Plus Post Malone storms the Singles Chart.

Tones And I holds #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a seventh straight week with ‘Dance Monkey’. She now equals the record for most weeks at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart by an Australian female solo artist, joining Kylie Minogue’s ‘Locomotion’ (#1 Aug. ’87). ‘Dance Monkey’ is getting towards breaking record for most weeks at #1 on the Singles Chart by an Australian artist, currently held by Justice Crew with Que Sera (#1 May 2014), at nine weeks.
 
The track has had considerable success overseas, including hitting #1 in Denmark, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. It’s also hit the Top Ten in Austria, Germany, Hungary and Switzerland.
 
Hitting #1 on the Albums Chart with Hollywood’s Bleeding, Post Malone scores two tracks in this week’s Top Five. A week after debuting at #5, ‘Circles’ moves up three spots to #2, becoming the American hip hop artist’s seventh single to peak in the Top Two. ‘Goodbyes’ jumps up six spots to return to its debut position of #5.
