HUNTR/X don’t quit

After three weeks on the ARIA Albums Chart, the soundtrack to Netflix’s hit KPop Demon Hunters takes the #1 spot this week, while Aussie punk rockers FANGZ land in the top 10 with Shui. 

KPop Demon Hunters marks the first soundtrack from an animated movie to reach the top in more than eight years – Trolls spent three weeks at #1 in early 2017 – and the first soundtrack to hit #1 since 2023, when Barbie The Album spent two weeks at the chart’s zenith.  

Multiple tracks from KPop Demon Hunters race up the Singles Chart top 50 this week, with Golden jumping from #8 to #2, Your Idol from #12 to #8, How It’s Done from #21 to #11, Soda Pop from #27 to #12, What It Sounds Like from #25 to #16 and Free from #33 to #20. 

Sydney-based five-piece, FANGZ, mark a #8 debut for their first full-length album Shui. Performing since 2019, the band are currently four stops into a 10-show national tour, playing Hamilton Station in Newcastle tonight. 

Oasis’ UK concerts spark new chart action here. The band’s greatest hits compilation, Time Flies… 1994-2009, re-enters at #50 and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? returns just outside the top 50. Time Flies was released in 2010 and has climbed as high as #5. (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? spent five weeks at #1 in early 1996. 

Elsewhere on the Singles Chart, Alex Warren’s Ordinary continues to hold at #1 for the 16th straight week. It’s topped the charts in more than 25 countries, including the US and the UK. An extended version of his album You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) arrives next week. The original album peaked at #15 earlier this year and is at #23 this week.
