It’s week three at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart for James Arthur’s ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’. Arthur’s album Back From The Edge could figure in next week’s Albums Chart following its release on 28 October.

A jump of 12 spots to #4 for ‘Shout Out To My Ex’ has given Little Mix their second top five on the ARIA Singles Chart. It’s one spot below the peak position reached by ‘Wings’ (#3 Nov. ’12).

This week’s Singles Chart also includes new peaks for Bruno Mars’ ‘24K Magic’ (up two to #7), Maroon 5’s ‘Don’t Wanna Know’ (up ten to #11), Zara Larsson’s ‘Ain’t My Fault’ (up seven to #17), Nevada’s ‘The Mack’ (up ten to #20) and Cheat Codes & Dante Klein’s ‘Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)’ (up four to #38).
