The Jonas Brothers comeback single “Sucker” holds for a second week atop the ARIA Singles Chart this week.
“Sucker” also lands its first sales certification after three weeks of charting, now Gold (●) in sales, while it loses the top spot in N.Z., U.S.A. and Canada, only remaining at the top here for a second week. Also this week in 1991 was the only other ‘Sucker’ to hit the top in “Sucker DJ” for Dimples D (2 weeks from 24th of March, 1991).
The Top 10 tracks all remain within the ten this week with only a few slight movements to be seen, starting with the swapping of Post Malone tracks, as his former No.1 (and the first of the year) “Sunflower” is back up to No.2 displacing last weeks track for him “Wow” which is down one spot to No.3. Returning to the top in both America and Canada for a sixth week is “7 Rings” for Ariana Grande which here is stable at No.4 followed by another non-mover in “Shallow” for Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper at No.5, with both this track and “Sunflower” landing their 21st week within the Top 10 (equal fifth longest in Australian Chart History).
Returning to its former peak of No.6 (up one spot) is the Sam Smith and Normani track “Dancing with a Stranger”, which pushes down the second Ariana Grande track within the Top 10 in “Break Up With Your Boyfriend, I’m Bored” down one spot to No.7. Dominic Fike is up one spot to a new peak of No.8 with his first entry “3 Nights” while the new N.Z. No.1 song is the Khalid and Disclosure track “Talk” which here is down one place to No.9 and lastly holding at No.10 again this week is Ava Max with “Sweet but Psycho”.
