As National Tour Gets Underway, Olivia Dean’s ‘The Art Of Loving’ Returns to No. 1 on ARIA Chart

The British singer returns to No. 1 just days after the start of her six-date trans-Tasman tour.

British singer Olivia Dean’s sophomore album, "The Art Of Loving", has once again claimed the top spot on the ARIA Chart. In support of the album, Dean commenced a six-date trans-Tasman tour, opening with two shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on October 5th. The tour continues to Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland. The enduring popularity of Dean’s latest album has seen it remain in the top five for its 14th consecutive week.

ARIA reports that "The Art Of Loving" has been at the top since its debut last October, and previously held the position in late April.

Meanwhile, Australian rock group V.Spy V.Spy, in honor of their 40th anniversary, have returned to the ARIA Albums Chart with two new releases, both making their debut in the top 10. Harry’s Reasons from 1986 entered at No. 7, while 1987’s A.O Mod. TV. Vers climbed to No. 8. Drake's reissued album, HABIBTI, also re-entered the top 10, now at No. 10, following an expanded release with four new tracks.

West Australian rock band Old Mervs also secured a spot in the top 20 with their second album, Carparks, currently at No. 16. The album sees its debut at the same spot, while their self-titled 2025 debut peaked at No. 4. Indie artist Ella Hooper, a member of the band Killing Heidi, has also entered the top 50 with her third solo album, Overnight Success. It marks her first entry into the ARIA Top 50.
