With that feat, Swift has the most No. 1 albums for a solo female artist in ARIA chart history, moving ahead of Madonna to claim outright third place.

Hemmings\u2019 first LP, 2021\u2019s When Facing The Things We Turn Away From<\/em>, reached the summit for one week.<\/p>\n \n\tIcelandic jazz musician Laufey<\/a> enjoys a magical ride with Bewitched,<\/em> which flies to No. 6 following the release of an expanded edition. Bewitched<\/em> had previously peaked at No. 46 in 2023. <\/p>\n \n\tAlso new to the national albums tally is the Dreggs\u2019 Caught In A Reverie<\/em> (at No. 29) and Justice<\/a> with Hyperdrama<\/em> (at No. 52).<\/p>\n \n\tWhile Swift holds the fort on ARIA Singles Chart<\/a> with \u201cFortnight,\u201d Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> has a hot hit on her hands with \u201cEspresso,\u201d up 17-2. That\u2019s easily her career best result in Australia, flying higher than \u201cFeather\u201d which reached No. 22 last year. \u201cEspresso\u201d led the midweek chart in the U.K., where it\u2019s predicted to become her first No. 1. <\/p>\n \n\tFinally, American singer and producer Shaboozey<\/a> completes Australia\u2019s podium with \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy).\u201d The country track, which interpolates J-Kwon\u2019s \u201cTipsy,\u201d bolts 34-3 on the ARIA Chart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
