Australian Charts: Tones and I Owns No 1 for 20th Week

An unprecedented 20th week at No.1 occurs this week for the worldwide smash single “Dance Monkey” for Tones and I with the song now 7x▲Platinum in sales, plus the tune also creates a new record at the top of the UK’s charts too.

“Dance Monkey” and its twentieth week at the top here is helped slightly this week by the fact that the song is being used in the TV promo’s for the 2020 season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ on Ch.10, while Toni is also benefitting from her four ARIA Award wins from a few weeks ago and her February headlining of the Laneway Festival around Australia, prior to which she starts the new year with three shows in New Zealand.

The big overseas news this week for the track “Dance Monkey” is its eleventh week at the summit in England, making the song now the longest running No.1 by a female artist ever on the UK singles chart, beating the ten weeks achieved by Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You” cover and Rihanna’s “Umbrella”, but with their Christmas chart week occurring in the next week there is a strong push for charity and classic seasonal tunes to take over the top spot next week. “Dance Monkey” remains again at No.1 overseas in Switzerland (13th week), Belgium (12th week), The Netherlands (also 11th week), Portugal (4th week) and in both Bulgaria and Canada (3rd week), while it sits at No.2 in Austria, France, New Zealand and Denmark, No.3 in Norway (after 16 broken weeks at No.1) and Germany, No.4 in Sweden and Finland, while it dips two places to No.13 in America after peaking last week at No.11 (so far).

Making a challenge here for the top spot is the current Dua Lipa track “Don’t Start Now”, which is up one spot to a new peak of No.2, matching the peak of her previously highest charted track in “New Rules” (peaked for 2 weeks in late Sept., 2017), with Dua swapping places with last weeks No.2 song “Roxanne” for Arizona Zervas which falls down one to No.3 and is newly Gold (●) in sales and logging a fifth week at No.1 in New Zealand. The next two songs are also former No.2 peaking songs which also swap places from last week in “Memories” for Maroon 5 (5 to No.4) and “Circles” for Post Malone (4 to No.5).

Holding at No.6 and landing a 2x▲Platinum in sales certification is Regard’s remix of “Ride it” which is followed by a new peak of No.7 for the second Tones and I Top 10 entry “Never Seen the Rain”, up one spot from last week. Also back up one spot to No.8 is the Lizzo track “Good as Hell” and down two places to No.9 is the current Billie Eilish Top 10 hit “everything i wanted” which is followed by a rebounding Lewis Capaldi debut single of “Someone You Loved” back up seven spots to No.10 for a sixth Top 10 appearance and a 21st week within the T10.

UP:
* Christmas climbers this week start with last years final No.1 song in “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey, up nine spots to No.11, followed by Wham! and “Last Christmas” up eight places top No.30 and Michael Buble’s returning and new-peaking entry “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” rises six places to a new peak of No.38, while there is a new entry from Taylor Swift and returning tracks at No.81 in “Santa Tell Me” for Ariana Grande and “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” for Band Aid 30 at No.89.
