Hot 100 Fast Facts: Rudimental, Ed Sheeran & Logic

Can Macklemore relive the good old days?

It seems like all the Australian music talk lately has been centered around Macklemore. Naturally, ‘Good Old Days’ jumps 42 frames to #20 on its second week in the chart. Macklemore has two #1 Hot 100 singles under his belt already with ‘Same Love’ and ‘Can’t Hold Us’. It’s been a long time since either was at the top and with two singles swimming around the upper tier (the other being ‘Glorious’), Macklemore may well go the distance.    

The clouds have cleared for Rudimental

When Rudimental’s ‘Sun Comes Up’ was serviced to radio in July, commercial was not shy in showing its affection. After two weeks the single was tracking nicely at #23. Since then, it’s struggled to find its feet dipping as low as low as #38.

Now, more than two months on, the tables have turned and ‘Sun Come Up’ is peaking at #16 thanks to a spike in spins on numerous Hit stations and KIIS 106.5.

Ed Sheeran times his run to perfection

After some months of quiet on the Sheeran front, it was inevitable that another hit was coming sooner or later. ‘Perfect’ is the latest cab off the rank and finds its debut spot at #27 this week.

The track is Sheeran’s second most popular song on Spotify right now behind ‘Shape Of You’. If it all goes to plan, ‘Perfect’ will mark Sheeran’s fifth Hot 100 #1.

Logic is struggling to convert streaming success into radio play

‘1-800-273-8255’ is riding high on the ARIA Singles Chart at #5. That doesn’t line up on the Hot 100, however, with the track peaking at #29 this week.

It’s had five weeks to take a real shot at the summit but has failed to make a real impact on the airwaves, despite a solid backing from the Nova network.
