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).
Oasis are reuniting in 2025 for a tour that promises to make dreams come true for hordes of fans around the globe.
If you lived in the U.K. in the 1990s, a time when rave culture collided with indie and Britpop, Oasis was a force to be reckoned with. Record and ticket sales, newspaper column inches, Oasis hogged all of it.
When Noel and Liam Gallagher, the combative Manchester siblings, called time on their band in 2009, they walked away with an impeccable chart record.

All seven of Oasis’ studio albums went to No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, from their 1994 debut Definitely Maybe through to 2005’s Don’t Believe The Truth. A year after the split, in 2010, the compilation Time Flies – 1994-2009 hit the summit, giving Oasis eight leaders.

The manner in which the group dominated the national tally is worth exploring.
[embedded content]
Definitely Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album in British history – and has passed 5 million sales in the U.K., where it’s 17-times platinum certified, according to the Official Charts Company.
Their sophomore effort from 1995, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, is the fifth best-selling album of all time in the U.K.
And their third record, 1997’s Be Here Now, was a weapon. To this day, it’s the fastest-selling album of all time, shifting 696,000 copies in just three days of its first chart week.
It’s a similar tale on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, on which Oasis landed eight No. 1s.
“Wonderwall,” their signature song, is not one of them. The most-streamed song in Oasis’ catalog in the U.K., with 397,100,000 plays, according to the OCC, “Wonderwall” peaked at No. 2 on the weekly chart back in 1995.
That domination extended to awards ceremonies, as Oasis snagged six BRIT Awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to British Music, two Ivor Novellos, and 17 NME Awards.
The group enjoyed success around the globe, including Australia, where “Wonderwall” came in at No. 1 on triple j’s Hottest 100 songs of the past 20 years, which counted down in 2013, and was voted No. 1 on the “Hottest 100” for 1995.
“Wonderwall” spent 11 consecutive weeks in the ARIA Top 10, and is certified 12-times platinum in these parts, ARIA reports.
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is certified eight-times platinum in Australia, having clocked up four consecutive weeks at No. 1 and 24 consecutive weeks in the top 10.Be Here Now is platinum certified, and one of the band’s six top 10 efforts on the ARIA Chart.
Oasis’s blockbuster success didn’t translate in the United States. Just three Oasis songs impacted the Billboard Hot 100, including a single top 10 for “Wonderwall” (peaking at No. 8 in 1996).
On the Billboard 200 albums chart, 11 Oasis titles have made their mark, including three top 10s, with a No. 2 best for Be Here Now in 1997.
Oasis will make their long-overdue comeback in 2025, when the band performs a run of concerts in the U.K. and Ireland, their first dates there in 16 years.
The OASIS LIVE ’25 world tour will stretch out. “Plans are underway for OASIS LIVE ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year,” reads a statement, issued Tuesday morning.
The news has lit the fuse with Oasis’ long-suffering fans in the U.K., proof of which can be seen on the midweek albums chart.
Oasis will “no doubt see a huge surge in sales this week,” according to the charts compiler, as three records get set to blast into the top 40: Time Flies… (1994-2009) (at No. 14), (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (at No. 26) and Definitely Maybe (No. 31), which celebrates its 30th anniversary this week.

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.
