ARIA Singles Top 50 Chart Review: November 24th.

Not going to lie this week's ARIA singles chart feels like coming up for air because we do finally have some change at the top, yep, we have a new number one and it comes in the form of "Man I Need" by Olivia Dean, it's got the streaming margin which was no doubt helped by her performance at the ARIA awards on Wednesday night and that helped push it to the top and send "The Fate of Ophelia" by Taylor Swift back to number two.

The song that continues to sour on me in all the ways possible "Golden" from K-Pop Demon Hunters remained at number three while "Ordunary" by Alex Warren refuses to fuck off by being stuck to number four. 

Olivia Dean climbed two places to number five with "So Easy (To Fall in Love)"...I can see this song being a potential number one possibly next month, it did push "No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines and Tinashe back to number six,\

Raye continues to climb with "Where is My Husband" up two to number seven, I am absolutely obsessed with this song right now. Taylor Swifr had a rough week overall as "Opalite' slipped two to number eight. 

Up three to number nine is another Olivia Dean song that being "Nice to Each Other" while "12 to 12" by Sombr hangs onto the top ten at number ten and given it's losing traction on streaming, it' might be a safe bet that it's not here next week. 

Gains

Most of the big gains belong with Olivia Dean with "A Couple Minutes" up twelve to thirteen while "Baby Steps" jumped five to twenty six.

"Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish rebounded six to twenty three. Tame Impala also saw a six place boost to twenty eight with "Dracula"

The biggest gain of the week belonged to "The Days (Notion Remix)" by Chrystal up thirteen to thirty seven,

Re-Entries

Three returns this week with "Bad Dreams" by Teddy Swims woken up at forty nine. "Good Luck, Babe" by Chappell Roan at forty six and "Let Alone the One You Love" by Olivia Dean returning at thirty six.

Losers

Not many big time losers this week with maybe the biggest being "Wi$h Li$t" by Taylor Swift down six to thirty eight.

Drop Outs

Not much in the way of drop outs with "I Run" by Haven dropping out after streaming services pulled the song off their services because of illegalities around the vocals on the song. 

The rest are just Taylor Swift album tracks with "Wood", "Ruin The Friendship" and the two worst songs from the album gone those being "Actually Romantic" and "CANCELLED!".

New Entries

Two new entries

50. "Rein Me In' by Sam Fender and Olvia Dean

For as much as I would have loved Sam Fender's "Seventeen Going Under" to be a hit a couple of years ago, I think it's safe to acknowledge that this song is here because of the lady of the moment in the mainstream music scene...Olivia Dean and yeah...this is one of the best pop/rock songs of the year...not that we get much pop/rock on the charts these days but Sam and Olivia actually have some decent chemistry, the hook is sticky as hell and I love how that melody plays as almost a second hook to the song...definitely check this one out. 

47. "Talk of the Town" by Fred Again..., Sammy Virji and Reggie

It always surprises me when Fred again charts a new song and it shouldn't, the guy is a frequent chart presence so we got this new song that features English DJ Sammy Virji and Irish rapper Reggie, I also have to say that this is kind of lousy when Reggie's delivery isn't anywhere near what it needs to be and can get actively distracting also not helped by that beat being nothing to write home about so yeah I'll skip this.

It's the worst of the week. "Rein Me In" by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean easily takes best of the week. Next week...probably a whole load of Tate McRae.
