Topping the chart this week is Sydney rapper The Kid Laroi, with Without You. In its 22nd week in the top 50, Without You jumps up from #10 to hit #1 on the ARIA singles chart for the first time. It becomes The Kid Laroi’s first #1 single, having topped the albums chart for a week in February with F*ck Love (Savage).
Previously peaking at #2 for five weeks, the ascent to the top of the chart by Without You comes on the back of a remix which features Miley Cyrus. The Kid Laroi becomes the first Australian artist to hit #1 on the ARIA singles chart since January 2020, when Tones And I ended her 24-week-run in the top spot with Dance Monkey.
ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said: “A #1 single by an Australian artist is a fantastic achievement in itself but to hit the top of the chart after so many weeks is remarkable. A massive congratulations to The Kid Laroi who has managed to top both charts in the space of three months. He’s an Aussie artist who is making a big impact overseas, particularly in the US.”
British rappers Russ Millions and Tion Wayne jump 18 spots to hit #3 with their single Body in its fifth week in the top 50. In recent weeks, a remix of the track was released featuring Bugzy Malone, Fivio Foreign, Darkoo, Buni, ArrDee, E1 and ZT.
Following the announcement and the title of her second album, Billie Eilish hits the top ten with Your Power at #9. It’s the third single from the album Happier Than Ever, due July 30th, following My Future and Therefore I Am. It becomes her twelfth top ten single on the ARIA charts.

Australia’s Amy Shark scores her second #1 album on the ARIA charts as she debuts in the top spot with Cry Forever. The follow-up to 2018’s Love Monster is the eight-time ARIA Award winner’s second album and includes collaborations with Ed Sheeran, Keith Urban and Blink-182’s Travis Barker. Cry Forever features the singles Everybody Rise and Love Songs Ain’t For Us.
ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said: “Huge congratulations to Amy Shark on her second ARIA chart-topper with Cry Forever. Amy is one of Australian music’s brightest stars and is an inspiration to us all. It’s great that she’ll be able to share her music live with audiences around the country in the coming months. What a great week for Australian music!”
With Amy Shark at #1 on the albums chart and The Kid Laroi topping the singles chart with Without You, it becomes the first week Australian artists have topped both charts since December 2019 when Cold Chisel topped the albums chart with Blood Moon and Tones And I held #1 on the singles chart with Dance Monkey.
British rock duo Royal Blood return with their first album in four years, Typhoons, at #5. The pair’s third album follows How Did We Get So Dark? and sees Queens Of The Stone Age front man Josh Homme take on production duties for three tracks.
Rounding out the top ten, Norwegian artist Girl In Red makes her ARIA charts debut on the back of her debut album, If I Could Make It Go Quiet. Prior to the album, the singer-songwriter also known as Marie Ulven released two EP: 2018’s Chapter 1 and 2019’s Chapter 2.
Julia Stone returns to solo artist mode as she releases her first album in nine years, Sixty Summers, which debuts at #16. The third studio album from one half of ARIA-winning duo Angus & Julia Stone becomes her second to appear in the ARIA top 50.
