\n\tOlivia Rodrigo<\/a>\u2019s \u201cDrop Dead\u201d (via Interscope\/Universal) shows a lot of heart by roaring to No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDrop Dead\u201d got a boost from not one, but two, music videos, and a live performance at Coachella last Saturday night (April 18), when Rodrigo was a surprise guest during\u00a0Addison Rae<\/a>\u2018s set. It\u2019s the lead single from her forthcoming third studio album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, due out June 12. With it\u2019s lightning start, the U.S. pop star now boasts a fourth No. 1 single in Australia after \u201cDrivers Licence\u201d (six weeks in 2021), \u201cGood 4 U\u201d (five weeks in 2021) and \u201cVampire\u201d was (one week in 2023).<\/p>\n

\n\tRodrigo ends Olivia Dean<\/a>\u2019s months-long reign with the singles \u201cMan I Need,\u201d which holds at No. 2 on the latest chart, published Friday, April 24, and \u201cReign Me In,\u201d her collaboration with Sam Fender<\/a>, which dips 1-3.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe only other debutant in the top 40 is Justin Bieber<\/a>, who benefits from his headline performances on both weekends of Coachella. Bieber\u2019s \u201cSpeed Demon\u201d (Def Jam\/Universal) is new at No. 39, while his former No. 1 \u201cDaisies\u201d flowers 10-4; \u201cBeauty And a Beat\u201d featuring Nicki Minaj returns to the list at No. 5, its peak position; and \u201cYukon\u201d is on the rise, up 23-18.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe lost her singles crown, but Olivia Dean remains the queen of the ARIA Albums Chart<\/a>, as The Art of Loving (Universal) enters a 13th non-consecutive week at No. 1. That\u2019s the longest-reigning album by an English singer since Ed Sheeran\u2019s \u00f7 (divide) logged 27 weeks at the top of the leaderboard in 2017-18, ARIA<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Sydney singer and songwriter Matt Corby<\/a> works some chart magic with his fourth full-length album, Tragic Magic (Island\/Universal). It\u2019s new at No. 3, for the top debut album of the latest cycle. Corby has three career ARIA Awards, and a string of top 10 appearances on the albums tally, including No. 1 in 2016 with Telluric.<\/p>\n

\n\tWestern Australia\u2019s Spacey Jane<\/a> launch at No. 30 with Live At The Hordern Pavilion (AWAL), for the ARIA Award-winning indie band\u2019s fifth appearance in the ARIA Top 50. Also new to the chart is homegrown singer Charley with her first album The Chronicles Of A Serial Idealist (EMI), new at No. 23; Australian Idol 2026 champ Kesha Oayda with The Idol Collection (Orchard), new at No. 31; and Australian Music Prize-winning outfit Hermitude<\/a>, whose eighth studio album, Eight (ELT), enters at No. 39.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u201cDrop Dead\u201d (via Interscope\/Universal) shows a lot of heart by roaring to No. 1 on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[153024,254802,64,63,114713,71516,5301,134,136],"class_list":["post-629701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-aria","tag-aria-charts","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bbcharts","tag-bbnews","tag-charts","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
