It’s Sabrina Carpenter’s week: the American star takes out the top 3 tracks on the ARIA SIngles Chart, as Short n’ Sweet debuts at the top of the Albums Chart; while two Aussies round out the top 3: Teenage Dads at #2 with Majordomo and Stand Atlantic with Was Here at #3.
Her sixth album and first #1, Short n’ Sweet includes the #1 singles Espresso, Please Please Please, and – as of today – Taste. Until now, her highest-charting album was Emails I Can’t Send, which reached #27 in 2022.
Sabrina holds all top 3 singles this week with Taste, Please Please Please and Espresso. It’s the first time one act has done so since April this year, when Taylor Swift scored the trifecta thanks to the release of The Tortured Poets Department.
Sabrina also scores another seven tracks in the top 50, and becomes the first act to secure three #1 hits in the same year since 2018, when Drake topped the chart with God’s Plan (11 weeks on top), Nice For What (two weeks) and In My Feelings (four weeks).
Aussie rock band Teenage Dads storm onto the chart at #2 with Majordomo. The winners of the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist category at the 2023 ARIA Awards, they reached #28 last year with their EP Midnight Driving.
Sydney pop punk band Stand Atlantic’s Was Here debuts at #3. It’s their fourth album: their second, Pink Elephant, reached #23 in 2020 and F.E.A.R. peaked at #10 in 2022.
Dublin rock band Fontaines D.C. are new at #6 with their fourth album Romance. A Hero’s Deathtopped out at #26 in 2020 and Skinty Fa got to #24 in 2022.
Travis Scott is new at #9 with Days Before Rodeo. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Texan rapper and singer reissues his 2014 mixtape with additional material across brand-new formats, arriving on streaming for the first time. The original mixtape didn’t chart, but Travis had three top 10 albums under his belt before this week: Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight reached #10 in 2016, Astroworld hit #1 in 2018 and Utopia went to #1 last year. Utopia is at #31 this week.
American country star Lainey Wilson enters at #19 with her fifth album, Whirlwind. It’s her second charted album here: Bell Bottom Country reached #35 on the back of her tour in March this year.
Rounding things out, Gold Coast singer Lily Grace – now based in Nashville – debuts at #42 with her first album, Old Enough To Know Better.
