It’s a fourth week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart for the George Ezra track “Shotgun”, plus the song also holds for a second week at the summit in New Zealand.
“Shotgun” is the No.1 digital selling song again this week (#2 on the streaming chart), while the No.1 streamed track again is sitting at No.2 nationally for a seventh broken week at that peak, “Eastside” for Benny Blanco with Halsey and Khalid, with former No.1 single “Be Alright” for Dean Lewis maintaining a stable Top 3 again this week.
Up one spot to a new peak of No.4 is “Happier” for Marshmello and Bastille, which matches the peak of Marsh’s previous highest charted single in “Friends” with Anne-Marie (peaked April of 2018), plus it also equals the highest placing for Bastille too who hit No.4 with “Pompeii” (peaked June 2013 for two weeks). Swapping places with “Happier” is “I Love it” by Lil’ Pump and Kanye West, which is down one spot to No.5 while on hold at No.6 is “Promises” for Calvin Harris and Sam Smith.

NEW ENTRIES:
* #11 – Without Me by Halsey is now the highest charted solo entry for the US singer, beating the No.16 peak of “Now or Never” (peaked June 2017), while if the song climbs higher next week it will be her first solo Top 10 single and third Top 10 appearance overall, as she is currently sitting at No.2 on the Benny Blanco track “Eastside”.
* #25 – Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper is taken from the debut film for Lady Gaga and debut directorial effort by her co-star Bradley Cooper in “A Star is Born”, and like it’s former incarnations by Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson in 1976 or the Judy Garland and James Mason version in 1954, its showcases a modern singer (at the time) impressing and then falling in love with her mentor. This is the debut entry for Bradley and now the 28th Top 100 appearance for Gaga, who was last on our charts in May of 2017 with “The Cure” (HP-10), with this song jumping to No.1 in Ireland this week.
The lower fifty songs were not delivered by ARIA correctly this week, thus this is only a Top 50 singles chart report, I did wait until before 6pm on Saturday night for the full Top 100 but alas it did not arrive.
