The weekly ARIA charts have seen a massive swing this week - with two new releases making their debut in the top positions.

The massive new album from US rapper Lil Nas X - Montero - has taken the #1 spot for albums, with his single Industry Baby (featuring Jack Harlow) staying strong at #4 in the singles chart. 

This comes just days after the Old Town Road singer made waves online with his Dolly Parton cover version.

Meanwhile, singing sister duo Vika & Linda have made a huge debut with their seventh studio album The Wait. Their first full length LP of original music in fifteen years, it marks two albums in a row hitting the #2 spot, following the success of their covers album Sunday (The Gospel According to Iso) last year.

Canadian metalcore monoliths Spiritbox have claimed their first ever top ten ARIA spot, thanks to their new album Eternal Blue. Over on the singles board, The Kid LAROI has held on his top spot alongside Justin Bieber for their tune Stay. It marks a mammoth 11 weeks at #1, joining the ranks of Spice Girls' Wannabe and The Weeknd's Blinding Lights - which also stayed at the top for the same amount of time.

The singles chart also saw a top 20 debut for Willow (aka Willow Smith) side project The Anxiety with their track Meet Me At Our Spot climbing up to #17 (up ten places from last week). It marks the highest ARIA position for the singer since she reached #18 with Whip My Hair a full decade ago.
