Olivia Dean becomes the fourth act in 2025 to own the #1 spots on both the Singles and Album charts this week.
Her song Man I Need remains the top selling single for a fourth straight week, becoming the equal longest continual run #1 for Capitol Records this decade (matching Unholy for an initial four weeks from October 3rd, 2022, eventually six weeks in total), while the song's parent album The Art of Loving reclaims a second week as the top selling Album in the country, becoming her first dual occupation in Australia, the fourth for 2025 (Kendrick on February 17th, KPop Demon Hunters for six broken weeks from August 4th and Taylor Swift for six weeks from October 13th), while overall this is now the 150th time (since 1965, 104th for ARIA since 1983) that an act has held the top spots on both charts, and the first for an English Female artist since Adele on November 30th, 2015 (Hello and 25), who matches with Olivia Dean this week for four-weeks at #1 during this decade (equal 19th highest).
Olivia Dean also has two further Top 10 entries this week, with her second and third stable tracks being So Easy (to Fall in Love) at #6 and Nice to Each Other at its PEAK HOLD of #8 for a third straight week. Olivia's dual occupation is nothing new to her, as she has held the top spot on both New Zealand charts for seven weeks now, the song Man I Need is their #1 song for an eleventh week now and The Art of Loving for a seventh stay. With further overseas entries for Man I Need declining (due to the Xmas influx) in The Netherlands (#4), Belgium (#5) England (#7), Canada (#8), Ireland (#9), The U.S.A. (#12), Portugal (#16), Singapore (#17), Luxembourg (#18), South Africa, Switzerland (both #19), Sweden (#25) and Germany (#38).
Six of the Top 10 songs are on hold this week (no Xmas influx this year, it's all happening within the On Replay Singles chart nowadays, see below for more info), and something of another chart anomaly, in that the #2 and #3 positions are also matching on both charts too, with The Fate of Ophelia for Taylor Swift at #2 for a fourth straight week (The Life of a Showgirl dips one spot to #2) and at #3 for an ninth straight week is HUNTR/X with Golden, matching the #3 on-hold position of it's parent album, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack (check out the LP info in the next section to find out when this previously occurred). These two tracks have fewer #1 spots overseas due to the many older Xmas tunes rising there, but Ophelia remains the top seller in Canada (9th week) and Golden is at the top in Malaysia (returns for a 16th week) and Singapore (19th week), and is at #2 in Hong Kong.
The sixth and final stable entry within the Top 40 sees Alex Warren's Ordinary remaining at #4 for a second week, while the track scores its 44th week within the Top 10, five of which it has occupied the #4 spot. The fourth other entries here all swap places with each other, starting with a two-place rise to #5 for the #1 Dance Single by Disco Lines with Tinashe and No Broke Boys (half-a-year charted; 26 weeks) and a two-spot dip to #7 for RAYE's WHERE IS MY HUSBAND? (#1 Hip Hop/R&B Single). The other two are swap-around's at #9 and #10, with current tourist sombr up one spot to #9 with 12 to 12, while last week's new/returned/redone entry for HVN. feat. Kaitlin Aragon on I Run dips one spot to #10.
TOP 20: Three major tours started here last week, with sombr beginning his last Friday, with all three of his Top 20 entries rising back up this week, his outer-Top 10 placements see back to friends up one to #11 and Undressed rises three spots to #13. Lady Gaga began her run of shows here last Thursday, and her 69-week running duet with Bruno Mars rebounds back into the Top 20 for the first time since July 7th, as Die With a Smile jumps up eight places to land at #18 (her first of two Top 50 entries this week). Plus she also has two debuts within the On Replay Singles chart too; Poker Face at #28 and Just Dance at #45.
JB's DAISIES are firmly planted at #15 for a third week, with smaller rises seen by Love Me Not for Ravyn Lenae (up two to #17) and Victory Lap for Fred Again.. (up one to #19, he issued his new set USB002 on Friday). Moving down one-spot each are Opalite for Taylor Swift and Beautiful Things for Benson Boone to #12 and #14 respectively, while Saja Boys' Soda Pop deflates two spots to #16 and Olivia Dean drops three to #20 for A Couple of Minutes...
TOP 30: ...while Olivia also has two songs moving down within the Top 30, Baby Steps walks back two spots to #24 and Let Alone the One You Love falls three to #28. Tate McRae's TIT FOR TAT falls five places to #23 and the only non-mover here is at #21 for A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey.
With the Spotify Wrapped for 2025 hitting people's accounts last week, this has seen a rise in older entries as people replay their yearly titles. This effect is seen with year-long hits by Gracie Abrams and That's So True (up eleven to #25), THE DAYS - NOTION Remix for Chrystal (up ten to #27, one-year; 52 weeks charted) and APT. for Rosé and Bruno Mars (up nine to #30).
Smaller rises are seen by BIRDS OF A FEATHER for Billie Eilish (up one to #22) and Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter (up three to #26), while a massive sixty-six place jump lands the Lady Gaga track Abracadabra back within the Top 30 (95 to #29) thanks to her new national tour here, while...
TOP 40: ...the new Kendrick Lamar tour began last Wednesday, which helps his three-week #2 peaking entry (Feb 24th to March 10th, 2025) luther to regain a Top 50 berth and jump up eighteen places to land at #37 (LW #55, WI100-55), the first of two such entries for the U.S. performer.
Only one NEW PEAK within the entire Top 50 this week, as last week's climb-into-the-50 for Tyla and CHANEL is this week up nine places to #31 (#35 debut in NZ, #94 entry in Germany, new peak in UK #61 and Canada #60), with another 'Best of 2025' track rising nine spots for Lola Young's Messy to #34, while smaller rises are seen by I Had Some Help for Post Malone and Morgan Wallen (up two to #33) and Sports Car for Tate McRae (up five to #36).
There are three more (five in total) entries here from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, with two of them falling five places each; Your Idol for Saja Boys (to #32) and How it's Done by HUNTR/X (to #39), while the other HUNTR/X entry here is What it Sounds Like (down seven to #35), while two more songs also fall seven places each; Gabriela for KATSEYE and Dracula for Tame Impala (#1 Australian Artists Single) to #38 and #40 respectively.
TOP 50: Kendrick Lamar's two-week February #1 single Not Like Us also returns to the Top 50 this week thanks to his current tour here, the song leaps twenty-four spots to claim the #49 spot. Further rises here are seen by Gigi Perez's Sailor Song (up nine to #48), Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan (up six to #42), Too Sweet by Hozier (up four to #46) and single place rises for Bad Dreams by Teddy Swims and Espresso for Sabrina Carpenter to #44 and #45 respectively.
Tate McRae's third and final Top 50 entry this week sees her F1 The Movie theme Just Keep Watching race down nine places to land at #41 (none of her newer tracks are in the Top 50 this week), while last week's #30 peak for EsDeeKid with Phantom is this week back down thirteen spots to haunt the #43 position. The two final songs falling here both move down three places each for Tears by Sabrina Carpenter (to #47) and Folded by Kehlani (to #50).
NO NEW ENTRIES.
XMAS TIDINGS: With all the Xmas action happening over in the On Replay Singles Chart nowadays, here's a quick wrap up of what's charting here and overseas.

Olivia Dean regains the #1 Australian Album spot with The Art of Loving scoring a second overall stay as the top seller locally.
The Art of Loving debuted at #1 eleven weeks ago on October 6th (also #1 Vinyl that week too), and now it regains a second week (No.4 Vinyl), having never dropped below #4 in the past three months, while the set regained a second week at #1 in England last week (TWUK #2), she also sees a dual occupation in New Zealand (7th week), along with high placings overseas in The Netherlands (also #2), Ireland (#3, LW #1 for a sixth week), Canada (#6) The U.S.A. (#8) along with a rebound in Germany (37 to #21). Her recent visit here, the three Top 10 singles and six overall Top 50 singles (plus three entries in the On Replay Singles chart at #11, #16 and #42) all give Olivia the 150th duopoly in Australian chart history (104th for ARIA), while another chart-feat is achieved this week too.
That being the Top 3 Singles and Albums match artists this week, with Olivia Dean at #1, Taylor Swift at #2 and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack at #3, a first that could be found, with the last time this happened being a Top 2 duopoly in December of 2003 for Guy Sebastain at #1 and Delta Goodrem at #2 (singles chart, LP chart Dec. 15th, 2003), prior to which we had a close occurrence in the first week of August in 1988 where the Top 3 acts almost matched, same acts both in the Top 3, just slightly different positions, with John Farnham at #1 on both charts, but Kylie at #3 singles and #2 LP, Crowded House as the #2 single and #3 Album (singles chart, LP chart August 1st, 1988) {thanks to I.E. for finding this info for me}.
Swapping places with Olivia is Taylor Swift with The Life of a Showgirl (W@#1 seven) dipping one spot from last week to land at #2 (No.7 Vinyl), while on hold at #3 is the soundtrack for KPop Demon Hunters, with Taylor regaining the #1 spot in The U.S.A. (8th overall week), holding the top spot in Canada (9th consecutive week) and highly placed in New Zealand (#3), England, Ireland, Germany and The Netherlands (all #4). Plus with Taylor's new five-part doco series dropping its first two episodes on Friday, it could propel her back to the top next week.
Debuting at #4 (No.2 Vinyl, #1 Australian Artists Album Chart) is the expanded edition of Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped), with the set having last charted in 2024 (#75, Jan. 1st) and prior to that Dec. 5th, 2016 (#30), and it's initial entry on Nov. 23rd, 2015 (HP-7, WI10-3). Lead single from the new set called XMAS is up to a new peak of #24 in England while the album becomes her 11th UK #1 Album this week, also landing at the top in Scotland, #10 in Belgium, #40 in Ireland and #47 in The Netherlands.
The three major touring acts in the country at the moment all see Top 10 berths this week, two of which leap back into the ten, starting with Lady Gaga and her MAYHEM set (up twelve to #5, No.5 Vinyl), while her older entries of The Fame (#1) and Born This Way (#13) debut within the On Replay Albums Chart this week too. Kendrick Lamar cracks one-year-charted (52 weeks) for his GNX set (debuted at #1 on Dec. 2nd, 2024) which leaps up fourteen places to #7 (No.1 Vinyl, #1 Hip Hop.R&B Album), plus he also has two On Demand entries in DAMN. (45 to #34) and Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City (50 to #38).
Sabrina Carpenter's two albums both dip two places each, with Man's Best Friend moving to #6 (No.6 Vinyl) and Short N' Sweet dipping to #9 (No.11 Vinyl), with the last two entries being Tate McRae and SO CLOSE TO WHAT??? down three to #8 and the third and final major tourist in the Top 10 is sombr with I Barely Knew Her, down one spot to #10, while he has three entries on the singles chart at #9 (12 to 12), #11 (back to friends) and #13 (Undressed).
TOP 20: The three Top 10 dropouts all land within the Top 20 this week, with Alex Warren also cracking one-year (52 weeks) charted with You'll Be Alright, Kid (HP-2, WI10-20) dropping four to #12, followed by the Wicked: For Good soundtrack (HP-1, WI10-2) falling seven to #13 (No.16 Vinyl), while Tyler, the Creator sees a six place fall to #16 with CHROMAKOPIA (HP-1x2, WI10-7).
BRAT for Charli XCX is the only climbing album here, up four places to land at #20, while a second six-place dive here occurs for Ed Sheeran's Play (to #19), while three-place drops are seen by HIT ME HARD & SOFT for Billie Eilish and I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen (#1 Country Album) to #14 and #15 respectively, plus two-spot dips for both Gracie Arbams' The Secret of Us (to #17) and The Tortured Poets Department (to #18) for Taylor Swift.
TOP 30: Sam Fender saw an expanded edition of his album People Watching issued last week (from 11 to now 19 tracks), which now includes his latest single I'm Always on Stage, his Olivia Dean duet Rein Me in and Elton John collaboration Talk to You. The set, which debuted at #17 on March 3rd, is this week up twenty-two places to its second highest chart position of #24.
Five place rises are seen by Think Later for Tate McRae (to #21) and Even in Arcadia by Sleep Token (to #26), while Addison for Addison Rae rises six (to #30), with small steps upwards seen by eternal sunshine for Ariana Grande (up two to #23), Kansas Anymore for ROLE MODEL (up one to #28, HP-27) and KARMA for Stray Kids (up one to #29). The two dropping sets are Tame Impala with Deadbeat (down three to #25) and the original Wicked soundtrack (falls eight to #27).
TOP 40: Recent multi-ARIA Award winner Ninajarachi sees her set I Love My Computer score a second ever week within the Top 50 this week, as it initially debuted at #18 (August 18th) and now this week it leaps up forty-seven places to claim the #38 spot. Further double-digit rises are seen by Doechii's mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal (57 to #35), The Boy Who Played Harp for Dave (55 to #36), and scoring a third-ever Top 50 berth are Parcels with LOVED (up fifteen to #39).
Justin Bieber's SWAG I + II rebounds eight places to #31, Laufey's A Matter of Time (#1 Jazz/Blues Album) climbs seven to #40, with the smallest rise here being a four-place move back to #33 for Jessie Murph's Sex Hysteria. Only three albums move down here, The 5SOS four week old set EVERYONE'S A STAR (down five to #32), West End Girl by Lily Allen (dips three to #37) and hickey for Royel Otis (down one to #34).
TOP 50: There are only three non-movers within the entire Top 50 this week, with the second and third located in this chart region, Love Balloon for Ocean Alley at #43 and a stable Virgin for Lorde at #48. Spacey Jane jump back into the Top 50 at #50 (LW #64) with If That Makes Sense, with three further climbing sets here for Charm by Clairo (up three to #41), $ome $exy $ongs 4 U by PartyNextDoor and Drake (up six to #44) and Hurry Up Tomorrow for The Weeknd (up seven to #46).
Dropping down are Paul Kelly's Seventy (down four to #45), F-1 Trillion for Post Malone (down two to #47) and a seventeen place slump to #49 for the Doja Cat Vie set. Departing from last week Top 50 from high lofty locations were sets by Pierce Brothers (#14), Jemma Stiles (#18), Madonna (#20), These New South Whales (#23) and Dellacoma (#28).
FURTHER NEW ENTRIES: * #4 (Xmas#1.3) - Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) - Kylie Minogue (Parlophone)
* #11 (Live#1) - Live from Glastonbury (A BBC Recording) - Olivia Dean (Geffen/Interscope) lands at No.3 on the Vinyl chart and is the first live set for the American singer/songwriter, recorded when she headlined the Glastonbury Festival on June 29th, 2025. The 20 track set also features two covers of The Cure songs with lead singer Robert Smith (Friday I'm in Love and Just Like Heaven), while also landing entries overseas in Scotland (#3), The Netherlands (#9), England (#12), Belgium (#13), Austria (#14), Germany (#15) and Ireland (#27).
* #22 (Live#5) - Live God - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (Play it Again Sam) No.19 on the Vinyl Sales chart, this double album was recorded across Europe between September and November of 2024, with their show at the Accor Arena in Paris being the last show, many of which the songs are taken from. The 18 track set is the band's fifth Live Album and second to chart, as Live Seeds made it to #47 in 1993, with the album also scoring overseas entries in Scotland, Belgium (both #7), Austria (#9), Germany (#14), The Netherlands (#22), England (#33) and Ireland (#53).
* #42 (LP#4) - GHOST WORLD - Alison Wonderland (EMI Australia) is the fourth album and entry for the Australian EDM DJ and singer, and her first to miss out on a Top 10 berth, as she previously charted with Run (LP#1, HP #6, March 2015), Awake (LP#2, HP #7, April 2018) and her last was Loner (LP#3, HP #9, May 2022).

New Albums coming this week from: * 21 Savage * Polo G (new edition) * Nas and DJ Premier * Boy & Bear * Juliana Hatfield * Fred Again.. * Lord of the Lost * Conway the Machine * HEALTH * Volumes * FLO * This is Loelei * Andy Bell (box set) * Snow the Product
The amount of Christmas songs on the On Replay singles chart has gone from 1, to 3, to 13... to 13. No changes this week, but Bobby Helms and Ariana Grande climb to #4 and #5 to make an all-Christmas top 5, Kelly Clarkson climbs to #10, and Dean Martin's "Let It Snow!" goes from being the 12th-highest Christmas song to the 9th-highest. In between, "End Of Beginning" by Djo also climbs to #9.
Lady Gaga is currently touring in Australia, and Poker Face debuts at #28! I thought Just Dance would be close behind since it had spent 3 weeks in the On Replay top 50 not long ago, but it only re-enters at #45. I also thought Bad Romance would be close behind because its current global Spotify plays are 90% as much as Just Dance, but although it did pop into the Spotify top 200 a couple times this week, it's not there today (Shallow and Always Remember Us This Way are, though).
Snowman climbs to #1 on the Australian version (while Thunderstruck actually re-overtakes Don't Dream It's Over for #2). We Are The People still has not re-appeared (is this my new "Someday is still in"?). I find it mildly interesting that Stumblin' In (CYRIL) has climbed every week since spawning into the chart (27-26-22-17). Innerbloom falls beneath You Were Right and On My Knees. How To Make Gravy is the one debut this week (at #40). Maybe next week for Santa's Coming For Us? Interestingly, Candy Cane Lane (another song from Sia's 2017 Christmas album) is currently doing 73% as much as Santa's Coming For Us on global Spotify plays, so it should probably end up appearing here too, if it gets tracked. Joker & The Thief sadly drops out, ending its very consistent run in the 40s (44-43-49-43-47-44-45-42-41-45-41-46-42-42).
Lady Gaga's tour is enough to push The Fame (Monster) to #1 on the On Replay albums chart, ahead of Michael Bublé! Born This Way debuts at #13 too, and it's a debut not only to the On Replay albums chart, but to the catalogue albums chart altogether. I don't know whether it's from streaming or, say, just happens to be being sold at her concerts, but I'm glad to see it No other Lady Gaga albums are there. Fred again..'s "USB" climbs to #10.
Ball Park Music have reissued all their albums on vinyl, I think (if you bought the bundle of 7 albums for $450 (!) - and it's sold-out, so some people must have - would that count as an individual sale for all 7?). All 7 of their pre-2025 albums debut on the Australian albums On Replay chart, led by their 2011 debut album at #2 (it's also #10 on the overall vinyl albums chart), while their 2016 album places lowest at #26. Troye Sivan's 2020 7-track "concept EP" enters at #10 due to a 5th-anniversary vinyl release. "Aussie Christmas With Bucko & Champs" enters at #45. They released it in seemingly-1995 (or 1994?) and it charted at #71 in 1996 (certified gold in January 1997) and #39 in 1997, then released a 2nd volume that charted at #67 in 1998 (certified platinum in January 2000). A box-set of both volumes was released in seemingly-2000 and made #4 on the Hitseekers albums chart (which they shouldn't have been eligible for) in 2004; the box-set was reissued in 2011 (with a few new songs and a re-structured tracklist that attempts to fit both original albums on one disc, but doesn't quite get there), and the 2011 release charted in 2017, reaching #2 on the Hitseekers albums chart. The catalogue number of this week's entry is for the 2011 release (which should be accurate as, upon searching it, that's what JB Hi-Fi are selling - also, it appears to have gotten publicity on "A Current Affair" this week for their "Aussie Jingle Bells" turning 30 - and actually, that sent it, the 2011 release, to #1 on the iTunes albums chart for 1 day, last Friday).
"So Fresh: Best Of 2025" is still stuck at #2 on the compilations chart!
The closest I can think of are John Farnham, Crowded House and Kylie occupying the Top 3 of both singles and albums charts for 2 weeks in August 1988 with Age Of Reason / Better Be Home Soon / Got To Be Certain and Age Of Reason / Kylie / Temple Of Low Men but not in the same order, unlike this week.
Otherwise, Guy sebastian and Delta Goodrem were Top 2 that very same week in 2003, in the same order with Angels Brought Me Here / Predictable and Just As I Am / Innocent Eyes. Last edited:
