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.

Feels like more of a product of country radio*'s system of glacially increasing spins for 6-12 months which allows it to exploit Billboard's tenuous rules to keep it on the chart since it's 'still growing on radio' *most formats seem to be skirting this way lately but country is the most egregious.

Though the rest of her album is out, Billie Eilish does climb up to #3 with "Happier Than Ever", matching "my future" as the equal highest charter from it. The Weeknd gets his 5th ever top 10 debut and tragically Dr. Luke has two songs in the top 10 currently. For those keeping track, there are now two Doja Cat songs missing from the chart, next week possibly three. KSI gets his 2nd top 50 hit. Nobody should need to care that The Voice Australia is back on TV, and while last week we had a gracious reprieve of Lewis Capaldi in the top 50, we can't always be so lucky so auditioners on The Voice covered two of his songs in two days. For the first time ever, "Before You Go" hit #1 on iTunes which is enough to get back into the top 50. They also covered "Bruises" which you might scarcely recall was also covered on The Voice Australia last year which is how it got its solitary week in the top 50 before. Despite the fact that this was on the Sunday of last week, the magic of streaming momentum means that he'll probably still be climbing again next week. As predicted, Billie Eilish leverages big vinyl sales to manage a 2nd week at #1. The highest debut of the week comes from Youngn Lipz, one of the bigger names in the modern wave of Australian hip hop most noted for the ARIA Charts' severe inability to keep up with it. He's never charted before because his biggest hits just weren't scanned, with the not-counting exception of his contribution to the remix of "Rover" last year. Just a little lower is a vinyl return for George Harrison's first album. While I am on the run of reminding everyone that our charts are fraudulent, Nas gets his first top 50 album in nearly a decade. It's not that he's seeing new found popularity, but that 2018's "NASIR" didn't get its streams to count which I suspect should've netted a top 20 debut. Riding off a run of moderately popular singles, local singer MAY-A charts for the first time with an EP. A similar result with a different approach is true of Tom Cardy, who is largely famous for appearing on triple j radio to do song parodies. Next week The Killers could perhaps take the top spot, charting alongside Luke Hemmings, Jungle, Polish Club & $uicideBoy$

Word is that if Billboard maintain their formula that it took the #1 spot a few months ago, but entirely possible that it'll be nerfed with regard to the state of the charts in the 2020s
