Singles Chartifacts: 

#1: DaBaby Feat. Roddy Ricch ‘Rockstar’ – American rapper DaBaby holds #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a sixth straight week with ‘Rockstar’. After spending two weeks at #1 in the US, it dropped back to #2 this week.

#3: Jawsh 685 x Jason Derulo ‘Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)’ – A week on from debuting at #24, Kiwi producer Jawsh 685 and American R&B star Jason Derulo jump to #3 with ‘Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)’. Originally released by Jawsh 685 in 2019 as the instrumental ‘Laxed (Siren Beat)’, it went viral on TikTok in early 2020, soundtracking the “Culture Dance” challenge. Derulo posted his own “Culture Dance” challenge video before teasing ‘Savage Love’, which sampled ‘Laxed (Siren Beat)’. A disagreement between the artists over credits was resolved in early June, with the re-named ‘Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)’ released not long after. It’s Jason Derulo’s first Top Ten single since ‘Want To Want Me’ (#4 Apr. ’15).

#9: Chris Brown & Young Thug ‘Go Crazy’ – Moving up five spots, Chris Brown and Young Thug hit the Top Ten for the first time with ‘Go Crazy’. It becomes Brown’s 13th Top Ten single and the first since ‘No Guidance’ (#7 Jun. ’19). For Young Thug, it’s his first Top Ten as a lead artist.

#33: Regard ‘Secrets’ – After debuting at #48 last week, Kosovar producer Regard jumps 15 spots with ‘Secrets’. The new single follows on from ‘Ride It’ (#3 Nov. ’19), which sits at #30 this week. ‘Secrets’ features vocals by British artist Raye, who has previously appeared on Jonas Blue’s ‘By Your Side’ (#33 Dec. ’16) and Jax Jones’ ‘You Don’t Know Me’ (#12 Mar. ’17).

#46: Hilltop Hoods ‘I’m Good?’ – The Hilltop Hoods hit the Top 50 for the first time in 2020 with ‘I’m Good?’. The single has been released to help raise funds for Support Act’s Roadies Fund, directly benefiting music industry professionals hit hard by the COVID-19 shutdown. Hilltop Hoods last charted with ‘Exit Sign’ (#16 May ’19).

Music From The Home Front is the ninth Australian album to top the ARIA Albums Chart in 2020.

The event was conceived and created by Michael Gudinski who said today: “I’m humbled and proud to receive this #1 award from ARIA on behalf of all the incredible artists who stepped up at the eleventh hour and delivered for ’Music From The Home Front’ , ‘Support Act’, ‘the RSL’ and all the front line workers. I want to thank them all, and I’m also immensely proud of the Mushroom Team, Channel 9 and of course all the media that helped promote this most significant event. ‘Music From The Home Front’ is in the Top 5 moments of my life and I will never forget this unprecedented event that will remain etched in Australian music history”.

Dan Rosen, CEO of ARIA, said: “Congratulations to the Mushroom team and all the incredible artists involved in making Music From The Home Front on a Number 1 ARIA album. We live in challenging times, but the creativity and the generosity of our brilliant Australian artists shines through. This album is a testament to the talent we have in this country, and its success shows that Australian music is a fundamental part of our national spirit.”

Punisher debuts at #3 on the Vinyl Albums Chart this week.
