"Golden" is #1 for a 4th week. It remains so thoroughly unchallenged that most of the upward movement is from the other KPop Demon Hunters songs that have already been deigned unable to beat it. There are now 6 in the top 10 as "Free" makes it over the line. I didn't mention last week that Tinashe hit a new career high by surpassing the #5 peak of "All My Friends", so I will this week and she's gotten even higher again. Tyler, The Creator continues to wreak havoc on the relevance of a Friday release as he charts a new entry weeks after the fact, and it's on the cusp of surpassing the daily Spotify peak from day 1. Olivia Dean gets the huge boon of a week 1 new entry, as "Man I Need" will no doubt soar next week.

KPop Demon Hunters is now the #1 album for a 6th week. I believe it's the longest running #1 album from an animated film but haven't had time to double check this. Conan Gray has scored his highest ever charting album as he reaches #2. He's had two top 10s before, but only on the lower end. Jordan Davis, the guy who made that song about how you should try just buying a house scores his first ever top 50 album, and lands in the top 10 even. The next debut comes from Mama Kin Spender, which is the duo of Mama Kin and Spender if you can believe it. Spender is also one half of one of my favourite songs no one's ever heard of. OneRepublic enter with another one of those compilations that basically no one is buying, and it's just in time to potentially climb next week as THE GREAT GOMMAGE OF 2025 IS HAPPENING (play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, very good video game) and like half the album chart will be wiped.

    Wow at Daniel Seavey making the top 10, that feels hugely surprising! He's better known as a member of Why Don't We, who had two top 10 albums in Australia.

"Golden" is #1 for a 5th week. I apologise for bad intel last week, I believe the actual ARIA Chart gommage is coming next week. We come very close to having 7 KPop Demon Hunters songs in the top 10, and maybe that's still possible as sombr is crashing pretty hard on Spotify this week...except nah, Sabrina Carpenter's gonna carve up real estate. Maybe not quite as much as you'd expect as she's having a slower showing in Australia as per regular business. Too early to say if it's gonna correct itself by the end of the week or she's genuinely less popular here, but expect only "Tears" and "Manchild" as top 10 locks at this stage. Olivia Dean continues to press on as well and could make the top 10 as well. Also vaulting up is Tyler, The Creator, scoring just his 4th ever top 20 hit this week. Doja Cat arrives at #28 but is still making gains on Spotify currently. Could drop next week due to increased competition, but might not be as DOA as it looks. Also just in case there wasn't enough KPop Demon Hunters in here, TWICE are now in here twice as "Strategy" sneaks in. The always popular Rihanna album cut "Breakin' Dishes" shows up for the first time ever (already Platinum mind you), re-asserting the Reloaded edition of "Good Girl Gone Bad" as one of the most hit-laden albums ever, this is the 9th top 50 hit on that album now. It also presents an interesting situation for ARIA next week as it's one of the 8 songs that are old enough to be removed from the chart in this week's top 50. 5 of these are no-brainers I don't expect to last, the other two include "Pink Pony Club" and "Lose Control", songs that are too old but hadn't quite debuted 2 years ago (I still expect them to go). ARIA's initial clause allowed for a 10 week grace period for songs that make the top 30, so we shall see what they make of Rihanna's newly debuting entry.

KPop Demon Hunters is the #1 album for a 7th week. They fend off one of the biggest weeks of new arrives of the year, which doesn't mean much because it's only the top album they need to beat, but there's some definite aura farming when you see off new entries from #2 down to #6. The closest contender is Laufey, perhaps expected as her last album debuted in the top 10 and she's only gotten more popular since then. I now have some interesting trivia for you. Who do you think is the highest charting Icelandic artist in Australia? Jónsi & Emiliana Torrini have actually never made the top 50. KALEO top out in the top 30, while even Sigur Rós have never quite made the top 10. Australia was a particularly big market for Ásgeir a decade ago and he reached the top 10, and your obvious choice of Björk has just been tied by Laufey. The answer is of course Of Monsters and Men, whose debut album was such a hit that it actually climbed to #1 in early 2013. It might just be a matter of time for Laufey to eventually top the charts here, just ask Deftones. I was recently surprised to learn that their classic "White Pony" debuted as high as #2 in Australia, and they were on diminishing returns after that. It was a mighty twist then in 2016 when they scored a #1 album for the first time. The follow up to that album peaked at #3, and that's where they've landed yet again with their latest. If you want to talk about fun chart patterns though, look at Stray Kids, who now have three #2 albums and three #4 albums, with no other top 10 peaks. They've done this all in the space of 3 years. Speaking of artists who've gotten immensely popular in the last 3 years...actually I don't want to talk about Royel Otis. Find out why by reading my next blog post on Friday. They're not the only artist with dodgy vibes in their lyrics though, because sombr is arriving at #6 with an album thriving off streaming numbers, so it's probably the new entry this week that'll hold strongest next week. I'm out of links but it's okay because I made it to the end of the debut chain, now I can just mention that Lainey Wilson has come up trumps with her deluxe re-issue, improving on the #19 debut she had last year to make it to #8. John Fogerty has cranked out the '(John's Version)'s this week to enter in the top 10 with a bunch of songs you're likely very familiar with. Tyler, The Creator doesn't quite see the same slingshot as Lainey Wilson, but he does turn a top 20 album into a top 10 this week, after a much longer wait ("Cherry Bomb" originally debuted at #13). Tyler actually has 4 albums in the top 25 this week. Wolf Alice's last album got them into the top 10 for the first time, and they'd have probably done it again if they could just wait a week to put this one out. Following the legacy of the occasional Indian artist who gets a decent amount of traction in the antipodes, Karan Aujla gets his first ever entry this week. We've also got more re-issues, but this one's nowhere near a new peak because it was already huge on arrival, looking at the debut album from Perth boys Jebediah, perhaps the second most famous band named after minor Simpsons lore (sorry Hockey Dad), with their beloved debut album. If you want to get up to speed, "Leaving Home" and "Harpoon" are two stone cold classics in the much loved realm of '90s Australian alt-rock. Just sneaking into the top 40 is some kind of Bleak Squad. They are in fact a supergroup, comprised of Adalita (of Magic Dirt) fame, as well as members of The Bad Seeds, Dirty Three and Art of Fighting (not to be confused with Art of Sleeping), which is several generations of rock royalty. Lastly, we've got the return of Hands Like Houses' album from earlier this year. What a crazy week, and yet next week is gonna be even crazier (Sabrina Carpenter probably debuts at #1).

Intrigued by the new rules coming in, I wish the UK would do something similar, especially in the ultra stale albums chart.

Behold, your new standard bearings!

As of this week, ARIA have removed everything that is over 2 years old. Not just became a hit 2 years ago, everything. So goodbye, "Breakin' Dishes", "Lose Control" and "Pink Pony Club", while "The Door" is likely heading to an early grave in two weeks. There is a provisional rule that allows exceptions for anything that hasn't charted in 10 years and makes the top 30, though we're yet to really see the specifics of how it plays out. Tyler, The Creator's "Cherry Bomb" re-issue might be the litmus test, as it hangs around for a second week in the top 30. Perhaps fortunate for once that these anniversary releases are often late because the album did chart 10 and a half years ago. Olivia Rodrigo will likely confirm for us a specific 104 week limit next week, but it's also possible we see exceptions in the case of midweek releases, like how "Not Like Us" managed 17 weeks on the New Music Singles Chart, and maybe leap years could come into effect, never doubt automated systems if given the chance to do something silly.

On the surface, the biggest change comes with the album chart. Not only has there been an exodus of all the older releases, but a surprise bonus package is the apparent disappearance of all those compilations that were often appearing week on week with no clear attention, and sometimes dubious releases (looking at you, ABBA & Flo Rida). I do not believe that ARIA have actually removed Greatest Hits sets, but it appears they're updating their streaming rules for the second time. According to the new Code of Practice, streams only count to the original album for any track, so it's still possible for these albums to chart, but they'll likely have to do it on just sales mostly. This has likely partially affected Calvin Harris & Benson Boone whose albums I'd expect to have jumped back into the top 50 if they had all their streams counting. The 6th highest selling Australian album this week was a Greatest Hits set by The Bamboos, which is likely just outside the top 50, just on first week sales.

ARIA have not actually taken all of the old music out behind the shed, because we have been introduced to new On Replay charts for both the main charts, and the Australian charts. Technically we've had one of these for the Albums Chart for over a decade though it was previously called the Catalogue Albums Chart, the stats from that chart have carried over to this new one. These four charts are all top 50 charts, and I regret to inform you that they are subject to the same selective reporting that the ARIA Charts have always had. It's hard to be certain on all omissions, but I'm pretty confident that Radiohead's "Creep" and "Let Down" are both missing from this new chart, and the omissions on the Australian charts could be plentiful because we've never seen the chart this far down before. This also means a big revitalisation on all the component charts, though again I'm suspicious of potential omissions. For the record, there has been no specific mention of what will happen with Christmas music or End Of Year charts, although my interpretation of the Code of Practice suggests there won't be any hybrid of the two charts, and we're going to get the funny Billboard Year End experience for those songs that are getting ruled out in the middle of the year.

Anyway the biggest piece of news is the tragic death of my extra leading zero on the album chart posts, gone but not forgotten. It is also possible the Bubbling Under chart might never be used again, but I'm gonna wait out to see what happens once the K-Pop Demon Hunters songs all hit 4 months, and maybe there will be loads of Taylor Swift songs on the chart then, so it'll have a triumphant return.

--

Now let's talk about the chart itself.

"Golden" is #1 for a 6th week. I'm going to cautiously say that it's safe for next week too but I do this with no Spotify data to work with. Olivia Dean hits the top 10 but the big happening of the week is Sabrina Carpenter arriving in the top 50 with her entire album. This is a slight improvement on last year's effort when a couple tracks didn't quite make the cut, and again provisionally, I suspect the majority will stick around for the next week. In case you were wondering, there are approximately 8 songs missing via the new rules, so it's not really changing her chart fortunes this week, with the lowest being at #32. As I correctly predicted last week, "Tears" is the only new arrival in the top 10, while "Manchild" records its first climb ever in its chart run to return to the top 10 (2-2-2-3-7-13-15-17-17-18-19-20-7, if you were wondering). Sabrina Carpenter might be harshing the buzz on potential new entries getting sucked into the top 50 but to be fair, I think only "Dior" is close range of doing it, and I won't be mourning if it gets locked out. Actually the biggest disappointment for me is that I've spent the past several years observing the ins & outs of the ARIA Chart, waiting to see when we might finally have a top 50 chart with no 2010s singles left in it for the first time since that decade started. "All The Stars" was the last hold out, and I believe it would have fallen out on this very week, allowing me to make a mighty celebration that I'd been waiting years to do. What an underwhelming time to introduce these new rules solely on this basis.

Sabrina Carpenter scores her second #1 album. This could prove an interesting tussle on next week's album given the distribution of streaming points on these top two albums and a likely sales differential. If I had to guess, I'd think Sabrina gets it next week before KPop Demon Hunters overtakes again the week after, but it's too hard to tell. Last week we had a lot of top 10 debuts and I made a prediction that sombr would actually climb in week 2 because of the power of big single streams. I was correct, but I overlooked the possibility of the usually strong second weeks of Stray Kids, which also seems them to a new peak and ruins my observation of their peak patterns from last week. The first artist to really take advantage of the new rules is The Wolfe Brothers, who score their 5th top 10 album through this. The highest they've ever charted is #6, so they're very clutch about this. Hitting a new career high is Hayley Jensen, charting for the second time, but now at #14. Followers of Australian reality TV from decades ago like myself would be correct in identifying that it is indeed the Hayley Jensen from Season 2 of Australian Idol. Another beneficiary is The Hives, who score their highest charting album since 2002 with an album that is not a Greatest Hits despite what it might look like. Then, just sneaking in is Belinda Carlisle who charts for the first time since 1996!

I'd love the UK album chart to be like this cheeseblock @officialcharts please 🥺

Happy to see sombr achieving a Top 5 album!

"Golden" is #1 for a 7th week. We beat the UK to that particular play but otherwise we're following their lead because Olivia Dean has climbed up to #2. She'll have to do a whole lot more of that if she wants to get any higher. Sabrina Carpenter mostly sees varying declines though they're not very big and also "House Tour" manages to climb into the top 20. We've also got the first ever application of the new chart rules forcing a new song into the chart, as Lady Gaga sneaks into the top 50 with "The Dead Dance". This is the second time this year that Lady Gaga has debuted at #50, as "Abracadabra" did the same before climbing 38 places to its #12 peak. It's possible this one will climb also next week but I wouldn't count on it being that drastic. I'm writing this on September 16th, of course, and astute observers will remember that both "The Door" and "greedy" were released on September 15th, 2023 ("greedy" isn't in the top 50 right now but it might be next week). You would think that makes this their last week on the chart, but we're still learning how that works.

KPop Demon Hunters returns to the top of the album chart for an 8th week. I made a bad prediction but to be fair it was probably close. The reason I mentioned uncertainty around the new rules is because if you look at this week's chart, you'll see Olivia Rodrigo's "GUTS" in for a 105th week, either an oversight or a confirmation that this is our benchmark going forward. I can approve of this considering that 104 weeks isn't really 2 years, although ARIA have been operating under the belief that 4 months is somewhere between 16 and 17 weeks so it's a little inconsistent if you do the maths. I blame the Smarch weather. Anyway we have debuts and the highest one comes from John Butler. He's often seen with or without his Trio, where the inclusion is usually a significant boon on his chart positions even though he's usually the main guy behind it all. A 'Kevin Parker' album probably wouldn't debut at #1 if you catch my drift. Anyway this is a very funny application of tagging because if you look up the album on Spotify, you'll see 'John Butler, John Butler Trio' as the credited artist, an amusing concession to promotion. Track 1 on the album is called "Going Solo". It's clearly worked though because this is charting significantly higher than any other solo John Butler album in the past. Next up we've got G Flip who hit #1 with their last album, the one that very briefly held the record for most triple j Hottest 100 entries in a single year. Things have changed a lot in 25 years, and so now Slipknot do belong, do exist, and people do give a shit. That's to say that their self-titled album has scored a new peak thanks to the vinyl release, originally peaking at #32. Their last 4 albums have all gone to #1. Unlike his suits, David Byrne is also managing to fit in as he scores his highest ever solo album entry, though I guess the new rules are helping a little in both of these cases. They certainly are for Big Thief, who have matched the #19 peak of their previous album. I can't say the same for Rob Thomas, who's gone from 4 straight top 3 albums to one that's just happy to be here. You'll also see two returning King Gizzard albums this week. This is truly an iceberg meme moment because the band have put their entire catalogue up on Bandcamp under the Radiohead model. They probably wouldn't do much to the chart under the old rules because they're likely falling short, but I just want to highlight that the Australian On Replay Albums chart (which is a top 50) has 28 of their albums this week.

"Golden" is #1 for a 9th week. Next week they'll attempt to reach the Party Rock zone of double digits, but there's competition this time as "Man I Need" has made a big leap ahead on Spotify. Olivia Dean has just been announced to perform at the ARIA Awards in a couple of months, so we're building to something. "Golden" is always doing better than it appears though so it could be a close race. It's also the kind of self-sustaining profile boost that can be seen in the lower pieces as "Nice To Each Other" is still climbing to new peaks at the same time. The big arrival this week is from RAYE, scoring her first ever solo top 50 entry, which looks to climb a bunch next week. After hovering just below for quite a while, Kehlani also finally gets in with "Folded". I have to note because this is a relatively rare sight, but we've got an expected retirement for "The Door" by Teddy Swims. He's going to be in the country soon (unless he cancels) to promote the two big hits he both has and does not have right now. Maybe "Bad Dreams" might come back. To add some purpose to the Bubbling Under section, I'm now going to keep count of the weeks. I do think that the combination of KPop Demon Hunters aging and the arrival of many Taylor Swift songs could shift the scales.

KPop Demon Hunters gets a 9th week at #1 on the albums chart as well. Heading up the list of new arrivals is Ocean Alley, and we've got what we call fun chart stuff because for the third time in a row, they've debuted at #3. Cardi B debuts in the top 10 for the second time, though not quite as high as her debut. Nine Inch Nails' soundtrack defies that one Simpsons joke and they get a 6th top 10 album. Lola Young arrives just outside the top 10 with her debut, while I Prevail miss the top 10 for the first time after 3 consecutive top 10 debuts. Biffy Clyro have never had a top 10 album and just land around the middle. I don't know if they would've made it under the old conditions, so it just allows things to look more regular. The rest of the arrivals I don't think would've made it and I don't have any material for them. I'm too busy thinking about how I need to update my signature image as it's now outdated and I'm still a little jet lagged for the experience. 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
