Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

After a brief hiatus, This Week In Pop is back to keep you up to speed on the world of pop! Welcome, once again, to This Week In Pop.


This week is the second week on top of the ARIA Albums Chart for Beyonce’s 'Cowboy Carter', while Missy Higgins makes a welcome return to the top 10 with the 20th anniversary edition of 'The Sound Of White'.

Originally released in 2004, 'The Sound Of White' hit #1 and stayed there for seven non-consecutive weeks, fuelled in part by the success of the lead single 'Scar'. This week it returns to #6.


American rapper J.Cole is new at #2 with 'Might Delete Later'. It’s his first visit to the Albums Chart since 2021, when 'The Off-Season' peaked at #3. His 2018 album 'KOD' reached #1 here.

It’s six weeks at #1 for Benson Boone’s 'Beautiful Things'. Irish singer Hozier’s 'Too Sweet' jumps from #8 to #2, matching the peak of his first hit, 'Take Me To Church', in 2013.
