Chart Wrap: Swift debuts at #1, Sheeran holds steady

Hot 100 The Hot 100 sees Ed Sheeran hold #1 and Taylor Swift hold #2 for a second week in a row with Thinking Out Loud and Shake It Off, respectively. Calvin Harris & John Newman’s Blame has made it back up to #3, its previous peak; although it looks as if it won’t be moving higher anytime soon. Becky G’s Shower has progressed further up the Top 10 now sitting at #7, up from last week’s #10. At #8 is a new entry in the Top 10 from The Script with Superheroes, which is up from last week’s #18 and is one of this week’s most moved tracks. Sam Smith’s I’m Not The Only One also makes its entry into the Top 10 at #9, three positions up from last week’s #12. There are some high movers this week in the form of Jessica Mauboy’s Can I Get A Moment which is up at #19 from #29, Sigma & Paloma Faith’s Changing, which received a burst of airplay pushing it to #33 from last week’s #55 and Peking Duk’s latest single Take Me Over, which is now at #46 from last week’s #57, a new high point for the track. This week’s most moved track is a re-current one in the form of Lorde’s Royals which only just re-entered the chart last week. It is now back at #68, up from last week’s #94, a total of 26 positions. There are also some notable debuts within the Top 50 from Guy Sebastian & 2 Chainz’s Stay With Me which enters at #48, Marlisa’s Stand By You at #32 and Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding’s Outside at #26. ARIA Singles  Ed Sheeran still tops the ARIA Singles chart as well with Thinking Out Loud sitting at #1 for its third week now. Marlisa also still holds #2 with Stand By You after debuting there last week. Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off has managed to make back some ground after falling down to #4 by moving back up to #3 this week. It’s only a matter of time before this track starts to slowly fall out of the Top 10. At #5 is a new debut from X-Factor runner up Dean Ray’s Coming Back, meanwhile Meghan Trainor’s Lips Are Movin debuts at #7, both exceptionally high debuts for the Singles charts.  One other noteworthy debut falls just short of the Top 10, Justice Crew’s Rise & Fall which enters at #11.
