Four Weeks in and Taylor Swift is Still Owning the ARIA Charts

For the fourth week in a row, Taylor Swift sits atop the ARIA Albums and Singles chart.

The global superstar's 12th LP, The Life of a Showgirl, still sits comfortably in the No. 1 position on the Albums list, while lead single, "The Fate of Ophelia", remains unbeaten on the Singles chart.

The good news is a few Australian artists have emerged in the top 10. Country artist James Johnston enjoys his highest ever debut with second album, Where You'll Find Me, which places at No. 5 and No. 1 on the Australian Albums chart. His 2023-released first record, Raised Like That, peaked at No. 7.

Meanwhile local favourite Paul Dempsey's covers album, Shotgun Karaoke Vol. II, charts at No. 8. The Something for Kate frontman has released four solo studio albums, reaching hitting No. 5 in 2009 with Everything Is True, No. 17 in 2013 with Shotgun Karaoke and No. 5 in 2016 with Strange Loop.

Other top ten debuts this week come from the UK's Lily Allen with West End Girl (No. 6), her first album in seven years, and London rapper Dave's third record, The Boy Who Played The Harp at No. 7.

The Singles chart stays consistent with last week's placings, as Olivia Dean still holds the No.2 spot with "Man I Need" ahead of her impending Australian trip next month.
