So this is a pretty quiet week, nothing in the way of new entries which is good because I am kind of beyond snowed under with the amount of work I have to do for this blog and trying to tie up the last few weeks of 1994 as well so I appreciate ARIA giving me a quiet week to work with here.
Its especialy quiet at the top with "Man I Need" by Olivia Dean spending a fourth week at number one. I don't see what's knocking her offf as it won't be Mariah Carey as "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is relegated back to the on replay chart so Olivia Dean has no competition for the top spot right now.
I would say "The Fate of Ophelia" by Taylor Swift atuck at number two but that's starting to show weaknesses on streaming even if sales are remakably consistent. The same applies to "Golden" from K-Pop Demon Hunters at number three and "Ordinary" by Alex Warren at number four,
Rebounding two places to number five is "No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines and Tinashe (god damn, the fact Tinashe got a hit out of this instead of some of her hetter music is heartbreaking). Holding steady at number six is "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean while "Where is My Husband" by RAYE slipped two pllaces back to number seven.
"Nice to Each Other" by Olivia also holds at number eight while "12 to 12" by Sombr rebounded one spot to number nine (this song is growing on me so hard) and finally "I Run" by HVN and Kaitlin Aragon moved up one to return to the top ten at number ten.
Gains
So in terms of major gains outside the top ten, the year end Billboard Hot 100 number one for 2025 "Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars rebounded eight to number eighteen while "That's So True" by Gracie Abrams also got a big bounce back up eleven to twenty five...I'm going to blame Spotify Wrapped for both of these.
Same goes for "APT" by Rose and Bruno Mars which climbed nine spots to thirty and "Messy" by Lola Young up nine to thirty four.
That said I am not sure if Spotify can be blamed for the ten place gain to twenty seven for "The Days (Notion Remix)" by Chrystal...why?.
"Chanel" by Tyla rose nine spots to thirty one...maybe Australia is going to give Tyla a second hit...I'd be down for it.
Re-Entries
We did have four re-entries this week with Kendrick Lamar seeing "Not Like Us" back at forty nine and "Luther" feat. SZA returning at 37...I'll chalk that up to Kendrick being in Australia touring right now.
The two other new entries can again be pinned to Spotify Wrapped with "Sailor Song" by Gigi Perez returning at number thirty seven and "Abracadabra" by Lady Gaga at twemty nine.
Losers
EsDeeKid's "Phantom" with Rico Ace was the biggest loser of the week down thirteen places to forty three.
It was a rough week for Tate McRae with "Just Keep Watching" turned off nine places to forty one while "Gabriela'" by Katseye slipped seven to thirty eight and "Dracula" by Tame Impala might finally be done as it slipped seven to forty.
"What It Sounds Like" from K-Pop Demon Hunters fell seven to thirty five.
Drop Outs.
Four drop outs this week with "Do It" by Stray Kids, "Nobody's Girl" by Tate McRae and "Elizabeth Taylor" by Taylor Swift exiting and unlikely to be back...I'm not complaining about any of those being gone tbh.
The one drop out I will complain about being gone is "Rein Me In" by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean...this song was a top ten hit in the UK and it deserves better on the Australian charts than this. Just saying.
Anyway with there being no new entries this week, that wraps up our week, I expect things to be quiet until after the Christmas/New Year period especially now the chart is unlikely to be infested wth Christmas songs.
