So we got a quiet week again with two new entries that hit below the top twenty five and some scattered movement through the rest of the chart before the big disruptions over the rest of the year as artists race to get new music out in time for Christmas. Anyway let's get to the top ten because for a fourteenth week, it's "Stay" by The Kid Laroi feat. Justin Bieber remains at number one and it looks like this week might be the song's final week at number one with Adele turning up next week to likely take top spot because there's no way now that "Stay" could possibly match the outrageous streaming numbers Adele is already posting.
Adele's arrival next week also likely means the chances of "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa , this week stuck at number two, getting to number one are also remote because it has less streaming than "Stay", sales can only do so much.
"Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran is steady and at number three while his other single "Shivers" actually moved up one to number four. I am not ruling these two songs out from getting number one just yet given Ed Sheeran's latest album is still to come.
"Shivers' pushed "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals back to number five as it finally starts to lose traction on streaming...dear god...can we be done with this song once and for all?
"Inidustry Baby" by Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow remains at number six then there's the two place gain for "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish to number seven which I am absolutely thrilled about...love seeing this doing well.
It pushed "That's What I Want" by Lil Nas X back one to number eight and "love nwantiti" by Ckay back to number nine.
Rounding out the top ten is 'Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo at number ten and will likely be the song that exits top ten next week
Gains
So "Love Tonight" by Shouse picked up eleven places to number 22 while "Peaches" by Justin Bieber feat. Daniel Caesar and Giveon rebounded seven places to 32 and "Alone With You" by Arz up six spots to 43.
Unfortunately bad songs also rose with "Out Out Out" by Joel Corry, Jax Jones, Charli XCX and Saweetie climbed eight to 42 and traction for "Life Goes On" by Oliver Tree climbed seven to 34
Losers
Not much to say here on the losers front either with 'Hurricane" by Kanye West feat. Lil Baby and The Weeknd slipped seven places to 47 while "Obsessed with You" by Central Cee slumped seven places to 37
Drop Outs
"Friday" by Riton and Nightcrawlers feat. Mufasa and Hyperman dropped out having safely secured it's place on the year end list for 2021 taking with it "Dry" by Rancid Eddie because the streaming momentum died in days.
New Entries
Two new entries this week, let's begin with...
49. "Money" by Lisa
So Lisa is the latest rapper/singer from Blackpink to go solo with this being her latest single and it getting traction from the current Netflix hit of the moment 'Squid Game" and wow, this might be lowkey awful, a pretty standard generic song about spending money where the problems with production, the pile up of noises to approximate money in cash registers and that awful long trumpet note at the beginning that made me think that this was 2015 Jason DeRulo or Fifth Harmony and that somebody had pressed all the buttons on the trumpet at once and it's not even mixed properly to sound good here.
This will be a hit because of the show it's associated with...nothing else...
28. "Ghost" by Justin Bieber
Should have expected another single from "Justice" but this time around, it's probably the best choice of single from the album that the record label have made even if you do have to point out that Bieber is still being beyond clingy and if the song was given to a more interesting artist than Justin Bieber then we might have got something excellent but yeah the song as it is still well executed and Bieber is delivering the lyrics with some passion and intensity that I've not heard in recent material...he is normally very easy to ignore which isn't the case here and considering it's competition this week...yeah, this is still good.
It gets the best of the week this week, no question about it. There's also no contest for worst of the week with "Money" by Lisa taking that.
Next week...Adele likely debuts at number one, we'll find out when the chart updates at 5pm AEDT on Friday.
