Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album, GUTS, has stormed its way up the ARIA Albums Chart for a chart #1 debut this week, while Grinspoon’s impending Easy Detention tour sees the band surge back.
Rodrigo’s much-anticipated follow-up to SOUR, which spent eight non-consecutive weeks at #1 in 2021, also lands all 12 tracks in the top 50 on the Singles Charts. Vampire jumps back from #7 to #2 – it spent one week at #1 in July – while the album’s second single, Bad Idea Right?, flies from #24 to a new peak at #3.
Olivia scores another two tracks in the top 10, with Get Him Back! at #6 and All-American Bitch at #10, lifting her tally of top 10 hits to eight since January 2021, including three chart toppers: Drivers Licence, Good 4 U and Vampire. This week also SOUR bounces back up the Albums Chart, from #18 to #8.
Hype is building for Grinspoon’s Easy Detention tour kicking off on the Gold Coast Sunday, 29 October, as both Easy and New Detention return to the Albums Chart at #46 and #47 respectively. The return coincides with the reissue of New Detention on vinyl, celebrating the album’s 20th anniversary last year and featuring a special edition of Easy. Easy hit #4 in 1999, while New Detention topped out at #2 in 2022. Grinspoon have racked up eight top 10 albums and won two ARIA Awards.
Doja Cat’s Paint The Town Red holds back Olivia Rodrigo’s rampage to retain the top spot on the Singles Chart for a fourth consecutive week, while BTS’ V debuts at #54 with Slow Dancing.
