Olivia Rodrigo is spending a seventh week at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart, holding off Tate McRae in a week that also sees Party Dozen, Tame Impala and Kings Of Leon moving on the Australian charts.

Olivia Rodrigo’s “You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love” steps back up to #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart this week, making it seven non-consecutive weeks on top.

Kings Of Leon’s 10th studio album, “O My Beloved” comes in at #3 on the Albums Chart and #6 on the Vinyl Chart. The Tennessee rockers have scored six top 10 albums: “Because Of The Times” (#4 in 2007), “Only By The Night” (#1 for four weeks in 2008), “Come Around Sundown” (#1 for two weeks in 2010), “Mechanical Bull” (#1 for one week in 2013), “Walls” (#3 in 2016) and “When You See Yourself” (#1 for one week in 2021).

Sydney rock band Party Dozen step onto the Albums Chart at #6 and the Australian Albums Chart at #1 with “21 Bum Salute”. It’s their fifth studio album and first time in the top 10; until now, their best result had been the #89 peak of “Crime In Australia” in 2024.

James Blunt’s eighth studio album, “Airplane Mode”, lands at #9. His first six albums all made the top 10, including two chart toppers: “Back To Bedlam” in 2004 and “All The Lost Souls” in 2007.

The Kid Laroi’s “Before I Forget” roars back onto the Albums Chart at #11, the Australian Albums Chart at #2 and the Vinyl Chart at #1 thanks to its release on vinyl. It peaked at #2 in January last year. The winner of four ARIA Awards, he is nominated in the Song of the Year category in this year’s awards on 18 November for “A Cold Play”. He won in that category last year for “Girls”.

At #12 are Lime Cordiale with “Live At Sydney Opera House” recorded across three sold-out nights with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in October last year. The Sydney brothers have topped the chart twice: “14 Steps To A Better You” (#1 for one week in 2020) and “Enough Of The Sweet Talk” (#1 in 2024). The album is also #3 on the Australian Albums Chart and #2 on the Vinyl Chart.

Queensland country singer Mack Geiger’s “Dying In This House” debuts at #23 on the Albums Chart and #4 on the Australian Albums Chart. It’s his first studio album and first chart appearance. The album’s lead track, “String By”, is currently climbing the US country singles chart.

Ahead of her ARIA Awards performance, Ecca Vandal’s “Looking For People To Unfollow” is back on the Albums Chart at #24 and #5 on the Australian Albums Chart. It peaked at #12 in September. It’s her first album in nine years and has earned her seven nominations at the awards on 18 November, including Album of the Year, Best Solo Artist and Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist.

Melbourne metalcore band Future Static arrive at #33 on the Albums Chart and the #7 on the Australian Albums Chart with their second album, “Ornaments & Memories”. It’s their first time in the top 50. The band’s next Australian tour starts in April.

Legendary Aussie band The Church land at “Lacuna”, new at #35 on the Albums Chart and #8 on the Australian Albums Chart. Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2010, they have released 27 studio albums since 1981. Their best result came with “The Blurred Crusade”, which peaked at #10 in 1982. The new album was recorded in Austin, Texas, in May 2024.

On the Singles Chart, Tate McRae’s “Housewife” holds at #1 for the fourth week in a row.

Tame Impala’s “Dracula” returns to the top 10, up from #13 to #9 ahead of Kevin Parker’s appearance at the ARIA Awards. The version of the track featuring Jennie reached a Billboard Chart peak over the Halloween weekend, rising to #3.

No change on the On Replay charts, with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” the #1 album and The Killers’ “Mr Brightside” the #1 single.

Tyla performs live on stage during the opening night of the North America leg of The A*POP World Tour at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California

Tyla launched the North America leg of The A*POP World Tour last night at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California, opening with “THAT GIRL” and closing with an encore of “WATER” as her sophomore album A*POP continues its run at the top of the Billboard World Albums chart.

Last night, two-time GRAMMY Award-winning global singer and songwriter Tyla launched the North America leg of her highly anticipated THE A*POP WORLD TOUR at Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, CA. The tour celebrates the release of her highly anticipated sophomore studio album, A*POP, which arrived July 24 via FAX and Epic Records.

Tyla opened the show with “THAT GIRL” before delivering performances of “Jump,” “PUSH 2 START,” “Truth or Dare” and more. The setlist also featured fan favorites and chart-topping hits including, “SHE DID IT AGAIN” and “SHAKE AH”, “CHANEL,” before closing with an encore performance of “WATER.” The production brought the A*POP aesthetic to life, transforming the stage into a vibrant, club-like setting with black lights, neon outfits and bold splashes of paint.

THE A*POP WORLD TOUR continues tomorrow with a performance at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco before making stops in Vancouver, Chicago, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and more. The North America leg concludes on Saturday, December 19 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Tyla will then bring the tour to Africa for select performances in Cape Town and Johannesburg early January before supporting Bruno Mars on his Australia and New Zealand dates of The Romantic Tour throughout February and March.

The tour follows Tyla’s 2025 We Wanna Party Tour across Asia and the UAE, which included sold-out performances in Japan. THE A*POP WORLD TOUR marks her first full-scale headline tour spanning North America, Europe, the UK and Africa.

Released July 24, A*POP features 14 tracks, including “CHANEL,” “IS IT,” “SHE DID IT AGAIN” and “IS IT LOVE.” The album is available to stream now at tyla.lnk.to/APOP. The record has already won critical and commercial accolades, debuting at #1 on the Billboard World Albums chart and earning praise from outlets like Pitchfork, who called her a “sexy, infectious, fun new voice” in the pop mainstream.

About Tyla

In an era where niche culture has taken priority over monoculture, two-time GRAMMY® winner TYLA has ascended to true and unequivocal global superstar status. With A*POP, asserted and fully aware of her presence in pop music, she presents a project that refuses containment or dismissal. It’s confrontational, candid but fun, and spills authenticity rooted in where she’s from: a country that has always spoken in more than one musical language. Through this language, she reveals her range not just as an African artist, but as a global pop star with an entire world behind her.

TYLA’s journey got off to a historic beginning in 2024, when she won her first GRAMMY® Award, and made Billboard chart history with the three-time RIAA® Platinum smash hit “WATER,” and the release of her seminal debut albums, TYLA and TYLA+. The set produced another Hot 100 and GRAMMY®-winning hit, “PUSH 2 START,” and sent seven songs to the U.S. Afrobeats chart, including two no. 1s. The campaign made TYLA the highest-charting African female soloist on the Billboard 200. With her highly-anticipated second go-round, A*POP, TYLA picked up where she left off. “CHANEL,” one of the album’s standout singles, was an immediate pop sensation. It topped the U.S. Afrobeats chart and earned over 150 million video views, while TYLA’s follow-up effort, the Zara Larsson-assisted, Y2K-inspired “SHE DID IT AGAIN,” became a disruptive moment, and amplified TYLA’s commitment to the pop star realm. “IS IT LOVE?,” the album’s third single, earned TYLA her record fourth no. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart. A*POP is available now.
