Taylor Swift continues to dominate the Australian music scene, with her album "Midnights" holding the No. 1 spot on the ARIA Albums chart for a record-breaking 15 non-consecutive weeks. Swift also occupies the entire top 5 on the chart, a feat never achieved by any other artist. In fact, she holds seven of the top 10 positions, breaking her own record of six.

This achievement comes on the heels of Swift being named the IFPI Global Recording Artist for the fourth time, thanks to the success of her record-breaking The Eras Tour, which has boosted engagement with her entire catalog on streaming platforms.

One of the standout tracks from Swift's album "Lover," titled "Cruel Summer," has also climbed to the No. 1 spot on the ARIA Singles Chart. This marks Swift's 11th chart-topper in Australia, tying her with Madonna for the third most No. 1 singles in the country, behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley.

Meanwhile, Beyonce's country-infused track "Texas Hold ‘Em" has surged to No. 3 on the ARIA Singles Chart, marking her 16th top 10 solo or duet appearance in Australia.

In addition, Dua Lipa enters the chart at No. 12 with "Training Season," the lead single from her upcoming third album.

On the ARIA Albums Chart, Sydney indie duo Royel Otis debuts at No. 10 with "Pratts & Pain," marking a new career best for the pair following the success of their EP "Sofa Kings" in 2023. Royel Otis is currently touring Australia in support of the new album.
