Singles Chartifacts:
#1: Ariana Grande ‘7 Rings’ – Ariana Grande holds #1 on the ARIA Charts for a second week with ‘7 Rings’. This week, the singer was in the news for getting the title tattooed on her hand in Japanese characters. However, fans pointed out that there was an error and Grande in fact got the characters for “shichirin”, which is a small charcoal grill. It was later corrected.
#6: Travis Scott & Drake ‘Sicko Mode’ – Jumping up six spots in its 26th week in the Top 50, Travis Scott and Drake’s ‘Sicko Mode’ claims a new peak. The track was #3 in the Triple J Hottest 100, which was broadcast on 27 January.
#9: Ocean Alley ‘Confidence’ (Debut) – Fresh from topping the Triple J Hottest 100, Ocean Alley hit the Singles Chart for the first time with ‘Confidence’. The track was one of four tracks by the Sydney band to feature in this year’s countdown; they also appeared with ‘Knees’ (#10), their cover of Player’s ‘Baby Come Back’ (#16) and ‘Happy Sad’ (#100).
#15: J. Cole ‘Middle Child’ (Debut) – After taking out five entries in the Top 50 in 2018, J. Cole returns with ‘Middle Child’. It’s the American rapper’s first new entry on the chart since he debuted in the same week with ‘KOD’ (#20 Apr. ’18), ‘ATM’ (#32 Apr. ’18), ‘Photograph’ (41 Apr. ’18), ‘Kevin’s Heart’ (#46 Apr. ’18) and ‘Motiv8’ (#47 Apr. ’18).

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
