Welcome to This Week In Pop.
This week, the soundtrack to Netflix’s 'KPop Demon Hunters' returns to #1 for its ninth non-consecutive week on top of the ARIA Albums Chart, while Ocean Alley score their third consecutive #3.
'KPop Demon Hunters' now matches the nine-week run at #1 recorded by the 'Romeo & Juliet' soundtrack in 1997. Since the ARIA charts started in 1983, only four soundtracks have spent more weeks at #1: the Australian cast recording of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' ruled for 10 weeks in 1992 and 'Titanic' (1998), 'Moulin Rouge' (2001) and 'A Star Is Born' (2018) were on top for 11 weeks each.
Sydney’s Ocean Alley steps onto the Albums Chart at #3 with their fifth studio album, 'Love Balloon'.
Cardi B returns with her second studio album, 'Am I The Drama?', new at #8. Collaborators on the album include Selena Gomez, Kehlani, Tyla, Summer Walker and Janet Jackson. Her debut, 'Invasion Of Privacy', got to #5 in 2018.
Nine Inch Nails land at #10 with the soundtrack to 'TRON: Ares'. It’s the American rock band’s sixth top 10 album here, following 'The Fragile' (#2 in 1999), 'With Teeth' (#10 in 2005), 'Year Zero' (#5 in 2007), 'Hesitation Marks' (#3 in 2013) and 'Bad Witch' (#9 in 2018).
'KPop Demon Hunters'’ lead track 'Golden' holds at #1 on the Singles Chart also for the ninth week in a row.
