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.[1] In 2009, 14 singles claimed the top spot, including Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", which started its peak position in late 2008. Seven acts achieved their first number-one single in Australia, either as a lead or featured artist: Jessica Mauboy, The Fray, Taylor Swift, A. R. Rahman, Nicole Scherzinger, David Guetta, Vanessa Amorosi and Kesha.[2]
The Black Eyed Peas earned three number-one singles during the year for "Boom Boom Pow", "I Gotta Feeling" and "Meet Me Halfway". Kesha's "Tik Tok" was longest-running number-one single in 2009, having topped the ARIA Singles Chart for eight consecutive weeks.[3] Flo Rida's "Right Round", The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling", and Guetta's "Sexy Bitch" each spent seven weeks at the number-one spot.
