Welcome to This Week In Pop.
This week, Australian country star Kasey Chambers lands her 10th top 10 album, with 'Backbone' debuting at #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart this week. Inspired by material from her new book 'Just Don’t Be A Dickhead', it’s her 13th studio album.
Sabrina Carpenter’s 'Short n’ Sweet' holds at #1 for the sixth non-consecutive week, breaking it out of a tie with Taylor Swift’s 'The Tortured Poets Department' and Billie Eilish’s 'Hit Me Hard And Soft' for the album with the most weeks on top this year.
On the Singles Chart, 'Taste' reigns supreme for the seventh straight week, making it 2024’s longest-running #1 song. It lifts her total number of weeks this year across three singles to 10.
Coldplay are new at #2 with 'Moon Music'. It’s the UK band’s 10th studio album, all of which have reached #1 or #2 here.
