\n\tAustralia\u2019s love story with Taylor Swift continues, as \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d (via Republic\/Universal) opens at No. 1 on the ARIA<\/a> Chart, an effort that places her in the frame with rock music royalty.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe single, which appears in the new Toy Story 5 film, is her 14th leader, a feat that sees her tie things up with the King, Elvis Presley, with the second most chart-toppers in Australia, ARIA reports. She has some way to go to challenge The Beatles, who top the list with 26, although all of the Fab Four and Elvis\u2019 No. 1 hit singles came before the launch of the official ARIA Charts<\/a> in 1983.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith that impressive start for \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You,\u201d Swift has now logged 35 weeks at No 1 on Australia\u2019s singles chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s a Cinderella chart story for the late Mac Miller, as the decade-old \u201cCinderella\u201d (Warner Music) featuring Ty Dolla $ign opens at No. 23, while Alyssa Grace bags a top 40 appearance with the independent release \u201cBloodstream,\u201d new at No. 39.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, multiple ARIA Award winner G Flip grabs a new peak position with \u201cBed On Fire\u201d (AWAL), up 33-28. It\u2019s one of three homegrown titles on the chart, a list that includes Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d (Columbia\/Sony), which dips 7-8, and The Kid Laroi\u2019s \u201cGirls,\u201d which reenters at No. 46.<\/p>\n

\n\tNiall Horan<\/a>\u2019s Dinner Party (Capitol\/Universal) turns into a feast on the ARIA Albums Chart, as the Irish pop singer\u2019s third studio album opens at No. 1. That\u2019s the second solo leader for Horan, after 2023\u2019s The Show, while 2017\u2019s Flicker and 2020\u2019s Heartbreak Weather narrowly missed out, both peaking at No. 2. As a member of One Direction, Horan had four leaders: Up All Night (in 2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013) and Four (2014).<\/p>\n

\n\tAustralian audiences will get another chance to see Horan up close, when he visits the country for a four-date arena tour next February<\/a>, produced by TEG and announced earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso new to the ARIA Chart, published Friday, June 12, is Evanescence<\/a> with Sanctuary (Columbia\/Sony), their sixth studio album. It\u2019s new at No. 2. The U.S. alternative rock outfit is on a healthy streak of top 10 appearances, with Fallen (No. 1 in 2003), The Open Door (No. 1 in 2006), Evanescence (No. 5 in 2011), Synthesis (No. 6 in 2017) and The Bitter Truth (No. 3 in 2021) all impacting the top tier.<\/p>\n

\n\tLike Horan, Evanescence has just announced a tour<\/a> of Australia in the early stages of 2027 (produced by Live Nation).<\/p>\n

\n\tCompleting an all-new top three is Malcolm Todd\u2019s Do That Again (Columbia\/Sony), arriving at No. 3, for his first ARIA Albums Chart entry. The U.S. singer and songwriter also appears at No. 10 on the national singles chart with 2024\u2019s \u201cEarrings,\u201d unchanged at No. 10.<\/p>\n

\n\tFresh off their induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame<\/a> on Thursday evening (June 11), Vika & Linda<\/a> have the week\u2019s best-selling homegrown release with Where Do You Come From? (Mushroom Music), the sister act\u2019s ninth studio album. It\u2019s new at No. 11, for their fifth top 10 appearance, a tally that includes a No. 1 with 2020\u2019s career retrospective Akilotoa (Anthology 1994-2006).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe thought this week couldn\u2019t get any better. It\u2019s ended with a bang,\u201d the Bull sisters comment in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re blown away by the response to our new album \u2018Where Do You Come From?\u2019, thank you to everyone who got it to No. 1. We feel very lucky to have a wonderful team who have worked incredibly hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFurther down the list, Newcastle, New South Wales indie rock band Rum Jungle swings into the chart at No. 19 with the indepedently-released Marginalia, the followup to their top 10 release from 2025, Recency Bias.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso, Freye Skye (Stardust at No. 21 via Hollywood Records\/UMA), Pink Floyd (8-Tracks at No. 22 via Legacy\/Sony), The Pretty Littles (Mulga Wire at No. 36 via CMI) and Vince Staples (Cry Baby at No. 37 via Universal) parachute into the top 40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia\u2019s love story with Taylor Swift continues, as \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d (via Republic\/Universal) opens at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[10004,43285,17979,7471,156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-473451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-aria","tag-bbcharts","tag-bbnews","tag-charts","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
