“Dance Monkey” for local singer Tones and I sits atop the ARIA Singles Chart for a seventh straight week, while it’s also on top of the charts in Norway (6th wk), Ireland (3rd wk), Finland and Denmark (2nd week each).
The song also loses it’s top spot in New Zealand after a single week, falling to No.2, while it’s also placed in that position in Sweden and Austria, plus No.3 in both Belgium and Germany, No.4 in France and rises in The Netherlands (#13), England (31 to No.19) and Canada (86 to No.52), and the song racks up a 3x▲Platinum sales certification here this week, the only new cert. for the week too.
The song “Dance Monkey” also becomes the longest running No.1 single be an Australian Female singer (solo or duo) since Kylie Mingoue’s first single “Locomotion” (7 weeks from 10-Aug, 1987), and it is now the equal second longest running No.1 song performed by an Aussie Female act, the longest being the Olivia Newton-John duet with John Travolta from the ‘Grease’ soundtrack in “You’re the One That I Want” (9 broken weeks from 26th of June, 1978). The current No.1 song also becomes the 50th track to notch up seven weeks at No.1 in Australia (since 1940).
For this decade there are only two songs sung with female lead vocals that have spent longer at the top of the charts, with Tones and I tying with Adele’s “Someone Like You” (2011) which also logged seven weeks at No.1, while ahead are “Roar” by Katy Perry (2013) and “Closer” by The Chainsmokers and Halsey (2016, as she had the majority of the vocals on that track, IMO), both songs racking up nine weeks at No.1 each. Plus the current No.1 song is the equal eighth longest running No.1 song for the decade alongside other seven week runners in “Thrift Shop” (2012), “Love Yourself” (2015), “One Dance” (2016), “Say You Won’t Let Go” (2016) and the last seven week runner “Rockstar” for Post Malone (2017).
Speaking of Post Malone, his debut from last week in “Circles” jumps up three places to a new peak of No.2 (the only new peak in the entire Top 100 this week), plus the song jumped to No.1 in New Zealand, all helped by his third studio album “Hollywood’s Bleeding” debuting at the top of our charts, while the new P.M. set also pulls in thirteen more tracks from the album to the rest of the Top 100, while the new albums’ third release in “Goodbyes” returns to the Top 10 and it’s former peak of No.5 this week, back up six places for a second stay at that chart height and a ninth week within the Top 10.
Back to it’s lowest position of No.3 for a second time (ever) is “Senorita” for Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello (#1 in Canada for a third week), while stuck at it’s peak of No.4 for a seventh week is the Ed Sheeran and Khalid track “Beautiful People”, with Ed logging a third week at the top in England with “Take Me Back to London”. Lil’ Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” drops three places to No.6 and logs its 23rd week inside the Top 10, making it the equal fourth longest Top 10 run of all time, and with Billie Eilish leaving the Top 10 this week with “Bad Guy”, both tracks are now at 23 weeks within the ten.
Holding at it’s peak of No.7 for a second week is the Marshmello and Kane Brown track “One Thing Right”, while after a couple of weeks at a peak of No.6 the other T10-Brown track in “The Git Up” by Blanco Brown is back down two places to No.8. Lil’ Tecca and his track “Ran$om” are stable at No.9 again this week, while the second track returning the Top 10 this week is “Piece of Your Heart” by both MeduZa and Goodboys (HP-7, WI10-9), which rises two places to land at No.10.
UP:
* Sam Smith rises back up two places to No.12 with “How Do You Sleep?” (HP-11), and with a new remix issued on Friday it might eventually climb into the Top 10 for the first time soon.

* Like two weeks ago when Taylor Swift debuted with a heap of tracks, the same occurs with the mass of Post Malone entries this week, thus climbing songs fall back a little this week, and the 5SOS track “Teeth” is down three to No.20, while they also fall with “Easier” (44 to No.61) and “Youngblood” (58 to No.63).
