The Chainsmokers' and Halsey denied Australian Number 1 by Major Lazer

The Chainsmokers are the highest new entry on this week's Australian ARIA singles chart with their latest single Closer. 

The US DJ duo debut at Number 2 on the tally, denied the top spot by Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and MO's Cold Water, which logs a second week at Number 1. 

Closer is now The Chainsmokers' highest-charting entry on the chart; they’ve previously charted with #Selfie (Number 3 in 2014), Roses (Number 5 in 2016) and Don't Let Me Down (Number 3 in 2016). It's also Halsey's highest spot on the tally following her Number 22-peaking collaboration with Justin Bieber The Feeling.
