Singles
American rapper Lil Nas X scores his second ARIA singles chart number one as he hits the top spot with Montero (Call Me By Your Name). Now in its fourth week in the top 50, the track previously spent one week at number one in the US and has notched up three straight weeks on top in the UK. Lil Nas X spent 13 weeks at number one on the ARIA chart with Old Town Road in April 2019.
The top Australian track of the week remains Astronaut In The Ocean by Masked Wolf at number five. This week is the tenth week in the charts for the Sydneysider.
Climbing up five spots to number six, Olivia Rodrigo claims her second singles chart top ten this week with Déjà Vu. The follow-up single to Drivers License has also made the top ten in the US, New Zealand and Canada.
It’s a big week for anniversaries. This week is the 20th week in the charts for Heat Waves by Glass Animals and Without You by The Kid Laroi. It’s week number 40 for the 1977 hit Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, which re-entered the charts off the back of a viral TikTok video (that was even spoofed by Mick Fleetwood himself). It’s week 60 for Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles, and week 95 for Tones and I’s breakout hit Dance Monkey.
Albums
English indie-pop band London Grammar score their first number one on the ARIA albums chart this week with Californian Soil. The trio’s third album is their first in four years, coming as the follow-up to Truth Is A Beautiful Thing which peaked at number three in 2017. It takes over from debut If You Wait as their highest peak, which hit number two in 2013. London Grammar recently announced an Australian tour for February 2022.
The top Australian album this week comes from The Kid Laroi with F*ck Love (Savage), which holds steady this week at number nine.
This week punk veterans The Offspring released their first album in nine years, Let The Bad Times Roll. Debuting at number two, the album becomes their eighth top ten in Australia.

The Offspring have previously topped the ARIA albums chart with Smash in February 1995 and Americana in January 1999.
Canadian singer-songwriter Alex Henry Foster makes his ARIA charts debut with the live album Standing Under Bright Lights. The set includes Foster and his band’s performance at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal on July 5, 2019.
