Playboi Carti Scores First No. 1 on ARIA Albums Chart

Playboi Carti has landed his first-ever No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart with Music, the rapper’s third studio album and most ambitious release to date.

The 30-track project not only marks his first chart-topper in Australia, but also his first entry into the ARIA top 10, following previous peaks at No. 49 with Die Lit (2018) and No. 15 with Whole Lotta Red (2020).

Music features an all-star lineup of guest collaborators, including Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Future, Young Thug, and Jhené Aiko, adding to the hype that’s surrounded the long-anticipated release.

Over on the Singles Chart, Doechii rises to No. 1 with “Anxiety,” marking her first-ever chart-topper in Australia. The viral hit samples Gotye and Kimbra’s 2011 smash “Somebody That I Used To Know,” which itself spent eight weeks at No. 1. Doechii also places at No. 23 with “Denial Is A River,” and is featured on Sleepy Hallow’s version of “A N X I E T Y,” currently at No. 41.

Australian singer-songwriter Mia Wray makes an impressive debut, landing at No. 26 on the albums chart with her first full-length release Hi, It’s Nice To Meet Me.

The Melbourne-based artist, who won the People’s Choice Award in the 2012 Telstra Road To Discovery program, has previously toured with acts like Vance Joy, The Rubens, The Teskey Brothers, and Maisie Peters.

Elsewhere on the Singles Chart, Alex Warren jumps into the top 5 for the first time as “Ordinary” rockets up the chart. Chappell Roan also continues her breakout run with “The Giver,” debuting strong, while her earlier single “Pink Pony Club” hits a new peak this week.
