Singles

For the second week in a row, David Guetta and Bebe Rexha’s I’m Good (Blue) takes #1 on the singles chart. The success follows viral success after a clip of the track clocked over 500 million views on Tiktok. The single is Guetta’s first #1 since 2010’s Sweat, a collaboration with Snoop Dogg. The track also marks Bebe Rexha’s first Australian #1, after 2017’s Meant To Be peaked at #2.

BLACKPINK, featuring Australian-raised main singer Rosé, debuts at #5 on the singles chart with Shut Down. The group’s previous #1 single Pink Venom returns to the top 20 at #18.

The top Australian single on the charts this week once again comes from The Kid Laroi, with Stay holding steady at #15.

Albums

Matter of Time, Meg Mac’s third studio album, represents the Australian singer-songwriter’s best performance on the ARIA charts after 2017’s Low Blows peaked at #2. She has previously been nominated for Best Female Artist and Breakthrough Artist of the year at the 2015 ARIA Awards.  

On her success, Meg said: “Thank you to everyone who has gotten behind me and supported this album, it truly means the world. I couldn’t be happier to hear the #1 news today.”  

ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said: “It’s so exciting to see an incredible local artist like Meg Mac take out #1, particularly in a week as hotly contested as this one, it’s a real triumph. Congratulations to Meg and her team from everyone at ARIA. Two Australian #1 debuts in a row is serious reason to celebrate.”  

After making ARIA chart history with their #1 single Pink Venom, K-pop megastars BLACKPINK debut at #2 on the albums chart with their second studio album, BORN PINK.  

Continuing the K-pop trend, NCT 127 debut at #3 on the albums chart with 2 Baddies – The 4th Album, the NCT sub unit’s latest release.
