Singles Chartifacts:
#1: Tones And I ‘Dance Monkey’ – ‘Dance Monkey’ by Tones And I hits #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart in its eighth week. It has been a meteoric rise for Tones And I (aka Toni Watson), who has gone from busking in Byron Bay to the top of the charts in a matter of months.
‘Dance Monkey’, her second single and first #1, is up from #3 last week. She first appeared on the ARIA Singles Chart on 20 May this year when she debuted at #40 with ‘Johnny Run Away’. This week, that track sits at #14, while third single, ‘Never Seen The Rain’, has moved up to #32.
‘Dance Monkey’ is the first Australian single to top the ARIA Singles Chart in 2019. It is the first Australian #1 single since Dean Lewis’ ‘Be Alright’ (#1 Aug. ’18) and the first #1 single by an Australian female solo artist since Delta Goodrem’s ‘Wings’ (#1 Aug. ’15). ‘Dance Monkey’ is the 23rd #1 single by an Australian artist in the 2010s.
#10: Blanco Brown ‘The Git Up’ – As it hits its seventh week in the Top 50, ‘The Git Up’ by Blanco Brown moves up one spot to crack the Top Ten for the first time. It’s already made the Top Ten in Canada and New Zealand, as well as topping Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart in the US.
#11: Sam Smith ‘How Do You Sleep?’ – After debuting at #14 last week, Sam Smith’s ‘How Do You Sleep?’ moves up three spots to #11. The track was the most added to Australian radio last week.
#15: Ali Gatie ‘It’s You’ – Clocking up its sixth week in the chart, ‘It’s You’ by Canadian rapper Ali Gatie moves up four spots to score a new peak at #15. It spent one week at #1 in Malaysia in June.
#19: Taylor Swift ‘The Archer’ – With her seventh album Lover due for release on 23 August, Taylor Swift scores a third Singles Chart entry from it with ‘The Archer’. Following on from ‘Me!’ (#2 May ’19) and ‘You Need To Calm Down’ (#3 Jun. ’19), it was co-written and co-produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff. The two have previously collaborated on tracks on Swift’s albums 1989 (#1 Nov. ’14) and Reputation (#1 Nov. ’17).

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.
