Welcome to This Week In Pop.


British pop superstar Harry Styles has roared back to the top of the charts this week, with 'As It Was' returning to the #1 spot on the ARIA Singles Chart and 'Harry’s House' reclaiming #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

The lead single from 'Harry’s House' has now been #1 for 7 non-consecutive weeks, while the album has been on top for 6 of its 13 charting weeks.

American hip-hop queen Nicki Minaj scores the highest debuting single of the week, with 'Super Freaky Girl' arriving at #4. The single, from her upcoming fifth studio album, samples the late Rick James’ 1981 hit 'Super Freak' and is her first top 10 single since 'Bed Of Lies' in 2014.
