Kendrick Lamar Claims Both No. 1 Spots on ARIA Charts

Kendrick Lamar has officially dominated the ARIA Charts this week, reclaiming the No. 1 spot on both the Albums and Singles rankings.

Following his GRAMMY wins and a high-profile Super Bowl LIX performance, GNX vaults from No. 15 back to the top, while “Not Like Us” returns to No. 1 on the Singles Chart. This marks the first time Lamar has held both positions simultaneously in Australia.

The Compton rapper now boasts three No. 1 albums in the country, with To Pimp A Butterfly (2015) and Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (2022) also reaching the top.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift makes her presence known with the debut of Lover – Live From Paris at No. 14. The concert recording, initially released as a Valentine’s Day vinyl exclusive in 2023, gets a fresh boost with its reissue on heart-shaped vinyl this month. With 18 albums making the ARIA Charts throughout her career, Swift has landed at No. 1 an impressive 13 times.

On the Singles Chart, Australian DJ Dom Dolla scores a Top 40 debut at No. 33 with “Dreamin,” featuring Daya. The ARIA Award-winning producer last cracked the Top 10 with “Saving Up” in 2023. Daya, known for her breakout hit “Hide Away” (No. 6 in 2015) and The Chainsmokers collab “Don’t Let Me Down” (No. 3 in 2016), returns to the Australian charts after nearly a decade.

Bruno Mars continues to rewrite streaming records, becoming the first artist to hit 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His collaboration with Rosé, “APT.,” holds steady at No. 2, while his Lady Gaga-assisted track “Die With A Smile” lands at No. 6 this week.

Speaking of Lady Gaga, the pop icon makes magic as “Abracadabra” shoots from No. 50 to No. 12. The track is the latest preview of her upcoming album Mayhem, set to drop next month. If it reaches the Top 10, it will be Gaga’s 15th ARIA Top 10 single.

GRAMMY momentum continues to propel Chappell Roan, who now holds two Top 10 ARIA singles. “Pink Pony Club” gallops from No. 22 to No. 7, while “Good Luck, Babe!”—a former No. 4 hit—remains strong at No. 10.
