It’s a third week at No.1 for the third Post Malone studio album “Hollywood’s Bleeding”, becoming now his longest running chart-topping album in Australia.
“Hollywood’s Bleeding” is also at the top again in New Zealand, America and Canada (2nd week in all locales), and it increases the tally of weeks Post Malone has now racked up to five in total (2 for his previous No.1 album and now three for this new one), moving him from equal 140th to now equal 120th on the list for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1: Albums; 1965 to 2019’ alongside other acts such as Cliff Richard, Michael Bolton, Diesel, Green Day, il Divo, Jack Johnson and Shannon Noll (all five weeks from 2 #1 LP’s). And on the similar listing for this decade he moves from equal 18th to now equal eleventh alongside Olivia Newton-John and John Farnham’s same tally.
Taylor Swift logs a fourth week at No.2 for her “Lover” set, while rebounding one place to No.3 is another former chart-topper in the Ed Sheeran duets set “No.6 Collaborations Project”. Also rising back up within the Top 10 is the Tones and I EP “The Kids are Coming” (6 to No.5) and Billie Eilish with “When We All Fall Asleep…” (8 to No.6). The only one of last weeks Top 10 debuts to land a second week within the ten is the Ruel EP “Free Time”, which falls five places to No.8, while returning to the Top 10 is Elton John’s “Diamond” (13 to No.9, 16th week within the Top 10) and “Free Spirit” by Khalid (15 to No.10, 15th week within T10).
There are two new entries to the Top 10 this week, coming in at No.4 is officially the eighth studio album for Blink-182 called “Nine”, which if you include the band’s initial independent album, this would technically be their ninth album (according to the band). Thus this becomes the bands tenth albums chart entry (8 studios, 1 Live, 1 GH’s) and also it becomes their seventh consecutive Top 10 album since their first in 1999. The second and final Top 10 entry this week is the new U.K. No.1 album and the second issued for former co-founder of Oasis in Liam Gallagher with “Why Me? Why Not”, entering here at No.7, which is higher than his debut set “As You Were” (HP-9) achieved in mid-October of 2017.
