Equalling this week the 2017 achievement by Ed Sheeran of spending 15 weeks at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart is the Tones and I track “Dance Monkey”.
And “Dance Monkey” is at No.1 again in Norway (13 weeks), New Zealand (9th week), Austria, Switzerland (8th week), Belgium, Sweden (7th week), The Netherlands, England (6th week) and Germany (5th week), while it rises to new peaks of No.2 in Bulgaria, No.5 in Canada, No.12 in Portugal (up from #18) and No.41 in the U.S.A. (up from #51 last week).
The Ed Sheeran song “Shape of You” logged fifteen broken weeks at No.1 in 2017 (13 weeks and then one week off, and then a further two more weeks), while that year we had a 13 week running No.1 also in “Despacito” for Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber, and this is similar to 2019 where we’ve had a 13 weeks running song in “Old Town Road” for Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus and now a fifteen week runner in “Dance Monkey” for Tones and I, and with her many ARIA nominations for the Awards ceremony at the end of November, this could keep her on top for potentially 20 weeks.
“Dance Monkey” is now the equal longest running No.1 this decade tied with Ed’s track, and also the equal fifth longest run at the top of the singles chart between 1940 and 2019, with the seven songs above it all achieving their long runs at the top during the 1940’s, thus the current No.1 is now the equal longest running No.1 for not only ARIA, but for an Australian Female Performer, a Solo Modern-Rock-Era Female Performer and the equal longest runner for the modern-rock era (1955 onwards). If it stays again for next week it will be the outright song in that last category too.
Reclaiming it’s No.2 runner-up spot for an eighth week is the Post Malone track “Circles”, which now increase his #2 tally to 34 weeks in that position (from seven tracks) and also rising one place to a new peak of No.3 is the Regard remix of the Sean Paul song “Ride it”, which is newly certified ▲Platinum in sales this week, followed by the Maroon 5 song “Memories”, back up one spot to No.4, while last weeks No.2 entry for Selena Gomez and “Lose You to Love Me” drops back here three spots to No.5, while it jumped to No.1 in both America and Canada this past week.
Stable at its peak of No.6 for a second week is the Lizzo song “Good as Hell”, followed by recent tourists here Dan + Shay with Justin Bieber and their ballad”10,000 Hours”, rising back up one place to No.7. The highest new entry this week at No.8 is also new at No.2 in England and No.1 in Ireland, plus she just announced her performance on the upcoming ARIA Awards here, Dua Lipa and “Don’t Start Now”, which by coming in at No.8 becomes her fifth Top 10 single in Australia plus her first new Top 10 single since 2018’s teaming with Calvin Harris on “One Kiss” (HP-3, June 2018) and this is also her first ever song to debut within the Top 10 too. Rapper blackbear rises back up one spot to No.9 with his track “Hot Girl Bummer”, while returning to it’s former peak of No.10 from two weeks ago is the Tones and I track “Never Seen the Rain” for a second week within the Top 10.
