This could potentially be its last week as FIFTY FIFTY are vaulting up the chart. They have a pretty hefty lead on Spotify and YouTube but are behind elsewhere. For now they're #2 which makes it the equal 3rd highest charting K-Pop song in history. BTS got to #2 with "Dynamite", while we've had #1 hits in "Gangnam Style" and "Pink Venom", the big two. My David Kushner shade is justified as his streams retreated back this week. An interesting climb to note this week is "Calm Down", which gets a new peak in its 35th week on the chart. I have to look further into this but it's looking like climbing again next week and I suspect it might be the slowest ever climb into the top 10 if so. Also an interesting climb this week is for "Wish You The Best", which has been retreating on streams but had a bizarre boost on YouTube. I'm not sure what to make of it, but with it currently #43 on Apple and #53 on Spotify, one has to suspect that the low on-demand streaming is gonna catch up with it eventually. New in the top 50 this week is Sam Barber who is doing curiously well in Australia compared to other markets. Once upon a time Australia was a proving ground for future global hits. For the Bubbling Under chart, we arrive upon that Haddaway remake that I have been carefully avoiding so far. Jack Harlow also sneaks in an entry though I'm not certain he's even made the ARIA top 100 with this. Ed Sheeran may be able to populate the upper end of this chart next week, although my gut feeling at the moment is that he'll have 3 songs in the top 50 this week. For comparison, "=" had 6 songs in the top 50 on release week, 3 of which were debuts. Another week on the album chart, another week of no second weeks for Australian artists. Maybe things can be different this time because we actually have one at #1. The TikTok era has been brutal for Australian artists trying to break out, but maybe the only major exception is Peach PRC, who has amassed a huge following on the platform. She hasn't really lit up the charts as of yet but she's racking up Hottest 100 entries. This week's #1 album is an interesting one as it might just be the shortest running #1 album ever. Last year Huskii got to #1 with an EP that ran for 19 minutes but this 6 track EP skirts hard on the line of eligibility and is also just shy of 18 minutes. The biggest single from it heavily interpolates "Stars Are Blind" by Paris Hilton. Elsewhere this week, The National have their 4th consecutive top 10 album though with a not particularly optimistic trajectory. Their best selling album "High Violet" only peaked at #29. Jack Harlow also now can claim both of the least desired peaks in his discography, following up his #2 peaking album last year with a #11 peak this week. Lastly we have a new entry for Kip Moore, who has previously made the top 10 twice. This week also showcases the funny second weeks of Post Malone & Tiesto, letting us know how much of their performance last week was just based on incidental streaming. Next week you have to imagine is Ed Sheeran's for the taking, while I think there's a posthumous Olivia Newton-John album to save Australian music for another week.

It's showing signs of slipping but also every now and then gets a new jolt of energy. In any case nothing is close to overtaking. It turns out I was right to ridicule David Kushner because "Daylight" tanked dramatically this week, but is showing signs of recovery now. Maybe the real one to watch is Fifty Fifty who have been vaulting up the streaming charts and I could see them reaching the top 3 next week. The Weeknd arrives in the top 10 with "Double Fantasy", for which I must preserve ARIA's funny typo of a listing that's still on the website. As his penchant is to not quite reach the top 10 normally, this is just Future's second top 10 hit after "Way 2 Sexy". "Heat Waves" drops to quite a bit lower than it was 2 weeks ago which to me implies that there's been an overcorrection after last week's oddity. There are two debuts this week. Firstly Lewis Capaldi who seems to have had a convenient algorithm boost to solidify a top 50 position so he'll potentially drop back a bit next week but it won't be the end of the world. The other top 50 entry proves it's a good week for cupid as he hits me with precision in allowing Tyler, The Creator to score a top 50 hit with "See You Again". The vast majority of Tyler's top 50 hits spent a single week in, but this looks like it will continue to climb next week. It's also Kali Uchis' second top 50 hit after "telepatia", although ARIA have neglected to put her name on it. It also got upgraded to triple platinum status this week which puts it probably on par in lifetime sales with bafflingly perennial hit "Sunroof" which you probably scrolled past on the chart but yes, it's still here. In Australian music update, things got increasingly bleak as "STAY" is now out of the top 50 and "Rhyme Dust" also surprisingly slipped out. If you even want to dignify "Cold Heart" as counting, even that's starting to approach an exit. "Riptide" is #13 on Spotify right now which is its highest ever position in the 3105 days that kworb's been tracking it, although I know with certainty that it got to #1 for a week at the start of 2014 after triple j's Hottest 100, still before streams counted to the official chart. For this week's Bubbling Under chart, we note "Boat". Sam Barber is climbing fast though and might be the only new entry in the top 50 next week. There's basically nothing else within striking distance right now although I shall root for "Money Trees" to get some action because it's creeping curiously high lately. It is amusing how particularly ancient the bottom end of the top 50 is though, with "Wish You The Best" at #34 being the lowest song that's actually from this year. It'll keep the new hits afloat though for now, with nothing close to slipping out and only "Flowers" poised to age out in the near future. Morgan Wallen returns to #1 on the album chart, achieving the rare double. I want to say it's a rarer double that neither are debuts but honestly the #1 single/#1 album debut double is not particularly common unless you're Taylor Swift. The highest debut this week goes to Agust D at #4, though he previously made #2 back in 2020. We regrettably only have one Australian album in the top 50 again, oddly enough it's Bluey. Bluey previously had a #1 album in 2021, which interestingly enough, held off The Kid LAROI temporarily on his quest for a #1 album. This time Bluey can only manage #7 and I have no idea if a second week in the top 50 is on the cards. I'm not sure what to expect next week, possibly Peach PRC's 6 track EP will count to the chart but I don't think Morgan Evans' 5 track EP will. Potentially set to make it tougher to do so is the new Post Malone chart occupier. However, we must remember that the ARIA Charts are funny like that, and so what I gather is that only the crossover tracks from "Hollywood's Bleeding" have been included because it's the only Post Malone album that saw a significant shift down the chart this week. HOWEVER, I can't make the maths make sense with just 3 tracks counting. I'll keep an eye on this one. Taylor Swift lands a new entry which is mostly just notable because she now has 8 simultaneous top 50 albums, which I'm sure bothers no one because they're real albums (ironically she's probably an artist whose positions wouldn't change much if big hit songs dominating were taken out of the equation). Tiesto has what is only his 3rd ever top 50 album here. Lower down we have two of those big new entries on the UK album chart that are so on the edge of the top 50 you have to wonder if any excited campaigning splashing out to here by accident helped them over the line. Everything But The Girl previously had two top 50 albums both with respectable longevity. Enter Shikari also only have had two previously and they only started getting them in 2012, even though I remember being scared shitless when I saw the music video for "Sorry, You're Not A Winner" back in 2007, but with time I accept it as an all-time banger.

Yeah if this lawsuit goes through, it sets a *really* bad precedent that affects basically every artist past, present & future. No music fan should want this.

Haven't seen anyone mention it, but "Daylight" and "Wish You The Best" just got un-algorithmed (or it's just been a week since) and lost 90K each in their bullets on Spotify last night.

Just popped in to see if there was a chance "See You Again" might get reset today, what a delight!

Me continuing my flawless impression of someone who only knows one ES song from back when they were 14: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I'd say it's similar to whatever's boosting it back up in the UK. Ours is a bit more exaggerated because it's got a playlisting boost on Spotify it didn't have before, and I guess it's a little less overexposed if that matters. Though for what it's worth it already had a radio run here last year that went nowhere (it's only improved its radio peak by 1 position so far this year). 24/04/2023 Singles 01 01 11 01 LAST NIGHT Morgan Wallen 02 02 14 01 FLOWERS Miley Cyrus 03 04 19 01 KILL BILL SZA 04 03 11 02 BOY'S A LIAR PinkPantheress 05 05 38 03 DIE FOR YOU The Weeknd 06 NE 01 06 DAYLIGHT David Kushner 07 12 03 07 FAST CAR Luke Combs 08 06 26 01 ANTI-HERO Taylor Swift 09 17 04 09 THE BEGINNING: CUPID Fifty Fifty 10 07 55 01 AS IT WAS Harry Styles 11 11 35 08 UNTIL I FOUND YOU Stephen Sanchez & Em Beihold 12 10 20 03 ESCAPISM.

No. Not just because the charts come out on Friday and are dated for the Monday so there's guaranteed time to soak up the sun, but also because it'll almost certainly be #1 again next week. There's momentum for David Kushner on Spotify this week though I'm suspicious that it might be built on algorithms. If that turns out to be the case I will make sure not to needlessly neg the song for a 3rd week in a row. It's doing quite well for him in any case, he previously got to #36 with "Miserable Man" last year. Luke Combs also has his first ever top 10 hit this week, and the 3rd version of "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman to make the top 10. Time will tell if we ever increase the number of versions of "Fast Car" by Taio Cruz to make the top 10, we're currently at a steady 0. Fifty Fifty are also in the top 10 for the first time ever. Post Malone debuts at #14, and seems to be declining slightly on Spotify, so that could be the overall peak. I have no idea what will happen with Post Malone's new compilation and whether or not it will sabotage his first three albums' near permanent residency on the top 50 hip-hop/R&B charts despite a sometimes dubious claim to those genres. Labrinth is new in the top 50 and is the latest recipient of a funny timing on an autoplay algorithm that is completely misrepresented on the chart. So he'll probably climb but you'd have no way of knowing he was #8 on Spotify not long ago. J. Cole is back again with "No Role Modelz" which is an excuse to highlight that it has spent 25 weeks between #43 and #50. I don't know if there are still people who draw the line at the top 40 for representing a hit but they are surely letting their dislike of J. Cole cloud reasonable judgement if they're still at it. The highest selling song to not reach the top 50 is probably "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey which peaked at #100 (it may have been higher if let back on the chart in 2009 but my memory of the incident is foggy), or "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol which technically peaked at #52 but only because it took a year to be included. "The Nosebleed Section" by Hilltop Hoods was not a commercial single back in 2003 but eventually peaked at #75 a couple of years ago. It regularly outsells the rest of their catalogue and is probably another contender. The biggest one with no dubious incident behind it is possibly "Ni**as In Paris" even with several years of not being on Spotify. It's currently not on the ARIA survey to my knowledge as a consequence of that but it's not on track to match its #66 peak anyway. To note on the Bubbling Under chart, Lewis Capaldi looks to be relying on an algorithm to make the top 50 next week as he just snuck into the Spotify top 50 after a very suspicious one day climb on Friday that stopped very suddenly the next day. Sam Barber is here to prove that Australia is interested in more than just 3 country singers, while also probably providing the first ARIA top 100 hit written by Samuel Barber since William Orbit's version of "Adagio For Strings". Yes it's a very good joke, no need to thank me. As is often the case, the 'debut' for Barber on this chart implies that it was submitted for tracking after blowing up 2 weeks ago, and so there was a one week lag before ARIA added it to their data. The same is also true of Jack Black, and I'll just use this opportunity to point out that Tenacious D's "Tribute" was a massive hit in Australia, talking, #15 on the 2002 End Of Year list, wedged closely between "Lose Yourself" and "Hot In Herre" big. Metallica score their 8th #1 album this week. Clearly they were made famous by Stranger Things. Once again we have 2 Australian albums debuting in the top 50, and 2 Australian albums in the top 50. This week's honours go to The Wolfe Brothers who pick up their 4th top 10 album, and The Wiggles who are also familiar to this rodeo or so I'm told. Next week Australian music is ready to be saved again, by Bluey.

I also noticed with the album chart that they shifted off Foo Fighters' Essential collection and Ed Sheeran's "=", neither of which had hit 18 months yet (though Ed is *very* close). It's kind of an interesting look at just how many albums were affected by the original recurrency rules. Six60's EP went from #39 last week to #40 on the catalogue chart this week, implying that all along, the #40 album was really something like #80 at this point, and why so many of those long charting albums were kept standing by having a lower and lower threshold to clear :lol:

I don't write the rules, but I'm pretty sure whoever takes it is allowed to tell the other, 'sorry, you're not a winner' :basil:

Unless I'm mistaken, Labrinth just got hit by the algorithm stream redaction thingo around the world today.

To be fair, Dave did write & produce that particular song on his own.

For only the 3rd time this year, we have a new #1. I don't know if there's any proof that moving into the #1 spot is a 'big deal' that generates more buzz, but it is interesting to me that "Last Night" is showing big gains again after seemingly fading on Spotify lately. If it's true though, we could see some galvanising that'll solidify Morgan Wallen at #1 for a while because I'm not sure what's supposed to take over. David Kushner is maybe hoping for a top 5 debut but I'm not yet convinced this isn't another one of those "Fingers Crossed" type deals that fade once the radio audience doesn't replace the TikTok audience fast enough. On an unrelated note, Drake debuts in the top 10, and won't be in the top 10 next week, you know the drill. Unless the last two days are a complete aberration, perhaps Glass Animals will be back to extend their reign for longest running top 10 hit ever. I noticed the other day that Ed Sheeran's "Shivers" became one of a very small group of songs that have been in the ARIA top 10 in 3 different calendar years. The only other non-Christmas songs I can think of that have done this are "Black Or White" and "I Will Always Love You", but "Heat Waves" could join this odd group next week. If not, at least it was a good excuse for me to research this odd curiosity. Speaking of songs that are allergic to not being in the chart, Lewis Capaldi is back with another attempt to have the longest reigning top 50 hit of all time. "Someone You Loved" is back up to #30 this week and is still making gains on Spotify well over a week after the documentary came out, which might be because he was announced as a sort of headliner for Splendour In The Grass. The rule of inertia means that the song could continue to remain in the top 50 for a long time. On an unrelated note, "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac is also back. I feared there might only be one Australian song in the top 50 this week but against all odds, "Love Again" survived another week and "Rhyme Dust" even snuck back in. Lastly, NLE Choppa gets his first ever chart entry here. He's made the Spotify chart a few times before but I don't recall what's actually been let on the ARIA Chart before. "Rhyme Dust"'s return also prevents the New Music chart from tying its record on Christmas for having only 8 songs in the top 50. We might be safe from that list getting smaller in the near future with David Kushner & Labrinth climbing up, and maybe Kanii can reach the top 50 next week too, hard to tell with the two versions. For the first time this year, we have an Australian artist at #1. It comes from perennial stalwarts Cub Sport hitting #1 for the first time in their career. In case you were wondering, Cub Sport have been around since 2010. For a few years they were known as Cub Scouts but then got an injunction from Scouts Australia. They'd released a bunch of EPs but didn't actually put out a full length until 2016, and it's not unreasonable to say that the song "Come On Mess Me Up" sent them to the relative stratosphere. Around the same time, the lead singer came out and married the keyboard player, with many of their songs of late exploring this relationship. This new #1 keeps off NF, who can take solace in now having hit the 3 highest prime number ranks on the chart. Linkin Park return to the top 10 with "Meteora". You'd think it would've been a sure bet for #1 back in 2003 but unfortunately they chose to release it on the same week as Delta Goodrem's debut album, the first of 29 weeks that "Innocent Eyes" spent at #1. Lower down, Cub Sport were actually beaten on the vinyl chart this week by Frenzal Rhomb who score their 4th top 20 peak, having gotten as high as #9 in 2017. It's been almost 20 years since Jay from Frenzal made a fool out of Kyle Sandilands in a radio interview and we're still stuck with him on the airwaves being generally awful. The 1975 are back on the album chart corresponding with them playing shows here recently. Daniel Caesar gets his second top 50 album, and has been on a pretty solid run of singles lately in my opinion. Next week is Metallica's for the taking and perhaps The Wolfe Brothers can provide our weekly Australian contingent.

The rebound is happening in every country so I'm not sure there's any reason to speculate UK chart specific conspiracy.

Thing with this is that it might seem sound in theory, but in reality, the actual experience is probably not what you expect. Take for instance, a select handful of songs and their ratio of listeners:plays on last.fm, which doesn't really correlate to 'long charting songs are propelled by the same people playing it again and again' (I've always said in the case of The Killers, people do not actually listen to it that often, it's just that it's had 2 decades of pop culture relevance so it's known by *soooooo* many more people than anything new in the charts. If these people stream it once a year, it'll clown on most of the current hits)

But by the same token, I believe "House Every Weekend" would otherwise still be #1 if it didn't coincide with Spotify losing its data on that particular week.

If you want to make for an interesting target, the uncredited but Billy Ray Cyrus assisted "Old Town Road" spent 13 weeks at #1. On the other hand, it seems strongly likely that this will be the last week at #1 for Miley because "Last Night" was super close this week and is eating further into that gap on streaming so far this week. The top end of the chart is fairly stagnant and well engaged into 'actually the older songs kick out the newer ones' mode. Drake could potentially debut into the top 10 and be a further example of this, but it's also possible we could see strong engagement for Luke Combs' cover of "Fast Car". Given that ARIA's website includes outrageously large Last Week positions, we have complete confirmation that the song was not included whatsoever last week, but in any case it's definitely on the up from there anyway. Australia does have a strong fascination with that particular Tracy Chapman song, given that the original went into the top 5, and then in 2016 we had two separate cover versions charting side by side with one bafflingly going to #1. With his previous highest being #12, this has a strong chance to become Luke Combs' first ever top 10 hit in the coming weeks. Speaking of songs not included on last week's survey, Tyler, The Creator makes the top 50 with "DOGTOOTH", which admittedly would not have gotten close to the chart on its midweek release but it's still worth pointing out these chart inaccuracies when they pop up. The real curiosity is that the song definitely only made the top 50 because of Hot Hits Australia's uncharacteristic fondness for it, helping steady its decline enough for it to hang on here for a week. Speaking of bizarre Spotify things, briefly over the weekend they put Meghan Trainor's "Made You Look" at the very top of the playlist, and then put it right back down to the bottom, feeling like a sort of drunk with power moment or maybe someone just wants to measure how much of a difference playlist position makes. Fifty Fifty get their first top fifty hit which I assume is good news if you like songs that sound like those Dr. Luke hit songs in recent years. Jisoo becomes the 3rd member of BLACKPINK to score a solo top 50 hit, while we have very belated entrances for both Bailey Zimmerman and Libianca. "Rock and a Hard Place" first started charting here almost a year ago, and follows in the line of many US hit songs that go high on initial streaming buzz but go even higher ages later when radio catches up even if the streaming has fizzled a bit since then. It is quite common though in some of these cases to see a decent boost over here that coincides with it though. The Bubbling Under chart gets bigger this week as SZA's album no longer qualifies as New Music, and actually Libianca also just tipped over. Central Cee will be off either next week or the week after too, it's currently the last 2022 hold out. Not much to note this week apart from the fact I'm slightly surprised Jimin managed a second week. For the second time in their career, DMA'S hit the #2 spot. Their previous album "The Glow" chose a battle with Lime Cordiale that they were likely never going to win, but maybe it's impressive that they managed to out-debut Juice WRLD's first posthumous album (though it went to #1 the very next week). DMA'S had a 7 year streak of entries in triple j's Hottest 100 that ended when they failed to manifest in 2021, but it's a streak that I think only The Living End, Illy & Peking Duk can lay claim to having beaten. They only barely made this year's list with only one of their several releases so I don't know if this album will be able to maintain their usual standard of spending more than 1 week in the top 50. Likely it means another week in a row where every Australian album in the top 50 is one that just debuted there and will be gone next week. Speaking of which, maybe the most interesting entry this week comes from Private Function. They're a band that doesn't really get a lot of airplay anywhere, but I heard about this album a while ago when it was revealed that it was initially considered illegal to sell in South Australia. The reason being that the album's vinyl contains a scratchie ticket in the sleeve with a potential prize, which is illegal to do so in South Australia without a permit. To my knowledge they will eventually press the album without it so that South Australians can buy it, but either way, it's a very funny story and it probably helped this lesser known band chart as high as #11 this week. Also the album title is very funny if you read it upside down. In-between these, we've got a top 3 debut for boygenius. Phoebe Bridgers and Julian Baker have both made the top 50 before but this is comfortably their highest chart position to date. I've also always suspected that Julian Baker's "Something" is a lost Hottest 100 hit that got a lot of buzz and airplay in 2016 but was ineligible for polling because it came out the year before. Phoebe herself has had a curious history with the poll due to limited airplay which felt out of step, but funnily enough "Kyoto" nearly polled with practically no airplay at the time. I think they've finally caught up to this though because "Sidelines" did start getting airplay and snuck into this year's list. "Emily I'm Sorry" is getting quite a bit of airplay from this album so maybe there's more to come. City and Colour debuts in the top 20, he's previously had 4 solo top 10 albums, getting as high as #2 on his own, but also again hitting #2 in his collaboration album with P!nk. Alexisonfire only once narrowly made the top 20. Tyler, The Creator returns on the back of the album's extension, and that's about all to note this week. Next week's 1 week Australian contingent looks to potentially be Cub Sport and Frenzal Rhomb. Possibly NF has a chance at the top?

Things are tightening up so it could forfeit next week, but Morgan Wallen is also showing declines across the board at a similar rate. Never before has the top of the chart been so close and yet so not competitive as pretty much nothing is building traction anymore. Ed Sheeran does arrive in the top 10 but is not getting some magical streaming boost in week 2 so he looks to fall back down too. Speaking of magical streaming boosts, Taylor Swift climbs up a little with her song that dropped 20 places on Spotify the other day. If the BTS Army's aim was to get a Hot 100 #1 and also to land next to "ceilings" on both the ARIA & UK Charts, then they've succeeded on both counts. Otherwise it's been a notable week for Luke Combs, who earns two new top 50 entries this week with two of his previously released singles. It's important to note that they're older singles because it seems that Sony have omitted to submit all the new tracks to the survey. Maybe the popularity of "Fast Car" caught them by surprise and it'll turn up on the chart next week or the week after. To my surprise Libianca is getting very close to the top 50 and might just do it next week as there should be less competition. Morgan Wallen debuts another entry on the Bubbling Under chart by way of the 3 track rule, and "Rhyme Dust" recovers due to finally getting added to Hot Hits Australia. By the way there are only two Australian tracks in the top 50 and it might go down to 1 next week. "STAY" jumping ahead of "Love Again" means that The Kid LAROI could potentially claim the title of longest running #1 on the Australian ARIA Chart, currently he's a couple of weeks behind "Dance Monkey", but would be far ahead if he'd stopped releasing new singles that keep knocking "STAY" off. As for the albums chart, you can't spell Luke Combs without a capital L, which in this instance takes further form in Lana Del Rey. She hit #1 with her first 4 albums but actually hadn't made the top spot since, until now. This keeps Luke Combs to a second #2 album in a row, but at least he can boast charting higher than Nelly's "Sweat" & "Suit" combo. His entire back catalogue is still in the top 50 so one would guess that he'll probably win the war anyway. Fall Out Boy on the other hand, have never had a #1 album but tend to get themselves vaguely in the mix. Their closest effort was when "Save Rock and Roll" played second fiddle to a new Michael Buble album. I also feel bad for ARIA's social media team who needed to promote the debut of Matt Corby's 3rd album as impressive at #8, ignoring that his first two albums both landed higher, notably his debut hit the top spot. But given that he has the only Australian album in the entire top 50, I guess it's a lot harder to manage these heights 16 years removed from your Australian Idol runner up fame. I haven't listened to the album yet but it's got some good singles on it. On the topic of the oppressive nature of the global music scene, Pink Floyd are back with their woke album, and Depeche Mode have their first appearance in 6 years. Fictional band Daisy Jones & The Six manage to climb into the top 50 also. I can't be sure what to expect next week except that DMA'S will try to be the new only Australian album in the top 50, and hey, boygenius are really high on the UK midweeks so surely that'll splash over here as well.
