Well this week was definitely a cool down week but we got plenty of movement as well which might say something about what has staying power with the eyes of the public and right now it seems like all anyone wants to do is listen to "Sour" by Olivia Rodrigo because her album bomb receded marginally if that, we even had an album track or two rise which in it's second week is really extraordinary but none the less for a second week, "Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo maintains the top spot as it has a ridiculous margin on streaming that unless streaming for this song completely collapses, this song is assured of number one for a couple of weeks which for a pop/rock song on the charts these days is wild.
That kind of leaves "Kiss Me More" by Doja Cat & SZA in an awkward spot because while streaming still loves it, its sales have been wobbling so we'll have to see what happens with this song, I'm not sure it's going to be the one to catch "Good 4 U"
That challenge won't come from "Deja Vu" by Olivia Rodrigo which remained at number three and is holding onto it's gains rather impressively and could challenge for number two even if it's not really gaining on "Good 4 U"
What won't be challenging is "Body" by Russ Millions and Tion Wayne which slipped two places to number four.
Rising two places to number five is "Traitor" by Olivia Rodrigo...mostly due to solid as hell streaming while The Weeknd rebounded ten places to number six with "Save Your Tears" thanks to a small boost on streaming.
All this pushed "Drivers License" by Olivia Rodrigo back two places to number seven and "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals back one place to number eight.
"Astronaut In the Ocean" by Masked Wolf slipped one place back to number nine as streaming finally starts to ebb away ( thank fucking god) while "Levitating" by Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby returns to the top ten up one to number ten
Gains
Unfortunately our big gains came from two of the worst tracks that debuted last week that being "Rasputin" by Majestic and Boney M up ten places to 37 and "Build a Bitch" by Bella Poarch up eight to 28 because somehow this song has viral momentum...lovely...not.
The other debut from last week to gain was "Missing Piece" by Vance Joy up four places to 44.
Re Entries
So there are two returns this week with the first of them being for Juice WRLD with "Lucid Dreams" because the song got a remix courtesy of Lil Uzi Vert for Juice's recently released anniversary edition of "Goodbye & Good Riddance"
The only other return was "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles at number 50.
Losers
J Cole's "My Life" feat. 21 Savage and Morray slipped 12 places to 45 while "Pride is the Devil" feat. Lil Baby tumbled eight to 36.
Pink's "All I Know So Far" stumbled 10 places to number 49.
"Butter" by BTS slipped eight places to 14 because sales died and it didn't have the streaming to support it staying in the top ten so it got muscled out however we will see if it returns to the top ten with the release of these remixes.
As for the Olivia Rodrigo album bomb? It didn't really recede with "Hope Ur Ok" only slipping two places to 25, "1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back" down three spots to 21, "Enough for You" sliding two to 16, "Brutal" down one to 1. "Jealousy Jealousy" and "Happier" held their ground. at 22 and 15 respectively/
Drop Outs
The drop outs aren't a surprise with "Amari" by J Cole gone following the receding of the "The Off Season" album bomb but it took two rather big hits with it in "So Done" by The Kid Laroi and "Fly Away" by Tones and I.
New Entries
Just the one new entry this week and unfortunately it's...
47. "Little Bit of Love" by Tom Grennan.
2021 appears to be the year of the break through of Tom Grennan, I've been aware of this guy for a few years now, he is a British singer/songwriter who has been around the British music scene for awhile with this song breaching the top ten in the UK before it hit the ARIA singles chart courtesy of digital sales and wow this song sounds overproduced to the point it feels like Grennan is shouting at you and what's worse here is the production sounds confused because on the hook it sounds like its going for a spiritual anthemic vibe that it just can't quite reach to lift the song from being mediocre at best. Pass!
That wraps up the week. Next week, Billie Eilish and maybe something from that Lil Durk and Lil Baby collab..find out at 5pm AEST on Friday when ARIA updates the singles chart.
