Solidifying its hold on the record for most weeks at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’ occupies the #1 spot for a fifteenth week.

Moving up two spots from last week to #4, ‘Symphony’ becomes Clean Bandit’s third top five single, following ‘Rather Be’ (#2 Mar. ’14) and ‘Rockabye’ (#1 Dec. ’16).

Jumping up seven spots to #10, ‘The Cure’ becomes Lady Gaga’s eleventh top ten as a lead artist. It’s also her first top ten appearance since ‘The Edge Of Glory’ (#2 Jul. ’11).

Further down the chart, there’s new peaks this week for Dean Lewis’ ‘Waves’ (up four to #17), G-Eazy & Kehlani’s ‘Good Life’ (up eight to #23), Kyle’s ‘iSpy’ (up one to #35), Bliss N Eso’s ‘Moments’ (up six to #37) and Cheat Codes’ ‘No Promises’ (up nine to #41).

Debuts:

#8: Shawn Mendes ‘There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back’ – Canadian artist Shawn Mendes scores his third top ten on the ARIA Singles Chart with ‘There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back’. The track comes from the deluxe edition of Mendes’ second album Illuminate (#3 Oct. ’16). He’s previously charted in the top ten with ‘Stitches’ (#4 Dec. ’15) and ‘Treat You Better’ (#4 Jul. ’16)

#26: Luis Fonsi Feat. Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber ‘Despacito’ – With ‘Despacito’, Puerto Rican artist Luis Fonsi makes his ARIA Singles Chart debut. The track was originally released in January but has experienced a surge on the back of a new remix that features Justin Bieber. In English, the word despacito translates to slowly.

#40: Kaleo ‘Way Down We Go’ – After scoring their Albums Chart debut four weeks ago with A / B (#40 May ’17), Icelandic band Kaleo make their first Albums Chart appearance with ‘Way Down We Go’. The track was recently used in the trailers for the film Logan and the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black.

#44: Lana Del Rey Feat. The Weeknd ‘Lust For Life’ – The title track from Lana Del Rey’s forthcoming becomes her second chart entry for 2017. ‘Lust For Life’ follows on from ‘Love’ (#41 Feb. ’17) and features The Weeknd.
