Noah Kahan has fought off some tough competition to secure his first-ever No. 1 Australian album.
The US songwriter’s fourth album, The Great Divide, has beaten out Foo Fighters‘ Your Favorite Toy and Australian favourites The Amity Affliction‘s House of Cards to take out top spot on the ARIA Albums and Vinyl Albums chart.
Though Kahan’s last LP, Stick Season, did eventually spend three weeks at No. 1 in early 2024, it debuted at No. 6 following its release in October 2022.
Kahan will head to Australia and New Zealand later this year in support of the album.
Meanwhile, The Amity Affliction’s House of Cards has debuted at No. 4 on the ARIA Albums chart and No. 2 on the Vinyl Albums list.
It’s The Amity Affliction’s eight top 10 album in a row: Let The Ocean Take Me (No. 1 in 2014), This Could Be The Heartbreak (No. 1 in 2016), Misery (No. 1 in 2018), Everyones Loves You…Once You Leave Them (No. 2 in 2020) and Not Without My Ghost (No. 2 in 2023).
Foo Fighters’ 12th LP, Your Favorite Toy, has debuted at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums and Vinyl Albums chart. All 12 albums from the US giants have reached the top 10, with eight going to No. 1: One By One in 2002, In Your Honor in 2005, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace in 2007, Wasting Light in 2011, Sonic Highways in 2014, Concrete And Gold in 2017, Medicine At Midnight in 2021 and But Here We Are in 2023.
