Youngblood – Sounds of Oz

An Australian act hasn’t held the number one position on the ARIA singles and albums charts since Gotye was sitting pretty with “Somebody That I Used to Know” and Making Mirrors in August 2011. This week 5 Seconds in Summer become only the 33rd local act to achieve the feat with their single “Youngblood” enjoying its fifth week at number one and the album of the same name shooting to the top of the charts on debut.

“I Said Hi” by Amy Shark is the only other act in the top 10 this week. Her latest single has slipped three positions to land at number nine this week.

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.
