LMFAO's " Party Rock Anthem" topped the ARIA Singles Chart for ten consecutive weeks, becoming the longest running number-one single of the 2010s in the chart's history. [1]

The ARIA Singles Chart ranks the best-performing singles in Australia. Its data, published by the Australian Recording Industry Association, is based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales. [2] In 2011, thirteen singles claimed the top spot, including Bruno Mars' " Grenade" and Guy Sebastian's " Who's That Girl", both of which started their peak positions in late 2010. Ten acts achieved their first number-one single in Australia, either as a lead or featured artist: Wynter Gordon, Pitbull, LMFAO, Lauren Bennett, GoonRock, Adele, Gotye, Kimbra, Kelly Clarkson and Reece Mastin. [3] Five collaborations topped the chart.

LMFAO earned two number-one singles during the year for " Party Rock Anthem" and " Sexy and I Know It". The former was the longest running number-one single of 2011, having topped the ARIA Singles Chart for ten consecutive weeks. It became the longest running number-one single of the 2010s in the chart's history. [1] Adele's " Someone Like You" topped the chart for seven consecutive weeks, while Gotye's " Somebody That I Used to Know" stayed at number one for eight consecutive weeks. It became the first Australian single to achieve this feat since Savage Garden's " Truly Madly Deeply" (1997). [4] LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" topped the chart for seven weeks in 2011 and two additional weeks in 2012.
