Ariana Grande logs a fourth week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart with her song “7 Rings”, plus she is also joined at No.2 by one of the many tracks from her fifth album “thank u, next”.

The “7 Rings” track is again at the top in New Zealand, America and Canada (also 4th week), and the song is also joined by a new debut at No.2 entitled “Break Up With Your Boyfriend, I’m Bored”, which took out the top spot in both England and Ireland this week, while her albums title track “thank u, next” rises back up four spots to land a thirteenth week inside the Top 10, giving Ariana the Top 2 singles and three songs within the Top 10, with Ariana now the first female artist since late June of 2012 to do this in Australia, back then Karise Eden had the top 3 singles, with “Stay With Me Baby” at No.1, “Hallelujah” at No.2 and “I Was Your Girl” at No.3, plus there was a fourth Top 10 single at No.5 with “You Won’t Let Me”.

These are some of the other multiple Top 10 entries since then to now…
* Drake in mid-July of 2018 had four Top 10 singles.
* Ed Sheeran had the top 2 songs on the first week of 2018 with ‘Perfect” at No.2 and his Eminem duet “River” debuted at No.2, prior to that he did tied-up the top two in early January of 2017 with “Shape of You” and “Castle on the Hill” holding the two spots for six weeks before Ed scored the Top 3 with the added song “How Would You Feel (Paean)” in early March.
* In September of 2017 Taylor Swift had the #1 and #3 songs with “Look What You Made Me Do” at the top and debuting at No.3 was “….Ready for it?”, the next week they were back to back at No.2 and No.3 respectively.
* And Taylor Swift also had the #2 and #3 spots in November of 2014 with “Blank Space” and “Shake it Off”.

On the list of ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Singles: 2010’s’ Ariana now moves from equal 14th to now equal twelfth alongside Post Malone who has also racked up eleven weeks from three No.1’s this decade. And on the overall listings (1940 to 2019) she moves from 84th to now equal 75th alongside Diana Ross (also eleven weeks at No.1 from three chart topping singles).

Ariana’s dual occupancy at the top of the charts pushes down last weeks Top 4 songs by one spot, with the Post Malone and Swae Lee track “Sunflower” down to No.3, last weeks highest entry for Billie Eilish and “Bury a Friend” is down a spot to No.4 and the second Post Malone Top 5 entry again is “Wow”, dropping one to No.5.

This past week The Grammy Awards were held, which helps current chart entry and three-time-winning track “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper to climb back up four spots to No.6, giving Gaga her sixteenth week within the Top 10, tying her previous record for the sixteen weeks racked up by her second chart entry “Poker Face” (November 2008 to late February 2009).
