Don’t Know Joji? You Should Because His Album Just Hit #1 On The ARIA Charts

It's a big week on the charts.

Joji has scored his first-ever #1 album this weekend with his new album Nectar hitting the top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart. 

The Japanese-Australian artist is part of the 88Rising collective alongside acts like Rich Brian, Niki and more, and has previously peaked at #17 on the ARIA Albums Chart with his 2018 album, Ballads 1

Nectar is proving to be a success around the globe too, with Joji coming in at #3 on the US charts and #6 on the UK charts

It's an impressive week for new entries in the Albums Chart top 10 too, with Machine Gun Kelly's Tickets To My Downfall at #2, Deftones' Ohms at #3, Tasmania's Alpha Wolf's A Quiet Place To Die at #6 and IDLES' Ultra Mono at #7 (the album has also claimed the #1 on the Vinyl Chart). 


Sufjan Stevens' latest, The Ascension, debuts at #32 while Helen Reddy's Greatest Hits (And More) appears at #48 from #691 last week, following the passing of the legendary Australian artist

24kGoldn's Mood feat. Iann Dior has moved up to #1 from #2 last week, knocking Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's record-breaking track, WAPfrom the top spot.

There's only three new entries on the Singles Chart top 50 this week - Travis Scott's Franchise feat. Young Thug & MIA at #31, Sam Smith's Diamonds at #46 and salem ilese's Mad At Disney at #50 - but the week has seen Fleetwood Mac's classic Dreams re-enter the chart at #39 thanks to a viral TikTok video (and Mick Fleetwood has even shared his own take on the clip).
