Harry Styles reclaims the No.1 ARIA Albums spot with his second album “Fine Line” thanks to the exodus of seasonal titles from the chart, thus ringing up a second week at the top.

“Fine Line” also hold at the top in America for a second week and now becomes the first No.1 album of the 2020’s (but NOT the first NEW No.1 yet), and with it claiming a second week at the top it surpasses the single week that his self-titled debut set achieved in May of 2017, that set is sitting at No.73 this week.

After jumping back into the Top 10 last week the re-packaged Billie Eilish debut album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” is up a further two places to No.2 this week, followed by a four place rise to No.3 for the soundtrack to the film “Frozen 2”, while a bigger leap of six places occurs at No.4 as the Ed Sheeran duets set “No.6 Collaborations Project” rebounds from No.10 to No.4.

The trio of Travis Scott, Don Toliver and Sheck Wes call themselves JACKBOYS, with their self titled album debuting at No.5 this week (thanks to a digital release in the last week of 2019), with four of the seven tracks from the album charting this week, which includes Travis’ latest chart entry in “Highest in the Room” remixed on the album. The new entry also debuts at No.5 in New Zealand and lands at No.1 in Norway and at No.10 in Sweden (so far).

Post Malone rebounds back up the chart twelve places to land at No.6 with his third album in “Hollywood’s Bleeding” for an overall fourteenth week within the Top 10, after which is the Tones and I debut EP “The Kids are Coming” (9 to No.7) and then two more returning albums to the T10 in “Lover” by Taylor Swift (13 to No.8, 15th week in the T10) and thanks to his current national tour Elton John’s collection “Diamonds” is back up three spots to No.9 for a twelfth overall week inside of the Top 10.
