“Rockstar” for Post Malone and 21 Savage stays at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a second week, despite the fact the song is only at #25 on the digital sales chart, the large majority of its figures are derived from streams.
The current #1 here is also spending its second week at the top in New Zealand and Canada and takes out the top spot in the UK this week too, plus Post Malone has four songs within the Top 100 this week, with a new entry just outisde of the fifty. But last weekend in Australia were the Grand Finals for both the AFL and NRL, with The Killers playing on Saturday at the AFL GF in Melbourne and Macklemore the headline act for the NRL Sunday GF, which has flow on effects for his songs he performed on the day. His former No.2 single “Glorious” is back up to No.2 for a second time (it first peaked there on the 21st of August), plus he also returns at No.4 with his former No.1 single “Same Love” (late Jan 2013), which jumps to No.1 on the digital sales chart, and if it had of made it back to the top natioanlly would’ve become the first song ever to hit the top on two separate occassions, but due to streaming nowadays (something not included in the charts four years ago) it has to settle for a No.4 berth.
After a couple of weeks at No.2, Dua Lipa’s “New Rules” is down one spot to No.3 (and spending its 7th week at No.1 in Ireland), whilst also down one spot to No.5 is Sam Smith and “Too Good at Goodbyes”, which picks up a Gold (●) sales certification, as too does the Zayn and Sia song “Dusk Till Dawn”, which climbs one spot to land at a new peak of No.6.
Logic with Alessia Cara and Khalid drops back down two places to No.7 with the US Suicide Prevention line song “1-800-273-8255” and Khalid lands his second Top 10 entry this week as “Young, Dumb and Broke” is up four places to land at No.9. Just prior to Khalid is another Top 10 entry for this week, “Havana” for Camila Cabello and Young Thug, which jumps up eight places to land at a new peak of No.8, becoming her first solo Top 10 entry in Australia, whilst the end of the ten is occupied by Imagine Dragons and “Thunder”, down four spots this week to No.10.
