Drake holds for a seventh broken week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart this week with his track “One Dance”, which is also spending a seventh week at the top in the US and now 12th week in the UK (a new record for this century over there).

For a ninth week within the Top 2 are Calvin Harris and Rihanna with “This is What You Came for”, having now spent seven accumulated weeks at No.2 and two weeks in the top spot, plus the track achieves 2x▲Platinum in sales this week too. The Veronicas score their tenth Top 10 single in Australia this week as their new single “In My Blood” bullets up nineteen places to land at No.3, also becoming their fifth Top 3 single in the process. The girls released the physical CD Single for the track last week, and then last Sunday (26th May) the pair sat in as guest coaches on The Voice while The Madden Brothers were in Europe for a Good Charlotte tour, and then at the end of the night The Veronicas performed their new track.

Like this weeks No.2 holding place, Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” is on hold at No.4, having now spent four broken weeks at both No.3 and No.4 during its eight weeks on the chart. “Too Good” for Drake and Rihanna drops back down two places to No.5 and the third and final stable track in the Top 10 for the week are The Chainsmokers with Daya on “Don’t Let Me Down”, which is helped this past week by a contestant on The Voice performing the song.

The second song climbing into the Top 10 this week is by Shawn Mendes entitled “Treat You Better”, which climbs five spots to land at No.10, becoming his second Top 10 entry here after “Stitches” (TW-81) made it to No.4 back in December 2015 and again in January 2016.
