Can I just go back to 1989? Seriously "Lookin' Fine '89" is more interesting then the current day ARIA singles chart, take for example the top ten where for yet another week, "Heatwaves" by Glass Animals remains at number one however there are signs that this could change as it's not completely dominant on sales, streaming or Youtube, it's more likely that Spotify streaming is keeping it at number one.
And from there the top four also remained the same with "Stay" by The Kid Laroi feat. Justin Bieber at number two, "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" at number three and "Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran at number four
Then there's the next likely number one "Where are You Now" by Lost Frequencies and Calum Scott up one place to number five as it leads on sales, is doing well on streaming, I suspect this might challenge for number one soon enough.
It pushed "abcdefu" by Gayle back to number six while "Shivers" held steady at number seven while "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by The Cast of Encanto remains at number eight,
Then we've the two Lil Nas X songs with "That's What I Want" up one place to number nine, it effectively swapped with "Industry Baby" feat Jack Harlow which slipped back to number ten and looks like it might be gone next week
Gains
The biggest gain by far this week is "Starlight" by Dave which climbed twenty four places to number eleven this week and looks like it might well leap into the top ten with the momentum it has on streaming.
"Boyfriend" by Dove Cameron broke into the top twenty up three places to number twenty while "Following the Sun" by SUPER-Hi featuring Neeka rose four places to 23.
Re-Entries
The one re entry that does prove how stale the chart is right now is that of "Love Tonight" by Shouse which come back in at number 47.
Losses
Not really complaining about most of the major ones here when it's considered "To The Moon" by Jnr Choi down eleven to 50 or "I'm Tired" by Labrinth down seventeen to 38...both songs aren't good.
"Surface Pressure" by Jessica Darrow down eight to 30.
Drop Outs
Our drop outs really aren't that much to complain about either,...I mean when "Pushin' P" by Gunna and Future feat. Young Thug is gone...I'm not about to complain, it did take "The Family Madrigal" by The Cast of Encanto with it.
The only drop out I am sort of upset about is "My Universe" by Coldplay feat. BTS...I can only hope that it's done enough now to make the the year end for 2022.
New Entries
Just the two new entries this week, startung with...
27. "Sweetest Pie" by Megan Thee Stallion feat. Dua Lipa
Ohh I was so looking forward to hearing this collab the moment that it was announced that Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa would be collaborating and well the result of their collaboration is "Sweetest Pie" and...it's exactly what you'd expect a collab between Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa to sound like as the song does sound like something straight off "Future Nostalgia" and Megan's verses are basically hot girl shit and really not anything that we haven't heard from her before. All up the song is a bit lame but for what it is...I'll take it.
22. "Something in the Way" by Nirvana
This was something of a surprise for me as after covering 1992, I didn't expect to be covering Nirvana again but as it turns out it's on the soundtrack of the new "The Batman" and look I get why it has been included in the film, it does sound like a song for the new It's also a short song with it being the same verse and chorus repeated with the song apparently about Kurt Cobain living under a bridge after being kicked out of home. it's actually a pretty chilling song, recommend giving it a listen.
It's also the best of the week. No worst this week as "Sweetest Pie" is a bit lame but it's not that bad. Next week hopefully some big changes to the top ten to break up the monotony, the chart updates at 5pm AEDST on Friday
