Calling “Shotgun” at the No.1 spot again is George Ezra for a fifth straight week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart.
“Shotgun” is now the equal third longest running No.1 for 2018, tying with the carry-over chart topper from the previous year in “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran alongside “Be Alright” for Dean Lewis (Aug-Sep) both sitting at 5 weeks apiece, while higher tallies were achieved by 5 Seconds of Summer with “Youngblood” (8 wks) and “God’s Plan” by Drake (11 wks). “Shotgun” is again the No.1 digital track and No.2 on the streaming chart, plus it holds for a third week atop the New Zealand charts too.
Benny Blanco with Halsey and Khalid log an eighth broken week at their peak of No.2 with “Eastside” (No.1 streamed, No.13 digital), while the two guest acts on that song also have their own solo Top 10 entries this week as Khalid is on hold at No.9 with “Better” and Halsey is up one place from her debut last week to land at a new peak of No.10 performing “Without Me”, which is now her first solo Top 10 entry and overall her third Top 10 appearance (The Chainsmokers ‘Closer’ was her first in 2017).
Moving up one spot to a new peak of No.3 is “Happier” for Marshmello and Bastille, which for both acts is now their highest charted singles in Australia, with the song swapping places with the former No.1 track “Be Alright” for Dean Lewis down a spot to No.4. The next four tracks also do a one place swap around also, with the returning UK No.1 (6th week) “Promises” for Calvin Harris and Sam Smith back up one spot to No.5 and swapping over with “I Love it” for Lil’ Pump and Kayne West down one to No.6, and Loud Luxury are up one spot to a new peak of No.7 with “Body”, pushing down the returning German No.1 single (11th week at No.1 there) “In My Mind” for Dynoro moving down a place to No.8, and the track is newly certified Gold (●) in sales.
