This Week In Pop – 5 October 2022

5 Seconds Of Summer
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

Welcome to This Week In Pop.


It’s a third Australian act in as many weeks debuting at the top of ARIA Albums Chart this week, as 5 Seconds of Summer score #1 with '5SOS5'.

All five of the indie-rock outfit’s studio albums have topped the Albums Chart. The band said: “Thank you ARIA, if you’ve been following the band for the past decade, we love you. Thank you for five #1 albums, we did it!”

Robbie Williams moves up to #2 on the Albums Chart from #19 last week with 'XXV', following his performance in the AFL Grand Final last weekend.

Sam Smith debuts at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart with 'Unholy', their duet with German-born, US-based pop sensation Kim Petras. It is the English superstar’s second #1 here, following 'Too Good At Goodbyes' in 2017, and their first top 10 hit since 'How Do You Sleep' in 2019.
