It’s the third week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart for Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings” track, the song also atop the charts in New Zealand, England, Ireland (all for a third week too), America and Canada (2nd week in both territories).
“7 Rings” becomes the equal longest running No.1 song for 2019, matching the three weeks achieved from the first week of the year by “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee which holds at No.2 for a third straight week, but with Ariana’s new album issued on Friday it will most likely help to keep “7 Rings” at the top for a few more weeks. On the list for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Singles; 2010’s’ she moves from equal 15th to now equal fourteenth alongside Bruno Mars (also 3 #1’s with a tally of ten weeks at the top during this decade), while on the listing for ‘Most Weeks at No.1: Singles (1940 to 2019)’, she moves from equal 98th to now equal 84th alongside other acts with three No.1’s and ten accumulated weeks at the top like Nelly, Suzi Quatro, Roxette, The Seekers and Del Shannon.
The highest new entry of the week is the third single taken from the forthcoming debut album for Billie Eilish called “When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” (due 29th of March), the new track coming in at No.3 is entitled “Bury a Friend”, becoming not only her third Top 10 single in Australia, but now her highest charted single too, beating the peak of her first entry “Lovely” with Khalid (HP-5, peaked July 2018), with her new albums first two entries being “You Should See Me in a Crown” (HP-47, TW-96) and “When the Party’s Over” (HP-10, TW-22).
The second Top 10 entry this week for Post Malone is “Wow” holding at it’s peak of No.4 for a fourth broken week, while down two places to No.5 is the Ava Max song “Sweet but Psycho”, which goes from Gold certified to now 2x▲Platinum in sales. Halsey is down one spot to No,6 with her recent No.2 peaking track “Without Me”, while climbing three spots to a new peak of No.7 is the Sam Smith and Normani duet “Dancing with a Stranger” which spent the past two weeks at No.10 and is newly Gold (●) in sales. Dropping two places apiece are “Sicko Mode” for Travis Scott and Drake, “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” for Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus and also “Shallow” for Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper to numbers eight, nine and ten respectively. The 15 weeks within the Top 10 for “Shallow” also makes it now the second longest running Top 10 single for Lady Gaga since her second chart entry and No.1 song here “Poker Face” logged sixteen weeks within the ten back in 2008/9.
