Hottest 100 Acts Storm The ARIA Singles Chart

Miley Cyrus' Flowers have bloomed for a third week at #1 in Australia.

The chart-topper has also seen her posey blossom for another week at the top in England, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden (all third week also), The U.S.A., Canada, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark and atop the Global Singles Chart (all for a second week), while it loses the top spot in Germany after a sole week atop their chart. Flowers also becomes the longest run at #1 since Mariah Carey spent three weeks from December 19th, 2022, at the singles summit with her seasonal return, while Miley now increases her tally of 'Weeks at #1: Singles' to four weeks, the same amount for this decade as Adele (but from only one #1 song).

Last week eight of the Top 10 songs were on hold, but this week it is only four songs, with three of those being last week's Top 3 songs, who are all non-movers for a third consecutive week, as Kill Bill for SZA remains at #2 and Escapism for RAYE with 070 Shake holds its peak at #3 for a third time, while RAYE also issued her debut album My 21st Century Blues on Friday (Feb. 3rd), so that could push the song higher next week, while it also ranked as the 67th placed track on the triple j Hottest 100 for 2022 countdown.

The J100 effect can be seen on this week's ARIA report as twelve of the Top 200 tracks (11 from the T100) land within the Top 50, with the J100#1 voted track Say Nothing by Flume with MAY-A rebounding back up the chart 109 places to land at a new peak of #4, plus it's the track's first time within the Top 10, as it initially peaked at #16 upon entry 51 weeks ago, Feb. 14th, 2022, while the song last appeared within the Top 100 on June 27th, 2022 logging 20 weeks within the chart.

Sam Smith sees their fourth album Gloria debut at the top of the ARIA Album Chart this week, while its lead single Unholy with Kim Petras is only down one spot this week to #5, followed by two further single-place dips, Anti-Hero for Taylor Swift and Miss You for Oliver Tree with Robin Schulz to #6 and #7 respectively.

The J100#2 placed track of 2022 sees a rebound of nine places this week to land at #8, the Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal dance track B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All), scoring a ninth week within the Top 10 and its first time back within the Top 10 for this year, having last been this high on December 5th, 2022 (#10). After two weeks of sitting at its peak of #7 the Metro Boomin', The Weeknd and 21 Savage track Creepin' drops two places this week to #9, followed by the final three-week-non-mover in new Australian Idol judge/mentor Meghan Trainor with Made You Look at #10.

TOP 30

Zach Bryan was getting closer to re-peaking or passing his former peak of #15 with his Something In The Orange track last week as it rebounded to #16, but alas this week it drops six places to land down at #22, followed by a five-place fall to #23 for Heat Waves by Glass Animals.

Now that Elton John's national tour here is over (he plays again on March 23rd in Liverpool, England), he sees his former #1 song Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) drops down seven places this week to #26. A new Kid LAROI entry within the Top 20 this week helps his 17-week running former #1 with Justin Bieber and Stay to rise back up four spots this week to #27, with the other rise into the Top 30 going to the Luke Combs track The Kind Of Love We Make, back up six spots to #30, while he also lands a new entry at #16 on the ARIA New Singles Chart this week with Growin' Up and Gettin' Old.

TOP 40

Four songs climb into the Top 50 this week, the second of which jumps twenty-two places to score a new peak of #31, Players by Coi Leray, the first ever chart entry for the Boston singer and rapper, who issued her first mixtape in March 2018 and her debut album Trendsetter in April 2022. The song samples the 1983 #21 song The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, only the second rap single to chart in Australia and the first hip hop message-track (according to the Chuck D documentary series Fight The Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World, plus the song saw a remix issued two weeks ago which is helping it to rise, as this is the tracks third week within the Top 100 (80-53-31).

Tory Lanez's track The Color Violet sees a seven-place jump this week to a chart height of #39, now becoming their second highest charted song in Australia, which is followed by a two-place rise to #40 for Save Your Tears by The Weeknd, who is also up with his three-week-running former #49 song Die for You to #46. Ed Sheeran drops with both his Shivers (28 to #34) and Bad Habits (37 to #41), with Tom Odell's Another Love (29 to #36) and Ferrari for James Hype (33 to #38) also declining within the Top 40 section.

TOP 50

Big drops down this end of the chart go to SNAP for Rosa Linn dropping seven to #42, Forget Me by Lewis Capaldi tumbling ten spots to #44 and half-year (26 weeks) charted Afraid To Feel by LF System falls nine spots to #47. Last week's #22 Nonsense by Sabrina Carpenter and #32 Rumble by Skrillex with Fred again... and Flowdan both depart the Top 50 this week.

Lil' Uzi Vert rises back up four spots to #50 with his track Just Wanna Rock, while the final song to rise into the Top 50 this week is Taylor Swift with Lavender Haze, which saw an official video clip issued in the past week, which has helped the song to leap back up twenty-two places and land at #48, after it initially debuted and peaked at #2 on October 31st, 2022.

NEW ENTRY

* #14 - Love Again by The Kid LAROI (Columbia) is the second new track issued this year for the local rapper and singer, but his first to chart, as the earlier issued single I Can't Go Back to the Way it Was didn't chart within the Top 100 last week. Both tracks seem to be featured on his 2023 due debut album The First Time, while he previously spent a week at #1 with his mixtapes F**k Love on February 8th, 2021 (1 week only), and now this new entry becomes his 28th Top 100 Singles Chart appearance (six as guest, 22 as lead artist).
