This week is a remarkable one, we have a week where there several stories worth attention here, one being the return to the top 50 of an iconic 70s classic, a new talent rising to the top ten and a new number one so there is plenty to get to here so first up let's tackle the matter of our top ten and the new number one that being "Mood" by 24k Goldn and Iann Dior, it got to number one thanks mostly to streaming and a sales advantage of it's closest competitor. I for one couldn't be happier this has finally got to the top of the singles chart, it's a damn great song.
Former chart topper "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion fell back to number two as it just couldn't go with "Mood" on streaming, it also lost a lot of traction on sales as well which didn't help it's cause but it remained comfortably ahead of "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry feat MNEK which while it's doing better than the top two on sales but it just doesn't quite have the streaming to match the top two just yet.
Consistent streaming and sales kept "Holy" by Justin Bieber feat. Chance the Rapper at number four somehow. I really want to see this song gone sooner rather than later.
Now what might stick around bit longer is "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason DeRulo, which remained at number five however a remix with BTS was released on Friday which means this song could rebound. The remix isn't great at all either.
Then we have a slew of songs that benefitted from the collapse of "One Too Many" by Keith Urban and Pink to number 19 like "Lemonade" by Internet Money and Gunna feat. Don Toliver and NAV up one place to number six, "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles up one to number seven and "Breaking Me" by Topic feat. A7S also up one to number eight.
Saint Jhn returns to the top ten up three places to number 9 with "Roses". Seriously, I thought we were done with this whiff of a song.
Finally in a first Australian top ten for this artist, "You Broke Me First" by Tate McRae is at number ten having rose four places, this song has traction is probably going to stay in the top ten even if it's just really pale attempted imitation of sound that Billie Eilish has done better.
Gains
So the gains are a bit all over the place here but "Ain't It Different" by Headie One feat. AJ Tracey and Stormzy continues to be a hit in the making as rose from 29 to 16 this week. (I wish it didn't sample "Butterfly" by Crazy Town but that's another story entirely);
Ritt Momney's "Put Your Records On" continues to be a thing by climbing fourteen places to number 20. This song is going to stick around and be a hit for some bizarre reason, I don't like the production on this thing.
Machine Gun Kelly's "My Ex's Best Friend" feat. Blackbear rose from 35 to 22 following the release of MGK's album "Tickets to My Downfall", an album that has surprisingly divided opinion. I actually think the album is a lot of fun and worth checking out.
Re Entries
Here's the other big story for this week, thanks to a Tik Tok meme going viral, Fleetwood Mac's 1977 single "Dreams" is on the ARIA singles chart at number 39. It peaked at number 19 on the Kent Music Report chart during it's original chart run back in 1977 and didn't make the year end list for that year so yeah it would be awesome if we did make this song a hit in 2020 and give Fleetwood Mac the hit they kind of never really had in Australia apart from "Tusk"
Losers
So I already mentioned the unsurprising fall of "One Too Many" by Keith Urban and Pink to 19 so outside of that "Popstar" by DJ Khaled and Drake fell five places to 26 while "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande also fell five to 29 and "Heather" by Conan Gray dropped from 27 to 33 this week.
A little disappointing was the five place fall of "Kings & Queens" by Ava Max to 37 as the hype dies for that album of hers.
Drop Outs
Two reasonably big drop outs with "The Woo" by Pop Smoke and "Smile" by Juice WRLD and The Weeknd both gone, they took "OK not be OK" by Marshmello and Demi Lovato and "Ice Cream" by Blackpink and Selena Gomez with them, although the latter is likely to be back next week given the release of that Blackpink album on Friday.
New Entries
Three new entries this week with Travis Scott teaming up with Young Thug and M.I.A for the highest new entry of the week with "Franchise" at number 31. I am not sure about the longevity of this one just yet.
Same could could said for Sam Smith's 'Diamonds" in at number 46. Would love to see this become a hit because it is the best new song of the week.
Salem Ilese has her first charting hit with "Mad At Disney" debuting at 50, I expect this one to stick around unfortunately.
That ends quite the bizarre and actually...kind of good week. Next week probably will see some Blackpink with the return of "Ice Cream" and How You Like That" along with the collab with Cardi B, hopefully one or two songs off that shockingly really good "Savage Mode 2" by 21 Savage and Metro Boomin'. Shawn Mendes also returned with a new single which is likely also chart. We'll find out on Saturday at 5pm AEDT
