I neglected to mention last week but it's now Taylor Swift's longest reigning #1 hit ever. Short of a surprise boost though, I do think "Unholy" will probably unseat it next week, attempting to notch up as many weeks as it can until Mariah Carey does her thing, which is happening sooner than ever before because she's already in the top 50. She usually only spends 4-5 weeks in the top 50 but this year for the first time since the song's original release she's bumping it up to 6 weeks. In fact it's one of many Christmas songs that are severely surpassing their performance last year on Spotify, and coupled with an even more encompassing tracking week for Christmas this year, we're in for something major in a month. JVKE returns to the top 50 with a big new peak but regrettably for the second time, Hot Hits Australia have removed the song so it's gonna recede a lot so "Where Did You Go?" and "Following The Sun" can get their much needed push to continue. Rema also manages to sneak into the top 50 this week, bringing Selena Gomez back to the top 50 for the first time in 2 years. In fact, since first charting in 2009, she's had a top 50 hit in every year except 2012 & 2021. Taylor Swift is also #1 on the album chart for the 5th week in a row. It's harder to tell if she can retain this although she will have competition via a Christmas album from perennial #1 getter Jimmy Barnes next week. This week she fends off the vinyl re-release of Ed Sheeran's "=", while new entries for former #1 getters Nickelback & Disturbed are resigned to top 5. There are also vinyl pushes for Daniel Johns (again!) and Michael Jackson. Dermot Kennedy manages the exact #37 peak he scored in 2019 with his new album, and Dolly Parton has a Greatest Hits set which is probably not just based on streams but who knows what to expect in the Christmas season.

Next week Sam Smith might be in challenging range due to better digital sales and a rapidly shrinking streaming margin, hard to say. Meghan Trainor does indeed maintain that technically perfect run of top 10 hits. Otherwise it's a pretty quiet week though I have a theory on the Drake situation. ARIA has a form that labels use to submit tracks for inclusion on the survey. However, it is required that they fill it out before the tracking week begins, so I think what happened is Republic/Universal submitted all of the Drake/21 Savage tracks during the week (given the album was released mid-day Friday, perhaps there was not a sooner opportunity to do so), so they were unable to appear on the midweeks. ARIA however, with their loosely followed imperative to make sure not to overlook high chart entries, saw that the two had multiple top 10 streaming entries, and belatedly included these as they were compiling the chart. This week with the survey duly informed, all of the tracks on the album became fair game and based on the hip-hop chart, several of them charted, with "On BS" the only one to enter the top 50. The fact that these new entries are credited with comma separation indicates a different submission process to last week. It does however mean that their peak positions are largely meaningless/misleading which I'm sure chart historians will keep track of. Taylor Swift is also #1 on the album chart for a 4th week in a row, which is standard practice at this point. "folklore" and "evermore" managed the same, so she'll hit a new personal best in terms of unbroken reigns if she lasts another week. She fends off closest competitor Louis Tomlinson this week, who reaches a new non-1D career high of #2 this week. Some years ago Louis egged on his fans to cyberbully an Australian journalist. I assume he's grown up since then. Behind him is Bruce Springsteen who has a patchy chart history but usually ends up in the top 10 every couple of years. This week's vinyl boon goes to King Stingray, who you have to imagine could've managed a pretty nice peak if they had a multi-format release as they return to the top 10. They're nominated for multiple ARIA Awards tomorrow. Lastly there's a new album from Noiseworks which is notable to me because a single from it got to #1 on iTunes right when kworb's pop bars stopped working, and as that's still the first page Google Chrome auto-completes for me when I go there, I'm reminded that it exists very frequently :lol: Next week Nickelback & Disturbed battle for the top debut which I'm sure you're all eager to see the results of.

Not hip-hop but also this is not a first case for Tribe, The Low End Theory (which I imagine must be higher on this list) was released on the same day as "Nevermind" and "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"(!) Also I'll speak up as a defender of Endtroducing & Donuts, both classics :D

I am unsure if it has received the monumental pure sales boost it did in the US. Next week looks to be a little closer but I suspect it will hold #1 again. The big news of the week is the arrival of Drake & 21 Savage with 4 tracks in the top 10. The other big news of the week is the non-arrival of any other songs by Drake & 21 Savage in the top 50. As an added curiosity, today's midweeks have implied that "On BS" and "Spin Bout U" will arrive on the chart next week. This is not dissimilar to the rules of the New Zealand chart, although it's worth noting that these are probably the only two tracks left that would be able to debut in the top 50 this week, and of course if it were akin to the New Zealand chart, one must acknowledge that "Jimmy Cooks" is certainly still in the top 100 and so they would be limited to 3 debuts on this week. I'm most closely reminded of Travis Scott's "ASTROWORLD", where the only debuts allowed on week one were the top 10 finishers ("SICKO MODE" and "STARGAZING"), as well as the previous single "BUTTERFLY EFFECT" (although that wasn't let on the chart when it came out lol). The next week, every other track was allowed in although none were able to make the top 50. Elsewhere Joji scores a top 50 debut which I can use to highlight our state of affairs as this is the 10th top 50 hit by an Australian artist this year. This includes 2 by Dean Lewis, 2 by Joji, novelties from The Wiggles & Luude, as well as Brothers, Vance Joy and The Kid LAROI. The last one is R3HAB who is not Australian but ARIA decided to count the track as Australian in the middle of its run because of a co-credit from noted landlady & Kyle Sandilands associate Amy Shark. For the second time this year, Drake lands a debut at #2. It's a step up for 21 Savage who scores his highest ever debut. It is however also a diminished return for Joji & Dean Lewis who have both had #1 debuts. Slowly Slowly have a slight improvement from their last #7 debut to reach #5. Vika & Linda sneak into the top 50 with their new Christmas album which may climb, and we also get a curious debut for ABBA with their difficult to google bundle release "Studio Albums". To my knowledge it was released a decent while ago but 3 weeks ago someone decided that this is where all (some?) of ABBA's streams are going to go and now our mess of an ARIA Chart has a new favourite, coming to a 2023 EOY Album chart near you!

It's the first time since "Look What You Made Me Do" that Taylor Swift has managed more than 1 week at #1, and that's also the only other #1 debut of hers to do so. I think there's a strong chance it'll take the top spot again next week despite Sam Smith rebounding fast and Drake/21 Savage making a big splash. Also of note this week is Rihanna debuting in the top 5, which is her first top 10 hit since "Wild Thoughts" in 2017, but it's more funny to point out that her last solo top 10 hit was "Jump", which was basically only a hit in the antipodean parts. Also making a long awaited(?) return to the top 50 is Meghan Trainor, who actually has a notable stat that all of her top 50 hits have made the top 10 ("Better When I'm Dancin'" was a long running non-top 50 hit though). It looks like this one will eventually get there unless it runs out of steam, it's just waiting for the big releases to give it space to breathe. SZA also has a respectable debut behind her. On a regular week it'd have comfortably outpeaked her last hit "I Hate U" though it doesn't look like it'll pick up steam. The last debut this week is from JVKE who finally breaks through with "golden hour". It's been so long that it's managed to be put on and taken off Hot Hits Australia in the time it's bubbled under the top 50. Mostly I'm happy as a predictor(?) of hits because I downloaded it back in July and it's the first top 5 hit on my personal chart to make the ARIA top 50 since Mac Miller's "Good News". Also of note this week is that "Save Your Tears" drops out of the top 50, making this the first 2020s chart without The Weeknd in the top 50. Dua Lipa has however still been on the chart every week since "Don't Start Now" debuted in late 2019, but might be challenged by the Christmas chart. It is more obvious that Taylor Swift retains the #1 album position. Next week is a little harder to call but I suspect her stronger format coverage will fend off Drake & 21 Savage who will only beat her on streams but not by a lot. The Beatles' very good album "Revolver" (how's that for a hot take) returns to #2 via the vinyl release. The most peculiar instance of this though is King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, who keep managing to out-King Gizz themselves. This week they have 3 entries in the top 11, one of which first charted on digital sales but now comfortably gets a new peak. King Gizz still have never had a #1 album but they've hit the top 15 seventeen times. Foo Fighters debut in the top 5 with "The Essential" which is mostly interesting because under the ARIA system of manual stream allocation, it seems to have siphoned most of the streams of "Greatest Hits", which is one of the longest charting albums of all time, but based on the catalogue albums chart, has unceremoniously been booted from the top 100 and then-some perhaps. Fred again.. scores his first ever credited chart appearance in Australia, barring the many monster hits he's had a hand in. Sly Withers I must point out are one of the most West Australian bands ever as arguably their most popular song was named after Clarkson. They debut at #10 for the second year in a row.

Ah, the same tour I saw then. He actually played it twice in a row which is fair enough because it absolutely gets the people going. For me I say TPAB>GKMC>MMATBS>DAMN.>uu>S80 which is not really a bad word on any of them. Cannot fault DAMN. for lack of hits to make it easy to go back to, compared to say MM which is so dense and confronting that I need to be in the right mood for it. Also shout of appreciation for this thread I've been casually lurking for months now ^_^

Yeah I feel like there was a certain curiosity value behind it when it first dropped, but really, "Knife Talk" and "Fair Trade" and the biggest hits on that album (and much better songs).

I just finished listening to it and it's the least I've groaned at a Drake album since IYRTITL so it's got that going for it. 21 always delivers but Drake sounds more switched on than usual even if he's still pretty corny. I assume once someone's heard "Circo Loco" they'll bring that up to clown on the whole thing for the next year (I assume Drake does these things on purpose now to get people talking) but going to the chart forum to get useful feedback on rap music is not for me so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hot Hits Australia gonna love this

Facts, I even have this receipt from my teens that my reverence goes back that far :lol: Never did go to Reading sadly.

Patiently awaiting something from "Like Drawing Blood" to go viral so the rest of the world can appreciate how good it is (it was very revered/high selling in Aus years before STIUTK came out).

Taylor Swift scores her 9th #1 hit, and speaking of 9, has 9 songs in the top 10 this week, breaking Harry Styles' record he set earlier this year of 8. For another historic detail, I strongly suspect that this is the first ever top 10 without any male artists. "Snow On The Beach" equals the #3 peak of "Summertime Sadness" for Lana Del Rey in case you were wondering about that. Unlike most recent Taylor Swift #1 hits, "Anti-Hero" looks to stick the landing and stay there again next week. I wouldn't be surprised if she still has 6 or so tracks in the top 10 next week too. Everything else is down except for Imagine Dragons who squeak out a new peak, and I find it moderately interesting that "Levitating" and "Save Your Tears" manage to stick the landing and stay in the top 50, which I have to suspect relates to not having any Spotify top 50 streams to be snatched. Oh and I just remembered to note that the "3am" tracks on "Midnights" have not been included, despite being among the most downloaded tracks of the week. Taylor Swift also scores her 10th #1 album this week, every studio album since "Speak Now" getting to the top, plus the two "Taylor's Version"s thus far. Arctic Monkeys have to settle for second although unlike in the UK they never had a perfect record anyway, only getting to #1 with "AM" and the two with long titles. Beloved by Australians, Kylie's alternative rock phase album "Impossible Princess" scores a new peak thanks to a vinyl re-release, originally reaching #5. Andrea Bocelli scores his highest charting album since 1999(!), while Anthony Callea settles with his 5th top 10 with his tennis concept album [citation needed]. Architects' last album went to #1 but on this busier week they're stuck at #8. Alongside Kylie, there's also a slight new peak for Queens Of The Stone Age's self-titled album. We're also braced for Meghan Trainor's return to the top 50 singles chart next week, though this is considerably lower than her albums have charted in the past.

:basil:

Late to this but I always associate "Send Me On My Way" with it being in "Ice Age"

It's entirely possible the songs displaced from the Hot 100 by Lil Baby are still charting above "505" and such this week (they're ineligible to appear on the Hot 100, but apart from the songs made recurrent, the rest can all still return. And of course, several of those songs only went recurrent BECAUSE of Lil Baby). Perhaps one or two Bubbling hits would've charted, but compared to the Hot 100 itself, the Bubbling Under chart would hardly change either way.

In fairness, outside of preventing potential debuts at the bottom of the chart, a bunch of Lil Baby entries on the Hot 100 is not going to disrupt the Bubbling Under chart at all.

This is all purely speculation as it always is whenever a big new album comes along but if I had to guess, there are about 5-8 Taylor Swift songs that could outdo "Unholy" next week provided they're allowed on the chart. "Anti-Hero" will certainly lead the pack, and perhaps for more than one week as it holds a considerable lead over all songs that aren't by Taylor Swift. She currently has 20 of the top 40 positions on Spotify. But that's next week. This week sees southstar scoring his first ever top 5 hit. In case you were wondering, it would seem the version of the song that actually has his name on it is not getting its streams combined with the sped up version that briefly fluttered in the Spotify chart last week, which is why it's not in the top 50 this week. Imagine Dragons chart hits tend to come in 2's & 3's, so now "Bones" gets a chance and it may well hold on no matter how many Taylor Swift songs end up entering next week. Luck will sadly be less kind to the rest of the debuts. Lil Yachty scores his first ever lead artist chart entry period, and I must note an extreme coincidental observation you'll get from nobody but me. "Poland"'s official release was on October 11th, exactly 1 year after one of the most pivotal episodes of Jeopardy! taped, as it saw 38 day champion Matt's streak finally end to Jonathan who himself would win 11 games, while also-ran Jessica inspired and just won the first ever Second Chance competition and so they'll all be in the Tournament of Champions that airs next week. It was also the first episode made under the new, improved executive producer's tenure. The reason I bring all of this up is not just because I'm autistic and will do so whenever I get the chance but because Matt missed Final Jeopardy! in that game by responding with 'What is Poland?', leading many self-proclaimed Twitter experts to claim that he threw the game despite his response being completely immaterial to the result given the nature of the wagers. Perhaps Poland can share him some of their newly acquired wock as a consolation. Oh and also there's a new blink-182 song which is funnily enough their 3rd song to peak at #50 although I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 of them only got their due to inaccurately reported charts, if this happens two more times I might suspect ARIA of being in the pocket of big blink. This week's new #1 album is moderately funny if you're Australian. About a week ago The 1975's Australian tour dates were announced as reported by triple j, which Matty Healy QRT'd to call out the station for trying to claim clout over a band that they've historically not actually played (note: they have moderately played them since 2020 but literally never before that). He also said that their boss is a knob and that he'd rather bathe with his dad than do a Like A Version which has me wondering if he's had personal interactions or if he's one of the many people who still think Kingsmill is the music director. In the week following that, triple j actually put "Oh Caroline" on their hitlist (although they haven't played it much) and in response to this #1 album, ARIA's news report was "The 1975: Australia is in love with you". Anyway this is their 3rd #1 album, and it means that it's the 2nd time Red Hot Chili Peppers have missed a #1 since RHCP hitting #1 was a foregone conclusion. The last time was in 2011 when they made the foolish decision to release an album in the same year as Adele and probably moved a 5 digit figure to get 2nd place. Next we have Ocean Alley hitting #3 for the second time in a row. I would usually probably rag on them but honestly the first two singles on this album are pretty much the best material I've heard from them to date. In addition to indirectly subjecting me to an insufferable chart show thread last week, Lil Baby also scores his first top 10 album. For Alter Bridge it's their 3rd. We've got big climbs this week for Bruno Mars & Tame Impala who've been playing shows here and also a new Little River Band compilation. Their last 2 entries before this were "The Classic Collection" and "The Definitive Collection", so I'm kind of sad this isn't "The Ultimate Collection". Green Day are also back with "Heardle's Favorite Band" which is actually pretty common but I only just thought of that joke.

Would imagine most stuff that isn't recorded by Taylor Swift or Arctic Monkeys would likely register a decline this week?

Not surprised they wouldn't play it on the radio but "Shook Ones Pt. II" is a song of the decade contender for me. Blows my mind that Prodigy (R.I.P. :cry: ) & Havoc were only like 19 when they made it.
