So again another reasonably quiet week. Yeah we got some moves on the chart but we only got the one new entry so the turnover on the chart this week has been relatively slow...that said if we get an album bomb from DJ Khaled next week then I am not complaining about this week being quiet.
So let's get started with the top ten where nothing changed at the very top with "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by Lil Nas X maintained the number one spot for a second week and honestly it's really only there because it's more consistent on streaming and doing better on sales than its closest rivals.
Speaking of it's closest rivals, the surprise was that "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals rebounded to number stwo as this song got a second wind on streaming, it surpassed "Peaches" by Justin Bieber feat Daniel Caesar and Giveon, mostly because it started to fall back on streaming as "Heat Waves" went ahead of it this week but it's a running battle.
Returning to the top ten is "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd which climbed 15 places to number four thanks to a remix that features Ariana Grande (Most notably wasn't credited by Ariana when the chart was released on Friday). The remix created a streaming surge which saw this song return and that probably won't last.
Rising three places to number five is "Kiss Me More" by Doja Cat feat. SZA...this song is a number one hit in the making, it's getting its ducks in order on streaming, just needs sales to get on board and this will be number one soon...mark my words/
It pushed back "Astronaut in the Ocean" by Masked Wolf down one place to number six as streaming fell back for this...thank goodness, I am pretty well sick of this song.
"Rapstar" by Polo G also fell back three places to number seven, this song is starting to have the feelings of what happened to "Calling My Phone" by Lil Tjay and 6lack earlier this year, Tiesto's "The Business" fell one place to number eight as it's on its way out naturally.
Slipping three places to number nine is "Deja Vu" by Olivia Rodrigo as it lost momentum on streaming this week.
Hanging onto the top ten at number ten is "Without You" by The Kid Laroi but we're not going to see this song leave the top te just yet as it will get a boost from the just released remix that features Miley Cyrus
Gains
So I already mentioned "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd returning to top ten at number four but there was a seven place gain for "Body" by Russ Millions and Tion Wayne up to 21...again,,,we don't need this shit becoming a hit.
Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" refuses to leave the chart as it rose five places to 31 while Amy Shark's "Love Songs Ain't Fir Us" feat. Keith Urban jumped eight places to 36 as it got something of a resurgence on streaming...expect this to get a further boost thanks to the release of Shark's album "Cry Forever"
"Martin & Gina" by Polo G climbed four places to number 42.
Wha
Losers
Only two major losers this week with "Mr Perfectly Fine (Taylor's Version)" continuing to make it's way out of the chart down 12 place to number 45.
"My Head & My Heart" by Ava Max fell down seven places to number 38 (I haven't thought about that song in AGES)
Drop Outs
The lone drop out is "What Other People Say" by Sam Fischer and Demi Lovato....am perfectly fine with that if I am being honest.
New Entries
Just one new entry this week...
35. "Runway" by AURORA
So a 2016 single from Norweigan singer AURORA hits the ARIA singles chart after...of course...it blew up on Tik Tok, so how it is? Honestly, I kind of like this and it probably speaks more effectively during a pandemic now than it did in 2016 given the song is about wanting to escape and get home to family, it's a smart understated some minimalist song that Aurorar wrote when she was 11 or 12 (which given the lyrics is incredibly impressive), it reminds me of a sound that I think Billie Eilish would be impressed by and that's not a bad thing at all. Check this out of you are curious.
No best or worst of the week as we only have the one new entry. As for next week, Billie Eilish and maybe something from that worthless DJ Khaled album but we'll see what happens when the chart updates at 5pm AEST on Friday.
