Singles
American rapper Jack Harlow takes out a second week at #1 on the ARIA singles chart with the track First Class. The second single from Harlow’s forthcoming sophomore album, Come Home the Kids Miss You, it also hit the top spot on charts in the US, Canada, and New Zealand.
Seemingly unbeatable as the highest ranking Australian single, The Kid Laroi’s Stay featuring Justin Bieber remains steady at #4.
In its seventh week in the top 50, Following The Sun by British production duo SUPER-Hi has climbed up four spots to crack the top 20 for the first time at #18. The single’s previous peak was #21.
Lauren Spencer-Smith scores the only debut in this week’s top 50 with the track Flowers. It’s the Canadian singer-songwriter’s second chart entry following her top ten success with Fingers Crossed which peaked at #8 in January this year. Fingers Crossed now sits at #47 this week.
This week marks 80 weeks in the top 50 for Dua Lipa’s Levitating, as Future Nostalgia re-takes #1 on the albums chart. Closer to home, Tones And I’s Dance Monkey records its 100th week in the top 50, having spent a whopping 25 of those weeks in the #1 spot.
Albums
In its 108th week in the top 50, Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia moves back up to claim a third week at #1 on the ARIA albums chart. Released in March 2020, the British pop superstar’s second album originally hit #1 in its third week. It returned to the top spot in mid-March 2021. The album’s third chart triumph comes off the back of the release of the Australian Tour Edition, a new pressing on green vinyl. Dua Lipa’s Australian tour is locked in for in November.
Following on from his headlining slot at Coachella last weekend (and again this weekend) that was streamed worldwide and included a guest appearance from Shania Twain, Harry Styles climbs six spots to #3 with his second album Fine Line. His self-titled debut has jumped #15 to #17. Styles’ third album, Harry’s House, is set for release on May 20th. As It Was, the new album’s lead single, is at #2 this week.
Tyler, The Creator’s sixth album Call Me If You Get Lost returns to chart this week at #10 on the back of its issue on vinyl. Released in June 2021, it peaked at #2 in its first week on the chart. It recently won Best Hip-Hop/Rap Album at the Grammy Awards.
The highest ranking Australian album this week, country singer-songwriter Kirsty Lee Akers takes out her highest ever debut on the ARIA albums chart as she hits #11 with Wild. Akers’ sixth album comes four years on from Under My Skin which peaked at #29 in August 2018. This week, Akers has made multiple appearances during the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
