Harry Styles makes it three weeks at No.1 with his third album “Harry’s House” fending off competition from the new Post Malone album which lands at No.2.
“Harry’s House” is the first album since “30” by Adele to hold for more than two consecutive weeks at No.1 in Australia, while the album also remains at the top in New Zealand and Ireland (both third week), regains the top spot in England, and holds in both The U.S.A. and Canada (all second week). The album also retains the No.1 spot on the vinyl sales chart here and it also has two Top 10 singles this week in the now-former No.1 song “As it Was” (TW-2) and “Late Night Talking” drops to No.9.
Harry Styles moves up the listing for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Albums (1965 to 2022)’ from equal 110th to now equal 96th alongside three fellow British acts, Michael Crawford, David Bowie and Queen who’ve all racked up seven weeks at No.1 from three chart-topping albums., while for this decade Harry is now equal fourth alongside Drake’s five weeks from two No.1 Albums (during the 2020’s), while “Harry’s House” also now equals Harry’s second album “Fine Line” which spent three broken weeks at No.1 in Australia (1 week on December 23rd, 2019, and then two more weeks on January 6th and 13th of 2020).
The fourth studio album for rapper and singer Post Malone called “Twelve Carat Toothache” debuts at No.2 this week, becoming his fourth Top 5 album in Australia. The set arrives 144 weeks after his last album “Hollywood’s Bleeding” topped the charts for it’s initial first six weeks (from September 16th, 2019 {WI10-38}), with that album rebounding from No.59 to No.43 this week, while he first hit No.1 with “Beerbongs and Bentleys” for two broken weeks on May 7th and May 28th in 2018 (WI10-36), with his first release “Stoney” first hitting the Top 10 in October of 2017, eventually peaking at No.5 on the 12th of February, 2018 (WI10-17).
Post’s new album has topped the charts in Norway (so far) and landed at No.2 in New Zealand and The Netherlands, while it came in at No.3 in England, Ireland and Sweden. With the album charting so far on digital sales, streams and physical sales, it also has a deluxe edition issued this Friday (June 10th), but it is up against the new Vance Joy album for next week’s No.1 Album spot, while the ’12 Carat’ set has also landed four Top 50 entries this week in “I Like You (A Happier Song)” featuring Doja Cat at No.7, the album’s second issued single “Cooped Up” with Roddy Rich (23 to No.10 this week), “Wasting Angels” with Kid Laroi debuts at No.30 and the album’s first release “One Right Now” with The Weeknd (HP-9, TW-83 to No.42).

The band first charted with their second EP called “Butterfly” (HP-52, February 2018) and then their debut album “The Dark Pool” entered and peaked at No.20 in the first week of November, 2019, while their new album has landed at No.2 on this week’s vinyl sales chart.
