"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" is #1 for a second week. You know what they say, the chart is very equilibrium based so once you get to the top spot, it's hard to naturally be unseated. This flies in the face of the very rapid turn around at the top lately but I posit that in the past month there hasn't been much in the way of that constant stream of new smash hits. You may have forgotten that the Bubbling Under section exists in this thread, as it's gone AWOL for 10 weeks straight, to the point that the bottom song on the New Music chart has often been in the top 30 lately! That might be changing soon as the crop of new hits that ushered in this era are all about to age out of it. "i like the way you kiss me", "Too Sweet" and "Slow It Down" are all leaving it this week. Eminem's new album should fill in the gaps next week but I can't say for sure they'll be sticking around. There's not much else to talk about this week. We've got a handful of debuts, it's a first time on the chart for BabyTron, but in keeping with the chart slow down, none are especially zooming up the chart right now. Yes it is very funny that "360" actually managed to debut 2 weeks after I thought it wasn't going to. Billie Eilish returns to #1 for a 5th week. Zach Bryan still can't make the stars align. His self-titled album entered at #2 behind a re-issue, now he's stuck still unable to match the lingering streams of these two months old albums. If you're a fan of neat little patterns and I'm sure you are, then you'll be delighted to know that all of last week's debuts dropped out of the top 50, and nothing else. I don't think that will happen again next week but we also only have two debuts. For the other one, if you ever want to make a throwaway joke about an artist who keeps changing their stage name but don't want to talk about that guy anymore, then I present Eves Karydas because it's the 4th name she's put out music under. I'm actually surprised to realise that this is her first top 50 album because I would've guessed her previous album entered in the top 10 but I digress. I'm going to digress even further because it presents me an opportunity to highlight the state of the industry in a way that's judgemental to you, strawman. Eves was signed to a major label in 2014. She never really hit it big but her early singles did pretty well on the iTunes chart, and a couple more since then have gotten certifications. In 2022 she posted an essay on Instagram about her experience as a woman in the music industry. About how she was essentially forced to objectify herself to be marketable and would spend more time working on that than actually making music. Definitely worth a read and worth doing some self-reflection as to whether or not you are more likely to listen to music made by a woman if she's physically attractive and whether you're a cog in that supposedly sexist music industry that is equally just reciprocating the whims of its buyers. She ended the post by announcing that she was going independent, and she has done so for this album with no label or manager. As literally the only Australian album in the top 50 this week, this can be seen as a success I think. here is just some songs from women I've been enjoying recently. I don't do much parasocial media so I mostly don't know what they look like. Your favourite pop star is not going to ever be romantically linked to you, I'm sorry. Also if you feel slighted by this strawman, I apologise. But to re-iterate, it's very valuable to self-reflect on these things, I know I have. Oh and Teddy Swims is currently in the country. That's why his album re-entered and he's gonna climb even more next week.

Back in 2019 it seemed as though the 24 week reign of "Dance Monkey" was a sign of the times going forward. 2024 seems to disagree because we've had 11 different #1 hits in about the same time frame. Maybe this is our new song to break this trend in the same way, just being slightly ahead of the competition for an extended period. Billie Eilish has started to dethrone him on Spotify, but Apple & iTunes are gonna require a much bigger margin to make it over the line. Eminem arrives with many new entries this week. With 13 songs in the top 50, it's the most he's ever simultaneously charted, but in 2018 he actually managed more debuts at once, with 12 new entries that week. My interesting anecdote of this is that "Guilty Conscience" actually never charted in Australia back in the day, so if you were simply following the top 50 without any outsider influence, you'd have no clue what this song is supposed to be a sequel to. You might not even know that the music video (but not the album version) has narration from the iconic Robert Culp. What's your favourite Columbo performance from him? Mine has got to be "Double Exposure" for the quintessential cat-and-mouse game that it is. The scene where he avoids implicating himself by driving to a not-yet-revealed murder location gets me every time. Ice Spice also debuts this week and for the first time ever, she has the first name on a charting entry. Sadly Australian music listeners are not even the fart, much less the shit. Also remember last week when I said that the Bubbling Under chart was on the verge of returning? This week was a massive boon in that as the bottom song on the New Music chart is #43 this week, with only 1 further eligible song in the top 50. Eminem might clear some space next week, but he's also contributing strongly to that chart so it might just cancel out in a couple of weeks. Eminem scores his 11th #1 album this week. You may also be willing to call it his 12th #1 album if you include the "8 Mile" soundtrack, but I'll leave that up to you. The mass exodus of his tracks on the streaming charts suggests a relatively short stay but he's probably good for a second week at least. In what can only be described as a massive plot twist, Clairo who has never made the top 50 before, now arrives at #4. This means that I've never had the chance to put a dreadfully bad joke in this column that causes everyone to walk out the door with their bags. Or to extend my fascination of how much Claire Rosinkranz's "don't miss me" sounds like a parody version of her fellow Claire's recently released "Amoeba". Anyway I need to get around to listening to this album because I heard an album track from it on the radio the other day that sounded pretty good but I don't remember what it was called. Anyway, this week's ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN CONTENT comes in threes, and somewhat different threes but also not really. It's not often that an Australian artist can surpass the tall-poppy syndrome (or the 'who?' syndrome) of our online comment sections, but there is genuinely quite a bit of enthusiasm for the hardcore group Speed. They had a top 5 EP a couple of years ago and now have a top 10 album. Also this week, I have often lamented the fact that the Australian hip-hop canon in the charts kind of just stopped building after around 2014, or just when The Kid LAROI decided to stop rapping. Anyway, we do have the return of Complete this week. Back in 2019 he had a #12 album, which has a song with 47 million plays on Spotify, real Hilltop Hoods numbers. He doesn't have that viral hit around this time but he does return to the top 50 this week. Lastly there's In Hearts Wake sneaking through. A Far cry from their frequent top 5 appearances but we take what we can get nowadays. In the midst of this, Griff & Cigarettes After Sex make their first appearances. Wouldn't have guessed they'd be in that order but whaddaya know.

The threat of Billie Eilish getting to #1 is slightly more pronounced this week as she's actually #2 now, but still doesn't seem to be slimming the margin fast enough to get there next week. The top 15 seems to be incapable of receiving new hits lately so maybe she'll eventually benefit from lack of competition. Or maybe a new #1 hit will drop tomorrow? You just never know. On the other hand, it's so especially pronounced this week that we have zero debuts, just a few could've been debuts if they didn't already sneak in two weeks ago. The chart is almost a 1:1 of two weeks ago with all of Eminem's debuts dropping out and largely replaced by the songs he pushed out last week. Ironically one of his lowest entries last week, "Somebody Save Me", is now his second highest song, probably just outside of the top 50. It's all still enough for him to retain the #1 spot on the album chart for a second week. As every song from the album bar "Houdini" has left the Spotify top 200, I suspect Billie Eilish & Taylor Swift will retain their standings as the streaming giants doing the biggest numbers again and overtake him. Can never be totally sure if that's what gets to #1 though, because I never really know how big incoming debuts are gonna be. Maybe that's on me, because this is the 3rd time that Stray Kids have debuted at #2, putting them in rare air that might allow me to compare them to Radiohead if they do it again. Also this week, Glass Animals return with their highest charting album ever. Australia is the only country where all of their albums have made the top 20. Halfway to achieving that feat this week is TV Girl. A big rush of vinyl sales for their catalogue gives them their first ever chart appearances here, as two of their albums debut in the top 20. Jimin gets his first ever album chart entry, reaching the base appeal in Australia of the letters 'MUSE' in all-caps. We've got the increasingly rare treat of a new movie soundtrack to continue that time capsule, and also Childish Gambino is back with his latest curious pivot.

If you're looking for change, well you might get it next week. Billie Eilish continues to trim away at the lead and looks to be right in the mix next week. Alternatively we have the new debut chaos that's hard to predict so maybe Charli XCX will just debut at #1? Actually if you want to put maybes around, maybe she'll have 2 debuts next week. It has occurred to me that "Apple" still isn't on the ARIA Chart, maybe next week they'll do something about that. In any case, she'll certainly end that hegemony of the same songs in the top 15 we've had for months. If you need more proof, Post Malone can't quite debut in there this week. He seems to be driven by a strong sales week as the song only got to #24 on the Spotify chart. It's also the only debut we've had in the last 2 weeks. This means I'm once again teasing the possibility of the return of the Bubbling Under chart, but probably not next week. As I'm probably going to loudly edit into the subheader after I post this, 🚨🚨 AUSTRALIAN #1 ALBUM ALERT 🚨🚨. We have not had an Australian at #1 on either chart all year until now. Getting that honour is the 3rd album for Lime Cordiale. If you recall, their 2nd album also debuted at #1 and had an egregious number of singles that preceded it and ensured it a strong streaming fortune for months to come. This one also has a similar situation as it already has 5 triple j Hottest 100 entries on it. Ominously, only the title track is sitting in their top 6 tracks right now according to last.fm, so it's probably not going to hang around quite as long unless Americans decide it's really funny that there's a song called "Imposter Syndrome". Despite the rumours that they only ever made 2 songs, Empire Of The Sun return with their 4th album which maintains their run of hitting the top 10 with every one of them. I also tempted fate last week as we've now got 2 new soundtrack albums in the chart. One from Ghost, and yet another MCU one. I'm currently engaging in a slow Clockwork Orange-like experience of watching all of those MCU films for the first time so if there's still any life left in me, maybe I'll have a quippy remark about it next time.

Kendrick Lamar A huge week for Charli XCX. After registering 0 sales last week, "Apple" has managed to jump right into the top 20 in a near unprecedented sales acceleration for a song that's been out for 2 months. Also "Guess" is at #1. For those who are interested in that sort of thing, I can personally guarantee that Billie Eilish was not credited when the chart first dropped on Friday afternoon but at some point since then she's been added to that, so now she can only blame herself for blocking herself. As the first week sales calm down, it's possible that "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" could grab the top spot next week, but still too close to call with 3 days left to go. Hanumankind & Kalmi both burst into the top 20 this week. It's the sort of entry that has you wondering who the highest charting Indian artist is until you remember that A.R. Rahman had a #1 single in 2009. I can't believe I'm doing this in back to back weeks but I must once again subject you to 🚨🚨 AUSTRALIAN #1 ALBUM ALERT 🚨🚨. I also must issue a warning to anyone who makes it part of their personality to become a raging sociopath that has to remind everyone that they really don't like a song that came out over 5 years ago that Tones And I has a second #1 album. Fortunately I haven't seen too much of that recently. This one doesn't seem to be linked with NFTs either, hurrah! This week also has huge news for Australian men in their 40s. Not only are Carlton temporarily out of the 8 (lol), but there's a new collaborative album from Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey. If you don't fall roughly into that age group, then I'll let you know that Bernard Fanning is from Powderfinger, probably the highest selling band domestically in the last 30 years, and Paul Dempsey is from Something For Kate, who are not the highest selling band domestically in the last 30 years but they are probably one of the best, and Paul is possibly the tallest man in Australian music. Notably, Something For Kate have never won an ARIA Award and they probably have Powderfinger to blame for snatching them in their stead. No bad blood then obviously. Once upon a time, Dune Rats were at #1 with a self-deprecating album title. This week they're at #29 with a self-deprecating album title. Also imagine telling someone in 2019 that Khalid would soon only barely debut ahead of a month old Clairo album. Lastly we've got Allday scoring his 6th top 50 album, which also contributes to the shocking chart moment as Luke Combs' second album has finally fallen out of the top 50 for the first time ever. This means that "folklore" is now the longest charting album to have never dropped out. Pretty wild considering it was sitting at #49 on the chart 2 years ago. ARIA have also swung an axe to the CCR compilation after about a year of just chilling on the chart.

Most of that has happened so far for "BIRDS OF A FEATHER", notably the important part of getting to #1. Billie Eilish is technically replacing herself at #1, which hasn't happened on the singles chart since Drake did so in 2018, with "God's Plan" and "Nice For What" as you'd expect. Taylor Swift also did this twice on the album chart this year in permutations that you have no reason to recall. Belatedly we've got a re-entry for NSYNC. If they were on last week's chart, I could've said that this week's top 35 is the same as last week's top 35 in a slightly different order. But wait, the chart isn't that boring, we've got an actual debut. From Chase & Status no less, who I have it on good authority have never charted in Australia before now. The significant different commercial viability of drum & bass is usually one of the key differences between Australia and New Zealand's charts, even today. Gracie Abrams also has a new entry. I apologise if anyone finds the emojis overbearing but I didn't expect I'd have to be hoisting them for a 3rd week in a row. 🚨🚨 AUSTRALIAN #1 ALBUM ALERT 🚨🚨. Amy Shark becomes the latest artist to continue their #1 album streak in spite of diminished returns on the singles chart. She's gone one better than the other two as she's got 3 #1 albums now. She leads a week of what must be the most Australian content we've gotten all year. 6 albums in the top 50, that's almost halfway to the quota that we're supposed to be getting. Though she's not directly responsible for it, Amy Shark getting to #1 means that Grinspoon continue their run of never being able to get there. I remember them having an interview on the radio over a decade ago (uh oh) that they had a habit of constantly releasing against the wrong competition and not getting there, but they've only actually had two #2 albums. beabadoobee continues to re-write history into convincing people that maybe she gave Powfu a hit with her own influence as she scores her first ever top 10 album. Then we go back to Australian artists without a #1 album, I'd say how many King Gizz are up to but it might go out of date by the time I hit 'Add reply'. Also debuting this week are the Australian trio 3% with their first album. There's three of them but also 3% is roughly the percentage of Australians who are Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders. Just the other day I was thinking about how I don't see many football references in Australian music lately but the album cover re-creates Nicky Winmar's iconic shirt lift from 1993. Speaking of Indigenous Australians, The Kid LAROI also returns with his most recent album boosted by some more tracks. In case you were wondering, "NIGHTS LIKE THIS PT. 2" was not combined otherwise he'd be a bit higher on the singles chart this week. At #27 this week is the first album from DICE, who are not only from Western Australia but my support worker has played with them on occasion so I have a conflict of interest when I say I think they're pretty good. Lastly Calvin Harris enters with an album that will potentially drop very, very slowly. Also remember when I said that Luke Combs had the longest charting album without dropping out until it dropped out? There's a secondary version of that because Elton John's "Diamonds" has spent the most weeks in a row on the chart at present on a re-entry. By dropping down to #40, it's the lowest position it's been in over 5 years, so maybe it's at risk as well.

The Southern River Band 49 46 024 01 ETERNAL SUNSHINE Ariana Grande 50 58 145 01 RED (TAYLOR'S VERSION) Taylor Swift "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" is #1 for a 2nd week in a row. I do not think it will be #1 next week but I can't say for sure what will replace it. I suspect it could be any of three songs by a certain Saffron City gym leader with a penchant for woodwork. This week's chart gives a good argument to say that it could be "Taste" though because arriving in the top 10 this week is Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, who spent the first two days of the week at #76 and #43 on Spotify, adding to my recent feeling that something has changed in the system to help debuts get a better impression than they once did (it may be YouTube). I neglected to mention last week but isn't it interesting that 7 of the top 8 have gone to #1? Also isn't it interesting that "Apple" definitely debuted at #18, and has spent its entire chart run at that position. She's got a long way to go to match the funny chart run moments of LunchMoney Lewis or Mumford & Sons. Not much else to note except for Mark Ambor being on fraud watch. We have gotten very close to returning the classic Bubbling Under segment though. "WILDFLOWER" is #20 on the New Music chart this week leaving very little space to hide, and perhaps next week's chart shake up could get us there. Cold Chisel score their 6th #1 album this week with a compilation. I will never stop my tradition of blurting out 🚨🚨 AUSTRALIAN #1 ALBUM ALERT 🚨🚨 until maybe next week probably. It gives me the opportunity to point out that when I say Jimmy Barnes has more #1 albums than anyone else, I'm not even including these 6 albums in the tally, and it also gives me the opportunity to say yes, that Jimmy Barnes, the cowboy screaming in the clouds guy. It means that once again, Post Malone is denied a #1 album, still only having two to his name from the 2010s. If you take a shot at the king, you best not miss. Also entering this week is Melbourne trio Telenova. They've been putting out some pleasantly catchy singles for several years now (big fan of "Tranquilize" and "Why Do I Keep You?" myself). I am less familiar with The Southern River Band despite the fact that they're from the same city as me in Perth, but they also sneak through to get their first ever entry.

Also for the first time in many months, we have a Bubbling Under chart again. It's not much right now but expect it to grow in the coming weeks.

Don't expect that to change any time soon. It is receding back to the pack, but it could do that for weeks and go unchallenged. The interesting one to note in the Sabrina Carpenter affairs is "Bed Chem" which manages to climb into the top 10 on its second week, and is generally holding pretty steady even in its 3rd week. Perhaps greater hit potential in the pipeline. I didn't get a chance to say last week that "The Door" is sneaking into the top 50 with help from the points provided by the CYRIL remix, but it's getting pretty close to the point where I'd say that it could get there without it. Gigi Perez scores a first top 50 hit. I don't have anything to say on that but it should keep climbing next week. Once again the Bubbling Under expands. We're gonna lose all of Billie Eilish's tracks next week so it's really gonna push the depths. As a bonus, we have a song that actually could be considered Bubbling Under, as The Kid LAROI comes through with "BABY I'M BACK". It doesn't look like it's gonna make the top 50 next week so I'll just say that this is a particularly Australian coded interpolation. Not just because the Player song "Baby Come Back" gets used memorably on The Simpsons, but also because Ocean Alley once covered the song for Like A Version and it was a particularly popular one. I wouldn't normally leap at the chance to promote international artists on an Australian entry, but I just have to point out how distracting the title is, as one of my favourite songs released last year is "BABY I'M HOME" by Odetari, Kanii & 9lives. Future classic I'm sure. Sabrina Carpenter is also #1 on the album chart for a second week. Once again we are robbed of an Australian artist at #1. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have had two #1 albums in the past. It's the only debut this week, but we are treated to a new peak with Oasis's re-release. Though it had a lengthy chart run, "Definitely Maybe" only peaked at #23. Improving to #10 this week, now every Oasis studio album has hit the top 10. Luke Combs also gets a proper physical release that sees him back in the top 50.

The previous comment about it not being challenged continues to be true, except now it's not even really catching back up to the pack, we could be here a while. If you're here for insightful and interesting Linkin Park takes, I don't have it. I haven't even listened to it yet. I can say that it's their first top 30 hit since 2009's "New Divide", following a run of 6 straight top 50 hits that didn't quite get that high. It's the only new entry this week too, but we should have some more next week too that I still haven't listened to. My excuse is that if labels are willing to screw over the midnight Australia market for their big deal releases then they have to face the microscopic consequence that I'll miss them on my New Music Friday listen throughs, tipping the scales with a pebble that will surely make them stop doing this. Anyway the Bubbling Under chart just got bigger again. It's done so in a very funny way because "Close To You" and "28" are actually debuts to this chart. Despite the former reaching #34 on the chart about 3 months ago, it never quite squeezed in. Now it's much lower and manages to get through. Hoist your klaxons because it's back, and I ain't talkin' about a Thomas Pynchon novel. I'm talking about 🚨🚨 AUSTRALIAN #1 ALBUM ALERT 🚨🚨, and this time it's a 4th #1 album for Missy Higgins. Famous for a style of singing that would probably not please Henry Higgins (although he does like a challenge), she hit #1 with ease with her first 3 albums. That was roughly 10-20 years ago and she's constantly not come close to the top since. She just performed "Scar" at triple j's One Night Stand concert with G Flip though so the nostalgia cycle is back, baby. You might actually also know that song even if you're not Australian, because it's the aggressively Australian song that gets slotted into The Axis Of Awesome's "4 Chords" song, and I bet I've made this exact same reference when one of her other albums has charted. Or to make this more modern and quickly dated, I guess we making triangles squeeze through circles now. After some mysterious circumstances where Fred again.. charted out of sync with the New Zealand charts (and very out of sync with the UK), he's back and charting ever-so-slightly higher than ever, this time at #3. David Gilmour also debuts in the top 10. 9 years ago Lana Del Rey stopped him from hitting #1. I forget what band he's from. Laufey gets yet another vinyl boost, while Vance Joy gets a minor one too. I say minor because he's always charting just a bit shy of the chart anyway, but this boost will keep him away from recurrency rules for a long while yet. Also I'm going to readily assume that there aren't any GWS Giants fans reading this and so I can safely say holy shit how good was the footy on the weekend?
