Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet (via Island/Universal) debuts at the summit of the ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, Aug. 30, for her first leader in the land Down Under.

Short n’ Sweet is her sixth album, and first to crack the top 10. Previously, her highest-charting LP was Emails I Can’t Send, which peaked at No. 27 in 2022.

With that hot start, Carpenter breaks a four-week unbroken stand at the summit by Australian acts (Lime Cordiale, Tones & I, Amy Shark and Cold Chisel).

Sabrina’s domination doesn’t end there. Her latest single, “Taste,” debuts at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart, ahead of “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” respectively, for a rare trifecta. All three tracks have now logged time at the chart summit.

According to ARIA, Carpenter is the first artist to swamp the top three since April 2024, when bestie and touring partner Taylor Swift did so. On that occasion, TayTay owned the entire top 10 with tracks from The Tortured Poets Department, an historic feat. Carpenter lands another seven tracks in the top 50, and becomes the first act to secure three ARIA No. 1s in the same calendar year, since Drake did it in 2018.

Coming in at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart is Aussie indie act Teenage Dads’ Majordomo (Chugg/MGM), their second album, while Sydney pop punk outfit Stand Atlantic completes an all-new top three Was Here (Hopeless Records/RKT), new at No. 3. Both are career best chart positions.

Close behind is Irish alternative rock outfit Fontaines D.C. with their fourth album Romance (XL/Inertia), new at No. 6. That’s a serious uplift from the Dubliners’ 2020 effort A Hero’s Death, which peaked at No. 26, and Skinty Fa, which topped out at No. 24 in 2022.

Finally, Travis Scott lassos a top 10 spot with Days Before Rodeo (Epic/Sony), new at No. 9. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Houston, TX rapper reissues his 2014 mixtape with additional material, across new formats, including streaming platforms for the first time. The original mixtape didn’t impact the ARIA Chart, though Scott has three ARIA top 10 albums to his name, including No. 1s for Astroworld (from 2018) and Utopia (2023).

Cold Chisel carves out another leader on Australia’s albums chart, as the homegrown rock legends blast to No. 1 with 50 Years – The Best (via Cold Chisel/Universal Music Australia).

The career retrospective is Chisel’s sixth chart-topper and 18th top 10 appearance on the albums tally.

Formed in Adelaide, South Australia back in 1973, Chisel is the prototype Aussie rock band, both a household name and a national treasure. The band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1993, and frontman Jimmy Barnes was inducted as a solo artist in 2005.

With this latest chart champ, Barnes extends his lead as the artist with the all-time collection of ARIA No. 1s at 21, a tally that includes 15 solo best-sellers.

Trending on Billboard

The result is a welcome tonic for Barnes, who is recovering following another trip to the operating theater, and a cause for celebration for the Australian music industry. 50 Years – The Best is the fourth consecutive No. 1 on the ARIA Chart by an Australian act, following new releases from Lime Cordiale, Tones & I, and Amy Shark.

The latest ARIA chart, published Friday, Aug, 23, marks the longest run for local acts at No. 1 since late 2020, when Midnight Oil, Kylie Minogue and AC/DC reigned for a combined six weeks, ARIA notes.

You’d have to go back almost a decade, to 2015, for the last time when four or more different Aussie acts consecutively ruled the chart. On that occasion, Parkway Drive, triple j Like A Version 11, Boy & Bear, Hillsong and 5 Seconds Of Summer did so, for a five-week stretch.

“It’s a big day for chart numbers,” comments ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd. “Huge congratulations to Cold Chisel for a phenomenal sixth No. 1 and 18th top 10 album. It’s an extremely exclusive club of artists who can rival the band’s storied legacy and impact on Australian music over 50 years. Congratulations again to the band, their team and everyone who has contributed to such a triumph.”

Chisel will dish out the hits on a 50th anniversary national tour later in the year, The Big Five-0, which sold over 200,000 tickets sold in a matter of hours, reps say.

Coming in at No. 2 is Post Malone with his first collaboration-stacked country album, F-1 Trillion (Universal).

It’s Posty’s seventh top 10 in Australia, after Stoney (No. 5 in 2016), Beerbongs & Bentleys (No. 1 in 2018), Hollywood’s Bleeding (No. 1 in 2019), Twelve Carat Toothache (No. 2 in 2022), Austin (No. 2 in 2022) and The Diamond Collection (No. 3 in 2023).

Completing the top three is Billie Eilish’s former leader Hit Me Hard Hit Me Soft (Interscope/Universal), down 2-3.

Also new to the chart is Falling In Reverse with U.S. rock band’s fifth studio album Popular Monster (Epitaph Records/RKT). It arrives at No. 8, their career equal-best chart position (Just Like You also peaked at No. 8 in 2015).

Meanwhile, Eilish’s hit “Birds Of A Feather” holds at No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, ahead of Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (unchanged at No. 2 via Empire) and Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help” (Universal), up 5-3.

Finally, the top new release on the ARIA Singles Chart — indeed, the only new release in the top 50 — belongs to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, as their duet “Die With A Smile” debuts at No. 10.

Amy Shark makes it three successive No. 1s in Australia with Sunday Sadness (Sony).
The Gold Coast-raised singer and songwriter cruises to the summit of the ARIA Chart, published Friday, Aug. 16 with Sunday Sadness, her fourth studio effort.

Her debut 2012 album, It’s A Happy City, released under the name Amy Cushway, didn’t chart, notes ARIA. As Amy Shark, she roared to No. 1 for one week in 2018 with Love Monster, and led the survey in 2021 for two weeks with Cry Forever.

“Words cannot explain how much this No. 1 means to me,” she comments. “Sunday Sadness has been three years in the making and I’m so glad you all love it as much as I do. Today is a day I’ll never forget”.

Sunday Sadness completes a trilogy of No. 1s for homegrown acts on the national chart (after recordings by Lime Cordiale and Tones & I), burying a 10-month dry spell.

Also, it’s one of four Australian-made albums to debut in the top 20, for Australian music’s “most successful week of 2024,” ARIA claims.

“Huge congratulations to Amy, her team, and her incredibly devoted fans on a third No. 1 album and a career that continues to reach new heights,” comments ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd.

“Amy at the top of the chart marks three weeks of Aussies at No. 1, on top of that, four homegrown debuts in the top 15 is an unbelievable result that our whole industry should be proud of. What a week for Ausmusic.”

Those homegrown hits include Grinspoon’s eighth studio album, Whatever, Whatever (Universal), new at No. 3; King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s 26th studio album Flight b741 (VMG/UMA), new at No. 8; and First Nations hip-hop collective 3%, new at No. 12.

Meanwhile, Filipino-British singer and songwriter Beabadoobee lands her first top 10 in Australia with This Is How Tomorrow Moves (Dirty Hit/Universal), new at No. 6. That bests the No. 19 peak for her 2022 release Beatopia. Finally, DICE rolls to No. 27 with Midnight Zoo (VMG/UMA), the Perth, Australia quartet’s debut album.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Billie Eilish scoops her third solo No. 1 as “Birds Of A Feather” flaps its wings, up 2-1. Eilish replaces herself on top, as her guest appearance on Charli XCX’s “Guess” dips 1-3. Earlier, Eilish reigned over the chart for two weeks in 2019 with “Bad Guy” and for three weeks with 2023’s “What Was I Made For?” Eilish’s third and latest studio LP, Hit Me Hard And Soft (Interscope/Universal), holds at No. 2.

Finally, as Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine slices up the global box-office, one of the songs from its soundtrack powers into the top 40: NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” (Jive/Sony). Released in 2000, the song originally spent five weeks at No. 1. Thanks to its sync to the bloody opening scene of the superhero smash, “Bye Bye Bye” returns to the chart at No. 20.

Beautifully Ordinary is Tones’ second album, and the followup to Welcome To The Madhouse, which also debut at No. 1 in 2021. The one-time busker’s debut EP The Kids Are Coming peaked at No. 3 in 2019. Though it didn’t climb the chart mountain, The Kids Are Coming did house “Dance Monkey,” Tones’ breakthrough hit which reigned over the charts in more than 30 countries, including a record, 24-week stint atop the ARIA Chart.

Tones owns the second consecutive ARIA No. 1 by an Australian act, following Lime Cordiale’s drought-breaking leader last week with Enough Of The Sweet Talk.

Prior to disbanding in the 2010, Powderfinger landed six ARIA No. 1 albums, all consecutive, while Something For Kate bagged two leaders, according to ARIA.

It’s winter in Australia, though Charli XCX’s Brat summer is sweeping through the ARIA Charts. Following the release of a remix featuring Billie Eilish, Brat album track “Guess” debuts at No. 1 on the singles tally, for her first solo leader.

“Guess” is Charli’s fifth top 10 hit in Australia, after “I Love It” (with Icona Pop) in 2012 and “Fancy” (with Iggy Azalea), “Bloom Clap” and “Break The Rules” in 2014. Charli also takes a bite out of the chart with “Apple” at No. 18, and “360” moves 27-24.
