5SOS' Youngblood hits seventh week at #1

Plus, eleven Top 50 entries for Drake!

5 Seconds Of Summer remain at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a seventh consecutive week with ‘Youngblood’. The track joins John Farnham’s ‘You’re The Voice’, Pseudo Echo’s ‘Funky Town’ and Kylie Minogue’s ‘Locomotion’ as the Australian singles with the third-longest run at #1. The current record is held by Justice Crew’s ‘Que Sera’, which spent nine weeks in the top spot in 2014.

In addition to topping the Albums Chart with Scorpion and snaring eight debuts on the Singles Chart (more below), the three tracks Drake already had in the Top 50 have jumped up this week. Former #1s ‘Nice For What’ and ‘God’s Plan’ have moved up nine and 21 places, respectively, to sit at #7 and #8. Current single ‘I’m Upset’ has climbed 25 spots to score a new peak at #17.

Drake’s eleven tracks puts him behind Michael Jackson (17), Post Malone (17) and Ed Sheeran (16) for the ARIA record for most tracks in the Top 50 in the same week.

In its third week in the Top 50, ‘Healing Hands’, Conrad Sewell’s first chart appearance in two years has jumped 16 spots to claim a new peak at #21.

After performing at Sunday night’s Logies, Jess Glynne has re-entered the chart and scored a new peak at #35 with ‘I’ll Be There’.

This week’s chart also includes new peaks for Juice WRLD’s ‘Lucid Dreams’ (#11) and NOTD’s ‘I Wanna Know’ (#25).
