So we have a pretty strange week here, mostly because the Christmas songs didn't quite leave the chart yet which led to a strange combination of Christmas music and the non Christmas songs on the chart...that said I expect all the Christmas songs gone next week.
However Christmas being over and the subsequent streaming slowdown meant that "Mood" by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior returned to number one for a tenth week, it's still got just enough streaming and sales to hang on ahead of "Without You" by The Kid Laroi which rebounded two places to number two, it's not got sales and only has Spotify in terms of streaming so I am not sure if this can get to number one (if it doesn't get there...I'm fine with that...the song isn't good).
What might also be a chance is "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry & MNEK which moved back up four places to number three, it's still got some streaming and sales...just needs another push to get it to the top.
Falling off the number one is "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey as Christmas comes to end for another year, it will be gone next week.
What might benefit is "Levitating" by Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby rebounding three places to number five, this song still has plenty of traction on streaming and even some sales still. Nice to see.
Ariana Grande's "Positions" rebounded nine places to number six, its still got streaming but literally no sales.
This is where we get to the biggest gain of the week courtesy of rising FORTY places to number seven, it's Ed Sheeran's loosey single "Afterglow", its a sales behemoth and has respectable sales, I think this might just become a hit thanks to the timing of the release which strikes just enough of a wistful chord with people.
Returning to the top ten is "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd as it jumped five places to number eight thanks mostly to streaming.
The biggest loser within the top ten was "Last Christmas" by Wham which slipped from number two to number nine this week and like "All I want for Christmas is You" above it, it will be gone next week.
Finally up one place is "So Done" by The Kid Laroi to number 10...yay...I guess.
Gains
I already mentioned the gain into the top ten for "Afterglow" by Ed Sheeran but the other gain worth noting was from Glass Animals with "Heat Waves" which rise ten places to 32...that song has had consistent momentum for weeks now...fair chance this could be a hit.
The other gains are rebounds on the back of Christmas music falling away with "One Too Many" by Keith Urban and Pink up fwelve to 46, "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa up nine places to 41, "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I rebounded eleven to 29 (this song got a sixth wind on streaming somehow), "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac rebounded 12 places to 17.
Re Entries
So I am just going to list these because we had five returns so starting from the bottom of the top 50...
49. "How to Make Gravy" by Paul Kelly
47. "Some Say" by Nea
45. "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi (YOU KNOW THIS CAN GO THE FUCK AWAY ANY TIME NOW!)
43. "Holiday" by Lil Nas X (Happy to see this song back)
42. "Send it!" by Hooligan Hefs
Losers
The big losers are mostly all Christmas music with the biggest being "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid plunging from 19 to 34 but beyond Christmas music, there was a drop from 17 to 24 for "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles while "Lemonade" by Internet Money and Gunna feat. Don Toliver and Nav dropping five places to 25.
Drop Outs
All five drop outs this week are Christmas songs.
So with no new entries that wraps up this week's chart update. Next week we'll probably get the new single from Justin Bieber turn up and I am hoping that the new song from SZA turns up (the latter is really damn solid) but we'll find out when the chart updates on Saturday at 5pm AEDT.
Don't forget worst and best lists for 2020 come out next week along with the first episode of "Good 1992 Vibrations" (it's a fun one...trust me)
