Welcome to This Week In Pop.
This week, Cub Sport claim the top spot on the Albums Chart.
Brisbane four-piece Cub Sport have claimed a #1 debut on this week’s ARIA Albums Chart with their fifth studio album, 'Jesus At The Gay Bar', while Miley Cyrus’ reign at the top of the Singles Chart has ended.
Coming in at #2 on the Albums Chart is 'HOPE' by Michigan-born, singer-songwriter and producer NF. Real name Nathan John Feuerstein, 'HOPE' is NF’s fifth studio album and his second in the top 50 after 'The Search' peaked at #3 in 2019. His mixtape 'Clouds' did, however, make it to #5 in 2021.
The 20th anniversary re-issue of Linkin Park’s second album, 'Meteora', scrapes into the top 10 at #8, including previously unreleased material featuring vocals from the late Chester Bennington. The original version of 'Meteora' peaked at #2 in 2003 and has been certified four times platinum.
The Singles Chart has its first new #1 in 13 weeks as 'Last Night' by Morgan Wallen ends Miley Cyrus’ 12-week reign with 'Flowers'. It is the American country uber-star’s first chart-topper in Australia, after 'You Proof' peaked at #20 last year. Wallen’s recent #1 album, 'One Day At A Time', moves up one place to #3 on the Albums Chart.
