ARIA Singles Top Ten/Chart Review: 26th October. Lonely Levitating Proves it CAN levitate

 So here we have another quiet week on the ARIA singles chart which I am grateful for considering the album bomb that is coming from Ariana Grande in two weeks time...not to mention the impact she might well make next week with her new single but that's all ahead of us next week, let's stick to this week and the current top ten where right at the very top is "Mood" by24k Goldn and Ian Diorr which spends a fourth week at number one and really while it's dependent on the numbers "positions" by Ariana Grande does this week, I'm confident "Mood" will get another week at the top given "positions" really has underwhelmed on both streaming and sales in it's first full days since it's release on Friday afternoon...got to wonder if people are feeling the burnout with Ariana Grande...

Anyway, we finally saw change at number two with "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry and MNEK which gained on both sales and streaming to climb to number two, it pushed past "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion which has just lost sales in a big way and finally started to bleed on streaming to slip to number three.

Its coming under threat unfortunately from "Holy" by Justin Bieber feat. Chance The Rapper which climbed one spot to number four, it took advantage of "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac starting to show signs of losing some of that virality as it slipped one place to number five.

All that saw "Lemonade" by Internet Money and Gunna feat. NAV and Don Toliver remain steady at uumber six as all this song has is streaming.

Speaking of just having streaming its pretty much the same for Pop Smoke's "What You Know Bout Love" which rose one place to number seven, it did push back "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo to number eight as it is fading naturally. 

Tate McRae remains at number nine with "You Broke Me First" while spending it's first week inside the top ten unfortunately is "Put Your Records On" by Ritt Momney and most likely ensuring it's a candidate for my worst list.

Gains

So there really only is one gain worth talking about here and fortunately it's on the good side with "Levitating" by Dua Lipa feat DaBaby which went up from 35 to 22 this week. ARIA corrected the error from last week and credited the DaBaby remix thank goodness but this looks like being a hit as it has solid momentum on both streaming and sales which for me is a nightmare as there are already three other Dua Lipa songs in contention for best list.

Re-Entries

We got two really damn good songs back in the top 50, "Adore You" by Harry Stylrs at 48 and "Be Kind" by Marshmello feat. Halsey at 49

Losers

Like the gains, here's not much worth mentioning here with the biggest loser being "Together" by Sia down five to 41.

Drop Outs

Three songs gone are "Mr Right Now" by 21 Savage and Metro Boomin feat. Drake, "Franchise" by Travis Scott feat. Young Thug and Drake and "Ride It" by Regard.


New Entry

Just the one new entry courtesy of Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco who have teamed up for "Lonely" at number 14, it's legit the best song Justin Bieber has done in awhile in that's just decent rather than mediocre or terrible.

So that wraps up a pretty quiet week...next week, Ariana Grande arrives with "positions" and honestly I am not sure it's in the fight for the number one spot based on the numbers so we'll see what happens when the chart updates at 5pm on Saturday.
