Add another week and you have the longest-running No. 1 by a female English artist, Kate Bush, whose 1985 song “Running Up That Hill” topped out for nine weeks in 2022, thanks to its sync in season four of Stranger Things. The all-time crown belongs to Tones And I’s “Dance Monkey,” a monster which led the ARIA Chart for 24 non-consecutive weeks in 2019 and 2020.
Further down the latest ARIA Singles Chart, published late Friday, Jan. 2, Dean’s “So Easy (To Fall In Love)” dips 5-7 and “Nice To Each Other” holds at No. 9. The Brit will show her fans some love this October, when she embarks on a six-date east coast arena tour of Australia and New Zealand, produced by Handsome Tours and Laneway Presents.
No new titles appear on the latest singles frame, and the only homegrown recording to make an impact is Tame Impala’s “Dracula” (Columbia/Sony), improving 41-37.
