A rather busy week that heralded the exit of most of the Adele album bomb and the arrival of Christmas music which we will get too shortly but first, let's get to our top ten where of course "Easy On Me" by Adele holds on to number one for another week as it rules on streaming and doing okay on sales.
Rebounding one place to number two is "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa because it's pretty much consistent across the board, the same goes for "Stay" by The Kid Laroi feat. Justin Bieber despite slipping one place to number 3.
Now I am hoping this is a novelty because rising thirteen places to number four is 'abcdefu" by GAYLE...this song isn't good...I don't want to see this becoming a hit.
"Shivers" held steady at number five while "Bad Habits" climbed one spot to number six both by Ed Sheeran.
This is most likely because "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor's Swift down five to number seven as interest fades post "Red (Taylor's Version)" being released.
"Heat Waves" by Glass Animals and "Industry Baby" by Lil Nas X feat. Jack Harlow held steady at numbers eight and nine respectively.
Wrapping up the top ten down four places to number ten is "Oh My God' by Adele.
Gains.
So I mentioned "abcdefu" by Gayle up thirteen to number four already but there have been A LOT of gains (I'm only covering seven places gains plus this week)...mostly older songs regaining ground with "Dreams" by Jolyon Petch rebounding eight to 34, "Acapulco" by Jason Derulo up eleven to 33 and "Missing Piece" by Vance Joy moving up seven to 32.
"Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by Lil Nas X called up seven to 31 while Doja Cat's new single from "Planet Her"...'Woman" climbed seven to 30 (I'm really disappointed because "Woman" is not a good song).
In better news "My Universe" by Coldplay feat. BTS climbed seven to 27, the longer it hangs around the more confident I feel it might make the year end...I really like this one.
Finally "Enemy" by Imagine Dragons was the biggest gain of the week is up 15 to 20 because of course it is...yuck.
Re Entries
"Mr Brightside" by The Killers is back number 50 which is frustrating but fine however I'm not happy that "Out Out" by Joel Corry, Jax Jones, Charli XCX feat. Saweetie is back at 48 or that "Fancy Like" by Walker Hayes returned at 47 or that "A OK" by Tai Verdes returned at 46...none of these three songs are any good...I can only hope the oncoming onslaught of Christmas music pitches them out of the chart PERMANENTLY.
Christmas re entries
I am putting the return of Christmas music into a separate category. Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returns at 18, "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas" by Michael Buble re enters at 35 and "Last Christmas" by Wham returns at number 41.
Losers
ALL the big losers this week came from the Adele album bomb with "Can I Get It" dropping 25 to 40, "My Little Love" to 39 and "I Drink Wine" to 26
Drop Outs
Taylor Swift saw both "Run (Taylor's Version)" feat. Ed Sheeran and "Enchanted' dropping out. The rest of the drop outs were album tracks from Adele's "30" and "Rolling in the Deep"
New Entries
Just the one new entry this week so let's talk about...
49. "Flowers (Say My Name)" by ArrDee
Okay so ArrDee is a British rapper, he rose to prominence on a remix of "Body" by Russ Millions and Tion Wayne with this song being his first solo single to hit the ARIA singles chart and well, I hate this but I like it, yeah, ArrDee is absolutely being an asshole but he makes the song hilarious and fun with some of the more ridiculous lines about not bringing this girl flowers but give her a good time between the sheets instead. The song makes an inspired use of a sample of a UK garage classic by Sweet Female Attitude's "Flowers" and Destiny Child's "Say My Name" with ArrDee being able to juxtapose the songs away from your bog standard love song into a song that is purely about getting sex...yeah this was good fun...check it out.
That wraps up our week, next week might see ourlast blast of the year from major releases likely from Shawn Mendes and SZA but we'll find out when the chart updates on Friday at 5pm.
