ARIA Singles Top 50 Top Ten/Chart Review: 20th December. Wandered To the Jingle Bell Rock To Do It to the Top Ten

 Welp, the Christmas slow down has started because this week was kind of slow with just one new entry but we'll get to all that after we deal with the top ten where "Cold Heart (PNAU remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa kept the number one for a fourth week but its most likely going to lose the number one next week.

The challenge probably won't come from "abcdefu" by GAYLE despite it climbing two places to number two...it's challenge for number one might come in the new year.

"Stay" by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber remained steady at number three despite a solid presence still on streaming. 

Meanwhile "Easy on Me" by Adele slipped back two places to number four as the song starts fading on streaming. 'Heat Waves' by Glass Animals held steady at number five (can this song just...fuck off already? Geezus)

"Bad Habits" remains at six and "Shivers" stuck at seven both for Ed Sheeran while "All I Want For Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey stuck at number eight (This will go to number one either next week or the week after, it's just taking it's sweet time).

Spending it's first week inside the top ten is "Do It To It" by Acraze feat. Cherish climbing to two places to hit number nine. 

Clinging onto it's place in the top ten is 'Industry Baby" by Lil Nas X feat. Jack Harlow remaining at number ten. 

Gains

Christmas music continued it's big gains this week with 'Last Christmas" by Wham up six places to number 12, "Santa Tell Me" by Ariana Grande jumped ten to 21 and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee rocked up the chart fifteen to 34.

SZA's "I Hate You" climbed three places to number 16 while "Where Are You Now" by Lost Frequencies and Calum Scot climbed nine spots to break into the top twenty at 17.

Unforunately "Enemy" by Imagine Dragons feat. J.I.D also broke into the top twenty jumping four spots to 18. 

"I Am Woman' by Emmy Meli got a fifteen place boost to 28. 


Christmas Re Entries

:"Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms returns at number 39


Losers

"Drivers License" by Olivia Rodrigo slipped eight places  to 45 while "Without You" by The Kid Laroi feat. Miley Cyrus slipped ten places to 43. 

"Smokin' Out the Window" by Silk Sonic fell six places to 38 while "Oh My God" by Adele fell ten spots to 31. 

"One Right Now" by Post Malone and The Weeknd tumbled six spots to 23 (Kind of wondering if this song is kind of forgettable for the general public tbh)


Drop Outs

Both drop outs are safe on the year end for 2021 with "The Business" by Tiesto and "Astronaut in the Ocean" by Masked Wolf.


New Entries

Just the one new entry this week and unfortunately we have to deal with...

44. "Wandered to LA" by Juice WRLD feat. Justin Bieber

I am going to keep this short and sweet..this is just really medicre cut that was originally created in 2018 and I doubt that Juice WRLD would have wanted to work with Justin Bieber and yet another sign that people are more than willing to suck whatever money they can out of Juice WRLD's grave. Bieber is too loud in the mix in contrast to Juice WRLD who is weirdly pushed back in the mix. Yeah, somebody's wanting coin out of this crap. It's not good.

That wraps up the week. Just two weeks remaining in the chart year, don't forget final episode of Good 1992 Vibrations coming up on Monday and the week after year end best and worst hit songs lists for 1992, the best and worst list hit songs lists for 2021 will be coming some time in the new year, don't worry. 

ARIA chart updates at 5pm AEDT on Friday.
