Dean Lewis lands a fifth straight week at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart with his track “Be Alright”, becoming now the equal third longest run at the top during 2018.
“Be Alright” ties with the five weeks spent at the start of the year at No.1 by Ed Sheeran and his track “Perfect”, while the second longest for 2018 is the 5 Seconds of Summer track “Youngblood” (8 wks) and Drake’s “God’s Plan” spent eleven week at the top from the start of February until mid-April to be this years longest running No.1. This could also be the last week at the top for Dean’s track as it is No.2 on both the digital and streaming charts this week, but has enough overall sales to lead this week.
The current No.1 streamed track is the fourth week No.1 New Zealand chart-topper “Eastside” for Benny Blanco with Halsey and Khalid (No.5 on the digital chart), which holds at No.2 for a fourth straight week, but it does pick up a ▲Platinum sales certification this week. The No.1 digital track (No.3 streamed) is the former UK and Irish No.1 song for George Ezra and “Shotgun” which logs a second week at its peak of No.3, while the current UK & Irish chart-topping song for Calvin Harris and Sam Smith with “Promises” (2nd week at the top in both countries) leaps up eight spots here to land at a new peak of No.4 helped by the recent remixes released, and this becomes the 15th Top 10 and 9th Top 5 for Calvin Harris and also the 6th Top 10 and Top 5 for Sam Smith.
The Maroon 5 and Cardi B track “Girls Like You” is back up two spots to No.5 and leaps from 1xP to now 3x▲Platinum in sales and is No.1 in Canada for a sixth broken week, while logging a 19th week within the Top 10 and on hold at No.6 are 5 Seconds of Summer with “Youngblood”, which is now the equal sixth longest running Top 10 single in Australian Chart history and for Australian acts it is now the third longest running Top 10 song and matches previous 19 weeks runs in the Top 10 hits as “The Pushbike Song” by The Mixtures (1971) and “Eagle Rock” by Daddy Cool (1971).
Gazzy Garcia in the birth name of rapper Lil’ Pump who debuts at No.7 with his third chart entry here “I Love it” alongside Kanye West. which is NOT from his forthcoming second album ‘Harverd Dropout’ (yes it’s meant to spelled that way for him!!), with his previous entries here being “Gucci Gang” (HP-18, Dec 2017) and most recently with Diplo and French Montana on the ‘Deadpool 2’ soundtrack song “Welcome to the Party” (HP-87), while this song also enters so high because of its overuse of F-bomb and comedy from Adele Givens. Panic! at the Disco hold for a third straight week at No.8 with their first Top 10 in Australia in “High Hopes” (HP-7), while Jonas Blue returns to the Top 10 for a third time with “Rise” (HP-8), logging an overall fourth week within the ten, and down one place to No.10 is the former No.1 for Drake and “In My Feelings”, which also goes from 1xPlatinum to now 3x▲Platinum in sales (US No.1 song for a ninth week).
