Welcome to This Week In Pop.
This week, Sabrina Carpenter’s 'Man’s Best Friend' roars onto the albums chart at #1, ending the seven-week run of the 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack, while The Wolfe Brothers return with their latest top 10 album.
'Man’s Best Friend' is Sabrina’s seventh studio album and the follow up to 'Short N’ Sweet', which has spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at #1 over the past year. 'Short N’ Sweet' bounces back up the chart, from #12 to #6.
The lead single from the new album, 'Manchild', reached #2 in June and bounces back from #20 to #7 this week. New track 'Tears' debuts at #3.
Laufey’s 'A Matter Of Time' steps onto the chart in the #2 spot. It’s the Icelandic singer’s third album and second chart appearance: she reached #6 in 2023 with 'Bewitched'. Following closely behind is Deftones’ 10th studio album, 'Private Music', which debuts at #3.
The Wolfe Brothers land at #9 with 'Australian Made'. It’s the seventh studio album from Tom and Nick Wolfe and their fifth straight top 10 album.
Keli Holiday – the alter-ego of Peking Duk’s Adam Hyde – takes the #1 spot on the Australian music singles chart with 'Dancing2'. It’s the first track from his yet-to-be-titled second full-length album.
On the ARIA Singles Chart, 'Golden' from the 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack extends its reign at #1 to six weeks in a row. It’s now tied with Psy’s 2012 hit 'Gangnam Style' as the longest running #1 ever by a Korean artist.
English singer-songwriter Olivia Dean lands in the top 10 for the first time, as 'Man I Need' rises from #12 to #6.
