Singles Chartifacts: 

#1: Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello ‘Señorita’ – After four consecutive weeks at #2, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello hit #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart with ‘Señorita’. It becomes the first chart-topping single in Australia for Canadian singer-songwriter Mendes and the second for Cuban-American artist Cabello after she spent three weeks in the top spot in late-2017 with ‘Havana’ (#1 Nov. ’17).

#2: Lil Nas X ‘Old Town Road’ – In its 16th week in the Top 50, Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’ hasn’t notched up its 14th week at #1 as some predicted, instead it’s dropped back to #2. Another remix of the track was dropped in the dying moments of the chart week; the new version comes courtesy of BTS member RM, who retitled the track ‘Seoul Town Road’.

If ‘Old Town Road’ doesn’t return to the top spot, it falls short of the record for most weeks spent at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The record currently remains with Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’, which spent 15 non-consecutive weeks at #1.

#3: Tones And I ‘Dance Monkey’ – On the back of an acclaimed performance at Splendour In The Grass last weekend, Tones And I jumps up five spots to hit a new peak at #3 with ‘Dance Monkey’. The Byron Bay artist will release her debut EP, The Kids Are Coming, on 30 August. A new track, ‘Never Seen The Rain’, has debuted at #38 this week and debut single ‘Johnny Run Away’ has moved back up to #15.

#10: Guy Sebastian ‘Choir’ – Shifting to #10, Guy Sebastian’s ‘Choir’ holds a spot in the Top Ten for a fourth consecutive week. In total, Sebastian has spent 85 weeks in the ARIA Singles Chart Top Ten throughout his career.

#14: Sam Smith ‘How Do You Sleep?’ – Sam Smith releases his second single of 2019, ‘How Do You Sleep?’. The English singer-songwriter peaked at #6 in March of this year with his duet with Normani, ‘Dancing With A Stranger’. Smith previously hit the top of the chart with ‘Too Good At Goodbyes’ (#1 Sept. ’17).

The film is currently sitting at #1 at the Australian box office.

#7: Sabaton ‘The Great War’ – Swedish power metal band Sabaton take out their first Top Ten entry on the ARIA Albums Chart with The Great War. The ninth studio album by the five-piece is only their second to make the ARIA Top 50, having made their debut with previous album The Last Stand (#29 Aug. ’16).

#12: Beyoncé ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ – Beyoncé scores her second Albums Chart entry for 2019 with The Lion King: The Gift.

Beyoncé charted earlier in the year with Homecoming: The Live Album (#18 Apr. ’19).
