ARIA ALBUMS CHART
Taylor still rules the Albums chart, despite being ousted over on the Singles chart (more on that later), with the top 5 placements, and four more albums in the Top 20.
The highest debut on the charts during a quiet release week was Aussie funk band Mildlife who debuted at #36 with their third album, Chorus.

ARIA SINGLES CHART
Benson Boone comes from American Idol and is described on his wikipage as an “American singer-songwriter, rollerblader and multi-instrumentalist”. He is also number one in Australia this week, with his song Beautiful Things toppling Taylor Swift’s Cruel Summer, which has slipped to #3, allowing Beyonce’s not-at-all calculated move into country music to jump to #2.
Not a single new song debuted in the Top 50 this week – Murder On The Dancefloor is still hanging around though, at #31.
