Chart sensation Tones and I looks set to clean up at this year’s ARIA Awards, after claiming a field-leading eight nominations including song of the year for her record-breaking hit Dance Monkey.

The Byron Bay-via-Melbourne singer also earned nods for best female artist, breakthrough artist, best pop release, best independent release and best video, alongside nominations in the producer of the year and engineer of the year categories.

The surprise honours cap a remarkable year for the 19-year-old, real name Toni Watson, which was essentially fuelled off the strength of one hit.

Earlier this month, Dance Monkey – with its infectious Euro-pop beat and off-kilter vocals – broke Kylie Minogue's 32-year record for single with most weeks at No.1 by a female Australian artist after claiming its 10th consecutive week atop the ARIA singles chart. It has now overtaken Justice Crew's Que Sera for the most weeks at No.1 for any Australian artist. The song has also topped charts in the UK and much of Europe.
