King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard member Cook Craig's solo project has dominated this week's ARIA Vinyls chart. 

Craig's Pipe-eye has taken out the top two spots with the extended version of 2015 debut Cosmic Blip and limited edition version of 2017's Laugh About Life respectively. 

The Pipe-eye debuts managed to hold Artic Monkeys' AM at #3 and Skegss' Rehearsal at #4 which debuted at #1 on the Albums chart last week.

The news comes a month after King Gizzard's 17th studio album, LW, debuted in the chart's top 40, with the vinyl of that record also expected to drop soon.


Meanwhile, Masked Wolf's global hit track Astronaut In The Ocean is now officially the biggest local song, climbing to #1 on the Australian Artist Singles chart, having placed at #2 the last four weeks.

As well as jumping up to #4 on the ARIA Singles chart, the 2019-released song (re-released this past January), has also pushed to #12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 this past week.

Aussie heavy metal outfit Lord have debuted at #54 on the Albums chart with their covers album, Undercovers Vol.1, which features takes on huge acts like John Farnham, Kylie Minogue and Savage Garden, with Darren Hayes even praising the band's cover of To The Moon & Back.

Finally, Justin Bieber has taken out top spot on both the Albums chart (Justice) and Singles chart (Peaches), marking the first time the Canadian pop star has achieved the feat in Australia.

Peaches hitting #1 pushes Glass Animals' Heat Waves back to #2 after it stayed on top for six straight weeks, equaling the 2021 record set by US artist Olivia Rodrigo's Driver's License.
