Australian Charts: Tones and I spends sixth week at no 1

It’s a sixth straight week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart for local artist Tones and I and her track “Dance Monkey”, which is joined over on the albums chart at No.3 by her debut EP.

“Dance Monkey” and its six weeks at No.1 makes it the second longest running chart-topper for 2019, behind the 13 broken weeks racked up by this weeks No.3 single “Old Town Road” for Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, and surpassing the five weeks achieved by “7 Rings” in February for Ariana Grande, and as I mentioned last week its the longest run at No.1 for a solo Australian Female singer since Merril Bainbridge placed her “Mouth” on the top spot for 6 weeks in 1995 and the last local act to spend this long at the chart summit was last years No.1 song “Youngblood” for 5 Seconds of Summer for eight weeks from late May until mid-July in 2018.

Around the world “Dance Monkey” continues its chart dominance, scoring three more No.1 placings this week in Denmark, Finland and across the ditch in New Zealand, while it remains at the top also in Ireland (2nd week) and Norway (5th week), but loses the top spot in Sweden after three weeks. It rises in Germany (19 to No.8), Austria (18 to No.10), France (45 to No.18), England (40 to No.31), Canada (93 to No.86) and debuts in both The Netherlands (#23) and Belgium (#18).

The (almost) eternal No.2 song “Senorita” for Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello again stays at No.2 in Australia for a ninth week (plus it has scored one week at #1 and one week at #3), while it is only at the top this week in Canada (2nd week), with a rebound of one place each for both “Old Town Road” by Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus (logging a 22nd week within the Top 10, equal fifth longest running Top 10 of all time in Australia), and “Beautiful People” for Ed Sheeran and Khalid to No.3 and No.4 respectively, the Ed and Khalid track now back to its former peak for a sixth week (it’s also only spent four weeks at No.5 during it’s ten weeks on the chart and within the Top 10), while Ed retains the English No.1 single with “Take Me Back to London” for a second week.

Post Malone issued his third album “Hollywood’s Bleeding” on Friday and with the albums third single leaving the Top 10 this week he replaces it with the new sets fourth single “Circles” (with no nominated guest vocalist) which debuts at No.5, the same place his track “Goodbyes” entered and peaked at 9 weeks ago. This now becomes his ninth Top 10 and eighth Top 5 single here in Australia too.

Holding their peaks this week are “The Git Up” by Blanco Brown (third week at peak) and “One Thing Right” for Marshmello and Kane Brown (second week at peak, newly ▲Platinum in sales) at No.6 and No.7 respectively, while last weeks bulleting track into the Top 10 in the title track of the new Taylor Swift album “Lover” drops back down five places to No.8. Rising back up one spot to No.9 is the Lil’ Tecca track “Ran$om”, helped by his debut mixtape entering the albums chart this week, and the former No.1 track “Bad Guy” for Billie Eilish is down two spots to No.10 and logging its 23rd week within the Top 10, making it the equal fourth longest running Top 10 single in Australian chart history, tying with “Closer” for The Chainsmokers (2016/17) and “Shotgun” for George Ezra (2018), while it’s drop to No.10 could be it’s last week inside the Top 10.
