KPop Demon Hunters Return to Slay the ARIA Albums Chart Once Again

After just one week away from the top spot, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has made its return to the No. 1 position on the ARIA Albums Chart once again.

In early August, the soundtrack marked its fourth consecutive week spent in the No. 1 position, becoming the longest-running chart-topping album from an animated film since Trolls led for three weeks back in 2017.

After a week spent at No. 2 to allow Adelaide hip-hop outfit the Hilltop Hoods the chance to receive their seventh chart-topping album, the soundtrack has once again resumed its familiar position, marking a total of five non-consecutive weeks at the top of the podium.

The top end of the chart is rounded out by a handful of new releases, with 100 Times Around the Sun – the latest record from the 2003 Australian Idol winner, Guy Sebastian – sitting at No. 2, while MGK’s Lost Americana follows behind.

Cold Chisel take up the No. 4 spot with their The Big Five-O Live set, and Ethel Cain sits at No. 5 with Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You. For the former, it’s their tenth live collection to make the charts.

Only a handful of other new releases can be found in the remainder of the top 50, including Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer at No. 18, Babymetal’s Metal Forth at No. 30, JIID’s God Does Like Ugly at No. 42 and Good Charlotte’s Motel Du Cap at No. 47.

Over on the Singles Chart, the tune is rather familiar, with five of the top ten tracks found on the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, including the No. 1 track “Golden,” which celebrates its third week atop the chart.

The top ten does feature a few different faces though, including Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary,” Justin Bieber’s “Daisies,” and Disco Lines and Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys” in the Nos. 2-4 positions, respectively. Sombr’s “Back to Friends” sits at No. 8, while Chappell Roan’s “The Subway” rounds out the top ten.

Elsewhere, the remainder of the top 50 is all but a reshuffling of last week’s positions, with no new entries to be found in the chart at all.
