AceShowbiz - Olivia Dean has once again proven her dominance by clinching the top spot on Australia’s singles chart, overcoming Harry Styles in a thrilling musical showdown. Meanwhile, the legendary metal band Megadeth has made waves on the national albums chart.

After an impressive 40-year career, Megadeth has achieved their first-ever No. 1 on the ARIA chart with their latest studio album, a self-titled collection that marks their 17th and final release. This milestone is a testament to their enduring appeal in the heavy metal genre.

Although Olivia Dean's album, The Art of Loving, holds strong at No. 2, it is noteworthy that it remained unchanged, indicating its sustained popularity. In fact, the album has finished as the highest-selling record on vinyl during the recent chart cycle.

Megadeth’s new album makes it the band’s 11th entry in the ARIA top 50, boasting three top 10 appearances in their extensive catalog. Previous top 10 records include Youthanasia (peaking at No. 9 in 1994), Dystopia (No. 6 in 2016), and The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead (No. 2 in 2022), showcasing their remarkable consistency over the decades.

Joining the ranks of chart-toppers is Louis Tomlinson, whose third solo album, How Did I Get Here?, has debuted at No. 3. This achievement keeps the British pop star's streak of solo top 10 albums alive, following the success of his first two releases, Walls and Faith In The Future.

Another notable entry is Poppy, whose new album Empty Hands has debuted at No. 7. This marks her first time breaking into the ARIA Top 50 Albums Chart, further establishing her presence in the music industry.

In the indie scene, The Paper Kites have made a strong showing with their album If You Go There, I Hope You Find It, debuting at No. 13. Hailing from Melbourne, the band has previously placed in the top 20 with their albums States and Twelvefour.

Close on their heels is EsDeeKid, who has made a mark with Rebel, landing at No. 14. This success is a significant transformation from their viral notoriety to tangible chart success.

Despite the fierce competition, Olivia Dean has continued to shine. Recently, she topped Triple J’s Hottest 100 countdown with her hit “Man I Need,” which has now maintained its position at No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for an impressive 11 consecutive weeks.

Meanwhile, Harry Styles made his return with "Aperture," which debuted at No. 2, marking his first new music in three years. The former One Direction member's latest release has certainly stirred excitement among fans.
