Welcome to This Week In Pop.
Louis Tomlinson’s 'Faith In The Future' beats out Bruce Springsteen’s 'Only The Strong Survive' on this week’s ARIA Albums Chart, while home-grown favourites and five-time nominees at this year’s ARIA Awards, King Stingray, make a welcome return to the top 10.
The second solo album from the former One Direction member, 'Faith In The Future' bags a #2 debut, an ARIA peak after his first album, 'Walls', reached #6 in 2020. The other major debut of the week, Bruce Springsteen’s 21st album 'Only The Strong Survive', reaches #4. The Boss has previously had five ARIA #1 albums.
Yolŋu indie-rockers King Stingray break into the top 10 albums at #6 with last month’s eponymous album 'King Stingray'.
Taylor Swift continues her hold on the #1 in the Singles Chart for a fourth week with 'Anti-Hero', while 'Australian Idol' judge-to-be Meghan Trainor’s 'Made You Look' reaches a new chart peak at #7.
