Nothing sad about Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album becomes her third #1 as “You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love” captures the summit on the ARIA Albums Chart this week. 

Her first album, “Sour”, spent eight weeks at #1 in 2021 and “Guts” topped the chart for two weeks in 2023. She also reached #11 last year with “Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording)”. 

The arrival of the album sees Olivia score her third #1 single in less than two months, as “Stupid Song” enters the Singles Chart penthouse. “Drop Dead” spent one week at #1 in late April and “The Cure” did the same earlier this month. The latter rebounds from #6 to #2 this week and the former is up from #15 to #4. 

All 13 tracks from “You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love” are in the top 30, including “What’s Wrong With Me”, a duet with Robert Smith, at #12. That marks The Cure lead singer’s first appearance in the top 50 since the group’s “The 13th” reached #31 in 1996. Olivia is a big fan of Robert, inviting him on stage for a surprise performance at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival. 

Keith Urban’s 13th studio album, “Flow State”, debuts at #5 on the Albums Chart and #1 on the Australian Albums Chart. It’s his first covers album and includes collaborations with John Mayer, Little Big Town and Michael McDonald.

The winner of five ARIA Awards, Keith has now scored 10 top 10 albums, including four chart toppers: “Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing” (#5 in 2006), “Greatest Hits: 18 Kids” (#7 in 2007), “Defying Gravity” (#3 in 2009), “The Story So Far” (#1 in 2012), “Fuse” (#1 in 2013), “Ripcord” (#1 in 2016), “Graffiti U” (#2 in 2018), “The Speed Of Now Part 1” (#1 in 2020) and “High” (#3 in 2024). 

Five-time ARIA Award winner Josh Pyke is new at #6 with “Kingdom Within”. It’s his eighth studio album and seventh top 10 result; his best performer so far was “But For All These Shrinking Hearts”, which peaked at #2 in 2015. It is also #2 on the Australian Albums Chart and #5 on the Vinyl Chart.

Perth outfit South Summit debut at #10 on the Albums Chart and #3 on the Australian Albums Chart with their second studio album “Run It Back”. Their first album, “The Bliss”, climbed to #25 in 2024. 

Ruel’s third album, “Kicking My Feet & Screaming”, arrives at #25 on the Albums Chart and #4 on the Australian Albums Chart. The ARIA Award winner reached #3 in 2023 with “4th Wall” and #6 last year with “Kicking My Feet”. 

Dami Im debuts at #36 with her jazz-inspired EP “Stormy Weather”, Spacey Jane land at #43 with their latest EP “Exit Wounds”, and Sonny Fodera lands at #49 with his sixth studio album “Can We Do It All Again?”. It’s his first time on the ARIA Albums Chart.
