Olivia Dean proves unstoppable on the ARIA Charts, as “Man I Need” holds at No. 1 on the singles tally and The Art Of Loving returns to the summit of the albums list.
“Man I Need” enters a 14th week atop the ARIA Singles Chart; while “So Easy (To Fall In Love)” holds at No. 2 for a third week; “Where Is My Husband!” improves 5-4; and “Rein Me In,” her duet with fellow British artist Sam Fender, enters the top 10 for the first time, up 14-6. That’s Fender’s highest position on singles chart, beating his No. 57 last year for “Homesick,” a duet with Noah Kahan.
Tame Impala’s “Dracula” is the only homegrown recording on ARIA Top 50 Singles Chart, down 22-23. No new releases bother the latest frame, published Friday, Feb. 20.
Dean’s domination extends to the ARIA Albums Chart, as The Art Of Loving returns to the top spot for a ninth non-consecutive cycle. The English singer and songwriter’s sophomore album had been dethroned for a week, to make way for Karnivool’s comeback album In Verses. This week, In Verses dips 1-9.
The top release belongs to Keli Holiday, as Capital Fiction flashes into the chart at No. 3. It’s the second album and first chart appearance by Holiday, the solo project of Adam Hyde, founding member of Australian electronic music duo Peking Duk. Holiday opened the 2025 ARIA Awards with Capital Fiction cut “Dancing2” and went on to win best video for the same track.
Also making a dent on the latest chart is Charli xcx’s Wuthering Heights, new at No. 4. It’s the best selling album of the week in Australia on vinyl, according to ARIA. Wuthering Heights is the soundtrack to Emerald Fennell’s movie of the same name (based on Emily Bronte’s masterpiece of Gothic romance), starring Aussie actors Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. That hot start gives Charli her fourth top 10 in these parts, following Charli (No. 7 in 2019), Crash (No. 1 in 2022) and her most recent effort, BRAT (No. 1 in 2024).
Finally, Kylie Minogue bags another top 40 hit thanks to the release of Tension Tour/Live 2025 on CD and vinyl. The live collection peaked at No. 58 last September, but its physical release powers a return to the chart at No. 14, for Kylie’s 23rd top 20 appearance, a career tally that includes nine leaders.
