\n\tMeanwhile, Melbourne\u2019s Grace Cummings scores a No. 23 debut with Bloodhorse!, for her first appearance on the ARIA Chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tProlific Aussie prog-rock band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard<\/a> makes a top 40 splash with Alien Metal. It\u2019s new at No. 26. According to ARIA, King Gizz, as they\u2019ve affectionately known here, has notched more than 25 top 50 entries across studio and live albums and EPs.<\/p>\n

\n\tFinally, Tame Impala<\/a> bags a second top 10 this year as \u201cLoser\u201d improves 11-7, thanks to its placement in the hit MCU film Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Tame Impala\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d peaked at No. 4 and sits at No. 17 this week. Both tracks are lifted from Deadbeat, the fifth studio album from Kevin Parker\u2019s psychedelic pop project, which peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Chart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phoebe Bridgers finds herself at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart with Lost Weekend, her first leader…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[264],"tags":[131379,167685,59937,22217,2814,18,117,19,17,337],"class_list":["post-648973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-aria","tag-aria-charts","tag-bbcharts","tag-bbnews","tag-charts","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117133341097185442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
