Singles
Just three new songs managed to find a place in the top 50 on debut. This follows Taylor Swift week where she saw 16 tracks from her Folklore album flood the top 50 including five in the top 10 and 10 in the top 20. Swift’s Cardigan dropped from top spot to #5.
No new #1 this week though with Savage Love from Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo back on top for a fifth time in the past six weeks.
One of those three newcomers was strong enough to break into the top three in its first week. Take a bow Billie Eilish as she joins an elite club whose only other 2020 members for far are Eminem, Drake, Ariana Grande with Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. Eilish takes it to the next level though as she’s managed twice in 2020 to debut top three, something she shares with Swift who had two in the top three last week. Eilish’s new song is My Future which charts at #3 making it her 10th top 10 ARIA hit.
Joel Corry and MNEK are also new this week with Head & Heart debuting at #20.
The final new top 50 arrival belongs to Pop Smoke with Mood Swings in at #34. The track comes from the Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon album which sits at #5 again after five weeks on the chart. The Woo from the same album also climbs this week, from #30 to #18 after five weeks.
Something else that doesn’t happen often is having five tracks that topped the chart in the top 10 at the same time. That happens this week as Blinding Lights from The Weeknd sneaks back to #8 after 36 weeks on the chart.
