Australian top ten/chart review: October 15th
crowdiegal Since I haven't done one of these on here since August, I thought I may as well post this week's ARIA chart top ten/ chart review here. Pretty interesting week.So let's not muck around here, it was a pretty busy old week this one with a lot of movement...just not at the very top with George Ezra's "Shotgun" spending a fourth week on top of the ARIA charts, it's also very likely to get a fifth week on top despite signs it will lose number one on digital sales.
Sitting at number two is Benny Blanco's "Eastside" feat. Halsey and Khalid and really it's really getting to the point of going to number one or fall away as new songs enter the chart especially considering some songs that are gaining swell.
Former number one Dean Lewis impressively hangs on at number three for another week.
"Happier" by Marshmello feat. Bastille climbed one place to number four switching places with Kanye West and Lil Piump's "Love It" which slipped to number five.
"Promises" by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith remains at number six (bit of a pity that it seems unlikely this song will go to number 1 as it is a pretty good song)
Which brings us to a new arrival in the top ten and one that I kind of expected even if the song isn't all that good, "In My Mind" by Dynoro which climbed six places to number 7. Ugh. Hopefully it doesn't go much further.
"Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando jumped two places to number eight, this song could break into the top 5 if all goes well for it, hell, it' forced Khalid's "Better" back to number nine.
The yoyo effect continues for Jonas Blue's "Rise" feat. Jack and Jack which fell three places to number 10.
Gainers
Well the big gainer this week was unfortunately the abysmal "Taki Taki" by DJ Snake feat. Ozuna, Cardi B and Selena Gomez which jumped from 41 to 28.
"This Feeling" by The Chainsmokers feat. Kelsea Ballerini jumped from 23 to 17 because radio realized they love a "The Middle" rip off. "Sicko Mode" by Travis Scott feat. Drake returned to the top 20 at number 19. Tom Walker has his first top 20 hit in Australia with "Leave the Light On" rising four places to numbe 20
Triple J Unearthed star Kian rose seven places to 31 with "Waiting" which is great news, good to see young Aussie talent get a shot on the charts.
Re-Entries
"Venom" by Eminem retuened to the chart at number 37.
Losers
Speaking of Eminem, he also had the biggest loser this week with "Lucky You" feat. Joyner Lucas falling hard from 19 to 34.
There were several heavy losers this week including Jess Glynne's "I'll Be There" which fell ten places to number 43. Similar for "Praise the Lord (da Shine" by A$AP Rocky feat. Skepta which skidded down ten places to 44.
"No Brainer" by DJ Khaled feat. his "I'm The One" posse minus Lil Wayne continues to underwhelm down to 23 (seriously get this limp rip off of a previous bad song off the charts).
"Healing Hands" by Conrad Sewell fell to 32 from 26 but it should make year end list which makes me very happy indeed.
"Breathin'" by Ariana Grande continues it's slow fall down to 35 from 27.
"Born to Be Yours" by Kygo and Imagine Dragons slipped down nine places to 39. "Natural" by Imagine Dragons dropped from 39 to 47.
Finally "FEFE" by 6ix9ine feat. Nicki Minaj is on its way out finally as it fell seven places to 50.
Drop Outs
Unsurprisingly both Lil Wayne entries are gone, "Don't Cry" with XXXtentacion and "Mona Lisa" with Kendrick Lamar, they took Alesso's "Remedy" with them. None of those songs will make the year end list
However there were some big hits this year to drop out, Ariana Grande's two biggest songs from the Sweetener era which was short and dramatic with former number one "No Tears Left to Cry" and former number 5 "God is a woman" gone. Both will make year end list, as will '2002" by Anne-Marie.
"I Like It' by Cardi B feat. Bad Bunny and J. Balvin is another question altogether though, it peaked at 14 and remained on the chart for 25 weeks so we'll see what happens I guess.
New Entries
Pretty rare for a non album bomb week to have six brand new spanking entries, we begin this week's dose of new entries at number 11 with Halsey's "Without Me'...meh, I barely remember the song tbh.
The first song from the "A Star is Born" soundtrack has hit the charts that being "Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper arrives at number 25 - I expect this song to jump into the top ten next week and is the best song of the six new entries
Rita Ora's new single "Let You Love Me" enters at 27. Interested in this song's chart performance to be honest. I am somewhat ambivalent toward the song, doesn't generate a lot of interest for me to be honest.
Lauv and Julia Michaels (pretty predictable really) team up for this week's new entry at number 41 with "There's No Way"
Lukas Graham return to the Australian charts for the first time since 2016's "Mama Said" entered the chart at number 42 and exited the next week in July 2016, their newest single "Love Someone" entering at number 46.
Finally, the last of the new entries is "Day Drunk" by Morgan Evans at number 48. (Why is it in Australia, we can't get the good country songs to chart?)
So that finishes this week's chart review.
