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. The track also leads this week’s Hot 40, while Swift simultaneously claims the #2, #3 and #4 positions with new singles – all of which feature on the deluxe edition of The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore. Swift also breaks Olivia Dean’s hold on the Top 40 Albums Chart with the expanded re-release of the 2025 title, which returns to #1 after a 48-week break.

Six60 hold at #1 on the Aotearoa Albums Chart with Right Here Right Now, and ‘Ready To Ride’ returns to the peak position on the Aotearoa Singles Chart after being superseded by Frankie Venter’s ‘say it’ last wiki. Meanwhile, Australia-based New Zealanders The Bradamon Band claim their fourth #1 on the Aotearoa Hot 20, with ‘Boogie Shows’ (Reggae Version).

A bonus mention this week goes to Blindspott, who enter the Aotearoa Catalogue Singles Chart for the first time with ‘Nil By Mouth’. The single took out the 2026 countdown of The Rock 2000 last month. Te Tukutahi Tiketike 10 Te Reo Māori continues to be headed by TAWAZ, Stan Walker and Hone’s now-classic collab ‘Mānawa Maiea Matariki’, which also features vocals from HERA, Hops, Neps & Rani.
