So full confession, this would have been done sooner had the charrt been interesting this week...well okay maybe the top half is still incredibly dull but at least we did get a new song in the top ten...it's not a good song but still it's a change to the top ten so let's dive straight in where for a tenth week "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals rules the chart.but it's starting to waver a bit particularly on streaming, it's really waiting for something to be strong enough to knock it off.
"Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran returns to number twi likely off the back of a boost following the Australian tour announcement as I don't see this lasting which means there's every possibility that "Stay" by The Kid Laroi feat.Justin Bieber rebounds to number two next week after it got pushed back to number three this week.
Same goes for "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa which slipped one to number four.
Then there's "Shovers" by Ed Sheeran which basically got the boost that "Bad Habits" did as it rose two spots to number five.
It was enough to push down the song that's performing well on sales which is "Where Are You Now" by Lost Frequencies feat. Calum Scott back to number six, Mostly because it's performance on Spotify is not matching that of songs of above it.
This is also the case for "abcdefu" by Gayle which is .losing strength right across the board, it's probably a song that is weak rnough to exit the top ten in the weeks ahead.
At number eight is "Starlight" by Dave having climbed three spots to seal Dave's first top ten hit in Australia.
It pushed "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by The Cast of Encanto and "That's What I Want" by Lil Nas X back to nine and ten respectively.
Gains
A slew of songs rose two or three places this week, the only song to have a major gain this week was "Say Nothing" by Flume feat.MAY-A which jumped eleven places to 29 but that was about it this week.
Re-Entries
Two returns with one of those being "My Universe" by Coldplay feat. BTS at number 44 while "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran returns at 47 mostly again due to tour announcement.but yeah I do think it's beyond time for recurrency rules on the ARIA singles chart.
Losers
Most of the losers are a case of continued losses with "Surface Pressure" by Jessica Darrow down nine to 39.
"Nail Tech" by Jack Harlow down five to 37 however "Something in the Way" by Nirvana slipped eight places off it's debut to number 30 and Dove Cameron's "Boyfriend took a five place slide to number 25.
Drop Outs.
Four songs fell out this week with the only one I'm disappointed about being "Edamame" by bbno$ and Rich Brian...that song is just plain stupid fun so I'm sad it's gone.
Gowever it took "I'm Tired" by Labrinth and Zendaya, "Missing Piece" by Vance Joy and "To The Moon" by Jnr Choi and I ain't complaining about losing those!
New Entries
40. "Let's Trot!" by Brothers feat. Joel Fletcher
Well this is going to take some explaining...Brothers are a rap duo hailing from Western Sydney, they've teamed up with Joel Fletcher who was last on the charts in 2013 alongside Seany B with a song called "Loco" so I was a bit concerned going into this song and it turns out my concerns were justified because oh man, this song isn't any good. The rap flow is weak and the bars are a homogenous mix of sports references before this squealing annoying breakdown interpersed with "let's fucking trot"
If this is what drill in Australia plans to sound like then fuck it, maybe we were better off with "Body" after all
38. "Maybe" by Machine Gun Kelly feat. Bring Me the Horizon.
So Machine Gun Kelly released "Mainstream Sellout" on Friday and I'll say it now...it's a mess of an album but luckily we did get one of the better songs from it on the singles chart this week with the song dipping into the darkness that seems to embody a lot of the album as MGK and BMTH frontman Oli Sykes contemplate letting this other person go over roaring guitars and Sykes actually screaming during the middle section of the song. All up, I don't mind this.
And really it's the best of the week with "Let's Trot" by Brothers feat. Joel Fletcher taking the worst.
Next week could be a quiet one so we'll have to see when the chart updates on Friday at 5pm AEDST
