It’s taken nearly two years, but we’ve finally got another Aussie act on the top of the singles charts. 5 Seconds of Summer are sitting pretty with “Youngblood,” their second number one following “She Looks So Perfect.” We haven’t seen an Aussie act at number one on the singles charts since The Veronicas did it in July 2016 with “In My Blood.”
Could Amy Shark be the next Australian act to top the singles chart? She’s sitting at number eight, one spot higher than last week, with “I Said Hi.”
Post Malone is back on top of the albums charts with Beerbongs & Bentleys, denying Courtney Barnett a number one on debut. Her new album Tell Me How You Really Feel sits at number two, her highest chart position after her debut album peaked at number four and her collaboration with Kurt Vile hit number five.
Keith Urban is the only other Aussie in this week’s top ten. His new album Graffiti U sits at number seven this week, four down on its debut last week.
