“All hail the queen,” comments ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd. “On behalf of everyone at ARIA, and as a superfan, it is my absolute pleasure to congratulate Kylie for her fourth consecutive No. 1 album debut. It’s a thrill to see an ARIA Hall of Fame artist continue to dominate, reinvent and represent Australian music on such a global scale. We can’t wait to celebrate her success at this year’s awards.”
Across her 35-year recording career, Kylie has bagged 10 No. 1 singles, and collected 16 ARIA Awards.
She can add to that tally at the 2023 ARIA Awards this November, where’s she’s nominated for four categories – best solo artist, best pop release, best independent release and song of the year, all for “Padam Padam,” the first single lifted from Tension.
Back in 2011, Minogue was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, with then-prime minister Julia Gillard doing the honors.
Minogue’s 16th studio album, Tension has been clocking impressive numbers around the globe. In her adopted homeland, the U.K., the album was outselling the rest of the top 20 at the midweek stage, and Tension placed at No. 3 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut U.K. Chart. The set also this week cracked the top 5 of the DSP’s Top Albums Debut USA and Top Albums Debut Global Chart.
Kylie’s Tension isn’t the only new arrival on the ARIA Chart, published Sept. 29. Homegrown indie rock act Holy Holy debuts at No. 4 with Cellophane (Wonderlick/Sony), the group’s fifth studio album and third top 10. That’s an equal career high for Holy Holy, drawing level with Hello My Beautiful World, which hit No. 4 in 2021.
Close behind is Doja Cat with Scarlet (RCA/Sony), her fourth studio album. It’s new at No. 5 for the U.S. star’s second top 10 album in Australia, after 2021’s Planet Her peaked at No. 2.
Doja Cat continues to paint the ARIA Singles Chart red; her Scarlet hit “Paint The Town Red” enters a sixth consecutive week at the No. 1.
Finally, South African-born, U.K.-based artist Kenya Grace continues to make her mark on the national singles survey with “Strangers” (Warner). Grace’s breakthrough drum ‘n bass-fueled single, and first through a major label, leaps 6-2 for a new peak position.
The late Tina Turner will be celebrated on the upcoming retrospective compilation, Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll, due out on Nov. 24 via Rhino Records. The 55-song set showcases Turner’s solo-billed singles from 1975 through 2020, including such Billboard Hot 100-charting hits as “What’s Love Got To Do With It” (a No. 1 from 1984), “The Best” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome).” The Billboard chart-topping artist died on May 24 at age 83.

Included on the collection is a reworked version of Turner’s “Something Beautiful Remains,” retitled to “Something Beautiful.” It was remixed by Turner’s longtime collaborator Terry Britten, who co-wrote and produced the original version of the song, released in 1996.
See the full tracklist below.
The Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll collection will be released via streaming services and as a five-vinyl LP box, a three-CD package, and a digital download album. An abbreviated 12-song version of the collection will simultaneously be issued on a single vinyl LP. All iterations of the album will include a foreword written by Bryan Adams. Turner and Adams scored a top 20-charting Hot 100 duet with “It’s Only Love,” released in 1985.

Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll also helps salute the 50th anniversary of the launch of Turner’s solo career in 1974 with her first solo album, Tina Turns the Country On!, which was released while she was still part of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. While that album missed Billboard’s charts and didn’t launch any singles, the following year saw Turner secure her first solo chart hits. The Acid Queen album reached No. 155 on the Billboard 200 in 1975 and No. 39 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (then-named Soul LPs) rankings, and launched her first solo-billed hit song on Billboard’s charts: a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.” The single reached No. 61 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (then-named Hot Soul Singles).
Included on Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll are all of Turner’s post-Ike & Tina Turner Revue hits on the Hot 100 – 17 in total from 1984 through 1996. In addition, non-Hot 100 hits that charted on other key Billboard charts are represented, including “Afterglow,” “Cose Della Vita” (with Eros Ramazzotti), “Goldeneye,” “In Your Wildest Dreams” (featuring Barry White), “Look Me in the Heart,” “On Silent Wings,” “Open Arms,” “Tearing Us Apart” (with Eric Clapton), the 2020 remix of “What’s Love Got To Do With It” (with Kygo) and “When the Heartache Is Over.”

On his fast-track to the top, the Kid LAROI cut tracks with Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Lil Durk and his late bestie Juice WRLD. His latest collaboration sees the Australian singer and rapper step out with McDonald’s.

Through a new partnership unveiled this week, LAROI launches the McCrispy chicken burger across the fast-food chain’s Australian outlets.
It’s the second time flipping McDonald’s burgers for Laroi, who stars in a new nationwide campaign, which includes “The Next Big Thing” TVCs and behind-the-scenes social clips. Last year, the Kid and Macca’s teamed up for Australia’s first local “Famous Order” campaign.
“I love a good chicken burger and am a huge Macca’s fan,” he comments in a statement, “so when I found out McDonald’s was launching its best chicken burger yet, I had to get involved.”
Though based in Los Angeles, the 20-year-old LAROI (real name Charlton Howard) is one of Australia’s favorite homegrown artists.
As a teen, LAROI led the Billboard 200 with F*ck Love, and ruled the Billboard Hot 100 with “Stay,” his global hit with Bieber. The Sydney-raised artist also hit No. 1 on the singles and albums charts in his homeland, smashing records along the way.
He returned to Australia in May and June 2022 for the End of the World Tour, which stopped at arenas and outdoor spaces across the country. And he can add to his growing collection of industry honors at the 2023 ARIA Awards this November, where he nabs nominations for best solo artist and song of the year for “Love Again” (Columbia/Sony Music).
LAROI gives a push to the McCrispy, which is now installed in the restaurant’s permanent menu next to the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Cheeseburger and Fillet-O-Fish.
According to reps, the burger, filled with 100% Aussie RSPCA-approved crispy chicken breast, shredded iceberg and cos lettuce, tomato, Aussie Jack cheese and a new signature sauce, served in a soft glazed bun, has already “performed exceptionally” across other markets including the U.S., U.K., Sweden, France and Spain.
