Blink-182 returns with One More Time…, new at #2. It features the original line-up of Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus. It’s their first studio album since Nine, featuring Matt Skiba in place of DeLonge, which topped out at #4 in 2019.

It is LAROI’s seventh top 10 single in Australia: So Done got to #6 in 2020, Without You spent one week at #1 in 2021, Stay with Justin Bieber ruled the #1 spot for 17 weeks in 2021-22, Not Sober with Polo G and Stunna Gambino reached #8 in 2021, Thousand Miles hit #4 in 2022 and Love Again peaked at #6 earlier this year.
