The trio of Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber remain at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a third straight week with their worldwide chart-topping track “Despacito”.
Once again it is also at the top in America, Canada, England, Ireland and New Zealand this week, and here it helps Justin to rack up his eighteenth overall week at No.1, placing him equal 36th on the list for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: 1940 to 2017′ and by doing so JB joins other acts with 18 weeks at the top here, all of which occurred in the last century, The Rolling Stones (six #1’s), Johnnie Ray (four #1’s) and Judy Garland (two #1’s), and for this decade Justin is one week behind the 19 weeks racked up by the two No.1’s by LMFAO from the start of the decade.
Justin is again in the top two positions this week, as his appearance in the former No.1 “I’m the One” by DJ Khaled with Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil’ Wayne is on hold at No.2 for a third straight week, plus the track cracks the ▲Platinum sales certification this week too, whilst scoring a Gold (●) in sales is Miley Cyrus and her new song “Malibu”, which holds at No.3 for a third straight week (where it debuted three weeks ago), and jumping up four places to a new peak of No.4 is Shawn Mendes and “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back”, which matches the peak of his two previous Top 10 hits “Stitches” (4 weeks from mid-Dec 2015) and “Treat You Better” (3 weeks from mid-July 2016).
Ed Sheeran again has two singles within the Top 10, with his former long-running No.1 “Shape of You” back up one place to No.5 for its 21st weeks within the Top 10, making it the equal-fourth longest running Top 10 single in Australia (24 weeks is the longest), whilst his former No.2 hit “Galway Girl” drops down two spots this week to No.6, and on hold at No.7 is Kendrick Lamar and his “Humble.” track, which by staying within the Top 10 for an ninth week it becomes his longest run inside the ARIA Top 10, beating the eight weeks that he achieved on the Sia track “The Greatest” (HP-2) back in September of 2016.
After jumping into the Top 10 last week, the Niall Horan track “Slow Hands” is up two places to a new peak of No.8, plus the track is now Gold (●) in sales too, whilst last weeks highest new entry at No.11 was “Strip That Down” by Liam Payne with Quavo (giving Quavo two Top 10 entries this week too), is up two places also, to a new peak of No.9, meaning that we have two former One Direction members in the Top 10 at the same time this week, a first for the band, and as Harry slips out of the ten unfortunately we don’t have three members from the one band inside the ten at once. That final Top 10 placing goes to Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson with their “Symphony”, which is down one to No.10.
