In a massive twist, BLACKPINK score their first ever #1 single with "Pink Venom". They're only the second ever K-Pop artist to reach #1, after PSY of course (BTS have gotten as high as #2). She's not technically Australian but Rosé did grow up in Australia and so is the closest we've got to an Australian woman reaching #1 this decade aside from Tones and I's extended retention of the #1 spot into early 2020. I'll also note historically that this is unquestionably the first time that a song's YouTube views, and ARIA's only very recent decision to include them have factored into earning the #1 spot. Without them I don't think the song would have gotten much higher than about #8. This in turn prevents Nicki Minaj from hitting #1 for the first time, but she does now have two #2 singles to her name, and perhaps a chance to get there next week. "As It Was" is probably the most likely contender but also who knows, with no pop bar data it's entirely possible that "Hold Me Closer" is selling in the thousands to make up for a pretty big streaming deficit, so that could turn up anywhere next week. We've also got "I Ain't Worried" which is within an inch of the bizarre future where the most popular song on Spotify at a given moment is "I Ain't Worried" by OneRepublic, truly mystifying. On another note, radio programmers will be delighted that "Sunroof" has cracked the top 10 this week. LF SYSTEM vault up the chart again, and we have an interesting situation I'm not sure has ever happened, with just 2 debuts on the chart, as far away as possible from each other. It turns out that "B.O.T.A." was doing enough to just sneak in this week, and I suspect it will climb quite a bit next week. The longer version of the song was doing best on streaming until a few days ago and the edited version is now vaulting far ahead while the original has since left the top 200. Also interesting to note is that Eliza Rose is not actually the first female DJ/singer of her name to chart in Australia, as back in 2016, Australia's own Elizabeth Rose (who now produces music under the moniker BRUX) charted in the top 100 with her debut album. "The Good Life" is an absolute tune. Madonna secures her 12th #1 album this week, which puts her in outright 3rd for most #1 albums in Australia behind Jimmy Barnes & The Beatles. She very nearly was beaten though which could've surely been a provocative moment to be denied a #1 spot by an album titled "Get F**ked". Thus Australian icons The Chats don't quite get to sit atop a milk crate throne but #2 is a new high for them. At #5 is also a new high for I Prevail, while Five Finger Death Punch score their 4th consecutive top 10 album. Brendan Urie also narrowly scores his 5th top 10 album despite failing to manage it in the US. The first Panic! At The Disco album eventually climbed to #11 while the 4th didn't even get close. Noted polarizing figure Ben Lee returns to the top 50 for the first time since 2009 with his newest album, just ahead of Demi Lovato who I have to suspect had some limited stock availability/distribution/promotion because it's her lowest charting album ever apart from her 2008 debut. Her last 3 albums went top 10.

It's a fairly close pack at the top but he's having a good week so far and so will probably hold onto the top spot next week. Challenging him will be this week's highest debut from Nicki Minaj, as "Super Freaky Girl" instantly becomes one of her highest charting singles ever, only "Starships", "Turn Me On" and "Side To Side" have gotten higher, but that list will be reduced next week. Otherwise it's a fairly slow week where "Someone You Loved" isn't even the oldest song to re-enter. Current UK #1 single "Afraid To Feel" finally enters thanks to a Hot Hits Australia add getting it over the line for now, but it'll jump a lot next week. It may also be joined by its potential successor "B.O.T.A." though that's more a hunch on my part because as you might guess, it's hard to tell how well it's really doing on streaming. Harry Styles also returns to #1 on the album chart, it's all Harry's house, we're just living in it. Troy Cassar-Daley gets his 7th top 10 album this week, while WAAX reach the top 20 for the 2nd time, with their 2nd album. Arch Enemy just sneak into the top 50 for their 2nd top 50 entry, while Thelma Plum just barely qualifies for the album chart with her 6 track EP.

Yeah I get that but it feels a bit like a logical fallacy to treat it as new music when a lot of the current hype is from a decade of nostalgia from SoundCloud & whatnot, to say nothing of the fact that Mac died 4 years ago. Won't be long until we find out if Love Tonight is considered eligible for ARIA Awards :lol:

This is very important because now you can no longer say that "We Are The World" is outright the longest reigning '80s song, as it's now tied. One can only wish for it to be permanently demoted to 2nd place but I think there's a good chance Harry Styles returns to #1 next week. They're both dropping pretty hard on Spotify streams though which might provide an opening for Steve Lacy, or at the very least an opening for me to say that he would be #1 if Hot Hits Australia wasn't systemically racist. DJ Khaled has the highest debut of the week with a song that has probably already peaked. Just behind is a fake debut for Chris Brown with "Under The Influence" just now being allowed on the chart. It's a pretty robust week for real debuts though. Benny Blanco & co. enter with help from YouTube views, as does KSI, who might have a very rare case of a song making the top 50 due to digital pre-orders. It's his 3rd top 50 hit and Tom Grennan's 2nd (though "Remind Me" is getting a rinse on the radio at the moment). Between them we have the bizarre arrival of Mac Miller's "Love Lost", which ARIA are counting to their new music chart despite it being over a decade old. It may potentially outpeak the original song by The Temper Trap which peaked at #32 in 2010. Marshmello & Khalid also sneak into the chart after looking like having missed out a few weeks back. Bizarrely this is only Khalid's 2nd top 50 hit in the last 2.5 years. He had 22 top 50 hits in the previous 2.5 years before that. Eminem not hitting #1 in Australia is pretty much unheard of ever since "The Marshall Mathers LP", but "Curtain Call 2" can only get to #2, with Beyonce able to hold on for a 2nd week. The ARIA Hall of Fame has had a rough few weeks with icons passing away. Olivia Newton-John has a big re-entry with her Greatest Hits in the top 5. "Hopelessly Devoted To You" was also very close to entering the singles chart top 50, but kobbar probably knows why it didn't. Lower down is The Seeker's Greatest Hits as Judith Durham also passed away in the same week. For nice Australian news, in the top 10 is the arrival of the debut album of King Stingray. They're a surf rock band with members descended from Yothu Yindi, with a mix of Yolngu and balanda members. This nation is Aboriginal land and always will be. This week's anniversary vinyl is Diesel's "Hepfidelity", also known as the album with "Tip Of My Tongue" on it. Apologies to any non-Australian readers if that sentence is incomprehensible. Actually it's not the only one this week as seemingly to mark its 2 year anniversary, Glass Animals' "Dreamland" got a vinyl release which pulls it back into the top 50. I got an ad on Twitter the other day insisting Australia that there's an album too. Calvin Harris's 2nd volume of Funk Wav Bounces proves slightly less desired than the 1st. Country duo The Long and Short of It have been together for 15 years and just now score their first ever top 50 entry. There's also a soundtrack entry for Purple Hearts which has been flooding the iTunes chart for a couple weeks now.

I insinuated but didn't outright say last week that I thought this might be her last week at #1, but I think she may well hold on again next week. It'll be very close. Harry Styles will no doubt want revenge now that she ousted him for the longest reigning #1 of the year. Central Cee climbs to #3 which I feel obliged to mention is slightly higher than the #4 peak of Eve's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind", and I imagine he's dropping down from here on. Beyonce doesn't quite get the top 5 finish she was looking at early in the week but it is a new peak for "BREAK MY SOUL" nonetheless. Beyonce also has most of the debuts this week although apart from maybe "CUFF IT", they're looking like disappearing from the top 50 next week. The hard-to-track streaming progress of Rosa Linn vaults her into the top 25 this week. This is the first Eurovision entry in several years to make the chart (although "Arcade" should have charted, it just didn't of course), and it could well become the most successful in a long time too, with the only serious competition in recent times being Dami Im's "Sound Of Silence" which was a top 5 hit. The rest of the debuts are very old and it's a peculiar bunch. A most egregious ARIA omission in recent years has been "Sweater Weather" by The Neighbourhood, which has been consistently in the top 100 on Spotify since the start of last year. I'm not certain but it probably moved enough units to make the Year End chart last year, although at the same time, it's never been high enough to make the ARIA top 50 so it's an easy omission to miss. It finally appeared on the ARIA Chart a few weeks ago and just in time as it saw a huge boost in streams last week that sees it enter the top 40. Just behind it is the also somewhat belated arrival of Tom Odell's "Another Love", which never charted in its heyday either, and also (though for not quite as long) spent ages not being recognised on the ARIA Chart, but also sees a big boost in streams to make the top 50 this week. To round that off is another peculiarity in The Weeknd's "Die For You", which was not allowed to enter the ARIA Chart when "Starboy" was released, a consistent pattern for The Weeknd's album tracks up until "Dawn FM". Last week there was a huge overhaul with a bunch of songs belatedly let on the chart which included several songs by The Weeknd, with "Die For You" jumping into the top 50 this week. Beyonce debuts at #1 this week which gives her a 3rd #1 album, following her self-titled and "Lemonade". The "Elvis" soundtrack got a CD release this past week which vaults it from out of the chart and up to a new peak. There's also some extremely Australian entries from former #1 peakers Dune Rats, and Reddy Bay's own Beddy Rays. As ARIA noted on Twitter, with three Ball Park Music albums re-issued on vinyl this past week, 5 of the top 7 selling vinyl albums this week are by Brisbane artists. The others from that top 7 are Beyonce and the re-entry for The Wiggles this week. Some ways down from previous chart peaks are new albums for Maggie Rogers & $uicideBoy$, both of which previously made the top 10.

1979 & Prince absolute classics here.

Ah yeah I forgot about that when I was writing it but certainly thought of it! I'm sure it's popular but I don't think I've ever seen similar chart movement following suit with the UK like this before.

She's still pretty safe at the top for next week though her lead on each platform is starting to slip. If this week in particular is making you think 'wow! "Heat Waves" is still really high on the chart!", know that Glass Animals have been in the country recently. It'll probably get shoved down a few spots next week with Beyonce vaulting up, Steve Lacy climbing more and potentially OneRepublic or Central Cee sneaking past. Speaking of which, Central Cee has his first top 10 hit. He previously reached top 30 with "Obsessed With You", but I must always point out that UK rap songs going top 10 here is extremely rare. A further two debuts come from Billie Eilish, the latter of which is tragically one place too low on this chart that is tragically dated one day too late. The most bizarre news of the week though is the arrival of "Remember" by Becky Hill. This song briefly dipped into the top 100 last year and has since been belatedly picked up by the radio as a follow up to "My Heart Goes (La Di Da)", which also barely cracked the top 100. So it's been flogged on the radio for the past couple of months but for no reason I can ascertain, it's been building up on Spotify and vaulted into the top 30 about a week ago. However, while arriving into the top 50 is usually a booster to get more streams, it's been dropping off a bit since then so it might not actually get any higher. On the other hand, despite the pipeline for mediocre house music that radio and Hot Hits Australia are extremely fond of (see "Sway My Way"), "Remember" is not yet playlisted on Hot Hits Australia, so it could actually get a big boost any moment now. For the record this is Becky Hill's 2nd ever top 50 hit after "Lose Control". There's also a new entry for Russ, sampling Russ(ell Crowe) and getting the popularity boost of an Ed Sheeran guest spot. This is his first ever chart entry here I believe. Harry Styles is #1 for a 7th week. You know he's safe when #2 is The Weeknd's "The Highlights", which is running behind on streams and severely lacks the physical sales that are holding Harry up high. "The Highlights" debuted at #2 and this is its 2nd ever week at #2. Also in exciting Weeknd news, the ARIA Charts chucked a bunch of missing songs onto the chart this week, including several songs by The Weeknd. "Die For You" nearly made the top 50 for the first time ever this week. Australian singer-songwriter Amber Lawrence scores her first ever top 10 peak this week, usually prone to sticking around the #40 slot. ODESZA chart for the 2nd time though a touch lower than their previous #13 peak. Tyler, The Creator was headlining at Splendour In The Grass which is possibly the biggest festival in the country nowadays so his last two albums vault up. Near the bottom of the chart are new entries for Joey Bada$$, Jack White & Alex The Astronaut, all lower than they charted before so who knows if they've got all the formats on their side or not. Next week Beyonce might get to the top but I don't know how many singles chart entries she'll be allowed.

It's a relatively slow week with the only notable action being Steve Lacy vaulting into the top 10. He should be bound for top 5 but Hot Hits Australia is giving him the Dave treatment so it's hard to say at the moment. There are no new entries and just two re-entries. "No Role Modelz" manages to get a new peak after over a year in the chart. Harry Styles is still #1. Lizzo proves a relative threat by getting to #2, while one must note the casual climb of The Weeknd's "The Highlights" which is being buoyed by half the tracklist creeping into the Spotify chart lately. Steve Lacy finds the right time to have a crossover hit as he scores his first top 50 entry and quite high at that. On the other hand, beabadoobee also charts for the first time, not off the back of her crossover hit so things are funny sometimes. Actually j-hope, Jay Chou, Sabrina Carpenter & black midi are all charting for the first time, notably black midi have the #1 vinyl album this week.

There's still nothing in the form of competition so she's very safe for a 6th week. OneRepublic are slowing down but have scored their 4th top 10 hit. Metallica also reach the top 20 for the first time since 2008. It's obviously a slow week though as The Killers are back in the top 30 for the first time in months. Incidentally it's a big week of nostalgia, for all the eras. Yung Gravy's Rick Astley sample gets his first ever entry, Fivio Foreign has his first credited entry (obviously part of the "Body" remix) with his Far East Movement sample, and regrettably this quarter's egregious forced hit is DJ R3HAB's 6th latest single, in which he recruits Amy Shark to butcher Bic Runga's "Sway", a big hit on the antipodean shores in the late '90s and also in "American Pie" if that's your thing. It's been big on radio for weeks and of course this week the inevitable Hot Hits Australia placement was nabbed, so we're stuck with it for months. The one actually original debut comes from Steve Lacy, who first charted last year with "Dark Red" though this is his first time in the top 50 (The Internet's last two albums both made the top 50 though). He's shooting for top 10 next week. Harry Styles is still #1. Closest competition this week is from yet another re-issue. This time it's "Circus Animals", which to any Australian readers, is the album that has "You Got Nothing I Want", "Forever Now" and "When The War Is Over". To non-Australian readers I apologise if that last sentence was complete gibberish. Also Jimmy Barnes from Cold Chisel still was and is the screaming cowboy meme. The only real debut comes from Brent Faiyaz thanks to a strong streaming performance. Next week ARIA seem to think Lizzo is a chance to beat Harry Styles, while j-hope & beabadoobee will try to get a slice of the action.
