So this week was a cool down week and it somewhat played out exactly the way I thought it would a few weeks ago, we have a returning number one and a few easily explained shifts up and down the chart so let's get stuck into it where as I said we have a returning number one in the form of "Mood" by 24k Goldn feat. Iann Dior, it's the song's fifth week at number one and honestly it's an open question as to whether it will get a sixth week at the top because right behind it is last week's number one "positions" by Ariana Grande, it's still got some traction on streaming but I am not certain that it can make a play to return to number one given the new releases coming to the chart next week....oof.
I would say "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry and MNEK is in perfect position to snatch the top spot as it is doing better on digital sales than both songs above it but again with the new releases especially one that's probably going to debut at least top five
That's not the case for "Holy" by Justin Bieber feat Chance The Rapper remaining at number four, its steady on sales but it's not making up ground on the songs ahead of it.
The late Pop Smoke has his first top five hit with "What You Know Bout Love" rising two places to number five thanks to good streaming in the most part because it doesn't have sales traction, it moved past "Lemonade" by Internet Money feat. Gunna, NAV and Don Toliver down one to number six as streaming slowly starts to fade for this song.
We have the first of two new arrivals to the top ten at number seven with "So Done" by The Kid Laroi which off the back of streaming gains and an EP release rose nine places to give The Kid Laroi his first Australian top ten hit...wish the song was actually good though...just saying;
"You Broke Me First" by Tate McRae remains steady at number eight. Kind of annoyed this song is hanging around now but it's safe from "WAP" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion as it fell away naturally down three to number nine, likely gone from top ten next week.
Finally rising one place to join the top ten for the first time is "Levitating" by Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby at number ten. This song will likely make the year end which I am fine with because the original version of this song is one of my favourite songs from "Future Nostalgia"
Gains
The biggest gain of the week belonged to Miley Cyrus with "Midnight Sky" rising from 25 to 12 mostly thanks to the insanely good mash up of it with the song that inspires the melody namely 'Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks...you can argue the mash up is actually pretty damn great to be honest.
There were a lot of gains this week as the Ariana Grande album bomb receded so I am just going to go through a few of the other big gains like for the long running 2019 hits that won't go away like "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi up six places to 32 and "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I up from 43 to 36,
"Rain on Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande jumped from 44 to 38 while "This City" by Sam Fischer rose seven places to 40.
"What's Poppin'" by Jack Harlow rose from 49 to 43,
Re-Entries
Lewis Capaldi is back at number 50 with "Before You Go" but surprisingly that was it.
Losers
Ariana Grande album tracks form the majority of our big losers with "Motive" feat. Doja Cat demotivating down from 19 to 45, "Pov" POQed down from 39 to 47 (this song has some groundswell behind so wouldn't be surprised to see it rise while "34+35" slipped out of the top 10 to 18.
The one non Ariana loser was "My City" by Onefour feat. The Kid Laroi which slipped twenty places to number 48.
Drop Outs
The drop outs are all Ariana Grande album tracks with "Off The table" feat. The Weeknd, "Safety Net" feat. Ty Dolla $ign, "Just Like Magic" and "Shut Up" all gone and probably won't be back.
New Entries
Three new entries with two of them being from The Kid Laroi thanks to the EP with "Always Do" at 37 and "Tragic" at 41 while "Lasting Lover" by Sigala and James Arthur turns up at 46 (a song I actually don't mind).
