QUEEN DEAN, ELLA LANGLEY RETURN TO TIP OF TOP 40 – SON & WATER, REB FOUNTAIN SHAKE UP AOTEAROA CHARTS
Olivia Dean is back at #1 on the Top 40 Albums Chart with The Art Of Loving, having stepped aside last week for Taylor Swift, who drops to #2 with The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore. Ella Langley similarly reclaims her position leading the Singles Top 40, with ‘Choosin’ Texas’.
TAYLOR SWIFT RECLAIMS CHARTS CROWN, LEADS SINGLES & ALBUMS TOP 40 THIS WIKI
Taylor Swift is back with fresh material, her new single ‘Patient Zero’ landing definitively at #1 on the Top 40 this week – knocking Ella Langley from the top spot after a 19-week run. Swift also breaks Olivia Dean’s hold on the Top 40 Albums Chart with the expanded re-release of The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore, which returns to #1 after a 48-week break.
GO ON & SAY IT, FRANKIE VENTER CLAIMS #1 TOP 20 AOTEAROA SINGLE
Olivia Dean’s The Art Of Loving remains at #1 on the Top 40 Albums Chart this week, less than one month out from her hotly anticipated Tāmaki Makaurau headline show, and Ella Langley remains at #1 on the Singles Top 40 with ‘Choosin' Texas’. Six60 also settle in at the head of the Aotearoa Albums Chart, with Right Here Right Now. Over on the Aotearoa Singles Chart, however, 2025 AMA Best Pop Artist finalist Frankie Venter parachutes straight into the peak position – claiming the #1 spot with her new single ‘say it’. It’s Venter’s debut #1 single; she’s also the first wahine to top the Chart since Lorde achieved the feat in July 2025. The track dislodges Hori Shaw and Te Wehi’s ‘Ready To Ride’ from the top spot – and also leaps ahead of new tracks from the likes of Morgan Wallen (#3), Miley Cyrus (#4) and Troye Sivan (#6) to lead the Hot 40, as well as the Aotearoa Top 20, this wiki. Te Tukutahi Tiketike 10 Te Reo Māori continues to be led by TAWAZ, Stan Walker and Hone, with their epic ‘Mānawa Maiea Matariki’ collab.
