Well this week was about what I expected, we got a song returning to number one and looks like having some real momentum to hold on to the number one for awhile even despite how busy it looks like the charts are about to be over the next few weeks and our only new entry this week landing predictably hgh but okay let's deal with the top ten first because returning to number one is "As It Was" by Harry Styles as it became the firm leader on streaming and while a little up and down on sales this week, it was still enough to fend off it's rivals,
Former number one "First Class" by Jack Harlow slipped back to number two due to losing that streaming advantage, its actually doing better than expected on sales as well. I expect this to stick around for awhile.
Then there's "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals remaining at number three, this song is really only here on streaming fumes at this point because it's got nothing on sales, it's literally waiting to be pushed out of the top ten at this point.
That brings us to our one new entry this week..."Thousand Milea" by The Kid Laroi, this got to the top ten because apart from the top two, the top ten is rather weak and I am surprised it isn't as strong as I would have thought a new Kid Laroi single usually is.
This caused Kid Laroi's other top ten hit "Stay" with Justin Bieber to fall back one to number five and "Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran back to number six.
"Where Are You Now" by Lost Frequencies and Calum Scott remains at number seven somehow while "Cold Heart (PNAU remix)" by Elton John and Dua Lipa slipped back two places to number eight.
"Shivers" by Ed Sheeran is also on the way out slipping one place to number nine which only means good news for the newest arrival to the top ten....sigh..."Big Energy (remix)" by Latto feat. Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled up four places to hit the top ten at number ten. I only expect this to rise further as it's got traction which is not a good sign going forward.
Gains
The biggest gainer of the week is Harry Styles 2020 hit "Watermelon Sugar" which climbed twelve places to 25 while "Wait a Minut!" by Willow climbed nine places to 37
Re=Emtries
Just one return this week with "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran back at number 50...somehow.
Losers
Weirdly enough I am not all that upset about most of our losers this week...okay, "Numb Little Bug" by Em Beihold losing five places to 49 is worrying as I do like that song a lot.
However when "Let's Trot!" by Brothers feat. Joel Fletcher dropped six places to 44 or "Do It To It" by Acraze feat. Cherish slipped eight places to 42...I am not going to complain.
"Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac tumbled nine places to 39 and "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by The Cast of Encanto shut down eight places to 31,
Drop Outs
Our two drop outs are pretty predictable with both "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I and "Nail Tech" by Jack Harlow gone.
New Entries
Just the one new entry this week so let's talk about...
4/. "Thousand Miles" by The Kid Laroi
One thing I was hoping for from The Kid Laroi is that he'd find a change up or something different to his music or at least something that makes me material less unpleasant to enjoy so how is the lead single for his debut album? Well it's an improvement in terms of the writing where it's Kid Laroi not trying to force this girl to stay but rather he encourages her to stay away from him, knowing that his toxic tendemcies will only end up ruining whatever chance this relationship has. Just a a shame th piano based production does feel clunky and doesn't really reflect the drama of the situation so really I guess I am kind of ehh about this one?
That wraps up another rather abortively short week. Next week, we'll have to see what he get because I am not sure, we'll find out when ARIA updates their charts at 5pm on Friday.
