Gin Wigmore is the biggest local success story on the Official Aotearoa Music Charts this week.
Fresh from relocating to Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland recently, the Kiwi music icon tops the Top 20 Aotearoa Albums Chart with Beautiful Mess.
Wigmore’s long-awaited fourth studio album also makes it to No. 5 on the Top 40 Albums Chart. That means it’s outperformed her previous album, Ivory (2018), which peaked at No. 3 on the Top 20 Aotearoa Albums Chart and No. 11 on the Top 40 Albums Chart.
US pop singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams goes straight to the top of this week’s Top 40 Albums Chart with Daughter From Hell, which means Olivia Rodrigo drops down one place to No. 2 with you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.
Breakout country star Ella Langley maintains her grip on the Top 40 Singles Chart, leading the way again with “Choosin’ Texas”. Langley’s song recently tied icons Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey for a long-standing Billboard chart record in the US.
The rest of the Top 40 Singles Chart looks almost exactly the same as last week, with Alex Warren (“Ordinary”) and Michael Jackson (“Billie Jean”) trading the fourth and fifth spots.
