Singles Chartifacts:
#1: Tones And I ‘Dance Monkey’ – ‘Dance Monkey’ returns to #1 after having lost the top spot to Mariah Carey over Christmas. It has now spent a massive 22 weeks at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, 7 weeks more than Ed Sheeran, whose track ‘Shape Of You’ previously held the record at 15 weeks. Her newest single ‘Never Seen The Rain’ is also back in the Top Ten, sitting at #8. Her EP The Kids Are Coming is #7 in the ARIA Albums Chart, and she is the highest charting Australian in both charts.
#7: The Weeknd ‘Blinding Lights’ – The latest single from The Weeknd hits a new peak this week, landing at #7, beating its previous peak of #9. The Canadian pop star last hit the Top Ten with ‘Call Out My Name’ (#3, Apr ’18). ‘Blinding Lights’ is expected to be included on his upcoming fourth album.
#13: Trevor Daniel ‘Falling’ – First released in 2018, ‘Falling’ by US newcomer Trevor Daniel is proving to be a viral hit.

Albums Chartifacts:
#1: Harry Styles ‘Fine Line’ – The former One Direction member returns to the top of the ARIA Albums Chart with his latest album, after being toppled for one week by Michael Bublé. Spending a second week at #1 means that it does better than his debut album Harry Styles (#1, May ’17) which only managed one week at the top. It remains #1 on the ARIA Vinyl Albums Chart for the third week in a row.
#2: Billie Eilish ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ – Billie Eilish’s smash hit album returned to the Top Five last week for the first time in three months. This week it returns to #2, its highest position since August 2019. She’s had a busy holiday period with launching a fashion line, announcing Lollapolooza Paris dates making many year-end lists. She also has two songs from the album in the ARIA Singles Chart this week – ‘Bad Guy’ (#12) and ‘everything I wanted’ (#14).
#5: JackBoys and Travis Scott ‘JackBoys’ – JackBoys is the first compilation from Cactus Jack Records, the label set up by rapper Travis Scott. Scott appears on the album alongside newer voices like Don Toliver and Sheck Wes. The album dropped with almost no notice shortly after Christmas. The single ‘Highest In the Room’ peaked at #3 in October 2019, and retuned to the chart this week at #15.
#25: ‘Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’ soundtrack (debut) – The latest Star Wars film was the big cinema release over Christmas, and the soundtrack is the only debut this week. Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker is the 9th film to be scored by John Williams. It falls just short of the peak for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (#24, Dec ’15) and better than Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which failed to chart in the Top 50. The highest charting Star Wars soundtrack in the ARIA Charts era remains Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (#8, May ’99).

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.
