So this was actually a pretty husy week even despite just one new entry this week and I was kind of expecting a slow week given there doesn't really appear to be too many big releases set to shake up the chart any time soon but anyway there were some shifts in the top ten just not at the very top where for a sixteenth week, "Stay" by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber holds the number one spot thanks to streaming because sales have dropped this song lately.
"Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa held steady at number two while a song that was touted for a run at number one "abcdefu" by Gayle seems like it's run at the top is done...yeah it's got sales but streaming isn't anywhere near what it should be for a run at the top spot.
Then there's the stubborn hold of "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals at number...can this song just magically somehow fuck off already?
Then there's the seven place gain for "Where Are You Now" by Lost Frequencies feat. Calium Scott...apparently people like this song enough for it to be a top five hit...uhh okay...
Streaming gains helped "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by The Cast of Encanto move up five places to number six, I suspext this is heading for the number one spot but we'll see.
Then we have "Shivers" and "Bad Habits" both by Ed Sheeran holding their places at seven and eight respectively. Ed's got a new single on the way from "=" called "The Joker and The Queen" with rumours that Taylor Swift is featured on a remix of the song.
Anyway all of that pushed "Industry Baby" by Lil Nas X feat. Jack Harlow down three places to number nine.
Joining the top ten for the first time and I am pissed to see this song here, "Down Under" by Luude feat Colin Hay up ro number ten. Why are we making this atrocious remix of a great song a thing?
Gains
The gains this week are on the disappointing side for one thing I am not sure why anyone wants junk like "Pushin' P" by Gunna anf Future feat Young Thug up fifteen spots to 21, seriously?
"Light Switch" by Charlie Puth is into the top twenty up four places to 20 but it also dragged "The Motto" by Tiesto feat. Ava Max up six to 25.
At least, "Lost" by Frank Ocean rose eight to 33 and "Oh My God" by Adele rebounded eight to 35.
Re-Entries
The only re-entry this week is "Without You" by The Kid Laroi with Miley Cyrus at 50.
Losers
Not too mad that "Need to Know" by Doja Cat fell six places to 46 however The Wiggles did fall off their big debut hard as expected this week with "Elephant (Triple J Like A Version)" down a whopping thirty eight spots to 48 and I am really disappointed about that one!
:"Drivers License" by Olivia Rodrigo fell ten to 38, "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" by Lil Nas X slipped seven places to 36 and "On My Knees" by Rufus Du Sol down seven to 29.
"Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish slipped six to 22.
There were two songs that fell out of the top ten with "Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo down five to 14 and "Do It To It" by Acraze feat. Cherish down five to 11.
Drop outs.
Just the two drop outs this week with "I Am Woman" by Emmy Meli and "Lots of Nothing" by Spacey Jane (Yes, I am disappointed by that latter drop out)
New Entries
Just the one new entry this week, let's look at...
44. "The Family Madrigal" by The Cast of Encanto
It was only a matter of time before we got another song from Encanto turn up on the chart and honestly I've become mostly ambivalent toward songs from Encanto mostly because they are fine but without the context of the film, they make very little sense even if they are catchy enough to catch on and this song kind of has the same issues as "We Don't Talk About Bruno" in terms of it having any kind of context outside the film but the song acts as an introduction to the Madrigal family who are the basis of the film. Again, it's catchy but I'm not sure I'll be coming back to it.
And that wraps up the week, next week could be an interesting one so we'll see when the chart updates on Friday at 5pm AEDST
