After four weeks at No.2, the Calvin Harris and Rihanna track “This is What You Came for” climbs to the top of the ARIA Singles Chart, becoming the second No.1 for Calvin and now the tenth in Australia for Rihanna.
“This is What You Came For” (#2 DL/#3 Str) becomes the 1053rd (1940 to 2016) No.1 Single in Australia and the 488th (1983 to 2016) for ARIA, plus the ninth for 2016 and the 25th for the Sony (direct) label, their last was “Wings” by Delta Goodrem (17th Aug, 2015). The new No.1 also is the ninth for a Scottish act, and Calvin becomes the ONLY Scottish artist to land a second chart-topping single here in Australia, since the first act did so back in late June of 1961 (Andy Stewart with “A Scottish Soldier”).
Rihanna has landed her tenth No.1 single here and matches the ten that Kylie Minogue has achieved (and Nat King Cole also), placing her equal ninth on the list of ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Overall’ and is still the leader for this decade too, as she moves away from the tie with Pharrell at the top of the list for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Singles; 2010’s’, now Rihanna has 22 weeks for this decade, one ahead of Pharrell, and Rihanna still has the most No.1 songs for this decade at seven. Calvin now enters that list too at No.22, having previously been at the top at the end of August last year with “How Deep is Your Love” for a single week with the act Disciples.
This is the first time that the word ‘Came’ has appeared in a No.1 title, the 13th for a ‘What’ and the 14th for a song with ‘This’, and overall the 19th with ‘For’; in fact one song has two of those words in previously, Dionne Warwick with her only Australian No.1 single, “That’s What Friends are For” (3rd March, 1986 for 1 week).
So after four weeks Drake drops down one spot to No.2 with his current UK (7th wk) and US (3rd broken week) No.1 song “One Dance” (#5 DL/#1 Str), whilst the new No.1 digital single is Pink and “Just Like Fire” (#1 DL/#14 Str) which is back up one spot to No.3 having previously been the national No.1 seven weeks ago; its rise is due to the opening of the film its taken from ‘Alice: Through the Looking Glass’, plus Pink’s “Live in Australia” was screened on Monday night after ‘The Voice: Battles’.
Justin Timberlake is down one spot to No.3 with his track “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” (#3 DL/#6 Str) and up one place to a new peak of No.5 is Flume with “Say it” (#6 DL/#2 Str), helped by his second album “Skin” debuting at the top of the albums chart this week, whilst also landing a new peak are DNCE with “Cake by the Ocean” (#7 DL/#11 Str) who are up to No.6. The Chainsmokers and Daya fall two places to No.7 with “Don’t Let Me Down” (#9 DL/#5 Str), which is newly certified 2x▲Platinum in sales this week.
“Panda” (#11 DL/#4 Str) by Desiigner is up one place to a new chart height of No.8 and landing her seventh consecutive Top 10 single in Australia is Meghan Trainor who rises three spots to a new peak of No.9 with the second single from her second album “Thank You” (TW-7) entitled “Me Too” (#4 DL/#33 Str), the same position that the albums first single “No” (TW-38, #31 DL) peaked at back in mid-April, whilst holding at No.10 for a second week is the third Top 10 track for Galantis entitled “No Money” (#10 DL/#8 Str)
