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. [6] In 2012, seventeen singles claimed the top spot, including LMFAO's " Sexy and I Know It", which started its peak position in late 2011. Seventeen acts achieved their first number-one single in Australia, either as a lead or featured artist: Foster the People, Sia, Gym Class Heroes, Neon Hitch, Fun, Janelle Monáe, Carly Rae Jepsen, Karise Eden, Justice Crew, Lupe Fiasco, Psy, Swedish House Mafia, John Martin, Samantha Jade, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Wanz. [7]
Fun and Flo Rida earned two number-one songs during the year. Flo Rida's " Whistle" was the longest-running number-one single of 2012, having topped the ARIA Singles Chart for eight weeks. [1] Carly Rae Jepsen's " Call Me Maybe" and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' " Thrift Shop" each topped the chart for five consecutive weeks, while Flo Rida's " Wild Ones", Psy's " Gangnam Style" and Guy Sebastian's " Battle Scars" all stayed at number one for six consecutive weeks.
