Morgan Wallen continues to make waves down under! His album, 'I'm the Problem,' is holding strong at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart for a third consecutive week. This impressive run marks the longest-running No. 1 for a country artist in Australia in almost a decade, since Lee Kernaghan's 'Spirit of the Anzacs' topped the charts for four weeks in 2015. Shania Twain's 'Come On Over' still holds the all-time country record with 20 non-consecutive weeks at the summit.
But Wallen's success isn't limited to albums. He's also climbing the ARIA Singles Chart, currently sitting at No. 14 with "What I Want," featuring Tate McRae. This is further proof of his widespread appeal and growing fanbase in Australia.
Other Chart Highlights
While Wallen enjoys his success, other artists are also making their mark. Tate McRae, featured on Wallen's single, also debuted at No. 5 with "Just Keep Watching," her contribution to the F1 soundtrack led by Brad Pitt. This track, co-written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, marks her 11th top 20 hit on the ARIA chart. Her most successful single to date, “Greedy,” reached No. 2 in 2023.
Taylor Swift's 'Reputation' Surge
Taylor Swift's 'Reputation' has experienced a significant jump, rocketing from No. 34 to No. 2 following the exciting news that she has secured the master rights to her first six albums. Fans eagerly anticipate the re-recording of 'Reputation,' with Swift confirming that she has completed “less than a quarter” of the project. The original album previously held the No. 1 spot for two weeks in 2017.
Miley Cyrus's New Entry
Miley Cyrus also made a notable entry onto the albums chart with 'Something Beautiful,' debuting at No. 4. This is her ninth studio album and eighth to chart inside the top 20 in Australia. Three of her albums have previously reached No. 1: 'Breakout' (2008), 'Bangerz' (2013), and 'Endless Summer Vacation' (2023).
