5 Seconds of Summer continue to shine for an eighth week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart with their third albums title track “Youngblood”.

The last song to spend eight weeks at the top here was “Perfect” for Ed Sheeran from the 11th of December, 2017 up until the end of January 2018, while the song now becomes the equal second longest running No.1 song this decade by an Australian act, tying with the Gotye and Kimbra track “Somebody That I Used to Know” (8 wks from 15th of August, 2011), and the song is currently at No.2 in New Zealand, No.5 in Norway and Ireland, No.6 in Denmark, No.9 in Sweden and No.11 in England. For this decades listing of ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Singles; 2010’s’ the group moves from equal 16th to now equal 14th as they have now racked up nine overall weeks at No.1 during this decade, and now sit alongside Pink (5 #1’s) and Eminem (2 #1’s), while the song “Youngblood” is one of six songs that have now spent six weeks at No.1 during this decade including “Whistle” by Flo Rida (2012). “Blurred Lines” for Robin Thicke (2013), “7 Years” for Lukas Graham (2016) and the aforementioned “Perfect” and “Somebody That I Used to Know”, all tied as equal seventh longest running No.1 songs for this current decade, and “Youngblood” also holds the top spot on both the digital and streaming charts again this week.

Maroon 5 remain at the top in New Zealand for a second week (and lose the top spot to a new Drake entry in Canada), while here their track with Cardi B and “Girls Like You” holds at No.2 for a fifth straight week, while speaking of Drake he jumps up twelve spots to a new peak of No.3 with “In My Feelings”, which has had a viral dance craze this past week blow-up on YouTube, and Drake’s second and final Top 10/5 single this week is the entry that came in at No.3 last week “Don’t Matter to Me” with Michael Jackson, down one spot to No.4.

The highest non-Drake entry from last week for Dean Lewis and “Be Alright” leaps this week fourteen places to land at No.5, becoming the local singers first Top 10 hit in Australia, beating the No.12 peak of his debut single “Waves” which returns at No.97 this week, followed by Post Malone and “Better Now” which is down two spots to No.6. Last week “Solo” for Clean Bandit with Demi Lovato fell back three spots to No.10, and now this week it rebounds back to its former peak of No.7, while also climbing three spots to a new peak of No.8 is Juice WRLD and “Lucid Dreams”, and making a bigger climb into the Top 10 is “Nevermind” by Dennis Lloyd, up ten spots to land at a new peak of No.10, both scoring their first entries to the ten and the songs’ first week inside the Top 10, while in between this two and stable at No.9 is Anne-Marie with “2002”.
