Welcome to This Week In Pop.


This week, it’s an all-female top three on the ARIA Albums Chart, while a veteran rock band lands its 14th top 10 album in a row.

Billie Eilish’s 'Hit Me Hard And Soft' holds the top spot for a third non-consecutive week, while Taylor Swift’s former chart-topper – 'The Tortured Poets Department' – holds at #2.

The highest debut of the week goes to English singer-songwriter Charli XCX, who is new at #3 with 'BRAT'. It’s her sixth studio album and fifth to chart here. She peaked at #7 in 2019 with 'Charli' and hit the summit for one week in 2022 with 'Crash'.


Legendary US rock band Bon Jovi lands at #4 with their 16th studio album, 'Forever'. The New Jersey natives’ first two albums scraped into the top 40 but since then, they have scored 14 top 10 albums in a row.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Eminem’s new track 'Houdini' is #1 for the second week in a row.
