Holding at No.1 again this week is the recent Oscar-winning song “Shallow” for Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, plus the song log its first week at the top in both Canada and America (after charting for the past 21 weeks in both locales).
“Shallow” and it’s overall fifth week at No.1 increases Lady Gaga’s tally on the list for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Singles: 2010’s’ to a total of six weeks at the top during this decade, placing her outright 22nd on the list, while on the overall listing (1940 to 2019) she moves up to be equal 52nd (from equal 57th) to sit alongside other acts who’ve racked up 15 overall weeks at No.1 like Roy Orbison, Guy Sebastian (both from 6 #1’s) and George Michael (from 5 #1’s).
The entire Top 4 songs are all stable this week, with Ariana Grande holding down the next two spots with her former No.1 “7 Rings” at No.2 and the current third week running New Zealand No.1 song “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” at No.3. “Sunflower” for Post Malone and Swae Lee holds at No.4, while last weeks No.5 song for Post Malone and “Wow” is down one place to No.6.
The highest new entry of the week occurs in between those two Post Malone tracks, coming in at No.5 are the newly reformed Jonas Brothers and the first track from their forthcoming fifth studio album (and first in ten years) with the song “Sucker”, with the brothers appearing on The Late, Late Show with James Corden for the past week promoting their comeback, with this their first new single in six years and their first chart entry since 2009’s “Paranoid” (HP-60). By debuting at No.5 “Sucker” also becomes the band’s first ever Top 10 single in Australia, having previously charted as high as No.31 with “Burnin’ Up” (peaked late October in 2008).
Khalid is up one spot to a new peak of No.7 with his four-week old entry “Talk”, which is newly certified Gold (●) in sales, while down two spots to No.8 after last week peaking at No.6 is the Sam Smith and Normani song “Dancing with a Stranger”. On hold at No.9 is the Ava Max song “Sweet but Psycho” and falling three spots to No.10 is the Billie Eilish song “Bury a Friend”, possibly down due to her scoring a new entry within the Top 60.
