Ugh...the top ten or at least most of the top half of it makes me want to cringe this week and not for good reasons. The remix game finally hit the Australian charts in a big way this week and it starts right at the very top as we have a new number one that being "Without You" by The Kid Laroi which got the top thanks to streaming ff the back of a new remix featuring Miley Cyrus (ARIA haven't credited Miley's role though) which helped the song to surpass it's competition, I don't think it's a particularly strong number one though as lying in wait, rising three places to number two is "Kiss Me More" by Doja Cat feat SZA, it's just a matter of time before this song takes the top spot as it's got streaming and a bit of a sales presence.
What caught me off guard was the sudden big eighteen place rise for "Body" by Russ Millions feat. Tion Wayne at number three because like "Without You", it got a remix with a whole slew of other people that got wind on streaming and therefore meant it rocketed up the ARIA singles chart this week...sadly...the song is not good.
All of this saw "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by Lil Nas X slip three places to number four as streaming and sales slowed down, the same goes for "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals down three to number five as it's slowly but surely on the way out now while "Peaches" by Justin Bieber feat. Daniel Caesar and Giveon plunged three places to number six as streaming stalled this week.
"Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd lost all it's momentum from the Ariana Grande remix down three to number seven while "Astronaut In the Ocean" by Masked Wolf fell two places to number eight although this got a remix with G Eazy so expect a boost for this next week unfortunately.
Then we have a new entry at number nine, "Your Power" by Billie Eilish, it's got passable sales and streaming but like most Billie Eilish songs, this might well fall away quickly.
Finally falling three places to number ten is "Rapstar" by Polo G because for some reason streaming has just started to bleed for this song already.
Gains
So I already talked about the big gains for "Body" by Russ Millions and Tion Wayne up 18 to number three however there was an album related boost for Amy Shark's "Love Songs Ain't For Us" feat. Keith Urban as it rose 14 places to 22 while "Runaway" by Aurora is up five off it's debut last week to 30.
Re Entries
Just one return this week that being "Mr Brightside" by The Killers back at number 50, this song has traction on streaming somehow...folks, we could have given this traction to "Caution" or "My Soul's Own Warning" from that last The Killers album which was pretty darn great.
Losers
Not too many major losers this week, "Anyone" by Justin Bieber is down six to 36 while "Deja Vu" by Olivia Rodrigo fell four places to number 13 and "The Business" by Tiesto slopped four places to number 12.
Drop outs
Not complaining about the drop outs here with "Mr Perfectly Fine (Taylor's Version)" and "Bang!" by AJR both gone and in the the latter's case...good fucking riddance.ar
New Entries
Just the one new entry this week.
9. "Your Power" by Billie Eilish
I've already written about this song at length so what I will say here though is this song is one of the best of the year so far, if you want to read what I have to say than click the following link: Review of "Your Power" by Billie Eilish,
And that wraps up a pretty short week, next week could see Pink and Coldplay with new songs on the chart this week but we'll have to see when the chart updates at 5pm AEST on Friday
