ARIA Charts: Louis Tomlinson faces off with Bruce Springsteen in the battle of the debuts

Taylor Swift continues her hold on the #1 in the Singles Chart for a fourth week with Anti-Hero, while Australian Idol judge-to-be Meghan Trainor’s Made You Look reaches a new chart peak at #7. 

The highest ranking Australian single is How Do I Say Goodbye, the track Dean Lewis wrote for his father after a cancer diagnosis, coming in at #22. 

Louis Tomlinson’s Faith In The Future beats out Bruce Springsteen’s Only The Strong Survive on this week’s ARIA Albums Chart, while home-grown favourites and five-time nominees at this year’s ARIA Awards, King Stingray, make a welcome return to the top 10.  

The second solo album from the former One Direction member, Faith In The Future bags a #2 debut, an ARIA peak after his first album, Walls, reached #6 in 2020. The other major debut of the week, Bruce Springsteen’s 21st album Only The Strong Survive, reaches #4. The Boss has previously had five ARIA #1 albums. 

With just under a week before the 2022 ARIA Awards officially kick off at the Hordern Pavilion on Gadigal land, Yolŋu indie-rockers King Stingray break into the top 10 albums at #8 with last month’s eponymous album King Stingray. 

The band also reach #1 on the Australian Albums Chart and is nominated for Album of the Year, Best Group, Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist, Best Rock Album and Best Cover Art at this year’s awards.
