Singles Chartifacts: 

#1: Tones And I ‘Dance Monkey’ – Hitting its 14th week at #1, ‘Dance Monkey’ by Tones And I breaks the ARIA Charts record for most consecutive weeks at #1 on the Singles Chart. Current record holder for most weeks at #1, Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’, only managed to hold the top spot for 13 straight weeks, dropping to #2 for a week, before returning to #1 for two more weeks.

Tones And I is now the Australian female artist who has spent the second most amount of time at #1 over her entire career. This week she equals Delta Goodrem’s 14 weeks but has a long way to go to reach Kylie Minogue’s 30 weeks.

Also this week, her follow up ‘Never Seen The Rain’ comes in at #12.

#2: Selena Gomez ‘Lose You To Love Me’ – Selena Gomez picks up two debuts on this week’s ARIA Singles Chart.

Gomez charted earlier in the year with ‘I Can’t Get Enough’ (#43 Mar. ’19), a collaboration with Benny Blanco, Tainy and J Balvin.

#6: Lizzo ‘Good As Hell’ – Jumping up seven spots to #6, ‘Truth Hurts’ by American singer/rapper/flautist Lizzo hits the ARIA Top Ten for the first time. The rise of ‘Truth Hurts’ comes after a new version was released featuring Ariana Grande. The single is currently #1 in the US.

#7: Kanye West ‘Follow God’ – Topping the Albums Chart with Jesus Is King, Kanye West snags ten entries on this week’s Singles Chart. Debuting at #7, ‘Follow God’ is the highest-placed track from the album. West has also charted with ‘Selah’ (#18), ‘Closed On Sunday’ (#19), ‘On God’ (#21), ‘Everything We Need’ (#26), ‘Every Hour’ (#33), ‘Use This Gospel’ (#36), ‘Water’ (#37), ‘God Is’ (#39) and ‘Hands On’ (#46).
