It’s now the third week atop the ARIA Singles Chart for the siblings The Jonas Brothers with their track “Sucker”.
And it’s also the longest run at the top for siblings since The Veronicas spent three weeks at No.1 with “You Ruin Me” (from 29th of Sept, 2014) and for brothers they also surpass the two weeks racked up by The Madden Brothers from earlier in 2014 with “We Are Done” (2 weeks from 14th of July). The third week for “Sucker” also surpasses the two weeks logged at this time back in 1991 (24th and 31st of March) for the Dimples D. track “Sucker DJ”, making The Jonas Brothers song the longest ‘Sucker’ song at the top in Australia.
BUT “Sucker” is NOT No.1 on either the digital or streaming charts this week, it is at No.2 on both charts, as the new highest streamed track of the week is back up to its former national peak of No.2 for a second time in “Wow” for Post Malone (it sits at No.12 on the digital sales chart and is also the new No.1 song in New Zealand), and it once again swaps place with his former No.1 song “Sunflower” which is down one spot to No.3 and is also logging its 22nd week within the Top 10. Ariana Grande and her “7 Rings” track is on hold at No.4 again this week, while it retains the top spot in both North America and Canada for a seventh overall week, and her just issued official new single from her current album in “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” is down two spots this week to No.9.
After two weeks at the lower end of the Top 10 the Dominic Fike track “3 Nights” jumps up three places to a new peak of No.5, while holding its No.6 peak for a third non-consecutive week is the Sam Smith and Normani duet “Dancing with a Stanger” followed by a return to it’s former peak of No.7 in “Talk” for Khalid, back up two spots this week.
Also logging a 22nd week within the Top 10 (to now become equal fourth longest-running Top 10 in Oz Chart History) is the double-running No.1 song and Oscar winner “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, which this week is down three places to No.8 (it is now tied at 22 weeks within the Top 10 with “Hey Jude” by The Beatles {1968/69} and “Flaunt it” by TV Rock feat. Seany B. {1996}). Lastly, the new No.1 album gives Dean Lewis his second Top 10 single this week as his latest track (but not newest) “7 Minutes” jumps up seven places to a new peak of No.10, plus it scores a ▲Platinum sales certification.
