The Kirikiriroa group also enters the Albums Top 40 at #7, one step ahead of Troye Sivan’s She’s The Best (#8). Album track 'SAW' leads the Aotearoa Singles Chart for a second week, while its title tune lands at #1 on the Aotearoa Hot 20 – songs from the album hold four of the top five positions on the Chart, including the peak.

The Aotearoa Albums Chart also sees new entries from Louis Baker (#2), Flamingo Pier (#3), Phoebe Vic (#9) and more this week. There's a total of nine new entries in the Chart, all up.

British drum ‘n’ bass duo Chase & Status grab their second Hot 40 #1 this week, with ‘Carnage’. Taken from their new album Generic Everything – which enters the Top 40 at #5 – the track features vocals from renowned UK rapper Little Simz.
