Yungblud’s Australian Tour Pushes ‘Idols’ to No. 1 on ARIA Chart

Yungblud’s recent tour of Australia has produced the sweetest of halo effects, as his album Idols blasts to No. 1.

On the latest ARIA Albums Chart, published Friday, Jan. 23, Idols lifts 12-1, for its first stint at the top of the leaderboard. Idols had previously peaked at No. 4, following its released in June 2025. With its big push, Idols becomes Yungblud’s second leader in these parts, after his self-titled third album spent one week at No. 1 in 2022.

Yungblud’s six-date trek, the domestic leg of his IDOLS World Tour, wrapped up Tuesday, Jan. 20 at Perth’s ICF: Outdoor, with Dune Rats supporting on all shows.

The highest debut on the latest frame belongs to Madison Beer, the American singer-songwriter whose third album Locket snags a podium entry, just behind Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving, down 1-2. Beer’s Locket is new at No. 3 on the ARIA Chart, and it’s the best seller this week on wax. Previously, Beer made a splash on the chart with 2021’s Life Support, which peaked at No. 36.

Also new to the top 10 is A$AP Rocky, whose Don’t Be Dumb bows at No. 5. It’s the U.S. wrapper’s fourth appearance in the top tier, after 2013’s Long Live A$AP (peaking at No. 7), 2015’s At Long Last A$AP (No. 5) and 2018’s Testing (No. 5).

South Korean boy band Enhypen drop in at No. 15 with their EP, The Sin: Vanish, for their first appearance on the ARIA Top 50 Albums Chart. Enhypen will get a chance to thank their Australian fans on March 14 when they headline the very first Hello, Melbourne (안녕, MELBOURNE), presented at Flemington Racecourse.

Robbie Williams’ surprise release, Britpop, has a surprise soft entry on the chart. It’s new at No. 22. Robbie has collected 16 top 20 appearances on the ARIA Chart, including No. 1s with his Greatest Hits (nine weeks in 2004-05), Intensive Care (one week in 2005), Rudebox (one week in 2006), Reality Killed The Video Star (one week in 2009) and The Christmas Present (one week in 2019).

Meanwhile, new releases from U.S. singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine (Older at No. 25), English post-punk duo Sleaford Mods (The Demise of Planet X at No. 36), and homegrown punk rockers DZ Deathrays (Easing Out Of Control at No. 45) all make an appearance for the first time.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” retains the crown for the 10th consecutive week. It’s the longest reigning single by a solo English female artist since Sandi Thom’s “I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)” also led for 10 weeks in 2006, ARIA reports.

Further down the list, Bruno Mars bags his 19th top 10 single as “I Just Might improves 11-10.

The best-placed new entry is PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson’s collaboration “Stateside,” new at No. 20, while Zach Bryan lights up a top 50 spot with “Plastic Cigarette,” new at No. 43. The latest tally is notable for featuring no Australian recordings.
