Welcome to This Week In Pop.
The 1975’s 'Being Funny In A Foreign Language' debuts at the top of the Albums Chart this week, while Sam Smith and Kim Petras hold #1 on the Singles Chart for a fourth consecutive week.
'Being Funny In A Foreign Language', the fifth studio album from The 1975, follows two previous #1 albums for The 1975: 'Notes On A Conditional Form' and 'I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it'. The success of the album, produced with Jack Antonoff of Taylor Swift and Lorde fame, comes off the back of the band’s 2023 Australian tour announced earlier in the month.
Also making debuts in the top 10 this week are the Red Hot Chili Peppers at #2 with their second album of 2022, the Rick Rubin-produced 'Return Of The Dream Canteen'; 2018 triple J Hottest 100 winners Ocean Alley at #3 with 'Low Altitude Living'; Lil Baby with 'It’s Only Me' at #7 and Alter Bridge with 'Pawns & Kings' at #9.
