Tones and I’s smash “Dance Monkey” unsurprisingly keeps the #1 position on this week’s ARIA Australian Top 50 Singles Chart. In doing so, it breaks a record for Australian artists.

The song’s 10-week reign represents the longest ever for a song by an Australian act.

The triple-platinum smash is not, however, the artist’s only song on this week’s chart.

“Never Seen The Rain,” a newer release, rises two spots to #23 on this week’s chart. It also secures a platinum accreditation, signifying 70,000 in Australian units.

Earlier single “Johnny Run Away,” which boasts a double-platinum certification, concurrently rises one place to #36.
