"Golden" is #1 for a 3rd week. I'm constantly thinking that the KPop Demon Hunters Honmoon will have been achieved and it'll start declining, but I'm constantly wrong, as the soundtrack hits continue to worm themselves up into the tightest possible upper bounds of the chart. Of interest this week, the two Saja Boys entries have swapped ranks, so while their historic final peaks may have the final say in what was the biggest, it does reflect an arbitrary scenario that says more about their competition than anything else. Perhaps it'll have to be TWICE as our barometer for momentum given theirs is most easy to observe. Something that also helps is that we have achieved what I believe to be a never-been-seen level of equilibrium. This week's top 10, top 30, and unbelievably top 50 are all unchanged from last week, meaning that it's never been easier for me to type up the chart. It's a moment of silliness I'm going to appreciate before the incoming chart rules in 2 weeks time turn any wacky chart instances into something slightly less earned. If we're being honest, it'll probably increase the chance of this happening again.

KPop Demon Hunters returns to post a 5th week at #1 on the album chart. If you thought the singles chart was boring, then I hope you appreciate an album chart with 8 new entries this week. The first of those is from Guy Sebastian, who is not actually quite as old as the album title might make you believe. I've often felt like Sony are hesitant to release new albums from their big tickets when they don't have a hit attached to them, which might be why it's taken 5 years for a new album. Maybe they'll appreciate that he's still debuting as high as he would when he was scoring chart topping hits, as this is his 12th top 10 album, and the 5th to land in the top 2. mgk continues to run on the goodwill he earnt some years ago to debut in the top 3 for the 3rd time in a row, now he's gotten a #1, #2 & #3. Fresh from being voted as having made two of the top 10 best Australian songs of all time ("Flame Trees" & "Khe Sanh", look them up, classics), Cold Chisel have yet another chance for everyone to buy these same songs again as their live album for last year's tour enters at #4. Fresh from some more dumb internet discourse, Ethel Cain is entering at #5 for the second time in 4 months, this time with an actual new album. Next we have an actual first time charter from Ninajirachi. Not to be confused with her label boss Nina Las Vegas, it's been nearly a decade since she popped up as a finalist in triple j's Unearthed High competition, and her eclectic and curious debut album arrives in the top 20. I'm now learning that BABYMETAL's 2023 release is not considered in-house to be a studio album, which might explain why it got lost in the shuffle and didn't chart here, but it does allow the puns to relish, and also mean that they've only charted in Australia with their albums whose names start with 'Metal'. Or maybe the real difference is that it was released when they were in-between major label signings. I dunno, I just like the music. JID does an Ethel Cain in that he peaks at #42 for the second time in a row. There's still enough of a Good Charlotte following in Australia to get them to sneak into the top 50. Maybe that seems surprising, but maybe it's more strange that they had a #1 album two cycles ago. I heard one of their new songs when I was getting an Uber from the airport a few weeks ago, that's my anecdote.
