Welcome to This Week In Pop.
This week, Olivia Dean’s grip on the #1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart continues as 'The Art Of Loving' holds in the summit for the seventh non-consecutive week. It’s the longest running #1 album by an English female artist since Adele’s '30' also spent seven weeks at the chart summit in 2021-22.
The Kid LAROI lands at #2 with 'Before I Forget'. The winner of four ARIA Awards including Song of the Year last year for 'Girls', he reached #1 in 2021 with 'F... Love' and #3 in 2023 with 'The First Time'.
American country star Zach Bryan’s 'With Heaven On Top' debuts at #4. It’s his sixth studio album. His 2023 album 'Zach Bryan' reached #2 and 'The Great American Bar Scene' peaked at #3 in 2024.
On the Singles Chart, Olivia Dean makes it nine straight weeks at #1 with 'Man I Need'. It’s the longest running #1 by a solo female artist since Miley Cyrus’ 'Flowers' spent 12 weeks on top in early 2023.
Djo’s 'End Of Beginning' returns to the #3 peak it reached in 2024. Its revival has been driven by the finale of 'Stranger Things', although the song doesn’t feature in the episode. Djo is the stage name of Joe Keery, who played Steve Harrington in the series.
