In another milestone, ‘Dance Monkey’ notched up an 11th week at #1 in the UK, which gives Tones And I the record for longest running #1 by a female lead artist in UK Singles Charts history, passing Rihanna’s 2007 hit ‘Umbrella’ and Whitney Houston’s 1992 classic ‘I Will Always Love You’. Tones And I’s follow-up single ‘Never Seen The Rain’ has spent a total of eight weeks inside the Top Ten and falls one place to #8 this week. Her debut EP – The Kids Are Coming – also remains in the Top Ten of the ARIA Albums Chart, landing at #10 this week.
#7: Harry Styles ‘Adore You’ – With a new album out this week, Harry Styles invades the ARIA Singles Chart with five entries. The highest is ‘Adore You’, which moved up seven places to a new peak at #7. Other songs to hit the chart include ‘Watermelon Sugar’ (#12), Lights Up (#34), Falling (#35) and Golden (#34). ‘Adore You’ matches ‘Lights Up’ with a chart peak of #7, making it his equal second best performance as a solo artist, behind his #1 hit ‘Sign Of The Times’ (#1, Apr 2017).
#10: Mariah Carey ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ – Moving up one place, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ cracks the Top 10 for the second year in a row. Released with Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas album in November 1994, the track peaked at #2 during its initial seven-week chart run. It returned to the Top 50 in December 2012 and has been back each festive season since, peaking at #1 in the final chart of 2018. This week, the song climbed to #1 in the US for the first time in its 25-year life span.
#14: Trevor Daniel ‘Falling’ – Originally released in late 2018, ‘Falling’ becomes US singer-songwriter Trevor Daniel’s first ever ARIA Charts entry.

DaBaby ‘My Oh My’ – The sixth single from Camila Cabello’s recently released second album Romance, ‘My Oh My’ becomes the Cuban-American singer’s sixth Top 50 entry as lead artist.

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.
