Taylor cracks double digits on albums chart

Taylor Swift hits double digits on the ARIA Albums Chart this week, while the end of the festive season sees several of last year’s favourite tracks race back up the Singles Chart.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) holds on top for the 10th straight week, easily making it the most successful of her re-recorded albums. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version) spent one week a piece at #1 in 2021, while Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) ruled for two weeks last year.

The Weeknd’s 2021 album The Highlights climbs from #6 back to its original peak of #2, while Morgan Wallen’s former #1 album One Thing At A Time jumps from #12 to #4

As Christmas songs crash out of the chart, Jack Harlow’s Lovin On Me rebounds from #7 to #1 for its seventh week in the ARIA Singles Chart summit. One more week on top and it will tie with Morgan Wallen’s 2023 hit Last Night for the most weeks at #1 for a solo male artist since The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights spent 11 weeks at #1 in 2020.

A slew of other tracks bounce back up the chart, with Tate McRae’s Greedy jumping from #15 to reclaim its #2 peak and Doja Cat’s Paint The Town Red – which spent 10 weeks at #1 last year – flying from #21 to #3.

Taylor Swift’s Cruel Summer soars from #24 to #4, and Prada by Casso, Raye and D-Block Europe climbs back from #25 to #5.

South African singer Tyla’s debut Australian hit, Water, returns to its earliest peak of #7, up from #28 last week; while American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan’s Stick Season hits a new high, up from #26 to #6.

American country star Zach Bryan again scores two top 10 singles, as I Remember Everything pings back from #30 to #8 and Something In The Orange vaults from #36 to #10. Aussie band Ocean Alley’s six-year-old hit Confidence resumes its comeback, up from #5 to #1. It peaked at #9 in 2018.
