see the song gone soon, I am pretty darn tired of it now however it went past the much worse "Holy" by Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper down one to number five.

"Lemonade" by Internet Money and Gunna feat. Don Toliver and NAV remained steady at number six but I expect this song to stick around and climb higher in the weeks ahead unfortunately however the at isn't the case with "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which remained steady at number seven thanks to decent streaming that hasn't died yet somehow.

Then there's "You Broke Me First" by Tate McRae which got a boost off the back of streaming to jump two places to number eight because we need a third rate Billie Eilish knock off in the top ten right now...

Down one to number nine is "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S because this song is bleeding on streaming right now. I can see this leaving the top ten next week.

Finally up four places to number ten is Jason Derulo's "Take You Dancing"...so Jawsh 685 has revived Jason Derulo's music career...great...

Gains

So there was one major gain this week that being for "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac which rose from 39 to a new peak of 14, it has now out peaked its original 1977 run on the charts, it's also a fair chance to go top ten next week which would be fantastic however it's rise also meant that combined with the new entries mostly everything else got pushed back.


Re-Entries

Just one return this week with "Ice Cream" by Blackpink feat Selena Gomez returning at number 49 off the back of the debut album from Blackpink debuting at number two.

Losers

The biggest fall this week belong unsurprisingly to 'Franchise" by Travis Scott feat. Young Thug and M.I.A as it tumbled from 31 to 44 this week. 

"Heather" by Conan Gray got the skids down from 33 to 40 while "Wishing Well" by Juice WRLD dropped six places to 50.

"Popstar" by DJ Khaled and Drake slipped nine places to 35 this week as did "Mood Swings" by Pop Smoke to 28.

"Rockstar" by Dababy feat. Roddy Ricch wen down six places to 17.


Drop Outs

Some massive hits this year like "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa, "Adore You" by Harry Styles, "Rover" S1mba feat. DTG and "Stuck with U" by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber are all gone and all guaranteed of making the year end list for 2020

Unfortunately "Diamonds by Smith is also gone but it took "Mad at Disney" by Salem Ilese with it. Disappointed for Sam as "Diamonds" is one of their best songs to date.


New Entries

So the biggest new arrival of the week is from Pop Smoke who has entered the chart at number eleven with "What You Know Bout Love"...this song is likely battling with "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac for a place in the top ten next week. 

Shawn Mendes album title track "Wonder" is in at number 13. This song looks like it might quietly get big so we'll have to see. 

Now let's deal with the two Blackpink songs that entered the chart this week off the back of the album with "Lovesick Girls" at number 27 and "Bet You Wanna" feat. Cardi B at number 42. I doubt either will stick around but we'll find out in the weeks ahead.

Finally 21 Savage and Metro Boomin's collaboration with Drake called "Mr. Right Now" entered at number 37 and was the only song from "Savage Mode 2" to reach the top 50.

That wraps up a pretty busy week. Next week, all eyes on the top ten to see what could make a move in given the weakness around the lower half of the top ten right now, new entries possibly from Bebe Rexha working with Doja Cat and maybe a new entry from AC/DC...we'll find out on Saturday at 5pm AEDT
