Australia’s ARIA charts bring another week of steady movement, with Olivia Rodrigo holding firm at the top of the albums list while Taylor Swift climbs back to the peak on the singles chart.
Alongside them, new entries from Australian and international artists shape a chart week marked by both consistency and fresh debuts.
Albums Chart Highlights
Olivia Rodrigo keeps her position at No. 1 for a second week with “You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love” via Geffen/Universal. Earlier in the week, Rodrigo shared on Nova 96.9’s Ricki-Lee & Tim that a return to Australia remains possible, noting her strong connection with the country following her October 2024 visit during the GUTS World Tour across Sydney and Melbourne.
The biggest new entry comes from Australian rapper Chillinit, whose album “Wisdom Weed & Wordplay” lands at No. 5. This marks his fifth studio release and another top five placement in his catalog.
Perth-based psychedelic rock group Pond arrives at No. 19 with “Terrestrials”, their 11th studio album and seventh appearance inside the ARIA top 50. Additional debuts include Placebo’s “Placebo RE:CREATED” at No. 40, Miles Smith with “My Mess, My Heart, My Life.” at No. 41, Leah Senior’s “Pt. Roadknight” at No. 42, and Patrick Roberts’ “Del Gesu” at No. 48.
Singles Chart Brings Swift Back to No. 1
Taylor Swift returns to No. 1 with “I Knew It, I Knew You”, which rises from 11 to the top spot following renewed attention tied to the release of Top Story 5 in cinemas. The track originally debuted at No. 1 three weeks earlier before its latest rebound.
On the singles chart, Tame Impala moves “Dracula” from 18 to 10 in its 35th week. Other Australian entries include G Flip’s “Bed On Fire” moving 47 to 44 and The Kid LAROI with “Girls” shifting 40 to 45. No new singles enter the top 50 this week.
This week’s ARIA results reflect a mix of global chart power and steady local presence. Established artists continue to dominate key positions, while new entries across genres keep the competition active and varied across both albums and singles rankings.
