Local Aussie artist Tones and I remains swinging at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart tree for a fifth straight week with her second single “Dance Monkey”, which is at the top in three other countries this week too.

“Dance Monkey” remains for a fourth week at the summit in Norway and a third week in Sweden, while it jumps from 11 to No.1 in Ireland, becoming the first Australian act at the top of their charts since Sia teamed with Sean Paul for her track “Cheap Thrills” (5 weeks from 31st of March, 2016). The Tones and I track is also at No.2 in Finland and jumps from 10 to No.2 in New Zealand, with a No.3 placing in Denmark also. In Austria it jumps thirteen places to No.18, in Germany 39 to No.19 in its second week on their charts. In England it only rises from 48 to No.40 and in France it jets up from 70 to No.45, while lastly it debuted in Canada at No.93 this week.

The Tones and I track is also now the equal second longest running No.1 song in Australia for 2019, tying at five weeks with Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings” (5 weeks from 28th of Jan, 2019) and the current five week running No.1 song “Dance Monkey” also becomes the longest continual run at No.1 by a local female singer since 1995’s “Mouth” by Merrill Brainbrige logged six straight weeks at the top from the 21st of May, 1995 (“Sweet About Me” by Gabriella Cilmi scored five broken weeks at No.1 in 2008). And with Toni releasing her debut EP on Friday called “The Kids are Coming” the song could stay at the top for a few more weeks.

Stuck at No.2 again this week is the Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello track “Senorita” (HP-1 for one week), which this weeks claims the top spot for the first time in both the U.S.A. and Canada, while it also remains at the top again in New Zealand (8th week), but loses the top in England, Ireland and Germany.

All eighteen tracks from the new Taylor Swift album called “Lover” are within the Top 100 this week, and with her seventh studio album debuting at the top this week, the albums title track becomes the new sets third Top 10/Top 5 single after debuting at No.15 last week it jumps to No.3 this week, becoming her overall 19th Top 10 single in Australia. Taylor’s jump pushes down a single spot both of the tracks “Old Town Road” by Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus (21st week inside the Top 10, and now equal sixth longest running Top 10 of all time) and “Beautiful People” for Ed Sheeran and Khalid to No.4 and No.5 respectively, while Ed scores a new No.1 single in England this week with “Take Me Back to London” with Stormzy.

Blanco Brown holds at his peak of No.6 for a second week with “The Git Up”, while rising two places to a new peak of No.7 is the Marshmello and Kane Brown track “One Thing Right”, followed by dropping tracks “Bad Guy” for Billie Eilish (5 to No.8, 22nd week in the Top 10, now equal fifth longest Top 10 run in Australian chart history), “Goodbyes” for Post Malone with Young Thug (7 to No.9) and “Ransom” for Lil’ Tecca (8 to No.10), with his track scoring Gold (●) after only three weeks on the chart, while he dropped his debut album “We Love You Tecca” on Friday.

UP:
* The current Sam Smith single “How Do You Sleep?” has only peaked at No.11 so far, and this week is stable at No.13 and newly certified Gold (●) in sales.
* The older Taylor Swift singles from her latest album “Lover” rebound thanks to the albums entry at the top of the albums’ chart this week, with MTV VMA winner for ‘Video of the Year’ (awarded this past week) going to her track “You Need to Calm Down” (24 to 14), followed by “The Archer” (88 to 36) and “ME!” (70 to 41).
