Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet (via Island/Universal) holds at No. 1 on the latest tally, published Friday, Oct. 4, extending its chart reign to five non-consecutive weeks.
Meanwhile, Bring Me The Horizon’s Post Human: Nex Gen re-enters at a new peak of No. 2, following its release on physical format. That bests its No. 4 debut in May 2024.
Chappell Roan’s seemingly unstoppable rise continues. The U.S. alternative pop diva completes the podium with The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, up 5-3 for its peak position.
Close behind is Ed Sheeran’s first greatest hits album, +–=÷× (Tour Collection), new No. 4, for the superstar British singer and songwriter’s eighth top 10 album in these parts. All seven of his studio albums have hit No. 1 on the ARIA Chart.
Further down the list, Australian hardcore act The Amity Affliction opens at No. 7 with Let The Ocean Take Me (Redux), a rerecording of their 2014 album which logged a single week at No. 1, one of their four leaders (the others are Chasing Ghosts in 2012, This Could Be Heartbreak in 2016 and Misery in 2018).
Let The Ocean Take Me (Redux) is one of three homegrown debutants in the ARIA Top 40, a tally that includes Aussie hip-hop duo Posseshot with PS4: Operation Burner Rap (No. 21) and The Rions with Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be (at No. 35).
There’s a noteworthy bump for Katy Perry’s 2010 hit album Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, up 24-13 following the U.S. pop star’s performance at the AFL Grand Final. The collection led the chart for two weeks back in 2010.
Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Carpenter’s “Taste” holds at No. 1 for a sixth consecutive week, tying with Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” as the longest running leader this year.
Finally, the highest new entry belongs to The Weeknd and Playboy Carti, with “Timeless”, new at No. 11. The Weeknd is currently in Australia on his rescheduled Hours Til Dawn stadium tour. Produced by Live Nation, the trek has completed two dates at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium (Oct. 5 and 6), and has two more to come at Sydney’s Accord Stadium, on Oct. 22 and Oct. 23.
