40. $uicideBoy$ - Thy Kingdom Come (Peak: 6, Weeks: 5)

New #1! 'The Fate Of Ophelia' is the 10th song to spend time at #1 this year, which is 5 less than there were at this time last year, and Taylor's eighth #1. I haven't calculated the freshness of the top 10 in a while, but this one's undeniably fresh, with 90% new entries from Taylor's album bomb. One song manages to climb despite 12 tracks debuting ahead of it, and that climber is Olivia Dean's 'Baby Steps', which would be #23 if Taylor hadn't released.

On the album chart, it's Taylor's 15th #1, and she's also the only new entry this week. Three albums reach their 78th week on the chart, which is equal to a year and a half, so next we'll see if they get moved to the catalog/recurrent chart. I'm inclined to predict they will...

'Man I Need' returns to #1 for its 4th week at the top. Believe it or not, the two weeks at #1 for 'The Fate Of Ophelia' make it Taylor's joint-longest-running #1 in New Zealand, matching the two weeks of 'Shake It Off', 'Look What You Made Me Do', and 'Anti-Hero'. Further down, Joji scores his second-highest-charting song in New Zealand, ahead of two songs that peaked at #32 ('Sanctuary' and 'Die For You'), behind only 'Glimpse Of Us' which peaked at #1. And Olivia Dean charts another song from her album.

In the album chart, on the other hand, Taylor has not been dethroned yet. Highest new entry is Tame Impala, two spots behind the #3 peak of The Slow Rush, still their highest-charting here. Currents peaked at #7 and Lonerism at #34. The Last Dinner Party charts for the first time in NZ, as their debut Prelude To Ecstasy never made the top 40 here.

It was a great week for Olivia Dean - notice the new peak for 'So Easy' and her album tracks, especially the huge climb for 'A Couple Minutes'. RAYE's song is the only non-Olivia song to reach a new peak this week, but it's also nice to see 'Folded' back in the top 10.

On the album chart, would you believe...West End Girl is instantly Lily Allen's highest-charting album in NZ!? Her previous best was a tie between It's Not Me It's You and Sheezus, both of which peaked at #9. Alright Still never got past #22 and No Shame almost missed out entirely, peaking at #40. If any of the songs chart, it'll be her first singles chart appearance since 'Air Balloon' peaked at #30 in 2014. Daniel Caesar also has his highest-charting album to date (previous best was #15), while Dave's best is still #8 from We're All Alone In This Together from 2021. Demi Lovato just barely beats the #36 peak of her last release Holy Fvck; she has yet to miss the top 40 with a studio album, not counting Revamped.

We have a static top 7, and once again no new entries, and only four songs reaching new peaks. Three are by Olivia Dean ('A Couple Minutes', 'Baby Steps' and 'Let Alone The One You Love') and the other is 'WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!'. It's finally RAYE's second top 10, two years after 'Prada' peaked at #11!

On the album chart, Taylor Swift is dethroned after four weeks at #1. Highest new entry is Florence + The Machine, sadly breaking their top-3 streak (not counting their MTV Unplugged which peaked at #27). Their previous two peaked at #2 while Ceremonials and How Big How Blue How Beautiful were both #1s.

40. Avril Lavigne - Greatest Hits (Last week: 37, Peak: 32, Weeks: 18)

The top 5 remains static, but some of Olivia Dean's tracks continue to climb, with 'A Couple Minutes' up to #6, 'Baby Steps' to #17, and 'Let Alone The One You Love' to #18. Finally two new entries this week after two weeks without any. The higher of the two is the newly-controversial HAVEN. 'I Run', although not nearly as high as it was expected to debut in the UK. Will it climb, will it be belatedly removed, stay tuned. 'Talk Of The Town' also appears, but not up to Fred Again's usual standard here ('Victory Lap' peaked at #2).

On the album chart, the highest new entry is Beastwars, who first charted in NZ in 2011, with one #1 album in 2019. Their most recent album peaked at #4 just as this new one does. Rosalia makes her very first chart appearance in New Zealand, and Hayley Williams makes her first solo album chart appearance, as her previous release missed the top 40. Benee unfortunately has her lowest-charting release to date, unless it climbs; her previous album reached #13 in 2022.

Interesting week! Olivia Dean now has the top two with 'So Easy' climbing to the runner-up spot. RAYE has a new peak as does KATSEYE, and 'Ready To Ride' re-enters to a new peak. And Tame Impala makes their NZ singles chart debut! (or his debut, I guess, since it's just Kevin now).

On the albums chart, 5SOS barely continues their top 5 streak across their six studio albums. Their self-titled debut remains their only #1, and their previous release 5SOS5 peaked at #3 in 2022. NF's last release reached #1 but his follow-up EP does a fair bit worse charting at #14. And at #16 Summer Walker's Finally Over It charts in the same spot that Over It peaked in 2019; Still Over It remains her career best peaking at #13.

I make that 8/12 tracks from The Art Of Loving top 40. Can’t imagine there are many other examples for this kind, of an album dominating the charts outside of a release week.

Also yes to Raye climbing still.

'Golden' had 8 weeks at #1 year, so 'Man I Need' surpassed that total last week with its 9th and now its 10th week at #1. This seems like the earliest the "Christmas rush" has occurred in New Zealand, it used to be a later-in-the-month thing. Mariah Carey is currently ahead of Wham! but the latter beat her to #1 last Christmas (), so we'll see if it overtakes later. Unsurprisingly HAVEN 'I Run' is the only song with a new peak this week.

A couple albums I wanted to mention last week. The new Wicked soundtrack entered at #5, not matching the previous soundtrack's #3 peak, and doesn't look likely to match its longevity either. Sub Focus does not match the #8 peak of their previous album, still their career best, but is comfortably their second-highest-peaking album in NZ, beating the #26 Portals from 2020 (none of the others have charted here).

The Christmas songs are fairly static this week and may remain that way until the actual Christmas Day boost, so I'm predicting they won't move much next week either. The non-Christmas songs are static too, even 'I Run' stalls at #13 for now. This week's lone new entry is from Tyla, who previously topped this chart with 'Water', which may or may not bode well for 'Chanel' to also fare better here than other countries.

'Chanel' would now be #18 on the singles chart with Christmas songs removed, I look forward to seeing if it gets that high or maybe higher in January. We welcome back Six60 to the singles chart for the first time since 2022! Two songs by different Kiwi artists on the chart at the same time, even with Christmas songs in the mix, that is truly impressive these days.

On the album chart, Fred Again adds a fourth album to his top 10 tally, a year after Ten Days peaked at #5. His career best is still the original USB which peaked at #3. 21 Savage is pretty far from matching the #1 peak of American Dream, but this is still his second-highest-charting solo release. Unlike the UK, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here spent its very first three weeks at #1 on NZ's album chart; now it's back in the top 7 for the first time since February 1976.

This is only the second week at #1 for 'Last Christmas', its first week being the equivalent chart from a year ago. Unfortunately, no Christmas songs are debuting for the first time this year. We do get new peaks, however, for 'Jingle Bell Rock', 'Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow' (Dean Martin's version), 'Holly Jolly Christmas', 'The Christmas Song', 'Wonderful Christmastime', 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)', 'Step Into Christmas', 'Carol Of The Bells', and 'Santa, Can't You Hear Me'.

The end-of-year chart will be posted in this thread at some point; otherwise, it's onto the 2026 chart thread next week with the first chart of the year. See you there!

Oh the end-of-year chart was published a month ago, I just didn't find it until now. Here it is!

No surprises in the top two singles or top two albums. 12/50 songs from 2024's EOY also appear in 2025, an increase from the previous year which had 8/50 songs from 2023's EOY appear in 2024. Naturally the album chart has a lot more carry-over from 2024, such is the nature of the album chart and streaming.

All things considered, though, the singles EOY looks relatively fresh and representative enough of the past year. Nice to see more native representation than last year, and not just in the form of 'APT.' Just a shame Lorde didn't make it with 'What Was That' - if you look at the EOY Aotearoa Singles, it was #7 so probably quite a ways from making the overall top 50 ('Back In My Arms' was #2, by comparison). Interestingly, even though 'APT.' was never tagged by the charts company as an Aotearoa-native hit, at least one other song by ROSÉ was, as 'Toxic Till The End' is found at #15 on that respective EOY chart.
