Local Aussie artist Tones and I remains swinging at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart tree for a fifth straight week with her second single “Dance Monkey”, which is at the top in three other countries this week too.
“Dance Monkey” remains for a fourth week at the summit in Norway and a third week in Sweden, while it jumps from 11 to No.1 in Ireland, becoming the first Australian act at the top of their charts since Sia teamed with Sean Paul for her track “Cheap Thrills” (5 weeks from 31st of March, 2016). The Tones and I track is also at No.2 in Finland and jumps from 10 to No.2 in New Zealand, with a No.3 placing in Denmark also. In Austria it jumps thirteen places to No.18, in Germany 39 to No.19 in its second week on their charts. In England it only rises from 48 to No.40 and in France it jets up from 70 to No.45, while lastly it debuted in Canada at No.93 this week.
The Tones and I track is also now the equal second longest running No.1 song in Australia for 2019, tying at five weeks with Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings” (5 weeks from 28th of Jan, 2019) and the current five week running No.1 song “Dance Monkey” also becomes the longest continual run at No.1 by a local female singer since 1995’s “Mouth” by Merrill Brainbrige logged six straight weeks at the top from the 21st of May, 1995 (“Sweet About Me” by Gabriella Cilmi scored five broken weeks at No.1 in 2008). And with Toni releasing her debut EP on Friday called “The Kids are Coming” the song could stay at the top for a few more weeks.
Stuck at No.2 again this week is the Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello track “Senorita” (HP-1 for one week), which this weeks claims the top spot for the first time in both the U.S.A. and Canada, while it also remains at the top again in New Zealand (8th week), but loses the top in England, Ireland and Germany.
