Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” can’t be toppled this week with a run of three weeks at the top of the chart.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are again stuck at #2 as a couple of female megastars climb up the chart.
Taking her time towards the top is Taylor Swift with “Wildest Dreams” hitting #3 after seven weeks.
Just missing the top 10 on debut is a chart veteran. P!nk returns to the ARIA singles chart with “Today’s the Day” which is the theme song for the 13th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
