Singles
Adele holds the #1 spot on the ARIA singles chart for a second week with Easy On Me. Since topping last week’s chart, the comeback single has gone on to hit #1 around the world, including on charts in the UK, US, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore and across Europe. Of the British singer-songwriter’s previous two #1s, Someone Like You spent seven weeks at #1 in 2011, and 2015’s Hello held the top spot for six weeks.
Having been bumped down to third on the chart last week, the highest ranked Australian single this week is previously reigning Stay by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber at #3. However, coming in second is Elton John and Dua Lipa with Cold Heart (PNAU Remix). While Dua Lipa and Elton John both come from England, the track is remixed by Aussie electro-dance trio PNAU.
The reunited Swedish House Mafia make their first ARIA singles chart entry in almost a decade as they team up with The Weeknd for Moth To A Flame at #8. Splitting in 2013, the trio regrouped in 2018. The new track becomes their first chart entry since Don’t You Worry Child topped the chart in 2012. It’s The Weeknd’s second top ten entry for 2021 after Take My Breath hit #9 in August.
Jason Derulo has returned to the top 50 with his newest track Acapulco coming in at #44. It’s his first track released under Atlantic Records after announcing he had signed with them in March this year. In May 2020, Derulo confirmed that he had left his record contract with Warner Bros. Records due to creative differences.
Albums
Sydney dance trio Rüfüs Du Sol snare their third #1 album on the ARIA charts as they debut in the top spot with Surrender. The group’s fourth studio album comes three years on from Solace, which peaked at #2. It features the single Alive, which has been nominated for Best Dance Release and Best Group at the 2021 ARIA Awards in partnership with YouTube Music. The track On My Knees has debuted on this week’s singles chart at #43. Rüfüs Du Sol previously hit #1 with the albums Atlas in 2013 and Bloom in 2016. Surrender becomes the 14th Australian #1 album on the ARIA Charts in 2021.
ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said: “Huge congratulations to the amazing Rüfüs Du Sol on scoring their third ARIA #1 album! It’s great to see Rüfüs Du Sol achieving such incredible global success right now and playing to massive US crowds like at Red Rocks last month. Hopefully we will all have the same opportunity to see them here live soon.”
Elton John takes out his highest ARIA albums charts debut in almost 30 years as he hits #2 with the collaborations project The Lockdown Sessions. The legendary singer-songwriter’s first studio album Wonderful Crazy Night becomes his first top ten studio release since 2001’s Songs From The West Coast and the highest debut by a studio album since The One hit #2 in 1992. The Lockdown Sessions includes the single Cold Heart. The album also features work with Gorillaz, Miley Cyrus, Years & Years, Brandi Carlile, Lil Nas X, Stevie Wonder, Eddie Vedder, Stevie Nicks, and many more.
American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey takes out her seventh ARIA top ten album as she debuts at #3 with Blue Banisters. It’s her second album for 2021, coming seven months on from Chemtrails Over The Country Club which hit #2 in March. Announced the month after her previous album was released, Blue Bannisters was originally slated for a 4 July release. Lana Del Rey first hit the top ten with Born To Die in 2012.
All For One, the debut album from Newcastle rockers The Screaming Jets, re-enters the chart at #4 on the back of a reissue to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Released in April 1991, the album debuted at #3 before peaking at #2 the following week. It was later accredited Gold. All For One included the singles Better, Stop The World, and Shine On.
Synth-pop veterans Duran Duran take out their highest debut in over 35 years as they hit #16 with Future Past. The follow-up to 2015’s Paper Gods is the band’s 15th studio album and includes collaborations with Blur’s Graham Coxon, David Bowie pianist Mike Garson, Japanese band Chai, plus producers Mark Ronson, Erol Alkan, and Giorgio Moroder. Duran Duran haven’t appeared this high on the ARIA albums chart since they released the live album Arena, which hit #8 in December 1984.
After being reissued on vinyl, 2005’s B-Sides & Rarities (Part II) by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds has debuted on the albums chart at #38.
