As Lil Nas X’s debut album MONTERO hits #1 this week, the American pop-rap hits a new peak at #4 with Industry Baby, one spot above its previous high.

A week on from debuting at #27, Meet Me At Our Spot by American duo The Anxiety climbs ten spots to hit #17. It takes the single one spot higher than the peak reached by group member Willow Smith’s Whip My Hair, which hit #18 in January 2011.
Nigerian singer/songwriter CKay makes his ARIA top 50 debut with Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah) at #23. First released in 2019, the track has picked up pace in the last year thanks to TikTok and a number of remixes, charting across Europe, plus Canada, New Zealand and Singapore.
Continuing the release of re-recordings of her back catalogue, Taylor Swift debuts at #28 with Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version). It’s an update of the track from album chart topper 1989, with the track peaking at #3 in September 2015.
Also breaking into the top 50 this week are Obsessed With You by Central Cee at #41 and Fancy Like by Walker Hayes at #50.
At #15 on this week’s chart, this week marks 50 weeks in the top 50 for Levitating by Dua Lipa.

American star Lil Nas X debuts at #1 on the ARIA albums chart with MONTERO. It’s the first album from the pop-rap artist, who first rose to prominence when Old Town Road spent 13 weeks at #1 on the singles chart in 2019. It becomes his second entry on the albums chart, having made his debut with 7 EP in July 2019. MONTERO includes three top ten singles: Montero (Call Me By Your Name), Industry Baby, and That’s What I Want. The album features appearances from Elton John, Doja Cat, Jack Harlow, Megan Thee Stallion and Miley Cyrus.
The highest-ranking Australian album sits at #2 this week as Melbourne duo Vika and Linda score their third top two debut in two years as they release The Wait. The seventh studio album from the Bull sisters is their first album of originals since 2002’s Love Is Mighty Close. It includes tracks written by Bernard Fanning, Don Walker, Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers, Augie March’s Glenn Richards, The Living End’s Chris Cheney and more.

Doley’s only other top 50 entry was with Lovelight at #40 in January 2017.
