Benson Boone has landed his first No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, as his sophomore LP American Heart debuts at the summit this week.
The chart-topping arrival follows the breakout success of Boone’s 2024 debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades, which peaked at No. 17 and spawned the long-running No. 1 hit “Beautiful Things.” That single remains a force on the ARIA Singles Chart, currently sitting at No. 8.
Boone leads a trio of top-five debuts on this week’s albums chart. Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet holds strong at No. 2, while English alt-rocker Yungblud lands at No. 4 with Idols — his fourth studio album and second Australian top-five entry.
The soundtrack to Netflix’s K-pop fantasy film KPop Demon Hunters opens at No. 5, powered by buzz around the fictional girl group HUNTR/X. According to ARIA, it’s the first animated soundtrack to reach the top five since Frozen 2 in 2019.
HAIM’s latest album I Quit debuts at No. 20, marking the trio’s fourth ARIA chart appearance. Their 2013 debut Days Are Gone peaked at No. 2, followed by 2017’s Something to Tell You (No. 4) and 2020’s Women in Music Pt. III (No. 7).
Meanwhile, Killing Heidi’s Reflector returns to the chart at No. 22 thanks to its 25th anniversary reissue. The ARIA Hall of Famers originally topped the chart for six weeks in 2000, and swept four ARIA Awards that year including Album of the Year.
On the ARIA Singles Chart, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds firm at No. 1 for a 14th consecutive week — tying it with ABBA’s “Fernando” (1976) and Rosé & Bruno Mars’ “APT.” (2024-25) for third-longest reign of all time. If it claims a 15th week, it will match Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You for second place.
New at No. 3 is “Victory Lap” from Fred again.., Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax, marking Fred again..’s second top 20 entry and the first for both Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax in Australia.
Tinashe also returns to the top 10, as her Disco Lines-assisted “No Broke Boys” remix rockets from No. 20 to No. 9 in its second week.
