Illy Scores Second #1 Aussie Album With 'The Space Between'

Staff Writer

Back to back!

Aussie hip hop artist Illy has scored his second straight #1 album with The Space Between. 

The Victorian rapper's sixth record has debuted at top spot on this week's ARIA Albums chart and follows 2016's Two Degrees which also hit #1 following its release.

The Space Between is now the first local album to hit #1 on the ARIA chart in 2021. 


The debut comes after Illy's track with G Flip, Loose Ends, came in at #95 on Saturday's Hottest 100.

On the Singles chart, US singer Olivia Rodrigo has stayed on top with her global hit, Driver's License, for a second-straight week, just ahead of Sydney rapper The Kid LAROI's Without You at #2.
