So after last week's chaos, the fall out this week felt busy but not to the point where it feels chaotic, want evidence of that? Look at our top ten where "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa spent an eighth week at number one thanks to good sales and streaming however there might a challenge from an old rival soon...I'll explain in a bit.
"abcdefu" by GAYLE remains at number two and honestly I'm not sure about it's prospects of getting to number one, sure it's the sales leader this week but streaming hasn't really taken off for this song in the way that would propel it to the top spot because streaming is the thing both "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" and one other song we'll get to have over it.
Now this where the challenger for number one comes in because at number three is "Stay" by The Kid Laroi feat. Justin Bieber. Thanks to Triple J's Hottest 100 where this song is a contender for the number one spot on that countdown, it could get enough of a streaming boost to return to the top of the ARIA singles chart next week.
Still holding it's postion inside the top ten is 'Heat Waves" by Glass Animals at number four while "Shivers" by Ed Sheeran moved up one to number five pushing "Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran down to number six.
Holding it's place this week is Adele's "Easy On Me" at number seven...I expect this fall out of the top ten in the weeks ahead.
Moving back up to number eight is "Do It To It" by Acraze feat Cherish because junk like this somehow deserves to be in the top ten which probably could also be said of one of two new arrivals to the top ten..."Where Are You Now" by Lost Frequencies feat. Calum Scott up to places to number nine because it's got traction on streaming...lovely...not.
The second of our new arrivals to the top ten is "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by The Cast of Encanto...this song is gaining strength on streaming, I can only see it going higher.
Gains
Ugh. Almost EVERYTHING gained this week as The Weeknd's album bomb last week receded so I am going to going through the songs that gained 7 or more spots this week.
In great news this week, "Edamame" by bbno$ feat. Rich Brian climbed eight spots to 25 this week however I am not so thrilled "The Motto" by Tiesto and Ava Max climbed 16 places to 26 or that "We Run The Night" by Havana Brown rebounded nine places to 39.
Then there's "Acapulco" by Jason Derulo up 10 places to 40...Joy..
Re Entries
There are seven re entries this week beginning with "Drivers License" by Olivia Rodrigo at number 50, "Need to Know" by Doja Cat at number 49, "Love Tonight" by Shouse gets more love back at 47, "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac gets another return at 46, the excellent "Overpass Graffiti" by Ed Sheeran returns at 45 (I want to see this become a hit if that is at all possible) and "Oh My God" by Adele at number 36.
The final re entry is courtesy of the song going viral on Tik Tok with "Lost" by Frank Ocean returning at number 32. It originally peaked at number 46 on the ARIA singles chart in 2013, it was a number five hit in New Zealand years ago. I'd honestly be okay with this is being the latest older song to become a hit.
Losers
So the biggest loser this week was The Weeknd with "Take My Breath" down 29 to 44 and the only surviving album track "Is There Somebody Else" down 15 to 33. The only other loser was "I Hate U" by SZA which slipped four places to 38...kind of disappointed by tha.
Drop Outs
So the rest of "Dawn FM" album tracks from The Weeknd that charted last week dropped out taking "Miserable Man" by David Kushner with it,
New Entries
No new entries this week so that wraps up this week's chart blog. Next week will likely be all about the impact of the Triple J Hottest 100 but we'll find out on Friday when ARIA updates the chart at 5pm
