The Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 2019

We have reached the end of 2019, so it is time to discuss the hit songs that actively pissed me off during this year. 2019 is a difficult year to find the absolute worst in popular music mostly because a lot of it while not great was pretty good and others relatively inoffensive that I was just ambivalent toward, I really enjoyed this year music wise, however it also meant the absolutely terrible hit songs stuck out like sore thumbs and need to their rotting fleshy carcasses dealt with however I will say I am not as angry toward some of these as they aren’t worth the hatred as there was MUCH worse that didn’t chart (looking at you Liam Payne, Zac Brown Band and AJR)

My rules for this list are simple, the songs must have made their debut on the year end list for 2019 to be considered, overplayed on the radio cannot be a factor for making this list, a song has to actively piss me off with its content or the actual music to make it

.

Also I have decided to introduce a new rule, if a song that made the 2018 year end list hits the 2019 year end list higher then that’s eligible for this list too.

Let’s get this show started with a song I am certain I am the only person that changed the station when it came on the radio because I was so tired of it

10. I’m So Tired” by Lauv and Troye Sivan

I loved Troye Sivan’s 2018 album “Bloom” however this song just drives me up the wall every single god damn time I hear it, it’s a song where Lauv and Sivan complain that they are “so tired of love songs” that they just want to go home and how sick they are of people falling in love to their song. Seriously? If a song makes that connection for somebody to falling in love that’s honestly a great thing. The second verse goes through how clingy this guy is, there’s a vague element of creepy here and that shines through in the production with its minimalist and uninteresting close to trap music sound that by the way is so played out in modern music.

If you can get past how creepy the vocals and the production is on this song than good for you…I guess but I can’t…this song blows…time to move on…

This next song is from a group that really disappointed me in 2019, this band released a song earlier in the decade that might just make my top ten best hit songs of the decade, but I can’t lie when they disappointed me, they disappointed me hard and boy did they disappoint in 2019

9. “Rescue Me” by OneRepublic

It’s hard to believe OneRepublic have gone from pop rock anthems like “Counting Stars” and “Love Runs Out” to “Rescue Me” mostly because both “Counting Stars” and “Love Runs Out” sees OneRepublic front man Ryan Tedder exude some charisma and genuine personality on both songs that make them infectious and danceable however “Rescue Me”  can’t enter the pantheon  Tedder sounds monotonous and lacking any sort of fire or passion on the hook and as for the production, the instrumentation sounds like its trying to connect three or four different songs, it just doesn’t work at all and this was another instant radio station changer when this come on, it’s a painfully tired song and OneRepublic are capable of so much better.

Speaking of capable of so much better, two genuine pop music popstars get together for a collaboration and come up with this?

8. “I Don’t Care” by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber

It ought to be a crime to have Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber on a song together and neither of them show more personality or charisma than a cake of soap and much like Ryan Tedder on “Rescue Me”, they sound like they would rather be anywhere else than dancing with their baby, these two sound like they are having as much fun as a couple of kids in detention writing “I must not sing “Yummy” during maths”

Also not helping is the production lacking any kind of groove or energy. The only energy about this song is what sounds like a monkey jacked up on sleeping pills and Red Bull.

Given what Justin Bieber has released this year so far, its safe to say he will be on this list again not that he’d care all that much.

So after “Meant to Be” in 2018, country and pop combining continued to be a thing with Dan and Shay’s “10,000 Hours” feat. Justin Bieber which while boringly nauseating didn’t make my blood run cold however I can’t say the same for this EDM-country mess, Marshmello, PLEASE EXPLAIN?

7. “One Thing Right” by Marshmello feat. Kane Brown

After the “Meant to Be” clusterfuck of 2018, I would have thought pop and country would have learned that this kind of thing has more chance of sounding terrible than any good but EDM producer Marshmello not getting the message with this attempt at EDM country ‘rock’ with that awful squealing guitar during the breakdown that just sends a cold chill down my back and my teeth on edge every time I hear it.

The production means Kane Brown has to deliver the lyrics in this flat monotone not that it really matters because the lyrics are the 2019 version of Hoobastank’s “The Reason” with all the sickening subtext as well, if you’ve cheated on and lied to her, Kane, why the hell is she sticking around? She should have packed up and left you ages ago.

This song got played over any number of women in country and independent artists on US country radio and added to the unnecessary maligning of country music as a whole.

Marshmello can go away any time he likes as far as I am concerned.

So my thoughts on this band in recent days have been overwhelmingly positive in light of the release of their most recent single on Thursday so in order to figure out why they are making this list, you have to go back to the first single from this upcoming album…

6. “Easier” by 5 Seconds of Summer

My anger at this song is kind of diluted by the fact that “Teeth” was pretty good and their new single “No Shame” is excellent however it makes “Easier” a massive disappointment because there was so much potential to this song instead the production sounds like the three producers on this track Louis Bell, Andrew Watt, andCharlie Puth intermixed four sounds into one and it sounds TERRIBLE.

Luke’s falsetto on this song is ear grating, granted it’s much better on “No Shame” but that doesn’t excuse how awful “Easier” is on the ear which draws attention to the lyrics which draw into this toxic relationship where he doesn’t want to find out the answer if its easier to stay or go because this girl is beautiful…a girl being beautiful is NOT a good enough reason to stay in a bad relationship, this is the sort of relationship that sinks toward being in emotionally abusive territory. Definitely not a good song,

Look, this next guy has been a plague on the music scene for the entirety of the 2010s and what is worse some people want to crown this person as a king of R’n’B despite many of his albums during the past decade being bloated atrocities yet somehow this over rated and overtly decorated clown still somehow has a music career,

5. “No Guidance” by Chris Brown and Drake

So somehow everyone, who in recent days has been lining up to give Justin Bieber a pass for a generic plague dispenser of a lazy, slapdash album which they shouldn’t. has declared Chris Brown a legend and wanting to bestow some kind of “king of ‘r’n’b’ crown, two titles that he does not deserve as his songs are mostly drizzled with autotune or absolutely gross eg: 2017 single “No Privacy” or his 2018 hit with “rapper” Lil Dicky “Freaky Friday” (which should have made my worst list in 2018). This song is an absolute slog to sit through with its bland beat as Brown continues to show his terrible attitude toward women by gaslighting young women into having sex with him. Ew.

What is not much better is there’s no chemistry or interesting word play by either Drake or Brown has they sloppily try to hook up with a girl through layers of autotune. Chris Brown is no king of R’n’B and Drake will most likely continue to be the most over exposed music star in the world next to Ariana Grande (we’ll get to her) while inspiring Justin Bieber to shit out mediocrity

Oh boy…this song has been piled on by plenty of people and originally, I wasn’t one of them however with the passing of time I have realized my mistake and that Lewis Capaldi was committing crimes against good music.

4. “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi

Here we have the most overwrought song to become a hit since Whitney Houston’s ghastly cover of “I Will Always Love You” (have to slaughter one sacred cow) but unlike Whitney Houston, Lewis Capaldi sounds like he is just perpetually in pain after one too many kicks to the scrotum while on a bender which makes “Somebody Like You” intolerable at least from a vocal standpoint, the only saving grace for Capaldi is that at least he has more charisma than Justin Bieber.

This song is toxic in the worst way possible, it only reinforces what this girl did without any balance to indicate why she maybe did what she did to end the relationship and the song just comes off sounding like Capaldi whining over this really dreary piano. Yeah, I might have liked this song when it first came out but yeah repeated listens to it on the radio soured me on this toxic, whiny mess in no time at all and if “Before You Go” makes the year end for 2020, we might well be talking about Capaldi again. Joy.

So let’s get to a regular on a year-end worst list…Halsey. Now much like 5 Seconds of Summer, she has released a decent song off her new album “Manic” as her new single and it is currently sitting in the top 5 but if you all remember, in 2019, she released this…

3. “Without Me” by Halsey

This song was never going to top this list but oh boy, this song has so many issues, it’s hard to know where to begin, the production is this watery mess that’s not got enough gravitas to carry any of the melodrama that Halsey is trying to sell with all the enthusiasm of a seven year old child trying to avoid hugging that uncle who smells of cigarettes and stale farts.

The content of the song though is the reason that this song is so high up on this list where Halsey claims she was the one who carried presumably G-Eazy to the top which I doubt considering he was doing well on the charts before those two started dating, it’s got this veneer of ego and lack of self-awareness that makes this song frankly really toxic and paints Halsey in a pretty ordinary light. I have no use for this song.

Now we get to somebody I never imagined I would be putting on a year end worst list but it was the first song of 2019 that I took an instant dislike too and well…

2. “7 Rings” by Ariana Grande

Man, I was really starting to like Ariana Grande and she goes and releases this awful trap ridden garbage that her cooing sounds terrible over which features an interpolation of “My Favourite Things” from Sound of Music? I mean come on Ariana, you are better than this especially when “Into You”, “Love Me Harder”, “No Tears Left to Cry” and even “Dangerous Woman” exist!

Also the message of the song is a horrific one, if you feel sad, go out and spend a tonne of money because Ariana’s fans all have parents who are loaded with money and can afford to let their kids splash out on a new doll or whatever because they are feeling sad. Capitalism isn’t something we can revert to whenever we are feeling miserable, Ariana, that isn’t healthy for anyone.

This is a gross and frankly awful song that hopefully will be forgotten about but its not my number one so what could possibly be worse than what I’ve already spoken about?

My number one song reflects how toxic the world is right now in all kinds of ways, this guy should never had a top ten hit with this nor should this have been excused by so many people.

1.       1. "Hot Girl Bummer” by Blackbear

This song just shouldn’t exist, it just shouldn’t and the fact this song became a bigger hit in Australia than the song it rode the magic carpet off that being “Hot Girl Summer” by Megan Thee Stallion feat. Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign is a crime worthy of having somebody locked in Long Bay jail for and the fact he dropped this cheap crappy synth and trap slog makes me question whether hip hop and popular music have any god damn standards anymore.

The implication that all these girls that Blackbear is meeting with at this party are stupid and cheat every Thursday unlike him, the stench of rising crappy misogyny rising from this stinky turd is actually intolerable especially as Blackbear is the one painting himself as somebody who would never cheat and oh he is too big to fit in a condom. I mean please that is gross.

At the end of the day, this song is the pissy, disgusting kind of garbage the charts can ill afford, worst hit song of 2019 and if we’re lucky, Blackbear will fade into relative obscurity.

ARIA Singles Top Ten/chart Review: 10th February

This week's chart seems like a massive come down after the Hottest 100 tore a swathe through it last week and so it meant a few things for our top ten which we will get too.

It meant nothing for our number one which remains 'Blinding Lights" by the Weeknd, this song is turning into a monster on streaming and on sales, it's HUGE right now, I don't see anything getting close to it right now and honestly I am fine with that because its one of The Weeknd's best songs.

Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" returned to number two for a fourth week but it's going to need to find some huge growth in sales and streaming from somewhere which may not happen given events which we'll talk about when we get to our new arrivals however it blew past the weakening 'Dance Monkey" by Tones and I which dropped one place to number three as it bleeds on sales and streaming.

Which would make it vulnerable to "The Box" by Roddy Ricch which rose two places to number four but while it's streaming is great, it's not doing much of anything on sales right now.

"Godzilla" by Eminem feat. Juice WRLD remains at number five this mostly because streaming is still decent for this song (honestly I'd like to see this gone from the top ten sooner rather than later).

Now despite my predictions last week of a hard collapse this week, "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish only fell three places to number six. Shows what a massive song it is been.

Post Malone continues his ridiculous longevity with "Circles" remaining at number seven. This song has done ridiculously well to remain in the top ten for this long.

Now we've come across the biggest gain for the week which is one of the better songs from Halsey's recent album "You Should Be Sad" which jumped from 15 to 8. I'll take that!.

What I am not so thrilled about is Lewis Capaldi getting a second hit with the very mediocre to terrible "Before You Go" jumping from 14 to 9. WHY?

Billie Eilish is releasing her James Bond theme called "No Time to Die" tomorrow at 11am AEDT but her current single "Everything I wanted" is up one place to number 10.

Gains

So outside of Halsey's "You Should Be Sad", what also gained big?. Not much really with "Adore You" by Harry Styles up four to 14 and Doja Cat's "Say So" (which is getting radio traction unfortunately) also up four to 43.

Re-Entry

Just one re-entry with "The Reaper" by The Chsindmokers feat. Amy Shark back at 49...(Let's out a sarcastic "yay")

Losers

The biggest loser of the week was unsurprisingly "Rushing Back" by Flime and Vera Blue which fell from 8 to 20 as interest dropped off following the Hottest 100.other than that it's pretty quiet with most songs that dropped only losing one or two places at most apart from "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles which fell from 36 to 44 and "Piece of Your Heart" by Meduza and Goodboys falling seven to 47.

Drop Outs

Halsey's "Graveyard" finally hit the graveyard for past hits while SHAED fell off the "Trampoline" as that underwhelming song made its exit, those two songs took "Good News" by Mac Miller and "Charlie" by Mallrat with them.

New Entries

So I mentioned Dua Lipa earlier, well she's got the highest debut of the week with "Physical" in at 30, don't be surprised if this song takes attention, streams and sales away from "Don't Start Now"

Taylor Swift's Netflix documentary song "Only the Young" turns up at 31. I don't see this song sticking around.

Finally Aussie band The Rubens hit the ARIA top 50 with "Live in Life" at number 47


That wraps up the week, not sure what to expect next week, we might get one or two songs from "Australia Decides" and possibly a new Justin Bieber song (sigh) hitting the charts, we'll find out at 5pm AEDT on Saturday.

2000s Sound: 13th February

So this week brought a lot of destabilisation to the top ten and a few shifts in the top ten...just not in the top three where for another week "Mascara" by Killing Heidi remains at number one, though I am not sure for how much longer as Macy Gray's "I Try" is a chance of re-taking the top spot next week, it just didn't do quite enough to overtake Killing Heidi this week.

Len's "Steal My Sunshine" remains at number three this week as it couldn't bridge the margin to "I Try"

S Club 7's "S Club Party" seems to be getting bigger and louder as it climbed three places to number four, it was followed up by The Bloundhound Gang's "The Bad Touch" which jumped one place to hit the top five at number five.

Vanessa Amorosi's ode to the billions of people on this planet, "Absolutely Everybody" rose four places to number six.

Christina Aguilera is the first victim of all the shifts with "What a Girl Wants" down two places to number seven.

Madison Avenue re-enter the top ten with their request "Don't Call Me Baby" up three places to number eight.

Now we've hit the biggest new entry of the week and it comes from Eiffel 65 and their follow up to their number one smash hit "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" called "Move Your Body" which is in at number nine.

Finally, the biggest loser of any song in the top ten this week is Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone" which dropped six places to number ten this week.

Gains

Not much in the way of big gains this week with the biggest gain for Brian McKnight's "Back At One" which jumped nine places to twenty five. while William Orbit's "Barber's Adagio For String" rose seven places to twenty three.

Losers

Tina Cousin's "Forever' plunged eleven places to forty two while Moby's "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad For You' had an attack of some kind to drop ten places to forty four.

98 Degrees "I Do (Cherish You)" also hit a ten place skid to forty eight however the biggest hit came for Sister2Sister who dropped from twenty two to forty nine with "Sister"

ATB's "Don't Stop" hit thirty eight down from twenty one last week.

New Entries

So we have a slew of new entries to talk about beyond "Move Your Body" by Eiffel 65 at number 9 however at number 15 is a song called "Bloke" by Chris Franklin, an apparent comedy response from the male point of view to Meredith Brooks late 90s hit "Bitch"

Aqua are in at 26 with their new song called "Cartoon Heroes" while American rock band Filter are in at number 43 with "Take My Picture"

Britney Spears latest single from her debut album is "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" and it's entered at 47.

Live's latest effort "Run to the Water" is up and running at 49 while finally, Tom Jones is back on the chart with "Sex Bomb" feat. Mousse T.

Saturday Song Review: "No Shame' by 5 Seconds of Summer

So I do not count myself as a 5 Seconds of Summer fan, they have songs I like like “Youngblood” and “Teeth” but I have never brought a 5 Seconds of Summer album or felt the need to, I have never really cared about them all that much however on Thursday, the band dropped the third single from their upcoming fourth album “CALM” called “No Shame” and because I didn’t have anything better to do, I decided that I would check it out, heck, if it was bad, I could quickly move on so what was “No Shame” like?

Holy shit, I do not know what to say because “No Shame” has been the song I have come back to a lot since it was released even as I checked out new releases from Niall Horan, Joji (“Run” is excellent and well worth giving a stream by the way), Human Nature ( and Anne Marie, “No Shame” was the song I kept coming back to hear again and again, there’s an addictive quality to the song that gets me every single time to the point listening to anything else felt like sheer disappointment for a good hour last night.

“No Shame” is unashamedly pop rock with a sweet guitar riff that repeats through the track and reminds me a lot of the pop rock around in the late 2000s complete with verse and bridge that builds into an explosive chorus with Luke hitting the high part of his vocal range for the chorus.

The subject matter of the song is pretty dark though, dealing with issues surrounding fame, the visceral high the band gets of being famous and obsessed fans expecting and demanding more and more which is an absolute pitfall of fame especially in the age of social media where fans are closer to their favourite bands/artists more so than ever and honestly the music video really does depict what fame must feel like to those in celebrity circles. 

I guess the one real nit-pick is the quick leap from the chorus into the second verse, would have loved a little guitar or something in between the chorus and second verse but otherwise this is a terrific pop rock song. Check it out!

My rating for "No Shame": 8.5/10

ARIA Singles Top ten/Chart Review: 3rd February. Hottest 100 hits

A bit to get through this week so let's not muck around as "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd spends a second week at  number one and really I don't see what is going to challenge it as its dominating digital sales and streaming.

"Dance Monkey" by Tones and I is only barely holding on at number two as it bleeds on streaming, digital sales is the only thing propping this song up right now and once that goes, it will fall.

The biggest story comes from Triple J's Hottest 100 with the number one on that countdown also the biggest climber of the week with former chart topper "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish back at number three. This won't last, it's in for a hard fall next week.

Expect "Don't Start Now" by Dua Lipa which remained at number four this week to be a beneficiary if "Bad Guy" fall hard next week.

Sticking around way longer than I expected it to is "Godzilla" by Eminem feat. Juice WRLD which slipped two places to number five, its doing okay on streaming but those sales aren't good.

The same could be said of "The Box" by Roddy Ricch which fell one spot to six...it's a giant on streaming but those sales numbers are hindering it's progression up the chart.

"Circles" by Post Malone continues its stay in the top ten as the Hottest 100 helped it to stabilise at number seven.

Speaking of the Hottest 100, the most popular Australian track on the countdown rose from twenty four to eight this week off the back of voted in at number two, "Rushing Back" by Flume and Vera Blue, this song won't stick around in the top ten though unfortunately.

"Never Seen The Rain" by Tones and I jumped one place back to number nine. It's as consistent as "Circles" is but kind of frustrating it probably won't get higher than seven.

Finally, "Yummy" by Justin Bieber fell four places to number ten, it got a remix with US R'n'B star Summer Walker on it but even so this song looks like it might be relying on a boost from the upcoming Bieber album (Bieber released the tracklisting overnight...yikes) and hopefully should be headed for the exit after that. I want this garbage gone.

Gains

So we've already discussed the big Hottest 100 gains for "Bad Guy" and "Rushing Back" so may as well go through the rest that got boosts off the back of the Hottest 100 with "Purple Hat" by Sofi Tukker up from 40 to 23, "Highest in the Room" by Travis Scott jumping eight spots to 30 and "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee up eight to 41.

The only gains that appeared to be from the Grammys was the boost for "Old Town Road" which rose ten places to 33.while "Castles" by Freya Ridings recovered ten places from the Eminem album last week to hit 34.

The only gain that I cannot explain is "What a Man Gotta Do" by Jonas Brothers up off its debut to 24 somehow. 

Re-Entries

Two returns this week off the back of the Hottest 100 with "Piece of Your Heart" by Meduza and Goodboys back at 40 and "Graveyard" by Halsey back at 48

Losers

The biggest loser this week was "Good News" by Mac Miller which plunged from 27 to 43 while "Hot Girl Bummer" by Blackbear hits 46 a drop of nine places, they were the only two big losers this week

Drop Outs

The drop outs are all Eminem "Music to be murdered by" album tracks and thank god they are gone.

New Entries

It's a slow week for new entries with Doja Cat's "Say So" the highest debutant at 48 while the Hottest 100 helped Aussie Mallrat get "Charlie" to enter at number 50.

So that wraps up the week. The chart will be updated at 5pm AEDT on Saturday. 

2000s Sound: 6th February

So it's a bit of a busy one week this week, let's get straight into it. "Mascara" by Killing Heidi spends a second week at number one and really its an open question of what can possibly challenge it.

Well, there's Macy Gray's "I Try" which remains stuck at number two and really not looking like snatching number one back meanwhile Len's "Steal My Sunshine" had it's momentum stalled at number three.

Alice Deejay has her biggest hit with "Better Off Alone" making a three place move to number four while Christina Aguilera is also into the top five with "What A Girl Wants" slipping up four places to five.

The Bloodhound Gang continue to experience success with "The Bad Touch" up two places to number six while S Club 7 hit up three places to number seven as they conduct an "S Club Party".

M2M took a two place plunge to number eight with "Don't Say You Love Me" while former chart topper "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 dropped five places to number nine.

Finally joining the top ten is "Absolutely Everybody" by Vanessa Amorosi hits the top ten up five places at number ten.

Gains

So the big gains were fairly limited this week with Moby's "Why Does My Heart Feel Bad for You?" jumping from 47 to 33.

Deadstar find their way into the top thirty with "Deeper Water" up nine to 29.

Re- Entries

Robbie Williams "Angels" is back at 44 for some reason (I do like that song though) while Puff Daddy and R, Kelly's collaboration "Satisfy You" is back at 47


Losers

Most of the big losers were 1999 songs that were on their way out anyway like Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" slumping twenty places to 49 and "Everywhere You Go" by Taxiride down 16 places to 50.

Paul Johnson's "Get Get Down" drops nine places to 48 while Tina Cousins "Forever" slumped eight places to 31.

Meanwhile Madison Avenue suffered a sudden plunge from the top ten with "Don't Call Me Baby" plunging six places to 11.

New Entries

The Backstreet Boys have the highest debut this week with pop ballad "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" in at number 24.

R 'n' B star Brian McKnight is in at 34 with "Back At One" while US rockers Limp Bizkit in at 35 with "Re-Arranged"

Finally the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are in at 45 with "Otherside"

ARIA singles top ten/ Chart Review: 27th January: Blinded by Eminem album bomb

So this week has a couple of big stories, just as I called it last week we have a new number one and we got something of an album bomb from Eminem following the surprise release of his new album "Music to Be Murdered By" but let's start right at the very top where the big story is that after a historic 24 non consecutive weeks at number one, "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I has been dethroned from the top spot by The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" giving The Weeknd his first Australian number one single ("Starboy" and "Can't Feel My Face" only reached number two"). "Blinding Lights" ruled digital sales and has a lead on streaming.

"Dance Monkey" fell to number two as it has pretty much started bleeding on digital sales and streaming. I expect this song will keep hold of number two next week given the boost given to it on streaming courtesy of finishing high on Triple J's Hottest 100.

Now we get to the first of the Eminem album bomb with "Godzilla" feat. Juice WRLD at number three. Now I am not sure about the prospects of this song going forward because its already losing streams and it's not doing much of anything on sales so we'll have to wait and see.

The real casualty in the shifting was "Don't Stop Now" by Dua Lipa which slipped one place to number four mostly do to sales running out of steam.

However the song that has some streaming traction and looks likely to be the biggest threat to "Blinding Lights" is "The Box" by Roddy Ricch as streaming is excellent but wow, sales are not catching on at all. 

What I was pleased to see happen was the two place fall for "Yummy" by Justin Bieber as it lost sales and streaming although it's getting a remix with Summer Walker somehow. Strange how Bieber keeps wanting to polish this turd of a song. Summer Walker, you are better than this.

Then we have a gaggle of 2019 hits on their way out of the top ten slowly, the first those being "Circles" by Post Malone which dropped two places to number 7. "Roxanne" by Arizona Zervas also dropping two places to number eight and "Memories" by Maroon 5 dropping one place to nine. The sooner both "Roxanne" and "Memories" are gone the better.

Returning to the top ten this week is "Never Seen the Rain" by Tones and I which moved up one place to number ten.

Gains

The biggest gain came for "You Should be Sad" by Halsey which climbed from forty one to fifteen this week which is good news because its a good song, hopefully it sticks around however its more off the release of "Manic".

"Good News" by Mac Miller jumped from forty three to twenty seven this week also off the back of the release of his posthumous album "Circles"

Losers

Wow, we had losers right across the board this week, the biggest coming for "Highest In the Room" by Travis Scott down to 38 while "I Don't Care" by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber dropped twelve places to fifty and speaking of Bieber, "10,000 Hours" by Dan and Shay feat. Justin Bieber slumped from 30 to 42 because the song is straight outta Yawnsville.

2019 hits also took a hit with "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabella dropping ten places to forty one, "Trampoline" by Shaed finally broke by hitting forty seven, "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X dropped nine places to forty three while "Castles" by Freya Ridings dropped from thirty five to forty four and "Lose You to Love Me" by Selena Gomez lost itself down to thirty one. 

Finally "Watermelon Sugar" by Harry Styles dropped eight places to thirty five and Lizzo's "Good as Hell" plummeted out of the top ten to eighteen.

Drop outs

Gone are 2019 hits like "Beautiful People" by Ed Sheeran and Khalid and "Piece of Your Heart" by Meduza and Goodboys...two songs I actually like but if they are taking with it "Graveyard" by Halsey (I know surprising considering you would have thought it'd get a boost off the back of the release of "Manic"), "Sorry" by Joel Corry, "No Idea" by Don Toliver. and "The Reaper" by The Chainsmokers and Amy Shark then I really can't complain too much.

The only song I feel a vague sense of disappointment seeing it gone is "Own It" by Stormzy feat. Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy...mostly because that song is pretty good and I'd have liked Stormzy to countract some the bad rap on the charts right now...

New Entries

So let's go through the rest of these Eminem new emtries given I have already mentioned "Godzilla" feat. Juice WRLD at number three so let's blow through the other four new Eminem songs to chart this week with "Those Kinda Nights" feat Ed Sheeran at twenty five, "Darkness" at thirty two, "Unaccommodating" feat. Young M.A at thirty four and "You Gon' Learn" feat. Royce Da 5'9" and White Gold at thirty six, none of these I expect to stick around.

It wasn't just Eminem though because we got "What A Man Gotta Do" by Jonas Brothers in at thirty nine and finally, "Eleven" by Khalid at forty nine.

Next week, well I expect the Eminem songs to be replaced by a bunch of songs that charted highly on Triple J's Hottest 100 and probably a boost for "Rushing Back" by Flume and Vera Blue. We'll find out at 5pm AEDT on Saturday.
