ONE FOR THE BELIEBERS
Justin Bieber clocks his twelfth Top 40 #1 (including as a featured artist), more than any other act. ‘DAISIES’ keeps Alex Warren at bay, although Warren makes up for it by topping the Hot Chart with ‘Eternity’, his third track to lead the Chart in 2025. It also lands at #5 on the Top 40 Singles Chart.
Fat Freddy’s Drop see the impressive, if bittersweet, return of seven albums to the Aotearoa Albums Chart, one week on from the passing of their legendary founder Mu a.k.a DJ Fitchie. Chris Ta'aloga Faiumu was laid to rest today, having had an inimitable impact on music fans and members of the music community alike.
Meanwhile, Black Sabbath’s Greatest Hits returns to the Top 40 after a gap of 12 years, following the departure of frontman Ozzy Osborne earlier this week. Elsewhere, Te Wehi returns to #1 on the Aotearoa Singles Chart with ‘Unaware’, and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack and Lorde’s Virgin remain at the top of the Top 40 and Aotearoa Albums Charts respectively.
