Welcome to This Week In Pop.


This week, it’s a double win for American country music superstar Morgan Wallen, as he takes the #1 spot on both the ARIA Albums and Singles Charts, while everyone’s favourite blue heeler pup Bluey roars onto the Albums Chart.

With 'Last Night' holding at #1 on the singles chart for the third straight week and 'One Thing At A Time' reclaiming the title of the #1 album (for a second, non-consecutive week), Wallen becomes the first male American country singer to pull off the chart double here in more than three decades. The last time was in October 1992, when Miley’s dad – Billy Ray Cyrus – had the #1 single with 'Achy Breaky Heart' and the #1 album with 'Some Gave All'.

Bluey storms back onto the ARIA Albums Chart with 'Dance Mode!' arriving at #7. BTS member Suga debuts at #4 with D-DAY, under his other stage name, Agust D.
