LAROI lands a #2 debut

Olivia Dean’s grip on the #1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart continues as The Art Of Loving holds in the summit for the seventh non-consecutive week. It’s the longest running #1 album by an English female artist since Adele’s 30 also spent seven weeks at the chart summit in 2021-22. 

The Kid LAROI lands at #2 with Before I Forget. The winner of four ARIA Awards including Song of the Year last year for Girls, he reached #1 in 2021 with Fuck Love and #3 in 2023 with The First Time. Before I Forget also holds the #1 spot in the Australian Albums Chart. 

American country star Zach Bryan’s With Heaven On Top debuts at #4. It’s his sixth studio album. His 2023 album Zach Bryan reached #2 and The Great American Bar Scene peaked at #3 in 2024.  

Yungblud’s Australian tour sends Idols flying back up the chart from #69 to #12. It peaked at #4 last year.

On the Singles Chart, Olivia Dean makes it nine straight weeks at #1 with Man I Need. It’s the longest running #1 by a solo female artist since Miley Cyrus’ Flowers spent 12 weeks on top in early 2023. 

Djo’s End Of Beginning returns to the #3 peak it reached in 2024. Its revival has been driven by the finale of Stranger Things, although the song doesn’t feature in the episode. Djo is the stage name of Joe Keery, who played Steve Harrington in the series. The song holds at #1 on the ARIA On Replay Singles Chart.

Raindance by Dave and Tems hits a new peak in its second week on the charts, up from #18 to #10, and Bruno Mars debuts at #11 with I Just Might. 

I Just Might is the first single from The Romantic, which lands on 27 February and will be his first solo studio album since 24K Magic in 2016. Bruno has now racked up 22 top 20 hits here, including four chart-toppers: Just The Way You Are (2010), Grenade (2010), Uptown Funk with Mark Ronson (2014-15) and APT. with Rosè (2024-25).

Sleepless In A Hotel Room, the third release from Luke Combs’ next album The Way I Am (which arrives in March), is new at #19. Combs has had 10 top 50 hits here; his biggest so far is Fast Car, which peaked at #2 in 2023.

Rising UK star Sienna Spiro arrives in the top 40 for the first time as Die On This Hill jumps from #68 to #29, while Alabama-born country singer Ella Langley scores her first top 40 hit as Choosin’ Texas steps up from #46 to #30. 

The Australian Singles Chart has a new #1 with Think About Us by Sonny Fodera, D.O.D and Poppy Baskcomb dethroning Tame Impala’s Dracula, which sits at #2. 

Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours holds at #1 on the ARIA On Replay Albums Chart. It spent eight weeks at #1 on the main ARIA Albums Chart in 1977-78 and is the band’s only #1 album here.
