After one week away from the ARIA Singles Chart top-spot, the Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus track “Old Town Road” reclaims the top of the Australian Singles Chart, for an overall fifth week at the top here.

“Old Town Road” retained it’s No.1 streaming spot and is sitting at No.2 (duet), No.11 (Lil’ Nas X only) and No.22 (Remix) on the digital charts, while it held again at the top in New Zealand, America (7th week for both) and Canada (6th week). This is the second song for 2019 to reclaim the top spot, as at the start of March Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper regained the No.1 throne with “Shallow” after sixteen weeks away from the top, whereas “Old Town Road” was only gone for a single week from the top spot.

Last weeks No.1 debut for Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber with “I Don’t Care” falls to No.2 this week (#1 digital and #2 streaming), while the song debuted at No.2 this past week in both America and Canada, plus it held for a second week at No.1 in Ireland and England. On Friday it was announced that this track was to be taken from a 12th of July new set from Ed called “No.6 Collaborations Project”, which will contain ALL duets and collaborations with Ed, as well as his next song “Cross Me” with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock, which was issued on Friday, the full set containing 15 tracks.

The first of five new certifications for Billie Eilish (4 tracks and her album) occurs for her former No.1 song “Bad Guy” which climbs from Gold to now 2x▲Platinum in sales, after which it’s a third week at it’s peak and entry position for the Shawn Mendes track “If I Can’t Have You”; at No.3 and No.4 respectively, while Shawn continues his multi-four-peaks after “Stitches” (4 weeks at #4), “Treat You Better” (3 weeks at #4) and “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” (2 weeks at #4).

The debut studio album for Lewis Capaldi enters within the Top 10 this week and at the top in England (where is set a record for the fastest selling album for 2019, so far), and that helps his first entry here “Someone You Loved” to rise two places to a new peak of No.5, plus it also scores its first certification and is newly ▲Platinum in sales. Dominic Fike’s “3 Nights” track dips down one spot to No.6. after which are more new certs for “SOS” by Avicii and Aloe Blacc (8 to a new peak of No.7, newly Gold (●)) and “Sucker” for Jonas Brothers (9 to 8, from Gold to now 2x▲Platinum). Post Malone’s “Sunflower” is back up one spot to No.9 and logging its 30th week within the Top 10 (still the longest running Top 10 ever in Australia) and also back up one spot to No.10 for a twelfth week inside the ten is Khalid with “Talk”.
