The release gained traction across several key markets, with Nova 93.7 in Perth leading the charge with 30 spins. Regional support also helped push the track into the Top 40, with Geelong’s K Rock contributing 15 spins.

Maroon 5 have teamed up with global K-pop star LISA for their new single ‘Priceless’, which enters the chart at #36. The collaboration made a notable impact, with Nova stations driving the bulk of the airplay — accounting for more than 70% of all national spins. The Hit Network also showed strong early support for the track.

Meanwhile, Dua Lipa’s ‘These Walls’ suffered a significant dip, losing 200 spins this charting week. The track slides ten places to #28, marking its lowest chart position since its January debut.
