Fourth #1 for Human Nature

Moves for Flume, Keith Urban, Coldplay and more!

With their thirteenth studio album, Gimme Some Lovin': Jukebox Vol. II, Human Nature have become the thirteenth Australian act to hit #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 2016. The quartet’s previous album, Jukebox, has re-entered the chart at #24.

Flume’s Skin has experienced a jump of 13 spots following the producer’s headline slot at last weekend’s Splendour In The Grass. A former #1, this week is Skin’s ninth straight week in the top 50 and sixth week overall in the top ten.

Since debuting at #1 in May, Ripcord hasn’t left the top ten (including a second week at #1). In its twelfth week in the top ten, Keith Urban’s third #1 album has moved back up from #10 to #7.

After eight weeks out of the top 50, Matt Corby’s debut album returns to the top 50 for a twelfth week. The former #1’s resurgence comes on the back of Corby’s Splendour In The Grass set.

Splendour In The Grass has led to a host of re-entries this week, including The Cure’s Greatest Hits (#27), Jack Garratt’s Phase (#31) and Gang Of Youths’ The Positions (#35).

After scoring her first #1 single in the US, Sia has re-entered the top 50 at #38 with This Is Acting.
