It’s a second week at the lofty top of the ARIA Singles chart tree for the Tones and I single “Dance Monkey”, plus she now has three songs within the Top 30 this week.
Last week I stated that “Dance Monkey” for Tones and I was the first No.1 single for a local female artist since Grace in 2015, when what I should have said was “the first No.1 single by a NEW female artist”, as some people pointed out to me about “Wings” by Delta Goodrem being the last by a local female singer to hit the top (two weeks from 17th August, 2015, two months after Grace). Well that previous No.1 for Delta is now the last time that a local female Aussie singer logged two weeks at the top here, as Tones and I scores her second stay at the chart-pinnacle.
The song that was replaced at the top last week was “Senorita” for Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, which is back up one spot this week to it’s former runners-up spot of No.2, where it spent four weeks upon it’s initial debut seven weeks ago, while the song is again the No.1 selling track in England, Germany (4 weeks apiece), New Zealand (5 weeks) and Ireland (7th week). Shawn’s duet swaps places with the other former No.1 song “Old Town Road” for Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, which is down one spot to No.3 and just last week broke the longest running No.1 single in America record, as this week it logs it’s 18th week at the top of their charts, and also a 17th week at the top in Canada.
Ariana Grande along with rap duo Social House debut at No.4 with their collaboration “Boyfriend”, which is featured on the debut EP for the pair called “Everything Changed…”. This new entry for Ariana Grande now becomes her 55th Top 100 entry (50 as lead, 5 as guest), 34th Top 50 placing and also her 12th Top 10 and 10th Top 5 single in Australia, while the song has also entered high in Ireland (#3), New Zealand, Scotland and England (#4) so far.
Ed Sheeran retains two songs within the Top 10 again this week from the current No.1 album “No.6 Collaborations Project” in the tracks “Beautiful People” with Khalid (stable at #5) and “I Don’t Care” with Justin Bieber which is down one place to No.8. The other Justin Bieber duet in the Top 10 is on the Billie Eilish track “Bad Guy”, which is down two places to No.7, followed by the Post Malone track “Goodbyes” which dips one spot to No.8. Blanco Brown trots up only one spot this week to a new peak of No.9 with his first entry “The Git Up”, while dropping two places to land at No.10 is “Piece of Your Heart” for MeduZa and Goodboys.
