When Facing The Things We Turn Away From is the twelfth Australian #1 album on the ARIA Charts in 2021.

All of us at ARIA congratulate Luke on taking his first step as a solo artist and going straight to number 1 with When Facing the Things We Turn Away From. Such an immense contribution to the Australian music landscape.”
