Welcome to This Week In Pop.


This week, Miley Cyrus swings her first #1 single, and breakout UK star RAYE reaches the top three.

Since releasing her first single as Hannah Montana in 2006, Miley Cyrus has secured her first #1 single on the ARIA Charts this week with the debut of 'Flowers'. Taylor Swift continues to reign on the Albums Chart for an 11th non-consecutive week after 'Midnights' became her longest-running #1 album in Australia last week.

RAYE featuring 070 Shake climbs one more spot with 'Escapism.' to a new high of #3.

Back on the Albums Chart, after achieving her first Australian #1 single last week with 'Kill Bill', SZA’s SOS enjoys a third week at #2 on the Albums Chart.
