More Guts More Glory

Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS holds at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart for a second week, as Teddy Swims and Thirty Seconds To Mars make top 10 debuts.

Teddy Swims is new at #4 with I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), his first studio album.

Real name Jaten Dimsdale, Teddy first rose to prominence performing covers on his YouTube channel, which has more than 2.7 million subscribers.

The Leto brothers’ band Thirty Second To Mars lands at #9 with It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day. It is the LA band’s sixth studio album and their first since 2018. Their best result in Australia was Love, Lust, Faith And Dreams, which peaked at #4 in 2013.

Japanese-American singer Mitski arrives at #13 with her seventh studio album The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We. It is only her second time on the Albums Chart, after Laurel Hell reached #7 in 2022. 

American rapper Sleepy Hallow is also new at #32 with Boy Meets World, his second studio album and first to dent the top 50.

On the Singles Chart, it’s five weeks at #1 for Doja Cat’s Paint The Town Red, which has also topped the charts in the US and the UK. The track is from her fourth solo album, Scarlet, which arrived today.

Arriving at #5 is Greedy by Tate McRae, who climbed to #7 in 2020 with You Broke Me First, while Prada by Casso, Raye and D-Block Europe lands in the top 10, up from #15 to #8, marking the first Australian hit for Casso and D-Block Europe.

Kenya Grace’s Strangers bounds from #30 to #6 in its third week on the chart. It’s the South African-born, UK-based singer-songwriter-producer’s first major-label debut and is on track to crack the UK Top 10 this week.

Rounding things out, the superstar combo of Drake and SZA are new at #12 with Slime You Out, also bumping SZA’s current solo single, Snooze, to a new peak of #21.
