The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber’s appropriately-titled “Stay” (Columbia/Sony) enters a 16th non-consecutive week at No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, placing the hit track in rare company.
With its latest feat, “Stay” takes outright second place in ARIA’s all-time list of most weeks spent at the summit, behind only Tones And I’s “Dance Monkey,” which logged 24 weeks at the top following its release in 2019.
“Stay” has been nothing short of a juggernaut with fans and the industry. The six-times platinum certified track came in at No. 2 on triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown for 2021, and it’s nominated for the coveted song of the year at the 2022 APRA Music Awards.
