6SOS?

5 Seconds of Summer are back with their new album, Everyone’s A Star!, which charges onto the chart at #1 and makes them the proud owners of a massive chart record. 

The winners of six ARIA Awards, 5SOS are the first act in the history of the ARIA charts to reach #1 with their first six studio albums: 5 Seconds of Summer in 2014, Sounds Good Feels Good in 2015, Youngblood in 2018, Calm in 2020, 5SOS5 in 2022 and now Everyone’s A Star!. Their live album, LiveSOS, got to #7 in 2014. 

The 40th anniversary edition of Jimmy Barnes’ For The Working Class Man lands at #2 on the main ARIA Albums Chart, #1 on the Vinyl Chart and #1 on the On Replay chart. The original album spent seven weeks at #1 in late 1985 and early 1986. It contained five original tracks and seven remixed tracks from his debut solo album Bodyswerve.

Barnesy has had more #1 albums than any other artist on the ARIA chart. He has reached the penthouse 16 times as a solo act, plus another six times with Cold Chisel. His first solo #1 album was Bodyswerve in October 1984; his most recent was Defiant in June this year. He has won six ARIA Awards as a solo artist and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2005 (Cold Chisel were inducted in 1993). 

This week’s ARIA Hall of Fame inductees You Am I are new at #15 with The Dollop & The Wallop: The Best Of. It’s their 13th top 20 album, including the chart-toppers Hi Fi Way in 1995, Hourly, Daily in 1996 and #4 Record in 1998. Their previous greatest hits album, The Cream & The Crock – The Best of You Am I, got to #12 in 2003.

In the week she performed at the ARIA Awards, English singer Olivia Dean lands her first #1 here as Man I Need steps up from #2. She is the second female artist to reach #1 this year with their first charted single: Lola Young topped the ARIA Singles Chart in February with Messy.
