Vance Joy has reached a massive milestone on the ARIA Singles Chart.
With his single ‘Riptide’ occupying the #73 position this week, the Melbourne singer-songwriter becomes the first Australian artist, and just the third in ARIA Chart History, to have a single spend 100 weeks in the top 100.
There are two singles ahead of ‘Riptide’ as the longest-running top 100 hits: ‘Poker Face’ by Lady Gaga (#1 Nov. ’08) spent 106 weeks in the top 100, while ‘I Gotta Feeling’ by Black Eyed Peas (#1 Jun. ’09) spent 105 weeks inside the 100.
‘Poker Face’ was the first to reach the 100-week mark on the chart of 6 September 2010. It had an unbroken run of 99 weeks which ended in August 2010 before making its return and setting the record.
Poker Face hold record as the longest-running song in the Top 100 in ARIA single chart history with 106 cumulative weeks
