The power of triple j's Hottest 100 has been felt in the ARIA Singles Chart this week, with Melbourne singer-songwriter – and number one place getter in the Hottest 100 – Vance Joy picking up a mammoth sales boost to land him and his song Riptide, in sixth position this week, his highest effort yet.

The song has now spent a whopping 32 weeks in the charts and its previous highest peak was seventh spot. It is up from 35th position, where it was last week. Hottest 100 runner-up Lorde also shot back up the charts this week, with her The Love Club EP – which features the hit Royals – up 18 positions this week to land at number ten.

Other Hottest 100 bumps were experienced by Flume & Chet Faker's Drop The Game (up from 31 to 18, its highest position to date), Lana Del Rey's Young And Beautiful (34 to 23 in its Cedric Gervais remix format), Lorde's Team (48 to 30), Daft Punk's Get Lucky (68 to 33), The Preatures' Is This How You Feel EP (90 to 46, its highest position), Fatboy Slim & Riva Starr's Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat (re-entering the top 100 at 47, its highest position) and Arctic Monkeys' Do I Wanna Know (97 to 48).

At the pointy end of the chart, Pharrell Williams celebrates a fifth week in the top spot with Happy, while London Grammar continue to climb, hitting fourth position this week – their highest spot on the charts so far – with their track Strong. Not such a great week for Aussie rapper 360, his Impossible track, featuring the vocals of silverchair's Daniel Johns, has plummeted 41 spots to be in 66th position for only its second week on the charts.
