Tones and I remains at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a thirteenth straight week with her massive hit “Dance Monkey”, making 2019 a very unique year indeed for long-running chart-toppers, as we’ve never had two 13 weeks running No.1 songs in the same year, plus she also lands her second Top 10 single this week too.
“Dance Monkey” now ties with it’s No.1 predecessor in “Old Town Road” for spending thirteen weeks at No.1, something which has never occurred in Australian chart history previously, while Toni’s run of thirteen weeks now becomes the equal seventh longest running No.1 in Australia and the third for this century, apart from this years “Old Town Road”, 2017’s “Despacito” for Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee with Justin Bieber also logged 13 weeks at the top, making all three songs the second-equal longest running No.1 for this decade, while further 13 week pinnacle-holders (last century) were “Gangsta’s Paradise” for Coolio (No.1 this week in 1995 and the longest running No.1 of the 1990’s) and also “Hey Jude” / “Revolution” for The Beatles (No.1 this week in 1968, plus again the longest running No.1 of the 1960’s).
Two weeks ago the song cracked 4xP in sales, and this week it climbs to 5x▲Platinum, and apart from Tones and I holding the No.1 spot this week, she also increases her strange-hold on the fact that she is now the longest No.1 by both an Australian act and a Solo Female artist, plus she remains at No.1 internationally in Norway (11 weeks), New Zealand (7th week), Austria, France (both 6 weeks), Finland, Belgium, Sweden (all five weeks), England, Switzerland, The Netherlands (all four weeks), but loses the top spot in Ireland (8 weeks) and Germany (3 weeks), while it again jumps up in Canada (15 to No.11), Bulgaria (16 to No.13) and Portugal (46 to No.28). Tones and I also book-ends the Top 10 in Australia this week as her fourteen week old third entry in “Never Seen the Rain” leaps up from it’s re-peak position last week of No.21 to a new peak this week of No.10, becoming her second Top 10 single locally and third Top 15 single all up.
Circling or holding at No.2 for a seventh week is the newly ▲Platinum track for Post Malone called “Circles”, giving him his overall 33rd week at No.2 in Australia (from seven different tracks), while holding at No.3 for a second week is the Maroon 5 track “Memories”. The new No.1 song in Ireland this week is the Regard remix of the Sean Paul track “Ride it”, which here is up two places to a new peak of No.4 and newly certified Gold (●) in sales, thus this pushes down “10,000 Hours” for Dan + Shay with Justin Bieber to No.5 after two weeks at it’s entry position of No.4.
The other song that debuted in the Top 5 three weeks ago was the Travis Scott song “Highest in the Room”, which this week is down one spot to No.6, but scores it’s first cert and is now Gold (●) in sales, while rising back up one spot to No.7 is the dance-country fusion track “One Thing Right” for Marshmello and Kane Brown, now re-certified at 2x▲Platinum. After jumping into the Top 10 last week the blackbear track “Hot Girl Bummer” is this week up two places to a new peak of No.8 while rising back up two spots to No.9 and into the Top 10 for a fifth time is the new Canadian No.1 single in “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi which is logging its nineteenth week within the Top 10 here now, becoming the equal ninth longest running Top 10 single of all time in Australia.
