When the ARIA Singles Chart was published late Friday, Sept. 27, “Taste” (via Island/Universal) was on top for the fifth straight week, lifting her total number of weeks at No. 1 this year to eight – more than any other artist. The next best is Benson Boone, with six total weeks at the ARIA Chart summit, all clocked up by “Beautiful Things.”
With “Taste” in the lead, the podium is closed out by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” (unchanged at No. 2 via Warner/Universal) and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (up 4-3 via Empire), respectively.
Over on the ARIA Albums Chart, Short n’ Sweet logs a fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1, ahead of Katy Perry’s new arrival 143 (Capitol/Universal), dropping in No. 2.
That’s Perry’s fifth top 10 album following Teenage Dream (No. 1 for two weeks in 2010), Prism (No. 1 for one week in 2013), Witness (No. 2 in 2017) and her most recent LP Smile, which peaked at No. 2 in 2020.
Meanwhile, Keith Urban swings in with High (Capitol/EMI), new at No. 3. The Aussie country star played a surprise gig in his hometown Brisbane, ahead of the release of High, his 11th studio effort. He’ll return in the second-half of 2025 for a major arena jaunt.
A six-time ARIA Award-winner, Urban previously hit No. 1 on the ARIA Chart with The Story So Far (in 2012), Fuse (2013), Ripcord (2016) and The Speed Of Now Part 1 (2020).
Also new to the top tier is homegrown indie band The Rubens, new No. 4 with SODA (Mushroom), their sixth album. SODA is the band’s fifth top 10 appearance after 2012’s self-titled debut (peaking at No. 3), 2015’s Hoops (No. 2), 2018’s Lo La Ru (No. 3) and 2021’s 0202 (No. 1 for one week).
The Rubens have collected a brace of ARIA Awards, and in January 2016 won triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown with “Hoops.”
