Billie Eilish 49 42 009 02 AUSTIN Post Malone 50 50 215 18 LIVE IN BUENOS AIRES Coldplay "Paint The Town Red" is #1 for a 6th week. Even more so than last week, it's showing some serious cracks with a sharp decline of late, reducing it to merely still ahead by a lot. Lucky to sneak up in this particular week is Kenya Grace which serves an interesting curiosity as I think it might just be the highest charting drum & bass song ever in Australia? The best I can think of otherwise is "Feel The Love" by Rudimental which got to #3. I say it's lucky because "greedy" is really making a move and should at the very least reach #2 next week. Zach Bryan is stuck at #11 for a 4th week in a row but has a decent shot at overtaking a few songs ahead of it so this might be his chance. As silly as the notion is, "Something In The Orange" is once again not out of the count to keep climbing. Getting the top debut for this week is Troye Sivan. You may well know that "Got Me Started" samples "Shooting Stars" but do you know the storied history of that song? Personally I first heard of Bag Raiders around 2007/2008 with some singles that got a little airplay, until "Shooting Stars" really blew up in 2009, hovering around the ARIA top 100 and landing in the top 20 for triple j's Hottest 100. This cult favourite became a top 50 hit in 2013 after it was used in a performance on Australia's Got Talent (I must note that chart entries like that are so rare over here). A few years later it became an internet meme as you probably know, and last year Flume had an audio-visual spectacular when he covered it for Like A Version. His last Like A Version was of Ghost Town DJ's "My Boo" so he sure knows how to pick internet memes that are also massive bangers. Doja Cat gets a debut from her new album, which if memory serves me correctly didn't happen immediately with "Planet Her". We've also got Tyla getting their first entry with "Water". Kylie Minogue scores her 8th #1 album. These are far from guaranteed for her as she only scored her first in 2000 and has been blocked to the top spot several times. She has however now gotten there with her last 4 studio albums. Speaking of inconsistent, Holy Holy albums tend to land all over the place, but for the second time in a row they've scored a career high at #4. Doja Cat lands a little short of her #3 debut from her last album, but that one also didn't peak on entry so who can say for sure? I don't want to be one of those people who prematurely calls everything a flop and never acknowledges how many times I ended up being wrong. I will freely say to the world that I didn't think "STAY" sounded like a hit when it first dropped, so yeah. Stephen Sanchez scores his first album chart entry while Thy Art Is Murder are up to 6. Next week we see if Kylie Minogue or Olivia Rodrigo can maintain their standing enough to threaten Ed Sheeran's #1 album streak.

Billie Eilish 49 47 199 01 FINE LINE Harry Styles 50 44 150 01 BORN TO DIE Lana Del Rey Not me discovering a typo I've been copy/pasting for almost 2.5 years at this point "Paint The Town Red" is #1 for a 7th week. I was surprised to see it bulleted again on Spotify last night so it may have more in it yet. It maintains the top spot on Apple and iTunes (well it's #2 on iTunes right now behind The Voice winner but yeah) while radio has been slow to adopt "greedy", making a bizarre timeline where the one song in the top 3 getting significant airplay at the moment is the rap song. Jung Kook gets his second top 10 hit this year, once again dodging the peak position suggested by the song title, but slightly closer this time I suppose. Also in the top 10, miraculously, are Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves. The party might not end either because Zach Bryan has been getting a significant streaming boon over the past week and I kid you not, "Something In The Orange" would be pretty much a lock for top 10 next week if not for Drake's interruption impending. Drake's belated album release hurts it a lot in Australia where we already struggle hopping onto new releases. It's hard to predict but I'm expecting probably two or three in the top 10, enough to keep Zach Bryan at #11 maybe. Elsewhere, Troye Sivan has a suspicious climb to #21 which will probably noticeably recede next week. Also "Mr. Brightside" and "Cold Heart" both simultaneously join the 100 week club this week, the 8th & 9th songs to do so. "Someone You Loved" will probably fall out of the top 50 this week which gives Glass Animals a chance to catch up, but they might also drop out so who knows. "Heat Waves" has by far the longest unbroken top 50 streak of 148 weeks and counting. Ed Sheeran scores his 7th #1 album which continues his perfect record in that regard. I believe this is just an unmatched record in general as nobody has accomplished this past or present. The only other big streaks I can think of are Silverchair and 5 Seconds of Summer, who both hit #1 with all 5 of their studio albums to date. They also all debuted at #1 which is something Ed Sheeran can't boast with "+". Otherwise this week in the top 10, it's a good week for those who like putting things in all-caps, or a bad week for that cause because ARIA has not acknowledged the all-caps on all 3 cases. In any case, LANY have managed a surprisingly strong debut at #4, having never charted previously. Same goes for James Johnston charting the first time with "RAISED LIKE THAT" (ARIA's website does not have the all-caps format for titles so I know they didn't do it), and lastly there's the more familiar DOPE LEMON with a 3rd top 10 album in addition to the various other ways that Angus Stone has credited himself on previous hit albums. He actually beat Ed Sheeran on vinyl sales this week. The only other debut is a sneak entry for Tassie's finest Luca Brasi. They were previously charting higher and higher and reached the top 10 but this is a bit of a step back.

I was thinking a week ago that it might be close to the end of this reign but then in the past few days it's been brought to my attention that "greedy"'s streams were being suspiciously inflated (to justify higher playlist positions and altogether astroturf it into looking legitimate? Weird how transparent these things can be) so there's not really a strong contender at the moment. Painting the carpet red for Taylor Swift in a few weeks perhaps. Drake has a handful of debuts this week, three of them in the top 50. Much like with Travis Scott recently, this first week of debuts isn't really reflecting the order of things a week later, as "Rich Baby Daddy" is actually the highest track on Spotify at the moment despite its lowly debut. Coinciding with this is Zach Bryan probably finding the worst week to hit 6th or 7th wind with his catalogue, as "Something In The Orange" overtakes several songs to climb up to a new peak of #11, but alas Drake made the mission a little too tough this week. Zach Bryan has receded a bit this week so far but I do think that he should make the top 10 at last next week, which if nothing else, provides an easy to remember answer to the question of 'What is the slowest climb into the top 10', as well as not having it be an anti-climax answer of "Die For You" or something like that. Tyla is also racing towards the top 10 this week, as is our non-Drake debut this week from Mitski. "My Love Mine All Mine" is a country song by the way, stop putting artists into boxes that serve only to stifle creativity. Drake scores his 5th #1 album this week. It breaks a tie with Kanye West to make him outright the rapper with the second most #1's, quite a way behind 1st, but it is worth noting that as of this week, Drake has more top 2 albums than Eminem so he operates on a lot of near misses. It's a big week for Australian artists spanning the generations. The next highest debut comes from The Screaming Jets, who if you're Australian you probably know as the band that made the song "Better", which incidentally is currently being used in a Hungry Jack's ad because someone obviously connected the dots with their slogan. Just a month ago in the lead up to this album release, bass player Paul Woseen died at age 56. At #5 this week is Australian music icon Russell Morris with an orchestral live album named after his debut single and #1 hit "The Real Thing" from 1969. Just behind him is the debut album for Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers who I can attest are more than just pretty good for a girl band. I've done a fact check of my own and can say that this new NCT 127 album is technically their 6th album but it is their 5th Korean album. They hit #3 with their last album a year ago and now have a second top 10. Also debuting in the top 50 this week is the debut EP for brother sister duo DACY, and yet another non-state based Sufjan Stevens album, which is his 3rd top 50 entry.

Billie Eilish 49 49 201 01 FINE LINE Harry Styles 50 53 218 18 LIVE IN BUENOS AIRES Coldplay "Paint The Town Red" is #1 for a 9th week. Might get dethroned this week, I'm not sure. I have to take the time to acknowledge my own errors however. I wrongfully asserted that "Slime You Out" would probably only manage 3 weeks in the top 50 but it snuck a 4th. In this era where boosts more typically spread across entire catalogues rather than single songs (well sometimes), Zach Bryan once again has a pair of new peaks which notably includes "Something In The Orange" absolutely obliterating whatever the previous record for longest climb into the top 10 was. Tyla also hits the top 10 this week with relatively brisk pace. Troye Sivan has the only debut this week, under odd circumstances that see his three top 50 entries all sitting next to each other. He's not even alone because Taylor Swift also has 3 in a row below him. This is now the 7th Australian song to hit the top 50 this year and we might have a chance of breaking double digits because The Kid LAROI should see us one step closer next week. That also still means we've only had 4 different Australian artists in the top 50 and one of them wasn't even the first credited artist on the song, yes, it's a bit shit, no, OCC fanfiction rules won't make it better. I'll stop defending ARIA for a moment because they've multiple times on social media this week made the erroneous claim that this is Troye Sivan's first ever #1 on the album chart. He quite notably had a milestone #1 many years ago when "WILD" became the first ever EP to hit #1. To be clear, they did not say "Something To Give Each Other" is his first #1 album, which would technically be true. I just assume whoever was researching this stuff went as far as a single table on his Wikipedia discography where "WILD" is separated from his albums and easy to overlook. Anyway it's good for him that he has 3 hit songs at the moment because you tend to find that's enough to keep an album in the top 50 for a decent while. Earlier this year, Chris Cheney had a top 3 album with supergroup The Barnestormers, and now this week he's back with his more famous band The Living End, whose debut album got a multi-format re-release that includes a recently recovered live performance recording as a bonus disk. Post Malone's compilation is basically unable to fall down the chart until "Chemical" completely vanishes from discussion so it randomly gets a sizeable new peak this week. Tomorrow X Together chart for the first time, and local stalwart Diesel pops in with another new album.

Billie Eilish 49 47 011 18 EGO: THE MICHAEL GUDINSKI STORY - MUSIC FROM THE FEATURE DOCUMENTARY Soundtrack 50 50 219 18 LIVE IN BUENOS AIRES Coldplay "Paint The Town Red" is #1 for a 10th week. We're spared the crossfire of the Billboard trophy cabinet hunting to get "Cruel Summer" to #1, so maybe I'll be able to get out of 2023 still liking the song. Taylor Swift will probably be #1 next week but the mystery is with which song. Just because there is past precedent that when a Taylor Swift album comes out, not all of the tracks actually appear on the chart, where the extras are the ones usually afflicted. However this week, it's the extras that are doing the best. You'd probably put your money on "Is It Over Now?" but then who can say? A side effect of this looks to be that it'll probably end "Heat Waves"'s 151 week streak in the ARIA top 50. For the time being, The Kid LAROI does gift us our 8th Australian top 50 hit of the year. This and "Love Again" are the only ones to hit the top 10, and seemingly just for a week each. It also means that Drake gets a taste of his own medicine as now his potential top 10 hit has been blocked by a debut out of nowhere. It's been a hot minute but we've finally got a new forced random hit that the industry really wants to make happen that also has a blatant sample. Paul Russell breaks the cardinal Coi Leray rule, which is to say that it should be illegal to sample a song that is both already well known, and also already sampled in a Billboard #1 hit. As an added bonus, also please don't sample songs that were overplayed on TV ads. I'm going to assume that Noah Kahan's debut doesn't also do this but I've not ventured to check yet. This is his 3rd top 50 hit. For the first time in 7 years, The Rolling Stones have a #1 album. I actually wasn't totally sure they'd do so up against blink-182 despite the lack of historical success. This is blink-182's 4th #2 album, still not having hit #1. I must share that this morning I had a dream in which I was typing this column(?) up and I made a joke that clearly this 'poppy' new direction (with some very distracting punctuation littered about) was welcomed by fans as it was their highest charter, and someone I won't name (and it's definitely not who you think) made an out of character remark where they completely missed my sarcasm and went on a tirade about how meaningless this chart peak is. There's not much else going on this chart. "Teenage Dream" gets a bit of a boost due to the vinyl release, but actually the best selling old vinyl this week was Glass Animals' 2014 debut album. Australian punk band Clowns get their second top 40 album, and I feel obliged to mention since these events are somewhat rare, but after 200+ weeks in the top 50, "Fine Line" has dropped out for the first time ever. It's probably always more interesting to ponder on the last time a long standing album appears in the top 50 (since they're usually jumping in and out), but you don't really ever know that's happened once it has, so this is the more interesting side product we do have. In fact I didn't notice the same thing happen to Billie Eilish's album a few weeks ago. The next album to watch in that line is "Future Nostalgia", which will probably be seen out by the Christmas season if not sooner.

You can take "Wildest Dreams" and "This Love" out of the equation because they already charted before and it'd be especially strange if they disappeared in this context. You can almost say that it was limited to just the new songs and prior singles except that "New Romantics" has been swapped out for "Wonderland" (I'm led to believe that "Bad Blood" just missed the top 50 as it only included points from the Kendrick Lamar version. Combined it would probably be around #8. The biggest casualty of this is "All You Had To Do Was Stay" which probably landed between "Wildest Dreams" and "Shake It Off", and she's missing 8 songs all up I think. Or perhaps the true casualty of this whole situation is Lewis Capaldi, who got booted from the top 50 again allowing Glass Animals to dubiously shave another week between the two, with just a 5 week gap. "Someone You Loved" actually reached 3 years (157 weeks) last time it was in the top 50, while "Heat Waves" will be trying to manage that consecutively. It's having some trouble finding its footing again though so it's hard to say at the moment if it'll manage. If both songs fall out for good, they've got a solid year at least before The Killers or Fleetwood Mac could possibly catch up. As for the top end of the chart, that's also quite a race. I expect Taylor Swift to hold again but it's been back and forth on Spotify between "Paint The Town Red" and "greedy" for who gets #1 in the aftermath. It probably won't be The Beatles in case you were wondering. I assume their sales are good but the streams are unimpressive. They'll make the top 50 but I won't begin to predict it. Otherwise basically nothing else happened this week. Australia never gets quite as invested in Halloween (although "Thriller" would've made top 50 on Spotify for the first time this year under less irregular competition). In any case we have a more stacked Bubbling Under chart again, and perhaps we will again next week as "What Was I Made For?" and "Rush" both retire. Of course I only mean stacked in a numerical sense, clearly there aren't new, budding hits to be seen here. I will shock nobody to tell you that Taylor Swift has a #1 album this week. I might shock you to say that according to ARIA's social media, this is her biggest single week sales ever. It does beg the question of what the future holds for "1989 (Taylor's Version)" with respect to "1989". We've nearly got the first crack in the armour as "Blank Space (Taylor's Version)' is only 11,000 streams ahead of "Blank Space" and pacing to fall behind this week. Previous instances with "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" have seen the original versions evicted from the chart permanently on release week, but "1989" only has a notable but modest decline this week. Notably this also means that I'm now teaching you that "÷" is the best charting album of all time in Australia and "1989" is a somewhat distant second, but if it sticks around in the top 50 it might eventually take the lead. "÷" has actually had a bad showing this year, hitting a new non-December low this week and teetering on the edge of no longer being a top 50 mainstay. It dropped out for 1 week on Christmas last year so it's not unbroken. With that in mind, maybe "1989" can still keep up the pace. On a similar note, Dua Lipa's new single couldn't be coming at a better time as "Future Nostalgia" hits a new low of #49 to just barely stay in. Similarly, we can't be sure how much longer "Dance The Night" will hang around, but it's helping her still be the only artist to be in the top 50 singles chart every single week of the 2020s so far. Actually next week it'll be 4 consecutive years all up, yes, "Don't Start Now" is that old. In the non-Taylor Swift tangents, I have to say I'm surprised to see that otherwise The Rolling Stones and blink-182 would've maintained their positions on last week, as they've managed to beat the 25th album (not an exaggeration) by King Gizz. I'm also hearing good things about the new Angie McMahon album which becomes her second top 10 album. triple j actually nominated it for album of the year before this chart even came out, which is the sort of speedy adjudication I think more industries should get behind. Otherwise of note this week, Laufey makes the top 50 for the first time thanks to the vinyl release. That's an album I have heard and I thought it was pretty good. It also means I can more officially add her to the collective of surprisingly loads of artists from Iceland who have found success in Australia despite a population of less than half a million and being one of the furthest away countries from us. According to a Sporcle quiz, only a bunch of countries in Central America and the upper parts of South America are further. The big winner is St. Kitts & Nevis

Billie Eilish It's not over yet. It definitely will be next week but it's a mystery as to who it goes to. One would think that Tate McRae finally gets over that Doja Cat hurdle this week, but she does so with awful timing because Jack Harlow's coming in hot. With the momentum he's on right now, I should think he'll get there, but it's not a guarantee. The other notable thing that happened this week is that The Beatles made the top 10. I don't know if you believe in the idea of satanic messages in their music, but I will tell you that their last three singles, "Free As A Bird", "Real Love" and now this one, all peaked at #6. Don't think I'm not onto that. Jung Kook also gets a debut and re-entry this week. Jung Kook also gets a debut on the album chart and it's not enough to get to #1. He has one of only two albums in the top 16 that hasn't already hit #1, the other being Post Malone. I discovered recently that there's now a deluxe version of the album that has basically all of his hits, and I'm guessing that's why it's charting higher than before. The only other arrival this week is Australian rock stalwarts The Mark Of Cain, who get only their 3rd ever top 50 album surprisingly. But maybe worth noting that they do contribute to proving me wrong from last week. Dua Lipa's new single didn't come in time and "Future Nostalgia" drops out of the top 50 for the first time ever. It was the second longest lasting album from debut in the chart until now. The longest lasting album remains "What You See Ain't Always What You Get".

This week Jack Harlow gets a second #1 debut smash hit. I want to say that it was pretty close when I was writing about it last week but he pretty much ran away with it by the end of the week. In a very "Moves Like Jagger" type move, it happens on the very week that "greedy" finally manages to overcome "Paint The Town Red". Part of why Jack Harlow had to work for it at the end of the week is that he didn't even have the highest debut on Spotify at the start of the week. He was only #12 behind Dua Lipa's "Houdini" which just like on the ARIA Chart, debuted at #7. The future looks dicey for it though as it's getting dangerously close to falling behind "Dance The Night" on each platform. How good is that Foster The People song though? Remember 5 years ago when Noah Kahan had a song become a long lasting hit due to extremely generous Spotify promotion? As of this week, "Hurt Somebody" is not his highest charting song. Troye Sivan has two top 50 re-entries this week, which coincides with a pretty good night at the ARIA Awards for him. I'm skeptical of the correlation though considering that the ARIA Awards are on a Wednesday night which give very little time to produce eligible streams to impact the chart, gone are the days when you could actually tell the ARIA Awards happened by looking at the chart. Taylor Swift's reign on the album chart continues for a 3rd week. "1989" originally managed 9 weeks at the top, but perhaps the sky's the limit this time around. Once again the dedicated following of K-Pop shows itself with the highest debut this week being Stray Kids. This is the second time this year they've landed at #2. Remember earlier this year when there was a lot of talk about hip-hop's diminishing impact where the main citation was the lack of #1 albums, completely ignoring how much of that was just the result of Morgan Wallen styling on everyone? Anyway it's interesting that I believe BTS are still the only K-Pop group to go to #1 despite so many getting close in recent years. There's more K-Pop up here too because Jung Kook is on The Kid Laroi's debut album which enters at #3. He did of course get to #1 with his mixtape, but let's not give up hope. Until this year, Troye Sivan's only #1 was his EP. Let the record show that The Beatles did not score a new peak, but merely replicated their 1993 peak. Also isn't it interesting that the gap in popularity between Blue Version & Red Version has increased quite a bit in 30 years? Chris Stapleton narrowly scores his highest ever debut this week at #13. Chris of the Brown variety is somewhat low by his usual top 10 standards. Of his regular releases, only his debut and the absolutely rejected "Graffiti" charted lower. One must respect the extremely supporting Perth music scene. Everyone knows everyone, I'm only a degree of separation from knowing Old Mervs personally. They haven't even put out an album, they're getting their first entry here with just an EP. Lastly I must warn you that just like my offhand remark about a Foster The People song that isn't "Pumped Up Kicks", I'm about to get extremely Australian millennial on y'all. Probably the most peculiar debut on this week's chart comes from Hilltop Hoods. If the ominous title isn't indicative enough, yes, it's one of those albums. Yes, it doesn't actually have a physical release. In fact this album didn't even exist a week ago. If Spotify and iTunes are to be trusted, it first turned up online on Wednesday. That's 6 days into the tracking week and means that without a shed of doubt, streams are being applied to an album that didn't even exist when the streams happened. Hilltop Hoods' only acknowledgement of this release comes via so far three YouTube shorts just playing 30 second snippets of songs with a linktree to the release, the first of which came on Thursday. I am currently very convinced that Suffa, Pressure & DJ Debris have no interest in this and might not even know it exists, but we need to save the album chart from going bare on Australian artists so this can tide it over perhaps. But, the greatest crime about this compilation is the name in combination with the tracklist. Apart from a surprise inclusion of "Rattling The Keys To The Kingdom", the entire tracklist is just their newest singles and most streamed singles (I guess they also left out "A Whole Day's Night" as a recent single, but understandably so). What this means that if you witnessed the Hilltop Hoods uprising of the mid 2000s, you will be baffled to know that this compilation has just 1 song from "The Calling" (no points for guessing), and NOTHING from "The Hard Road". I can't think of a good example but like imagine if there was a Beatles highlights compilation that ignored "Revolver" and "The White Album". Or a Kasabian compilation that had just "Club Foot" from their first two albums. Like I'm not saying that I expect "Stopping All Stations" to make the cut, but the title track for "The Hard Road" is like a signature song that unlike Marlon Brandon has only gotten better with age. It's a bloody outrage it is. In any case it arrives on a pretty packed week so I expect it'll reach a higher peak in the future.

Don't expect anything less than 9 years old to contest this in the near future. Tate McRae gets another entry in the top 20 which seems steady for the time being. For the main story of the week, I have to note that Australia has a perpetual discourse around the words 'National Tour'. Given the prohibitive bother of travelling to the slightly more remote population centres of the country, it's often fancy speak for 'East Coast Tour' or 'Melbourne, Sydney and maybe Brisbane Tour'. I do wonder how much more live music I would see if I didn't live on the wrong side of this country. At least Alvvays are coming here in a couple of weeks. But also last week with thanks to the hand of TourismWA, Coldplay did an Australian tour with an itinerary consisting of just playing a show in Perth. They did announce east coast shows about a year from now but not until after they pranked a bunch of people into flying 3000km over. In any case the circumstances has brought a bunch of Coldplay songs back (I suspect "Yellow" isn't being counted properly as it should be closer to "Viva La Vida", but at least it's now on the system). Last time Coldplay had some songs re-enter the chart, it was when they performed at a bushfire relief concert in 2009. By sheer coincidence there was a bushfire like 2km away from where I live in the past week so now I have to associate the two I suppose. Back in 2014 I came up with what I'm retroactively calling the Hozier rule. What it means is that when something gets globally successful in the streaming era, no level of overexposure in territories it's already been a hit will prevent it from having a second run, the kind of which that implies everyone forgot it was already a hit. This is notedly different to pre-streaming where you might see a half-hearted bounce back at most. "Rude" by MAGIC! was a big hit here about 6 months before the rest of the world and did not return to the chart when it became a Hot 100 #1. Recent developments make me wonder if I should revise this rule, given the pillow of equilibrium streams that most/all past hits receive. This is to say that now something that becomes a hit twice will actually be a bigger hit in the established territory since there are already people listening to it every week. This long ramble is just to note that Ocean Alley are back in the top 50 with "Confidence", and charting higher here than anywhere else, except for New Zealand because what is "Confidence" except the exact sort of thing they love there (though one must note that it's also 4xPlatinum over there). But of course then, commercial radio never really played the song despite being a rare Australian top 10 hit, and anyone using TikTok wasn't even born yet in 2018 so I guess it is a completely new song to a lot of people. I personally made a mission to have an iTunes collection of every Hottest 100 entry ever back in 2012 which meant I made a deal with the devil to eventually purchase 14 different Ocean Alley songs and counting ("Touch Back Down" and "Deepest Darkness" were done of my own volition though). Back on topic we now have an absurd 6(!) Australian songs in the top 50 as The Kid LAROI sneaks in with "Bleed". This gives us a 9th Australian song to debut this year, but tragically we remain stable with only 4 different artists. None of the nominees for Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards this year had a top 50 hit. Chillinit has the highest debut this week. If you're thinking 'haha, 420', then yes it's absolutely intentional and it's even in the name of his self-run subsidiary label. I did not know the Australian Dermot Kennedy vinyl market existed but gets him a big new peak (originally #37). Dolly Parton charts with a non-Christmas non-compilation album for the first time in quite a many years, although back in 2016 she made the top 10. The vinyl market extends to Evanescence and Cold Chisel, where actually Cold Chisel had the best selling vinyl of the three. I would recycle my classic 'it's the album with' bit except Last Stand is a live album so it's basically the album that has all of the songs you're thinking of.

There's not much to note this week except for our latest chapter of funny stuff happening on the ARIA Chart that no one except me seems to care about. We've got some Christmas songs re-entering this week, except they're not just re-entering, they're re-appearing from the void, because they weren't on the ARIA survey last week. This mostly doesn't really affect the top 50 except I suspect Mariah Carey probably would have made the top 50 last week and now I don't know. The interesting thing here is that Brenda Lee is in the top 50 this week, whereas the equivalent top 50 week last year had Michael Buble instead. Brenda Lee did eventually climb to #2 last year but this is an early changing of the guard. It might be more about the strength of the surrounding songs but Mariah Carey is slightly lower than last year, Wham! are in the same position.

Attempts at a Christmas takeover have been slightly thwarted, although Mariah Carey is slightly higher on the chart than she was on the equivalent chart last year. Jack Harlow looks solid to keep the top spot again next week but the chart week that hasn't even started yet is up for grabs, who knew? The big winner of Christmas this week is Kelly Clarkson who charts a week earlier than before. If she can somehow maintain this position, a top 10 placing is in the cards. Otherwise there's a new Taylor Swift song which will at least get a second week in the top 50. The Bubbling Under chart has gotten a lot bigger this week which is putting it quite a distance away from the top 50 at this point. "1989" gets a 6th or 15th week at #1. It seemed far away before but maybe overtaking the original reign is on the cards. Post Malone touring Australia again is getting his compilation just that little bit higher to #3, and speaking of compilations, Coldplay's live in Argentina album has apparently been vanquished from the chart, so congrats to everyone who gets to spend those weeks at #50 or #100 they otherwise wouldn't have. If that feels so unnatural, we've got Peter Gabriel too. It's his first solo entry in over 2 decades. Lastly I just love the fact that a Wiggles album has the term 'OG' in it.

"Lovin' On Me" is #1 for a 5th week. Typically Christmas music has been overperforming based on Spotify so it's possible Mariah Carey could get there next week. Also I am slightly suspicious of Bobby Helms dropping so dramatically this week. Also also "Something In The Orange" got a new peak this week and "Hey Driver" hit the top 50 for the first time. Zach Bryan was in the country and all that.

It won't be next week, but Jack Harlow knows what it's like to interrupt the reign of a long running smash hit so now he gets to be on the other side of it. Naturally I expect Mariah Carey to be #1 although it is worth noting that she's never actually had the most streamed song on Spotify, the moment she finally got to #1 was also the moment that Brenda Lee's second version asserted her in front, but I suspect performance on other platforms will seal it. An interesting fact I discovered last night is that last year on Christmas Eve was actually the first time "All I Want For Christmas Is You" hit #1 on iTunes, and while historically the song has been completely muscled out of the chart in the two days following it, it took until around midnight after Boxing Day before she was finally unseated on iTunes. I'm writing this on the evening of the 27th of December and she's still #7. Unlike in the UK I expect the fall off to be so drastic that there'll be no remnants left on the following chart. I also warn of a potential shitshow next week because you better believe that the unreliable vetting process that allows for debuts applies to Christmas music. Coldplay have been screwed out of a chart position for "Christmas Lights" so many times now. If Spotify is to be treated as gospel, we could see top 50 debuts next week for Perry Como, Cher & Jonas Brothers, everyone's faves. There's also a non-Christmas portion of the chart this week as JID scores his second ever top 50 hit. I certainly remember listening to his album about a year ago and seeing that it made sense "Surround Sound" was the most popular song on it but I was eternally distracted due to how well I know the sample via "Ms. Fat Booty". Pains me to say that I have another "Doin' Time" here where I just can't assess it on the same level as everyone else. "1989 (Taylor's Version)" is #1 for an 8th week, that's just one less than the original version. In any case it means that Taylor Swift does what she does best which is stop local artists from getting the spotlight. I will duly spend much more of this column talking about Violent Soho. I think this is justified though because there isn't nearly enough writing about Australian music, and certainly not enough about late 2000s/early 2010s Australian music. Like I can't believe an absolute banger like "Cop Pop" by The Cops only has 23K streams on Spotify, but I digress. Violent Soho are a band that have been around since I was still in school, but they really made a name for themselves in 2013 with this album. It wasn't an instant hit despite debuting in the top 10, it was off the chart 2 weeks later, but it had a secret weapon in the single "Covered In Chrome". Tapping into the primal appeal of the phrase 'hell f**k yeah' and then having a chorus that consists of just the word 'yeah' 15 times in a row, it's become their signature song. They had their victory lap with their next two albums which both went to #1, and now thanks to the vinyl re-release, "Hungry Ghost" has a new peak of #2. The new version has some previously unreleased tracks (I'm quite fond of "Home Haircut" at the moment) but doesn't remedy the injustice of excluding "Tinderbox" and "Neighbour Neighbour" from the tracklist, two great but stranded singles they put out about a year before it in 2012. But it's not the only seminal album of my upbringing to get a re-release this week as we've also got a decent re-entry for Bliss N Eso. You could call "Flying Colours" their big breakout album ("Day Of The Dog" is before my time so I don't really have a good feel for its success. Wikipedia calls it the first Australian hip-hop album to debut in the top 50 but I feel like 1200 Techniques are getting shafted here, while it's also a feat completely swamped a month later when Hilltop Hoods debuted at #1), it's one that has a lot of songs I know well. To this day the phrase 'happy in my hoody on a Friday' lives rent free in my head on a weekly basis. Also to show my age of musical knowledge, "Eye Of The Storm" was one of the first songs I ever knew that flagrantly sampled a recent song I also knew, this being Angus & Julia Stone's "Paper Aeroplane". I'm more favourable to the sampling nowadays. Also "The Sea Is Rising" and "Woodstock 2008" are such bangers I didn't appreciate at the time. Now I sit and wait until I am presented an opportunity to rant endlessly about the significance of Midnight Juggernauts or theredsunband. Oh and this is only the second time Ed Sheeran's "÷" has left the top 50, in case you were wondering.

Firstly I included 2022 positions to contextualise everything, I find it the most interesting thing to do especially as so many songs/albums turn up year after year. I also included dropouts for the albums list because there aren't actually that many of them. I didn't do it for the singles chart but I will note that this year is a first time miss for long time runners "Dance Monkey", "Shallow", "Head & Heart" & "Be Alright", as well as "Say You Won't Let Go" post-revival (it missed the 2018 & 2019 lists but hit everything else 2016-2022). The highest song on last year's list to miss out is "Where Are You Now" which was #7. Also all credits appear as they do on the website, typos are mine. In case you were wondering, it appears that ARIA have cut it off by including up to the 01/01/2024 chart. Thanks to Rush for helping me deduce this. If they had included an additional week on the chart, it is likely that "About Damn Time" would have been pushed out to make way for "Lover". Anyway, it would take a fairly incredulous cut off to prevent "Flowers" from being overtaken this year. "Last Night" has proven more enduring for now but it had no hope in catching up in time, akin to the LMFAO/Gotye battle of 2011. There is some arbitrary data as you might have guessed. "Riptide"'s fairly impressive finish comes despite it missing the first 4 months of the year, as far as I can tell getting 0 sales for all of those weeks. On the other side, "Miss You" had a mysterious tracking error a few months ago and has received severely diminished streaming data counted ever since, which has probably shoved it down about 10 spots if I were to guess. As I noted last year, "Sweater Weather" also had an incomplete tracking year last year, so even though it's not charting as high as it was then, it has managed to make the list this time. On a similar note, yes, "Everlong" and "Money Trees" have never made the list before, while the most spectacular entry is probably Morgan Wallen's "Wasted On You". This song has never even appeared on the ARIA website until now (which is why it's missing artwork on the list ) and is now by far the lowest charting song to ever make the EOY, it peaked at #78. Dean Lewis has the newest Australian anything to make either of these lists with his 2022 single "How Do I Say Goodbye". The next highest Australian song was "You Shook Me All Night Long" which hasn't made the top 100 all year. "Perfect" has now made the list 7 years in a row ("Shape Of You" missed 2020's list), but so far in 2024 it's off to a slow start so it might not make it again. Way too early to call though. A lot of people will bemoan the state of the album chart. You might think Taylor Swift is only so high because of frantic streaming fans, but hold the phone bozo, because on the vinyl end of year chart she has the entire top 4 to herself. For the second year in a row, her late year release manages to catch up to the encumbent success that had a whole year to build up a lead. This time that encumbent is herself. The fickle stream assignment gods cause Foo Fighters to swap out their album, and similarly you should wave goodbye to Coldplay's live album because it won't be here next year I suspect. There are only 4 Australian albums this time around and they're all down on last year. The highest new Australian album was from Kylie Minogue, though I'm not sure if she was particularly close. We might have some new blood next year as Troye Sivan's still doing well, while the Michael Gudinski album that includes passive streams from "Riptide" and "The A Team" etc may just hang around as well. Suffice to say though that this is what happens when most Australian albums only chart for a single week. Also I marked Pink Floyd as a new entry just because I couldn't find certain proof they'd made the ARIA list before (half a year charting in 1993 couldn't do it) since ARIA doesn't go back to the 1970s, where I'm sure they did make it.
