Australian Charts: That Luis Fonsi Thing Is Still No 1 But Noah Cyrus Stiffs

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee along with added vocals by Justin Bieber are at No.1 for an eighth straight week with their Spanish infused hit “Despacito”, becoming Justin’s longest run at the top in Australia now.

Previously JB had spent seven weeks at No.1 with “Love Yourself” (from mid-Dec, 2015), but now that “Despacito” has stayed at the top for an eighth week it is now his longest run at the chart summit, and the song is now one week shy of the longest run at the top of the Australian charts for a Spanish sung song, the current leader on nine weeks is the “Macarena” by Los Del Rio which was at the top from the start of September to the end of October in 1996. The other feat achieved this week is that Justin has now notched up 23 weeks at No.1 here from his five chart-topping singles, placing him equal FIRST for this decade on the list of ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: 2010’s; Singles’, matching the 23 weeks achieved by Rihanna (who is at #3 this week). He also moves up on the list for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: 1940-2017’ from outright 29th to now equal 26th alongside the 23 weeks racked up by John Farnham (from 4 #1’s, one during each four decades from the 60’s to the 90’s).

Niall Horan was in the country last week for a promo tour, and he sang his current single “Slow Hands” on ‘The Voice: Grand Final’ last Sunday night (2nd July), which helps the track to rebound three spots and land at a new peak of No.2 this week (previously it had spent two broken weeks at No.3), and it is the #1 digital song for this week too (#7 Streamed), whilst his former band-mate Liam Payne drops down one spot to No.4 with “Stript That Down”, which is newly ▲Platinum. Last weeks No.2 “Wild Thoughts” for DJ Khaled with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller is back down one spot to No.3 and newly certified Gold (●) in sales, whilst DH Khaled’s other Top 5 entry “I’m the One” with Justin Bieber moves down a spot to No.5 this week.

In the USA Singles Chart this week the Imagine Dragons track “Thunder” leapt from 11 to 6, here it does a similar movement, up six places from last weeks #12 to this week a new peak of No.6, becoming the bands fourth Top 10 hit in Australia, and it matches the peak of their first Top 10 hit “Radioactive”, which climbed to No.6 in mid-July of 2013 (almost four years ago), and their first Top 10 entry since 2016’s ensemble hit “Sucker for Pain” (HP-7), plus they also sit at No.6 over on the albums chart this week with their third album “Evolve” (#1 in Canada this week).

Down a place each are Shawn Mendes’ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” (he song this song on the Graham Norton Show last Friday the 30th June) and “Mama” for Jonas Blue and William Singe to No.7 and No.8 respectively, whilst Jonas and William pick up a sales cert of ▲Platinum this week and the same sales achievement has been given to the current Charlie Puth track “Attention”, on hold at No.10 for a second week. The second song climbing into the Top 10 this week is the latest track for Calvin Harris, who is joined by Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and Big Sean for “Feels”, which leaps up seventeen places to land at No.9, becoming Calvin’s thirteenth Top 10 hit in Australia, the fifteenth for Katy Perry, the sixth for Pharrell Williams and finally the third for Big Sean here. This is the first of four tracks from his new album that have charted to have reached the Top 10 here too, with that album debuting within the Top 5 this week too.

UP:
* For a fourth week within the Top 20, “Your Song” by Rita Ora again climbs a few places, this week up two spots to a new peak of No.14.
* After returning to the Top 100 last week at No.20, the Jessica Mauboy track “Fallin'” this week climbs five places to land a new chart height of No.15.
* French Montana is at No.21 for a second week with “Unforgettable”, which is now Gold (●) in sales.
* Katy Perry was in the country on a massive promo tour this past week, performing several songs during ‘The Voice: Grand Final’ (July 2nd) last Sunday, which results in not only her Calvin Harris guest spot jumping into the Top 10, but the three tracks from her “Witness” album (TW-4) climbing back up the chart. Firstly the second of two songs sung on The Voice was “Swish Swish”, which had previously peaked at No.37, and now this week it halves it position from last week, leaping up twenty-two spots to land at a new peak of No.22, and her first sung song was “Chained to the Rhythm” with the final four contestants, and that track returns at No.77, whilst “Bon Appetit” is back up one spot to No.99.
* Drake debuted last week with “Signs”, which this week moves up seven spots to a new peak of No.32.
* The new Calvin Harris album debuting at No.5 also helps his other tracks from the album to move up this week, with “”Slide” (HP-11) back up fourteen spots to No.38, “Rollin'” (HP-40) is also up fourteen spots to No.53, and re-entering at No.93 is “Heatstroke” (HP-23).
* Sam Hunt is spending his third week within the Top 50, up five spots to a new peak of No.43 with his first chart entry “Body Like a Back Road”.
* Camila Cabello returns to her original peak position of No.45 with “Crying in the Club”.
* Bruno Mars’ second single from his third album “24k Magic” was the ballad “Versace on the Floor”, which returns to the chart at a new peak of No.57 thanks to it now having a David Guetta remix.
* Three more tracks return to the lower part of the chart this week, “This Town” for Niall Horan at No.95 (thanks to his promo tour), “Treat You Better” for Shawn Mendes at No.98 and back in at #100 is Calum Scott with “Dancing on My Own”.

DOWN:
* Justin Bieber is back down to just two songs within the Top 10 this week, as his guest vocals on the David Geutta track “2U” (HP-2, WI10-3) drops down three to No.11 and also down three places and leaving the Top 10 for the first time too is “Malibu” (HP-3×3, WI10-7) for Miley Cyrus to No.12.
* The Ed Sheeran track “Shape of You” is down a couple of places to No.13 this week and newly certified 7x▲Platinum in sales. His “Castle on the Hill” drops back down six to No.44, he still holds the record for ‘Longest Charted Single’ as “Thinking Out Loud” is down three to No.83 in its 134rd week within the Top 100 and even though it falls out of the Top 100, his track “Dive” is now ▲Platinum.
* Atter peaking at No.13 last week, the latest Selena Gomez track “Bad Liar” drops back down four to No.17.
* Spending only its second week outside of the Top 20, the Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson track “Symphony” is down six to No.24 and newly certified 2x▲Platinum in sales.
* Martin Garrix and Troye Sivan move down one spot to No.26 with “There for You”, which is newly Gold (●) in sales, whilst Martin’s “Scared to Be Lonely” is down ten to No.73.

NEW ENTRIES:
* #19 – Count on Me by Judah Kelly is the winner’s single for The Voice 2017, performed by 20 year old Judah from Townsville, QLD, and it becomes his second chart entry, as last week his rendition of the Leonard Cohen track “Hallelujah” debuted, this week that track is up three places to a new peak of No.61. This song came in at No.3 on the digital chart but failed to crack the streaming Top 40, but the song has charted higher than the previous two years winners’ entries, as last years Alfie Arcuri only cracked the Top 90, whilst 2015’s Anja Nissan reached the Top 50.

* #35 – Paper Planes by Hoseah Partsch is the lead single by the runner-up for The Voice 2017 and his ballad comes in at No.7 on the digital chart, and is the first for a runner-up from the show to chart the same week at the winners’ single. This the first chart entry too for the 18 year old soul/RnB singer/New Zealander who lives in Melbourne.

* #64 – Sun Comes Up by Rudimental feat James Arthur is the eleventh Top 100 entry for the four piece UK Drum&Bass act, who last charted here in 2016 with “Healing” (HP-95, 12th Sept, 1 wk), and now the fourth chart entry for James Arthur, whose previous entry “Say You Won’t Let Go” (HP-1×7, Oct 2016) is sitting at No.67 this week in its 42nd week within the Top 100.

* #78 – More Than You Know by Axwell/\Ingrosso sees two of three members of Swedish House Mafia team up as a duo, with both having both previously charted one solo song entry in 2005 (Axwell) and 2013 (Ingrosso).

* #92 – Who Dat Boy by Tyler, The Creator is the first singles chart entry for the US rapper who has seen his first three albums all hit our charts. This track is taken from his July 21st due fourth album “Flower Boy” and features guest vocals from A$AP Rocky too.

* #94 – I’m Stuck by Noah Cyrus was in the country on a promo tour and sang this her third single on ‘The Voice:Grand Final’ (2nd July) last Sunday night, and this now becomes her second chart entry as earlier this year she hit No.67 with “Make Me (Cry)”.
