I dunno I've never understood the overblown reaction. The whole chart is otherwise just cosplaying as ''organic popularity'' by way of playlists that give most current hits a huge leg up, and if that's still not enough to beat the big new album, well who cares we'll go back to our Fleetwood Mac purgatory in a few weeks anyway. Take out Kanye and this is one of the most boring weeks ever on the chart. I am dreading the casual racism of ARIA commenters when Drake makes ABBA not chart as high as they would have, had they released on a sensible week though.

It's spent its entire chart run at #1 thus far which is of course notable as it gives it a record to chase, Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You" having spent its first 13 weeks on the chart at #1 (just surpassing a long held record by Eminem's "Lose Yourself" which managed 12 weeks). Conveniently it might be up to Ed Sheeran to topple it but also I can't not acknowledge the potential for Drake to snatch the top spot next week. "Girls Want Girls" is already off #1 on Spotify & Apple but it's possible it had a good enough start to hold on for the rest of the week. Either way Drake will probably be content to break a record that Kanye West just set (SEGUES FOR DAYS) regarding the most top 50 debuts in a single week. 19 tracks from "DONDA" debuted in the top 50 this week which beats the old record of 16 from Taylor Swift last year. ARIA's midweeks had Drake's entire album in the top 50 and only "The Remorse" looks like it might slip out but even then it could still make it. As for Kanye, this week's edition of what is ARIA doing is the fact that we have "Hurricane (Version 2)" whatever that means, I guess Kanye fixed it. Whatever it means, it's Kanye's highest chart entry since "I Love It" made #4 in 2018, and the last time he got higher than that was "FourFiveSeconds" at #1 in 2015, but if you want to talk about just lead Kanye stuff for Kanye projects, then you have to go back to "Stronger"'s #2 peak in 2007. Also that throwaway remix thing is now Pnau's highest ever chart entry. Radio loves it because of course it does. Another interesting thing that happened this week is that ARIA finally decided to include all of Doja Cat's non-Dr. Luke songs, so "Woman" and "Get Into It (Yuh)" both finally debut, while "Ain't Shit" of course is also being included now that it's not high enough to make the top 50. This all coalesces into an interesting week of drop outs where not only are we spared of Capaldi again, not only do we only have 1 version of the Fleetwood Mac song that went viral on TikTok a year ago, but we also lose "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd for the first time ever. The Weeknd thus logged 91 consecutive weeks in the top 50 which is 1 more than "Someone You Loved" managed by 1 less than "Dance Monkey" managed. This record will thus stand for at least another 45 weeks though nearest competitor "Levitating" is starting to show its age on the Spotify chart, so clearly we should be looking out for "Heat Waves" which apparently even in Australia some people still haven't heard enough for three lifetimes so it's climbing back into the top 10 despite the competition. Oh and BTS return to the top 50 thanks to the Megan Thee Stallion remix of "Butter". Kanye West also gets to #1 in what was probably a closer battle than you might expect. It's his 4th #1 album which is all of his studio albums since "Yeezus" except for "The Life Of Pablo" which only recently logged its first ever chart position in Australia. For the first time in a long time, this means Bliss N Eso have to settle for not quite #1. They've had 3 consecutive #1 albums since 2010 though this is also their first album in a long time to not really have a crossover hit of any capacity, so people would be forgiven for not even realising they had a new album out. Kanye's midweek release also disrupts a tradition as for the first time ever, a Halsey album does not debut at #2, instead settling for #3. This is a bit of a banger week for me because perhaps my songs of the year both came out in album form. Perhaps enough people heard "Miracle" in time to not buy CHVRCHES' 3rd album on release because they've ascended just a little bit up from a #7 debut to a #6 debut on their 4th, previous best form is "Every Open Eye" reaching #3. It's also release week for Australian singer-songwriter Gretta Ray and her debut album. She came to national attention winning triple j's Unearthed High competition for her damn excellent debut single "Drive" in 2016 and has been steadily releasing material ever since, though only material from the last 10 months has ended up on this album. In-between these, another long awaited album, this time OneRepublic arrives in the top 10, which is their lowest position but maintains an almost perfect record of top 10 albums (even Ryan Tedder has acknowledged that Australia wasn't interested in their 2nd album, which didn't even make the top 50). With how many streaming hits it has, it might be one of the better chances to stick around on the chart a bit. The Bronx score their highest ever chart position with what is not actually their 6th album if you count all the Mariachi El Bronx albums, while another one of my favourite songs of the year arrives via Ngaiire's 3rd album "3", her highest ever debut. Lil Tecca also sneaks in, quite a bit lower than the prequel album got. Next week looks like Drake's for the taking, with Iron Maiden & Imagine Dragons along for the ride.

I've been having mild FOMO from my Apex friends although most of them live on the other side of the world so it's not feasible for me to play with them anyway. I'm sure there's another timeline where I'm really invested in battle royales that aren't Fall Guys or Tetris. Can second the good word to SUPERHOT, recently played through myself and though the main game is a bit short, the achievement hunty bonus missions were satisfying to beat. Actually I need to remember to boot up the game in a month or so because there's a seasonal achievement I need to finish the set. Lately myself I've been playing through Sekiro and being very up and down with my opinion on it but at its best it's stellar. Similar going with 12 Minutes which I played last week on account of Lisa Simpson coffee meme -> it's a time loop game. Not everything lands but it has a unique atmosphere.

It'll be #1 for an 8th week too. Kanye West did briefly overtake him on Spotify but I'm skeptical he'll even get his limited week's coverage accurately reported, which he's no stranger to with the botched chart for "ye"'s release. I also have no idea what they're going to do about the Pt.2's and the inconsistent data reporting which they may or may not take at face value. Next week's chart will be interesting I guess. As for this week, Ed Sheeran has a big debut for "Visiting Hours", which I believe has charted higher in Australia than anywhere else, which makes sense as it's an ode to Aus music industry legend Michael Gudinski who passed away earlier this year, and Ed performed it at his funeral. Also debuting this week is Clinton Kane, who has never quite charted before but looks set to do pretty well with this one in the coming months. He of course joins Australia's long tradition of dudes with two first names. Lorde also gets a 2nd top 50 hit from her new album though it'll be sadly very short lived. Skrillex is back with an artist credit for the first time in years. Australia has long been Lorde's 2nd best market so it should come as little surprise that she scores a 3rd #1 album here. It is unclear whether or not ARIA counted the non-CD containing albums she was selling. Holy Holy missed the top 10 with their last album but now get a new high of #4. Tropical F**k Storm also get their 2nd top 10 and highest charter, and it's kind of weird to me considering The Drones never got that high. Trippie Redd charts haphazardously on a regular basis but now he has his first top 10 album, while Australian country legend Slim Dusty charts yet another posthumous collection. Angus & Julia Stone usually chart at or close to the #1 spot although their soundtrack album for the latest Life Is Strange game is charting in the top 20 without (I believe) a physical release which is impressive in its own right. I'm also not certain a video game soundtrack has ever made the top 50 before. As a fun side note, Kanye's masterpiece MBDTF is back in the top 50 for the first time in about a decade, and it's possibly because I told ARIA it wasn't being counted on the survey. Next week was already a bumper week for releases before Kanye asserted himself. The lack of a full week or physical release means that I can't even say he's certain for #1, as Bliss N Eso have strong past form, their last album had a better opening week than Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." the same month. Halsey thus will be aiming for her 4th #2 album, while CHVRCHES, Gretta Ray, OneRepublic & Ngaiire should be in the mix too.

I feel like that just makes it more messy because it can often be arbitrary what goes on and it won't really achieve anything close to 'all the relevant songs chart, the irrelevant ones don't' as there's plenty of exceptions on either side. If there MUST be limitations, then New Zealand probably has the best rule, where an artist can have up to 4 songs on the chart the week the album is out, but the next week they're allowed another 2 debuts if they're still high enough, and again on subsequent weeks. (But I still think all songs should be included and can't be convinced otherwise).

It was more or less the song that made me into a fan, still going strong 7 years later so I was pretty stoked to see it on the list for what feels like the first time.

I suppose in those cases it's just cleaning up the clutter. An artist with multiple overlapping compilations having them all spread out arbitrarily* would create a chart that ceases to function in any logical way. The best thing the current situation has going for it is that we more or less can understand the breakdown of these streams, whereas otherwise we'd have an unclear fraction like 'oh, Green Day's compilation should be a little bit higher but we don't know how many streams have been siphoned by the other one'. Of course to that you could say that they get enough of an advantage as is, and I tend to believe that they should just be shipped off to their own chart but for the chart to function as it intends to right now, it's the only option to lap them all up together. *Because what really matters 99% of the time is which one Spotify decides is the 'Top result'

I also must warn you that I have a rant incoming, for we have a new debut in the top 10. "Cold Heart" is Elton John's first appearance in the top 10 since "Ghetto Gospel", or if you're not willing to count that, then "Something About The Way You Look Tonight / Candle In The Wind 1997". This is not an unprecedented track as of course Pnau made an entire album of Elton John mashups & such, curiously this has outpeaked "Rocket Man" and likely will outpeak "Sacrifice" next week. My beef with this record is that in this 2020s decade in which a pandemic has swept across the world, the arts have suffered heavy pushback, especially on a local level. Our government which we've unfortunately been stuck with for the last 8 years continues to be hopeless at compensating, and our local broadcasters have made no effort to improve their already below bare minimum effort in supporting local arts. Which is to say that we are supposed to have a quota of Australian content but it's always skirted by either shoring it up during the late hours when nobody's listening, or just plain not bothering, despite constant signs that the public are happy to hear and support it. Make no mistake that if there is a quota being met, it will only be just that, so Australian content often is indirectly competing with itself. But what always seems to take priority is Australian content that's internationally approved, or rather signal boosting international stars. We have a wealth of local content that needs all the help it can get, but it's going to get muscled out of a chance for all the spins going to Dua Lipa or a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" which by the definitions used, count as Australian content. Which is kind of a bit shit to be honest. Speaking of which, that "Dreams" cover reaches the top 20 and becomes the highest chart entry ever for vocalist Reigan Derry, outpacing her #20 peaking cover of "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith. On an unrelated note to "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith, we have a new entry to the top 50 which is not at all a cover of "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith, instead it's Mimi Webb's "Dumb Love", which is her first time in the chart after "Good Without" never really took off here. Lizzo also returns to the chart with her 3rd top 20 hit though I can't say for certain if it has any chart ascent in its future. Also our barometer of whether or not it's a slow week, "Mr. Brightside", is back for the 2nd time this year. As further evidence that the general public will happily buy into our local product, we have a new #1 this week from Luke Hemmings. 5 Seconds Of Summer have hit #1 with all 4 of their albums thus far, though the first solo outing from Ashton could only manage a #37 peak, in part due to a staggered format release. Luke on the other hand goes right to the top in spite of almost no broadcaster support. He beats out competition from The Killers, who had previously hit the top 5 with all 6 of their studio albums, including the last two going to #1 but this more low key release can only match the peak of "Sawdust". Local band Polish Club score their first ever top 10 peak after two top 20 peaking albums previously, while surprisingly Jungle also score their first top 10 and even top the vinyl chart this week. They're all swapping with $uicideBoy$ who previously reached #10 but this week only manage #18. Also perhaps disappointing is Dan + Shay who land considerably lower than the #15 peak they reached before producing a huge top 5 smash in "10,000 Hours", which oddly left the Spotify top 200 for the first time this week. Next week Lorde will attempt to make it 3 for 3, alongside entries for Tropical F*ck Storm, Holy Holy, Angus & Julia Stone and Trippie Redd.
