Well, this week the ARIA singles chart exploded with activity thanks to Taylor Swift releasing her re recording of "Red" and other assorted songs showing up here this week which all up makes for a pretty messy week on the chart overall and with Adele swinging in with an album bomb of her own next week...things are looking pretty interesting especially as there are still songs looking to sure up a place on the year end list that might have had their runs cut short
But anyway let's get to the top ten because we have a brand new number one and the eighth of this artist's career, "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift which rode to number one on the back of streaming. Now it's not clear which version ARIA are crediting as being the number one as there is the original version that was on "Red" and the ten minute version on the re recorded edition of "Red" so we'll wait and see with regard to the crediting (ARIA may have combined both versions regardless) but I'm also not sure that this will keep the number one come next week...
Which brings us to "Easy On Me" by Adele steady at number two. Now I would expect that with the album dropping on Friday that this will return to number and we'll have a meaty chunk of the album on the singles chart next week. Hell, the first quarter of "30" is already on the Spotify daily top 200 songs for Australia.
All of this pushed "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa down two places to number three as it's streaming and sales could not much those above it. The same pretty much goes for "Stay" by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber down to number four.
Also getting knocked back one is "Shivers" by Ed Sheeran to number five, "Bad Habits" also by Ed Sheeran to number six and "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals down to number seven as it spends a forty second week in the top ten.
The biggest gainer of the week belongs to Silk Sonic's "Smokin' Out The Window" as it jumped a massive twenty six places to number eight to become Silk Sonic's highest charting single in Australia surpassing "Leave the Door Open' which debuted and peaked at number ten (deserved better...we be knew to quote the stans)
This pushed "Indistry Baby" by Lil Nss X feat. Jack Harlow back two to number nine and "One Right Now" by Post Malone and The Weeknd back to number ten.
Gains
I already mentioned "Smokin' Out the Window" by Silk Sonic rising twenty six places to hit the top ten at number eight. The only other gain this week was a one place gain to eleven for "Ghost" by Justin Bieber but that's about it
Re Entries
The album's release saw "Leave the Door Open" by Silk Sonic back at number 41. Nice to see! Just a shame we didn't get more songs from that Silk Sonic album on the chart.
Losses
So what remained of the chart lost this week thanks to Taylor Swift's album bomb so to keep my sanity in check, I am going to go through only the double digit losses. We begin with the 21 place loss to 50 for "A OK" by Tai Verdes while "Knife Talk" by Drake feat. 21 Savage and Project Pat dropped 16 to 49.
"Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac slipped twelve places to 47, "Acapulco" by Jason Derulo plunged 16 to 46 and "Dreams" by Jolyon Petch slumped 16 to 44.
"Love Tonight" by Shouse had it's lights turned off down ten to 42 while "Need to Know" by Doja Cat slithered down ten to 37, "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by Lil Nas X skidded down ten to 36 and "Missing Piece" by Vance Joy plummeted ten to 35.
Drop Outs.
So we have a whole quarter of the chart that fell out this week, I expect some of it to return in the weeks ahead.
Locked on the year end list: "The Business" by Tiesto, "Peaches" by Justin Bieber feat. Daniel Caesar and Giveon, "Little Bit of Love" by Tom Grennan, "2055" by Sleepy Hallow, "Leave Before You Love Me" by Marshmello and Jonas Brothers and "Without You" by The Kid Laroi
Question mark over making year end: "Out Out" by Jax Jones, Joel Corry, Charli XCX feat Saweetie, "Guess I'm In Love" by Clinton Kane, "Take My Breath" by The Weeknd and "Fair Trade" by Drake feat. Travis Scott.
Probably won't make year end and I hope it doesn't: "Fancy Like" by Walker Hayes (THANK YOU TAYLOR!), "Life Goes On" by Oliver Tree and "Way 2 Sexy by Drake feat. Future and Young Thug.
Old song filling up chart space: "Mr Brightside" by The Killers
Definitely won't make year end: "Mafia" and "Escape Plan" by Travis Scott.
