Chart-Topping Hits: Morgan Wallen, Tate McRae, Taylor Swift, and More Dominate the ARIA Charts
Morgan Wallen's album "I'm The Problem" maintains its position at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart for the third consecutive week, making it the longest-running No. 1 album by a country artist in Australia in almost a decade. Wallen's success is followed by his single "What I Want," featuring Tate McRae, which lands at No. 14 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
Tate McRae, the Canadian pop star, debuts at No. 5 on the ARIA Singles Chart with her track "Just Keep Watching," from the Brad Pitt-led F1 soundtrack. This marks her 11th top 20 hit on the ARIA chart, with her highest-charting single being "Greedy," which peaked at No. 2 in 2023.
Taylor Swift's album "Reputation" jumps from No. 34 to No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart after she secured the master rights to her first six albums. Swift has re-recorded and released four of those albums, with plans to re-record "Reputation" in the future. Miley Cyrus also enters the albums chart with "Something Beautiful" debuting at No. 4, marking her ninth studio album and eighth to chart inside the top 20 in Australia.
Cloud Control, the indie rock band, re-enters the ARIA Albums Chart at No. 19 with their 2010 debut album "Bliss Release" following a surprise reunion after a seven-year hiatus. The band's highest-charting release remains "Dream Cave," which reached No. 9 in 2013.
Alex Warren's single "Ordinary" continues its reign at No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for an 11th consecutive week, joining a select group of long-running chart-toppers in Australian history. The track's success ties it with other chart-toppers like Wings' "Mull of Kintyre," Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," and more.
