Australia\u2019s latest chart week was pitched as a fight of two heavyweights. In one corner, Taylor Swift<\/a>\u2019s incumbent, The Life Of A Showgirl <\/em>(via Republic\/Universal). And in the other, Tame Impala\u2019s long-awaited Deadbeat<\/em> (Columbia\/Sony).<\/p>\n When the results were called, Swift\u2019s Showgirl<\/em> had packed enough glitter to retain the crown, and nab another chart double.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n The Life Of A Showgirl<\/em> retains top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart<\/a> for a third successive week. According to ARIA, nine of her 14 leaders have logged at least three cycles at the summit, including Red<\/em> (three weeks), 1989<\/em> (nine weeks), Lover<\/em> (three weeks), Folklore<\/em> (four weeks), Evermore<\/em> (four weeks), Midnights<\/em> (16 weeks), 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version) <\/em>(14 weeks) and The Tortured Poets Department <\/em>(eight weeks).<\/p>\n Kevin Parker<\/a> slides in at No. 2 on the national chart with Deadbeat<\/em>, the first new album release in five years from his psychedelic pop project, Tame Impala.<\/p>\n All five of Tame Impala\u2019s studio albums have cracked the top 5 in Australia starting with Innerspeaker <\/em>(from 2010) and Lonerism (<\/em>2012), both of which peaked at No. 4. Tame Impala\u2019s last two albums, Currents<\/em> (2015) and The Slow Rush<\/em> (2020), went all the way to No. 1.<\/p>\n Deadbeat<\/em> is the best-selling title this week on vinyl.<\/p>\n Tame Impala<\/a> has won 13 ARIA Awards, one BRIT Award, a Grammy, and belatedly cracked the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time earlier this month<\/a> with Deadbeat<\/em> single \u201cDracula.\u201d On the current ARIA Singles Chart, \u201cDracula\u201d sinks its teeth in for a No. 40 start. Only one Tame Impala song has charted higher in Australia, \u201cThe Less I Know The Better,\u201d which reached No. 17 in 2015. \u201cDracula\u201d is the only new release, and only homegrown title, in the top 50.<\/p>\n Staying with the national albums survey, published Friday, Oct. 24, Aussie heartthrob Ruel<\/a> debuts at No. 6 with Kicking My Feet<\/em> (Virgin Music Group\/Universal), his third appearance in the top 10; and London indie band The Last Dinner Party enters the top tier for the first time with From The Pyre<\/em> (Island\/Universal), new at No. 7.<\/p>\n Western Australia\u2019s The Southern River Band open their account at No. 16 with Easier Said Than Done<\/em> (Orchard), for their appearance on the chart. The rockers are added to the lineup of the support acts for AC\/DC\u2019s stadium concerts this December in Perth, produced by TEG Van Egmond<\/a>.<\/p>\n Several other local artists make a splash on the ARIA top 40, including Melbourne rock band Camp Cope (Live At Sydney Opera House<\/em> at No. 20 via PCR), singer-songwriter Wilsn (Bloom <\/em>at No. 31 via Mushroom), and country singer Andrew Swift (Lucky Stars<\/em> at No. 33 via ABC\/Orchard), while internationals Sabaton (Legends<\/em> at No. 14 via BNM\/MGM) and Ashnikko (Smoochies<\/em> at No. 15 via WUK\/Warner) make their mark.<\/p>\n It\u2019s all about Taylor Swift on the ARIA Singles Chart<\/a>, too, as \u201cThe Fate Of Ophelia\u201d holds at No. 1 for a third week. It\u2019s one of four Showgirl <\/em>songs in the top 10, though \u201cOpalite\u201d (down 2-4), \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d (down 5-7) and \u201cFather Figure\u201d (down 6-8) are losing their grip.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
