Tying the record for 'Longest Run at #1: Singles, for a Female Solo Artist' during the 2020's is Olivia Dean's current fourteen week running track Man I Need.
Fourteen weeks and counting for Man I Need is now equal to the fourteen broken weeks (from four separate runs in 2024 and 2025) for APT. by Rosé and Bruno Mars, which 51 weeks ago retook the top spot for its twelfth week, which in turn makes Rosé, Bruno and Olivia all equal fourth on the listing for 'Accumulated Weeks at #1: Singles; 2020's'. Also the two songs now sit in equal second position for 'Most Weeks at #1: Singles; 2020's' behind the dual #1's with the most weeks at the top during this decade, both Ordinary for Alex Warren (2025) and Stay for The Kid LAROI (2021).
Man I Need is overall (1940 to 2026) the equal eighth longest running #1 song of all time in Australia, tying with pre-ARIA #1's like Fernando for ABBA (1976), and the other UK Solo Female artist here in Vera Lynn with (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover (1942), and if Olivia holds again next week (she should as there's not much competition at the moment other than her current UK & Irish #1 which cracks our Top 10 this week), she will tie with the only 15-week holder in her countryman and current tourist Ed Sheeran and Shape of You (15 weeks in 2017).
Olivia's current #1 here also maintains it's top-slot in New Zealand (20th week), and gains it's first #1 slot in The Netherlands (after half-a-year of charting; 26 weeks), losing the top spot in Canada (after 1 week) and dipping slightly in The U.S.A. (2 to #3), while it rises in both England (8 to #4) and Ireland (10 to #8), PLUS she again has the Top 2 singles in Australia for the third week in a row (13th week of #1 & #2 in New Zealand too) as So Easy (to Fall in Love) holds its peak at #2. Olivia Dean also has a third Top 10 placement this week as her duet with Sam Fender (his first Top 10 placement here) called Rein Me In jumps up eight places to a NEW PEAK of #6, while the track holds at #1 in Ireland (2nd week) and rises to the top in England (5 to #1) and jums to #4 in New Zealand (LW #12), which are it's only four Top 10 berths at the moment.
The fourth thing that Olivia achieves this week is the regain the #1 Single and Album duopoly, as The Art of Loving rises back to the top of the LP chart, becoming the eighth overall time that Olivia Dean has held the top spots in Australia (BTW she loses that crown in New Zealand after 15 weeks of #1 dual occupancy), and in turn it becomes the first time this century that an act has had the #1 on both charts for eight weeks, with the last act to do this being Savage Garden with their self-titled album and Truly, Madly, Deeply from April 6th, 1997 for eight consecutive weeks. Overall this is the fourth album and song to log eight weeks at the top (equal second longest) alongside Bryan Adams (two songs Please Forgive Me for six weeks and All for Love for two weeks alongside So Far So Good in 1993-94) and Split Enz for I Got You and their LP True Colours from April 14th, 1980, while the longest scoring 14 a week duopoly was ABBA with Fernando and The Best of ABBA from April 5th, 1976 (thus if Olivia does it again she will be outright second longest dual-act at #1 in Australia).
Alex Warren's Ordinary former #1 holds at #3 again this week (46th week in the Top 10, outright fifth longest of all time), followed by rising entries for RAYE and WHERE IS MY HUSBAND (up one to #4, #1 Hip Hop/R&B Single) and securing her highest position this week is Taylor Swift with Opalite (up two to #5), with her other entry here seeing The Fate of Ophelia dip one spot to land at #7 in it's twentieth week within the Top 10. sombr replaces himself within the Top 10 this week as his new entry from last week called Homewrecker jumps up ten places to land at a NEW PEAK of #8, also scoring new T10 peaks in Ireland (#4), England (#7) and New Zealand (#10) along with The Netherlands (#22) and new entries in The U.S.A. (#31) and Canada (#25).
Holding it's position at #9 for a third straight week is the Dave and Tems entry Raindance, while last week's zooming entry for Bad Bunny and DtMF falls six places this week to #10, while the song rebound to the top this past week in The U.S.A. and Canada (first week at #1 in both places), with the song losing the top spot in Germany (#3), holding its peak in The Netherlands (#2), along with Top 10 berths in Ireland (#3), England (#5) and New Zealand (#7).
TOP 20: One PEAK-HOLD occurs here for the PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson collab Stateside at #17 (NEW PEAK overseas in England {#9}, Ireland {#13} and The Netherlands {#34}), with the rising entry here being a one-place rebound to #20 for Ella Langley and Choosin' Texas to #20 (her newer release Be Her is picking up digital sales) and the other stable entry here is the Olivia Dean track A Couple Minutes at #19, plus her other song here is Nice to Each Other (down one to #14).
The two Top 10 dropouts this week are sombr with 12 to 12 (HP-6x3, WI10-18) down three to #11, followed by Golden for HUNTR/X (HP-1x10, WI10-32, 17th longest of all time in T10) which dips two places to land at #12, it's third ever week outside of the Top 10 after it debuted at #74 (June 30th, 2025: it flew to #8 in it's second T100 chart week), and then a #13 on October 13th, 2025 (after Taylor Swift's Showgirl Album dump). sombr's second entry here is back to friends, down one spot to #16, with two-place drops seen by both No Broke Boys for Disco Lines with Tinashe (#1 Dance Single) and I Just Might for Bruno Mars to #13 and #18 respectively, while the biggest fall here is a three-place decline to #15 for Djo's The End of Beginning (loses the #1 On Replay Single spot and is down to #2).
TOP 30: No new peaks here, but half of this section falls and half rises, with the biggest climb seen by a six-place move to #22 for Die on This Hill by SIENNA SPIRO (HP-19), along with smaller rises for Love Me Not by Ravyn Lenae (up three to #21), Undressed for sombr (up one to #25) and Baby Steps for Olivia Dean and BIRDS OF A FEATHER by Billie Eilish, both up two places each to #28 and #29 respectively.
Harry Styles' track Aperture is reducing itself each week, this week it's the biggest fall here, down seven places to #27, while the new entry a week after Harry's was the Noah Kahan new track The Great Divide, which falls three places this week to #30. Single place dips go to Dracula for Tame Impala (to #23, #1 Australian Artists Singles Chart, plus the JENNIE remix helps it to rise overseas in The U.S.A. [88 to #45, HP-30] and Canada [73 to NEW PEAK #35]), DAISIES by Justin Bieber (to #24) and last week's entry for Bad Bunny and NEUVAYoL (to #26, leapt in The U.S.A. 28 to #5 and Canada 33 to #3).
TOP 40: Five songs this week rise up from the lower fifty to give us four NEW PEAKS, one of which occurs in this chart region, as newly announced October tourist Zara Larsson sees her now six-week old T100 entry Midnight Sun rises thirteen places to land at #39 (also debuts at #35 in New Zealand), while her 2015 track Lush Life regains the #1 spot atop the On Replay Singles chart this week (it held it for one previous week on January 5th) after sitting at #2 for the past six weeks.
Smaller rises occur here for Fred Again.. with Victory Lap (up two to #31, his track Talk of the Town goes Gold (●) in sales), along with Die with a Smile for Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars (up two to #37), and That's So True by Gracie Abrams (up one to #40). Four songs remain stable here for I Run by HVN, A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey, Good Luck, Babe! by Laneway Festival performer Chappell Roan and Let Alone the One You Love for Olivia Dean at #32, #35, #36 and #38 respectively. The only declining entry here is a five-place fall for Sabrina Carpenter and her Manchild track, down to #34.
TOP 50: Ed Sheeran's current national tour helped his Play set to rebound to #2 this week, while he regains a Top 50 berth this week for his track Sapphire, which jumps up twenty-eight places to land at #47 (it was last within the Top 50 on October 6th, 2025). Within the On Replay Singles chart he has five entries also; Perfect (37 to #18), Shape of You (47 to #25), Photograph (re-entry at #31), Thinking Out Loud (returns at #39) and Shivers makes it first time appearance at #48.
Three more tracks also rise from the lower fifty, but all of them are scoring NEW PEAKS, starting with Bella Kay and her Top 100 entry last week iloveitiloveitiloveit, which leaps forty-eight places to secure the #42 spot, also debuting in New Zealand (#39) and jumping in England (39 to #26) and Ireland (21 to #9).
For the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2025 the group ROLE MODEL saw their song Sally, When the Win Runs Out take the J100#13 position, which helped the track the following week to its highest position (84 to #57), and now this week thanks to their recent Laneway Festival shows, and after fourteen broken-weeks within the T100 the song rises nine places to secure a NEW PEAK at #45. Olivia Dean is up eight places to a NEW PEAK of #49 with her track I've Seen it, which previously had secured the #50 spot on both December 29th, 2025 and January 12th, 2026, plus it saw a Gold (●) sales certification assigned to it last week too.
Gigi Perez has the only non-mover here as her Sailor Song bobs along at #44 again this week, with the smaller declines seen by 4 Raws by EsDeeKid (down three to #43) and the two Tate McRae entries in TIT FOR TAT (down three to #46) and Sports Car (drops six to #48) {her Just Keep Watching track departs the Top 50 this week}, while the biggest drops top-and-tail the Top 50 region, with the Bad Bunny entry from last week BAILE INoLVIDABLE falling seven spots to #41 (flew up this past week in both The U.S.A. [19 to #2] and Canada [38 to #7]), while Justin Bieber's YUKON is the biggest falling track within the fifty this week, down thirteen places to #50.
NEW ENTRY: * #33 - Be By You - Luke Combs (Seven Ridges/Sony) is the fourth track lifted from the one-month-away sixth studio album for the U.S. country singer called The Way I Am. First release was Back in the Saddle (HP-72, August 4th, 2025), then uncharted Days Like This (issued October 2025), while six weeks ago he saw the albums highest charted entry as third release Sleepless in a Hotel Room debuted and peaked at #19 (January 19th, 2026). The song has also debuted in New Zealand (#25), Ireland (#43) and England (#47).
Olivia Dean reclaims the #1 Albums spot in Australia, with The Art of Loving racking up its ninth overall week at the LP-summit.
The Art of Loving (Capitol, No.14 Vinyl) matches the nine broken weeks and four overall runs at #1 as last year's breakout soundtrack for KPop Demon Hunters (TW stable at #6), plus a ninth stay at the top for Olivia makes it the equal second longest running #1 Album for her label Capitol Records, tying with the nine weeks (from three runs) achieved by the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack in 1997.
Olivia Dean occupies the top of both charts again for an eighth overall time (see the record she achieves in the singles section above), plus she becomes the third highest UK Female Solo Artists to have spent weeks at #1 in Australia, now sitting behind Adele (47 weeks from 3 #1's) and Dido (10 weeks from 2 #1's), as Olivia now has nine accumulated weeks at the top of the Album Charts. Olivia also sits equal sixth on the listing for 'Accumulated Weeks at #1: Albums; 2020's' alongside Billie Eilish, who has racked up nine weeks from three separate #1's this decade.
Not only does The Art of Loving tie with the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, it also matches 13 other albums which have also secured nine weeks at the top (one of nine in the ARIA-era, post mid-1983), while the album loses the top spot in New Zealand (after 16 weeks at the top, #2 TW) and England (after 7 weeks, TW #2), and retains the #1 slot in Ireland (11th week), rising in Scotland (6 to #3), holding steady in both The Netherlands (#3) and Germany (#9), it drops in both The U.S.A. (4 to #8) and Canada (3 to #5).
Ed Sheeran's tour played Melbourne this past week, which has helped to boost his Play set up sixteen places to land at #2 (also No.2 Vinyl), giving the album a third week within the Top 10 during it's (now) 23 week chart-life (initially it was 1 and 5 in it's first two weeks), while his +-=÷x (Tour Collection) will no doubt rise back into the charts soon, he does have two albums which climb within the On Replay Albums chart, ÷ (divide), up three to #3 and x (multiply) which returns to that chart at #29.
Peking Duk member Adam Hyde sees his alter-ego Keli Holiday secure the #3 entry position this week with his second studio album called Capital Fiction (No.5 Vinyl, #1 Australian Artists Album Chart), becoming his first chart entry and first solo Top 10 placement (Peking Duk only ever issued two EP's, one of which peaked at #12). Lead single from the album Dancing2 peaked at #23 on February 2nd (after a J100#2 position) having originally started it's chart life in September of 2025 where it climbed as high as #66 on December 8th (after he performed the song at the ARIA Awards and won for 'Best Video' for the song too).
The soundtrack to the recently opened film (Feb. 12th) Wuthering Heights debuts at #4 (No.1 Vinyl), with the music written and performed by Charli XCX, becoming her seventh chart entry (five studio albums, a mixtape and a soundtrack) and fourth Top 10 placement after her two most recent releases both went to #1, BRAT (19th charted week of Oct. 21st, 2024 thanks to the expanded edition) and Crash (upon entry on March 28th, 2022). The ten track album has landed at #1 overseas in her home country of England and Scotland, as well as entries in New Zealand, Ireland (both #4), Germany (#5), The Netherlands (#6), Lithuania (#10), Sweden (#13), Norway (#18) and Finland (#19).
Bad Bunny's álbum DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS dips only one spot this week to #5 (No.19 Vinyl), while the set holds at #2 in The U.S.A. and finally sees it's first week at the top in Canada and The Netherlands, along with Germany (#3) England (#5), New Zealand (#6) and Ireland (#7). The first of three non-movers within the Top 10 sees the aforementioned KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack stable at #6, along with SO CLOSE TO WHAT??? for Tate McRae at #8 (cracks 52 weeks/one-year charted) and Man's Best Friend for Sabrina Carpenter at #10. Wedged in-between those holding titles are Taylor Swift with a two-place drop to #7 for The Life of a Showgirl (No.11 Vinyl) and last week's #1 entry for Karnivool and IN VERSES (No.6 Vinyl), which falls eight places to land at #9.
TOP 20: Returning to the chart at a NEW PEAK of #14 is the Kylie Minogue Tension Tour//Live 2025 album which benefits from a physical release and also secures the No.4 Vinyl Chart slot this week. The album originally made it to #58 (Oct. 6th, 2025), spending one week within the Top 100, while the set also landed high entries overseas in Scotland (#2), England (#19) and lesser in Germany (#58).
The sombr set I Barely Know Her is the only other climbing album here, with the newly half-a-year/26 week charting entry up one spot to #11, while two of the three Top 10 dropouts land within the Top 20 this week; You'll Be Alright, Kid for Alex Warren (HP-2, WI10-26) down three to #12 and The Fall-Off for J. Cole (HP7, WI10-1, #1 debut in The U.S.A. this past week) which drops ten places to land at #17.
Two-place drops are seen by three albums; Short N' Sweet for Sabrina Carpenter (to #13), Don Toliver with Octane (to #15, #1 Hip Hop/R&B Album) and Rebel for EsDeeKid (to #16), with a three place slip to #18 for the #1 Country Album again this week for Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem (to #18) and Billie Eilish falls four places to #20 with HIT ME HARD & SOFT.
TOP 30: Lorde's tour here finishes up this week in Melbourne (22nd) and Perth (25th) before she heads to South America in mid-March, which in turn has pulled her Virgin album back up the charts twenty-nine places to land at #28 this week, while the only on-hold title here is at #22 for the Fred Again.. release USB.
Joji's Piss in the Wind which entered at #3 last week, is down twenty places this week to #23, while the set saw Top 10 debuts this past week in the U.S.A. (#5) and Canada (#9). The Laneway Festival acts which benefited last week see their sets turn back around this week with ROLE MODEL falling four to #21 with Kansas Anymore, which produces their first Top 50 single entry this week and cracks half-a-year/26 weeks on the chart, while also down nine places to #29 is the Geese set Getting Killed (No.7 Vinyl). Smaller declines are seen by Gracie Abrams' The Secret of Us (down three to #24), Taylor Tortured set (down two to #25) and thanks to her new entry at #4 the Charli XCX set BRAT dips one spot to #26, with the last decline here being for the Zach Bryan set With Heaven on Top (down four to #30), which...
TOP 40: ...is also the same amount his fellow-week-entrant The Kid LAROI and his set BEFORE I FORGET falls, down four to #32, with the two other four-place declines seen here for Sex Hysteria for Jessie Murph (to #36) and CHROMOKOPIA by Tyler, the Creator (to #38).
Givéon's tour here also saw his album BELOVED album jumping up this week, rising twenty-nine spots to land at #33 (HP-16), with his tour moving to New Zealand this weekend (Auckland on the 22nd) before starting his European tour in Sweden on March 6th.
Smaller drops belong to Lady Gaga's MAYHEM and eternal sunshine for Ariana Grande, both down one-spot each to #31 and #39 respectively. A$AP Rocky and Don't Be Dumb drops five spots to #34, the PinkPantheress mixtape Fancy That falls six places to #37 and double-digit falls are seen by both Whirlwind (Deluxe) for Lainey Wilson (drops eleven to #35) and West End Girl by Lily Allen (falls thirteen to #40).
TOP 50: Three rising entries here, with single-digit climbs going to Even in Arcadia by Sleep Token (to #43) and Tame Impala's Deadbeat (to #46), while another 26-week/half-a-year entry goes to the Royel Otis set hickey, which is up three to land at #47 this week (all 26 weeks on the chart have been within the Top 50 too).
Calvin Harris is on hold at #49 with his collection 96 Months, while the bigger drops here go to Justin Bieber's SWAG I + II (down nine to #42) and Malcolm Todd with Sweet Boy (mixtape), which drops seven to land at #44. Ocean Alley with their Love Balloon and Spacey Jane with If That Makes Sense both fall five places each to #41 and #48 respectively, while Kendrick Lamar dips three places to #45 with his GNX set.

"Lush Life" returns to #1 on the On Replay singles chart, after 1 week at #1 followed by 6 weeks at #2 behind "End Of Beginning". Their Spotify chart runs over this period have been 11-10-7-8-11-11-9-7 and 13-2-2-2-5-6-8-11 respectively. Dominic Fike's "Babydoll" climbs to #12 (and reaches a new peak of #32 on the weekly Spotify chart). Milky's "Just The Way You Are" climbs to #15, and one version of it - the remix (Mall Grab) - has appeared in the Spotify top 200 in the last few days. I was surprised it didn't appear in the top 100 singles last week (it would've been between #60 and #72) because I assumed it was being given 10 weeks of eligibility like "Alive" (Empire Of The Sun) and "Working Class Man", especially since it's being credited as the remix, and since it is on the dance singles chart, which you'd think would be in sync with the regular singles chart. Ed Sheeran is currently touring in Australia, with Vance Joy supporting. Ed has 5 songs in the On Replay singles chart, with "Perfect" and "Shape Of You" reaching new peaks of #18 and #25 respectively, "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud" re-entering, and "Shivers" debuting. No other old songs of his are in the Spotify weekly top 200, but his positions seem much stronger on Apple Music, where "Castle On The Hill", "Galway Girl" and "The A Team" are currently in the top 30.
On the Australian version, "Torn" happens to reach a new peak of #21. "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", which dropped out for 1 week, is back up to #29, ahead of 7 songs that have charted in every week. Vance Joy re-enters with "Mess Is Mine" and "Georgia" (both last charted in November), and debuts in between with "Missing Piece". On current global Spotify plays, his #5 song (after "Riptide" and these 3) is "Saturday Sun" and it's getting 56% as many plays as #4, so I'm guessing other songs of his aren't close. Empire Of The Sun's "Alive" is down to #49.
Troye Sivan's "Blue Neighbourhood" enters at #2 on the On Replay albums chart due to a 10th-anniversary reissue. (It actually turned 10 in December, coincidentally on the week that his 2020 EP charted with a 5th-anniversary reissue.) It does not appear on the regular albums chart, which theoretically makes sense since it hasn't been 10 years since it last charted, but is not consistent with Jimmy Barnes' reissue last November (which had charted in the past 10 years, but was allowed onto the regular albums chart for 1 week - allowing it while it was in the top 30, I assumed).
