“Dance Monkey” topped the charts in more than 30 countries, including a record-setting 24-week run atop Australia’s ARIA Singles Chart and 11 weeks at the summit of the U.K.’s singles rundown – the most by a solo female artist.
Other winners included Aussie hip-hop trio Hilltop Hoods, who won the Songwriter of the Year award and the most performed urban work gong for their track “Leave Me Lonely”.
Teenage sensation Kian Brownfield, 17, and his co-writer Jerome Farah also won two APRA awards, for his track, Waiting, recognised for Most Performed Australian Work and Most Performed Alternative work.
