After two weeks away from the top of the ARIA Singles Chart the Drake track "Nice for What" reclaims the pole position this week for a second stay at No.1, while it holds for a fourth week in both New Zealand and America.
With the return of "Nice for What" by Drake it becomes the first song since "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran to reclaim the No.1 slot, it did so at the end of April in 2017, and by returning to the top it increases the total of weeks Drake has now spent at the summit to 20 weeks in total, moving him to fifth on the list for 'Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Singles; 2010's', one week shy of the 21 weeks racked up Pharrell Williams, while for the 1940 to 2018 listing he is now equal 34th alongside 50's crooner Eddie Fisher (7 #1's).
Last weeks highest new entry for Post Malone and "Better Now" climbs up two places to a new peak of No.2 and is the new No.1 streamed track in the country, while his former Drake-waiting track and last weeks No.1 "Psycho" drops down four places to land at No.5 this week and is sitting at No.3 on the streaming chart. The other former No.1 song recently was Ariana Grande with "No Tears Left to Cry" which is on hold at No.3, and the fourth-week running UK and Irish No.1 song in "One Kiss" for Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa is again up one spot to a new peak of No.4, both tracks newly certified as Gold (●) in sales too.
Khalid and Normani stay stable at No.6 with their track from the film 'Love, Simon' with "Love Lies" and this is followed by the highest new entry this week for Childish Gambino and "This is America", the track and controversial/interesting clip released this past week, and by entering within the ten it becomes his first ever Top 10 hit in Australia and surpasses the No.27 peak of his previous best effort "Redbone" (peaked August 2017). Also holding this week at No.8 are Lil' Dicky and Chris Brown with "Freaky Friday", which is now ▲Platinum in sales and leaping up fifteen places to score a new peak at No.9 are 5 Seconds of Summer with "Youngblood", becoming the bands fifth Top 10 single in Australia and their first since the late July of 2015 track "She's Kinda Hot" (HP-6), and lastly down three places to No.10 is The Weeknd with "Call Out My Name".

The third album that debuted within the Top 10 last week that scores a second week within the ten is the new Missy Higgins set "Solastalgia", which is down three places to No.6, while former No.1 "KOD" by J. Cole is back up one spot to No.7 and with the current cinema release of his documentary for Geoffrey Gurumul Yunupingu, his album "Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow)" holds for a fourth week within the Top 10 and is stable at No.9.

Seems really illogical though when they've made such a promotional effort with it. I suppose there's precedent with the P!nk/City and Colour project years back but this doesn't feel like the same sort of deal.
I just assume it's a mix up to do with the fact that iTunes credits it as LSD - Genius (feat...) but Spotify's charts have Sia - Genius (with...), and whoever proofreads the charts didn't match the two up correctly.
