Tones And I was the big winner at the 2020 APRA Music Awards
With two trophies, including the coveted song of the year,Tones has now won just about every major accolade going since her breakthrough hit “Dance Monkey” evolved into a monster.
The single recently passed seven billion streams across all platforms, including more than one billion on YouTube and 1.4 billion on Spotify, a record for a female artist. On Monday, Tones bagged the peer-voted APRA song of the year, one of the most precious industry awards in Australasia, to go with the 2020 breakthrough songwriter of the year, an honor that is determined by the PRO’s board of writer and publisher directors.
“As an artist, we don’t get recognized, a lot of the time as songwriters,” she said after collecting the breakthrough trophy, “but as an artist that does write my music, I want to say thank you.” “Dance Monkey” blasted to the top of the charts in at least 30 territories, including a record-setting 24-week stand atop the ARIA Singles Chart to go with four ARIA Awards. The song also ruled the Official U.K. Singles Chart for 11 weeks, a high mark for a solo female artist.
