A fairly standard week here which I will take given next week is likely going to have a lot of chaos and disruption around it thanks to BTS and collabs by Miley Cyrus with Dua Lipa and Shawn Mendes with Justin Bieber coming but let's get right to it starting with our top ten where "Mood" by 24kGoldn feat. Iann Dior rules at number one for a sixth week thanks mostly to just purely consistent streaming because it's not dominant on any platform right now.
The song that spent the week mostly dominant on streaming was "positions" by Ariana Grande, I was sure this was going to return to number one but it effectively doesn't really have the sales to match or surpass "Mood".
There's a new entry at number three this week courtesy of Billie Eilish with "Therefore I Am". Good sales and streaming but not enough to topple either "Mood" or "positions" but it did push "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry feat. MNEK back to number four. It feels like "Head & Heart" has been trying to launch a run at number one for the last few weeks with it taking a lead on Apple Music for a couple of days last week.
"Holy" by Justin Bieber feat. Chance The Rapper slipped back one place to number five, its a monster on sales still and it's streaming is holding up a little better than those behind it.
Rising one place to number six is "So Done" by The Kid Laroi because yeah we need a pretty god damn awful song in the top ten for some bizarre reason.
Speaking of rubbish rising that would explain why "You Broke Me First" by Tate McRae also climbed one place to number seven. Like "So Done", this song still has some streaming so we've not seen the last of this song in the top tenn.
In good news, "Levitating" by Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby gained two places to number eight and it's got traction on streaming and on sales so we'll have to see what happens. Hopefully we can get four Dua Lipa songs from "Future Nostalgia" on the Australian year end chart.
All this was because "What You Know about Love" by Pop Smoke which fell back four places to number nine as this song is only hanging on via streaming that doesn't quite ready to die yet, the same goes for "Lemonade" by Internet Money and Gunna feat. BAV and Don Toliver which also fell four places to number ten as streaming slowed up.
Gains
The gains this week aren't exactly bundles of good news here.Okay, I'll give a pass to Ariana Grande's "POV" which rebounded from 47 to 29 ( I do not get why "34+35" is the single when its clear that "POV" is the song that Ariana fans love from "positions") as I do like that song but the other two major gains are questionable at best.."Lasting Lover" by Sigala and James Arthur rose 16 places to 30, "My City" by OneFour feat. The Kid Laroi jumped from 48 to 35 (OneFour released an EP which explains the rebound of this song).
Re-Entries
There is one return this week courtesy of James Arthur's "Train Wreck" back at number 50...lovely...
Losers
There's more bad news in our losers with "Forever After All" by Luke Combs took an eleven place hit to 42, and "Diamonds" by Sam Smith down ten to 44.
Drop Outs
Two of the four drop outs are likely assured of places on the year end list with "Rain on Me": by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande and "This Ciry" by Sam Fischer both gone.
Ariana Grande's "Motive" feat Doja Cat is also gone taking with it 'Tragic" by The Kid Laroi.
New Entries
There are two other new entries aside from "Therefore I Am" by Billie Eilish with Tones and I's "Fly Away" in at 21 and American rapper CJ's pretty terrible "Whoopty" arriving at 41.
So that wraps up this week...next week is going to be pretty damn wild this BTS and the two collabs I mentioned so we'll have to see what happens and how all tha shakes up the chart at 5pm AEDT on Saturday
