Australian favourites The Jungle Giants have won big on this week's ARIA charts with their latest album, Experiencing Feelings of Joy.

The Brisbane-formed outfit's fifth record has debuted at No. 1 on the Australian Albums chart and No. 3 on the main Albums list.

Meanwhile, Noah Kahan has held onto the top spot for a third straight week with The Great Divide, again ahead of Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving at No. 2.

Other debuts this week include Black Veil Brides' Vindicate (No. 19), Australian songwriter Katherine Halloran's Nobody's Baby (which also placed at No. 2 on the Australian Albums chart), Neil Diamond's Wild at Heart (No. 29), and local jazz singer Simone Waddell's Unforgettable (No. 43).

Over on the Singles chart, US country singer Ella Langley's “Choosin' Texas” has climbed to the top spot six months after debuting. The track is the first song by a female country singer to top the Singles chart here since Taylor Swift’s "All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)" hit No. 1 in 2021.
