While Miley Cyrus holds onto #1 for another week.
Embedded for a fourth week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart is Miley's Flowers, with an extra seedling for the track this week too.
After four consecutive weeks at #1 Flowers for Miley Cyrus has by-passed Gold sales status and bloomed straight into ▲Platinum accreditation this week, plus the track is now the longest-running #1 single since Taylor Swift and her Anti-Hero spent six weeks at the top of the singles chart from October 31st, 2022. The track is again at the top in England, Ireland, New Zealand (all fourth week), The U.S.A., Canada, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, World Chart (all third week), Norway and France (both second week) and newly at the summit in both Denmark and Sweden, plus again at #2 in Germany (former #1), Finland and Portugal (peak positions).

Last week was the post-triple j Hottest 100 chart, while this past week the Grammy Award were held, and that influences some of this week's singles chart, as winner for 'Best Single Pop, duo, group performance' went to Sam Smith and Kim Petras for their track Unholy, which the pair also sung on the night of the Awards, all helping the song to climb back up two places and land at #3, while the track was last certified as ▲Platinum on Nov. 28th, 2022, this week it is newly 3x▲Platinum in sales.
Sam and Kim's rise back up pushes down Escapism for RAYE with 070 Shake to #4, while her debut album My 21st Century Blues has landed at #2 in her home country of England, it has not charted within our Top 50 Album this week. Taylor Swift won a single Grammy this year for 'Best Video Clip' for All Too Well, and her current single Anti-Hero is back up one spot to #5, while she also retakes the albums summit this week with Midnights for a twelfth overall week at #1 there.
Reclaiming his position within the Top 10 this week is local artist The Kid LAROI with last week's entry for Love Again leaping up eight places this week to land at a new peak of #6, becoming his sixth Top 10 single locally and his first since Thousand Miles debuted and peaked at #4 from early May of 2022, plus he issued another track on Friday (Feb. 10th) called Kids are Growing Up (Part 1), his third new track for 2023.
Not moving from the #7 spot is the Oliver Tree and Robin Schulz teaming for their version of Miss You, followed by three rising tracks; Creepin' for Metro Boomin', The Weeknd and 21 Savage and I Ain't Worried (WI10-27) for OneRepublic, both up a single spot each to #8 and #10 respectively. One of the multiple Grammy Award winners this past week was Harry Styles, who scored 'Album of the Year', 'Best Pop Vocal Album' and 'Best Engineered Album' all for Harry's House, while he performed the album's lead single As it Was on the night, which has helped that track to climb back up six places and land at #9 this week, racking up its 36th week within the Top 10, becoming now the seventh longest running Top 10 entry in Australian Chart History.
