Australian alt-rockers Sly Withers have had their most successful outing on the ARIA charts to date with their fourth record, To Be Honest.

The Perth outfit's LP has topped the Australian Albums chart and debuted at No. 11 on the ARIA Albums list. It's the band's third record to land in the chart: Gardens peaked at No. 10 in 2021, and Overgrown also reached No. 10 in 2022.

Meanwhile, Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving has held onto top spot on the Albums chart this week, making it the longest-running No. 1 album by a female artist since Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet ruled for 14 weeks in 2024-25.

Other album debuts this week include US country star Ella Langley's Dandelion (No. 4), and UK songwriter Holly Humberstone's Cruel World (No. 18).

Over on the Singles chart, Dean's two hits - “Man I Need” and "Rein Me In" - have switched places from last week, while the only new debut comes from Katseye with "Pinky Up" at No. 19.
