ARIA Singles Top Ten/Chart Review: 19th October. Dreams of top five for Fleetwood Mac has me Levitating

 We got a pretty quiet week here, folks, yes, we got some expected shifts in the top ten but we only got the one new entry (considering New Music Friday was quiet for this chart week...not overly surprising) but let's get stuck into the top ten where I'm happy to say "Mood" by 24kGoldn feat. Iann Diorr spends a third week at number one and right now it's dominating on streaming and while it's not dominant on sales, it looks comfortable at number one for now.

This leaves "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion stuck at number two, it's sales are dying in slow motion and it just hasn't got the streaming to match "Mood" anymore however it was enough to keep it ahead of "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry and MNEK at number three which yes is doing much better than the top two on sales, it just doesn't quite have the streaming to challenge either right now which is a shame because I think the song deserves a week or two at number one.

This takes us to..."Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac rising ten places to NUMBER FOUR, this song is not done yet either, it's got decent sales and a surge on streaming, this is staying in the top ten for at least another couple of week.s

It caused both "Holy" by Justin Bieber feat. Chance the Rapper to stay at number five and "Lemonade" by Internet Money and Gunna feat. Don Toliver and NAV to remain glued at number six.

"Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 feat. Jason DeRulo fell three places to number seven, hopefully this song is allowed to now go away...the discourse around this song is getting uglier than the discourse over "WAP"

Breaking into the top ten is "What You Know Bout Love" by Pop Smoke up three spots to number eight, streaming lovers this song so expect this to stick around in the top ten for a bit.

Tate McRae's "You Broke Me First" dropped one place to number nine, this song has streaming so this won't be leaving the top ten while "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles looks to finally be set to leave the top ten down three places to number ten.


Gains

I already mentioned the big gain for "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac up ten spots to number four but what also gained well this week is Ritt Momney's cover of "Put Your Records On" up six to number 12...this is probably going to replace "Watermelon Sugar" in the top ten next week and no, that is not a win.

"This City" by Sam Fischer recovered up from 45 to 38 this week but apart from those the gains were mostly one or two place gains.

Re-Entries

Good news on return front with "Diamonds" by Sam Smith back at number 48, it brought "Ride It" by Regard back at number 50 with it which is kind of odd...

Losers

Much like our gains, there just isn't much in the way of big losers. "Mr Right Now" by 21 Savage and Metro Boomin' feat Drake slipped from 39 to 44 while 'Roses" by Saint Jhn dropped five places to 17

Drop Outs

All three drop outs this week are from Blackpink with "Lovesick Girls", "Bet You Wanna" feat. Cardi B (actually thought that one had a chance of sticking around given Cardi B's success with "WAP" this year) and "Ice Cream" feat. Selena Gomez all gone.

New Entry

Our one new entry is from Dua Lipa with "Levitating" at number 35 however it seems like ARIA have accredited Blessed Madonna remix feat. Madonna and Missy Elliott as the reason for the song charting when it probably should have been the remix with Dababy that got the credit. I'm fine with the song being here though as the album version is fantastic. 

Next week...another new song from Justin Bieber this time with Benny Blanco and maybe a return for a Guy Sebastian song or two off the back of the release of his album but it could be the last pretty quiet week for awhile rumours of Drake, Ariana Grande (Ariana's confirmed to drop her album on October 30th) and even Adele dropping new albums in the next weeks so things are about to get wild. We'll find out if Fleetwood Mac can go any higher when the chart updates on Saturday at 5pm
