Look. going to skip over any preamble as I do have a fair bit happening in real life right now so let's start with our top ten where for yet another week and it's got challengers coming at it from all angles as it's not really comfortable in any platform, I am actually surprised it's still at number one!
"APT" by Rose and Bruno Mars refuses to go away as it remained at number two. Streaming helped "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan rose one spot to number three as it spent the week gaining on sales and streaming.
Also not going away is "That's So True" by Gracie Abrams which slipped one to number four because like "APT", it's still got streaming somehow.
Up five to number five is "Nokia" by Drake, it's got decent sales and streaming, its looking like it could make a surge for number one at some point.
The next four retained their positions with "Messy" by Lola Young at number six, "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish at number seven, "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone at number eight and "Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars at number nine.
Finally rounding out the top ten is "Anxiety" by Doechii which slipped five places because while it's doing well on sales, it's losing big time on streaming to the songs above it.
Gains.
So the Gains this week feel like a smaller lot than last week, we only had a nine place gain for "Undressed" by Sombr to twenty six and "Love Me Not" by Ravyn Lenae up seven to twenty five.
Re Entries
As for returning songs, we only saw "Stargazing" by Myles Smith back at forty three.
Losers
"I Love You, I'm Sorry" by Gracie Abrams slid six places to forty six while "Riptide" by Vance Joy is finally starting to fade away six places to forty two.
Tate McRae's "Revolving Door" spun down seven places to thirty four while "Dark Thoughts" by Lil Tecca lived up to it's name sliding down nine to thirty three.
Teddy Swims chart run with "The Door" had doors slammed six times down to thirty two.
Drop Outs
So four drop outs this week with two non starters leaving those being deluxe edition track from Ariana Grande in "Dandelion" and Chappell Roan's "The Giver".
The other exits were longer running hits like "Denial is a River" by Doechii and "TV Off" by Kendrick Lamar.
New Entries
Three new entries this week, beginning with.
39. "Back to Friends" by Sombr
Ahh so it's time to talk about the Sombr song that gained traction recently that I am a little bit cooler towards mostly due to that weird buzz that seems to cause more of a distraction than anything else on the song which is a shame because Sombr seems to have otherwise good production instincts even if the writing on this song can feel a btt similar in subject matter to "Undressed" and his vocals are allowed to breath in the mix. All in all, not a bad song just one I am unlikely to revisit.,
36. "Caramel" by Sleep Token
Here we go, another run in with Sleep Token and I am a bit more trepidatious about this song especially as I didn't like "Emergence" and unfortunately, it's the same sterile trying to mix heavier metal sounds with pop and r'n'b that just doesn't click with me at all and it just sounds messy at best and weirdly discordant while being sludgy at points, as a result it just winds up not being fun to listen to at all. Next!
30. "Azizam" by Ed Sheeran
We wrap up this week with the lead single from Ed Sheeran's upcoming new album "Play" and well... it is one of Ed's better pop sell out singles with what amounts to a dance pop song with Persian influences. The lyrics are pretty basic love song stuff with Sheeran asking his dear to meet him on the dancefloor if she's interested in playing the romance game but yeah, I dig this a fair bit, definitely better than "Shape of You" and "Eyes Closed" in terms of lead singles.
"Azizam" by Ed Sheeran gets the best of the week. Worst of the week goes to "Caramel" by Sleep Token...that song just does absolutely nothing for me.
