Debuts for Dua Lipa, Major Lazer and more!

Spending its 15th week in the top spot, ‘Dance Monkey’ by Tones and I equals the record for most weeks at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, tying the record set by Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’ in 2017. Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter’s single ‘Never Seen The Rain’ climbs two places to return to #10.
 
After two weeks at #4, ‘Ride It’ by Regard moves to a new peak at #3. The remix of Jay Sean’s 2008 hit is experiencing a second life thanks to a surge in popularity on social platform TikTok.
