Lukas Graham's 7 Years is no longer the longest reigning Number 1 single of 2016 in Australia.

Closer by The Chainsmokers and Halsey has now spent nine weeks at the helm of the ARIA Singles Chart, seven days longer than Lukas Graham's massive track. Closer spent four weeks at Number 1 in the UK and is still Number 1 the US where it has managed seven weeks on top.

Andrew and Alex continue to fend of Calum Scott's Dancing On My Own and James Arthur's Say You Won't Let Go which are stationary at 2 and 3, followed by The Weeknd's Starboy at 4 and new entry This Town by Niall Horan at 5.

The Chainsmokers are back at Number 11 with new track All We Know featuring Phoebe Ryan, Shawn Mendes' Mercy continues its climb - up four rungs to Number 18 - and The Fighter, Keith Urban's collaboration with Carrie Underwood re-enters the chart at 31.

On the ARIA Albums Chart, reggae rock act Sticky Fingers earn their first Number 1 album, just ahead of Bon Iver at Number 2 with 22, A Million and Keith Urban's Ripcord at 3.
