Boy & Bear and new Australian supergroup, The Barnestormers, make double Aussie top 10 debuts in this week’s ARIA Albums Chart, as Morgan Wallen breaks Billy Ray Cyrus’ record on the Singles Chart.
Sydney band Boy & Bear’s eponymous album takes #4. It is their fifth studio album and fourth top 5 after Moonfire reached #2 in 2011, and 2013’s Harlequin Dream and 2015’s Limit Of Love both hit #1.
Rockabilly supergroup, The Barnestormers, break the top 10 at #3 with the debut of their self-titled album. The band features Jimmy Barnes on vocals, The Living End’s Chris Cheney on guitar, Stray Cats’ Slim Jim Phantom on drums, producer Kevin “Caveman” Shirley on bass, and UK music legend Jools Holland.
At #1 is Midnights by Taylor Swift, jumping from #7 last week thanks to the release of the Til Dawn edition. This is the album’s first time at #1 since February this year, marking its 13th non-consecutive week at the top.
On the Singles Chart, Last Night by Morgan Wallen makes it eight weeks at #1, becoming the longest-running #1 in Australia by a male American country singer since the ARIA Charts started in 1983, beating Billy Ray Cyrus’ seven-week run with Achy Breaky Heart in 1992.
With eight weeks at #1, Last Night is now the sixth longest-running chart-topper for this decade, tied with Harry Styles’ 2022 singleAs It Was. In April, Wallen became the first male American country singer to secure both the top single and album spots in three decades, since Billy Ray Cyrus’ aforementioned Achy Breaky Heart and its parent album Some Gave All.
Karma by Taylor Swift roars from #59 to a new chart peak of #2 after Midnights’ success. It originally hit #9 when the album was released last year; the reissue of Midnights features a remix of the song with Ice Spice. Snow on The Beach by Taylor and Lana Del Rey re-enters at #12, and Hits Different lands on the Singles Chart for the first time at #16; it appeared last year on the Lavender edition of Midnights and is on the Til Dawn edition.
Dua Lipa’s Dance The Night from the upcoming Barbie movie debuts at #22 marking her 21st top 50 single here, stretching back to Be The One, which topped out at #6 in 2015.
Also new at #32 is America Has A Problem by Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar, a remix of a track from her #1 album last year RENAISSANCE.
