Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo hit #1

Moves by Harry Styles, Jack Harlow and more!

Three weeks into its run on the ARIA Singles Chart, ‘Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat)’ by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo jumps up two spots to hit #1. It becomes the fourth #1 single for American R&B star Derulo after ‘In My Head’ (#1 Feb. ’10), ‘Talk Dirty’ (#1 Aug. ’13) and ‘Trumpets’ (#1 Dec. ’13). It becomes the first #1 in Australia for 17-year-old Josh Nanai from Auckland, New Zealand, also known as producer Jawsh 685. He’s the first New Zealand lead artist to have a #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart in 24 years, and only the third since the ARIA Charts began. It follows Dave Dobbyn with Herbs’ ‘Slice Of Heaven’ (#1 May ’87) and OMC’s ‘How Bizarre’ (#1 Apr. ’96).
 
After two weeks at #6, Harry Styles’ ‘Watermelon Sugar’ moves to a new peak at #5. Styles’ Fine Line (#1 Dec. ’19) moves back up from #6 to #3 this week in its 29th week in the Albums Chart Top Ten.
 
In its 13th week in the Top 50, Jack Harlow’s ‘Whats Poppin’ races up 29 spots to #9, cracking the Top Ten for the first time. Its surge comes on the back of a new remix released this week featuring DaBaby, Tory Lanez and Lil Wayne. The single previously peaked at #22.
 
There are also new peaks this week for Brando’s ‘Look Into My Eyes’ (#27), Nea’s ‘Some Say’ (#33) and the Hilltop Hoods’ ‘I’m Good?’ (#46).
