This latest release from the singer-songwriter, following her debut album \"You’ll Be Alright, Kid,\" which peaked at No. 2 last year, has soared to 11-5 on the latest ARIA Chart published on September 4. The collection, which includes the hit \"Ordinary,\" has held the No. 4 position on the national singles chart for 2025. Currently, Warren is touring Australia as part of his \"Finding Family on the Road World Tour 2026,\" supported by Frontier Touring. Meanwhile, renowned Australian musician Paul Kelly has claimed the second position on the ARIA Chart with his album \"Seventy,\" which debuted at No. 2 following the release of its deluxe edition. Kelly, an 16-time ARIA Award winner, was honored with induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1997, the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music at the 2011 APRA Music Awards, and appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2017 Australia Day Honours. He addressed the 2026 BIGSOUND conference in Brisbane on September 1.
