Last week US brother-trio The Jonas Brothers scored their first Top 10 hit in Australia with their new song “Sucker”, which this week leaps up to the top of the ARIA Singles Chart to now become their first ever No.1 song here.
“Sucker” is the 1084th No.1 song in Australia (1940 to 2019), the 519th for ARIA (1983 to 2019), the fourth for 2019 and now the first for the three brothers, while in Australia it is on the Island Records label, becoming that labels 14th chart-topping song and first since Dean Lewis’ “Be Alright” (Aug 2018).
This is the second time that the world ‘Sucker’ has appeared in a No.1 song title, the last time was next week in 1991 (24th of March, 91) when Dimples D logged two weeks at the top with her ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ theme infused track “Sucker DJ”. This new No.1 song is also the new chart topper in New Zealand, Canada and America, with the U.S. charts last placing a boy-band at the top in “Bump, Bump, Bump” by B2K back in 2003 (no 1D, 5SOS, BTS or Wanted hit the top there), while here the last boy-band to claim a No.1 song was 5 Seconds of Summer with “Youngblood” (late May 2018), and also the last siblings to hit the top here were The Veronicas in July 2016 with “In My Blood”.
The Jonas Brothers become the 41st American Group to hit the top, plus they are also the 413th American act (solo, duo or group) to hit No.1, while “Sucker” is also the 697th chart-topping song performed by an America act, with another thing of note is that ALL four of this years No.1 songs have been performed by American acts (Post Malone, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga & Bradly Cooper) and all four have also started with the letter ‘S’ (Sunflower, 7 Rings, Shallow and now Sucker).
Scoring his sixth Top 2 single in Australia is rapper Post Malone with his song “Wow” which jumps up four places to a new peak of No.2, while his fifth Top 2 and third No.1 song “Sunflower” with Swae Lee is back up one spot to No.3. All these rises push down last weeks Top 3, with Ariana Grade’s “7 Rings” down two to No.4 and her runner-up song “Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” falling three places to No.6, while in-between those two is recent returning No.1 song “Shallow” for Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper which falls four spots this week to land at No.5.
Swapping places are “Dancing with a Stranger” for Sam Smith and Normani up one place to No.7, and down a spot to No.8 is “Talk” for Khalid. Cracking the Top 10 for the first time and up three spots to a new peak of No.9 is Dominic Fike with “3 Nights”, which also lands a new sales certification of ▲Platinum, and down one spot to No.10 is Ava Max with “Sweet But Psycho” as her new single enters at the bottom end of the Top 100.
