Welcome to This Week In Pop.
This week, Paramore powers to the top and Miley nabs five weeks at #1.
American rock band Paramore take out the top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart this week with 'This Is Why', while Miley Cyrus’ grip on the #1 singles spot with 'Flowers' shows no sign of wilting.
Pushing aside Taylor Swift’s 'Midnights', 'This Is Why' is Paramore’s first album since 'After Laughter' in 2017, which peaked at #3. They have scored two #1 albums in Australia: 'Brand New Eyes' in 2009 and 'Paramore' in 2013.
Miley’s reign at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart could be under threat, as PinkPantheress’ 'Boy’s A Liar' flies to #3 from #25 last week. It’s the English singer, songwriter and record producer’s first hit in Australia. Also stepping in the top 10 for the first time are Miguel’s 'Sure Thing' at #7 (it originally peaked at #11 in 2011) and Coi Leray’s 'Players' at #8. It’s Coi’s first hit single here and Miguel’s second top 10, following his 2013 teaming with Mariah Carey on 'Beautiful', which topped out at #6.
