Sabrina Carpenter has made waves on the ARIA Albums Chart, as her latest album, Short n’ Sweet, scores its 12th non-consecutive week at No. 1. This impressive feat was announced on March 28, 2025, marking a significant milestone in the artist's career. Carpenter's album has garnered attention not only for its chart performance but also for matching Taylor Swift's 1989 album with four Pop Airplay number-one singles, a testament to its widespread appeal.
As Carpenter continues to dominate the charts, the Perth duo Old Mervs has made its mark as well, landing at No. 4 with their self-titled debut album. This achievement represents their first top 5 appearance, a significant jump from their previous peak at No. 33 in 2023 with the EP Give It Up. The duo, consisting of David House and Henry Carrington-Jones, pays homage to their childhood dog, Mervin, through their band name.
Selena Gomez also made a noteworthy entry on the charts, debuting at No. 5 with her first full-length collaborative album, I Said I Loved You First, alongside fiancé Benny Blanco. Gomez has previously charted numerous times, with her highest peak being No. 1 in 2020 with Rare. This latest collaboration marks another significant moment in her career, as it follows her past hits, including When the Sun Goes Down and Revival.
Meanwhile, the beloved Australian band The Cat Empire returns with their latest album, Bird in Paradise, debuting at No. 18. This marks their tenth album and their second since a major lineup change in 2021. The band has a rich history of success, having previously achieved six top 10 albums, including two chart-toppers: Two Shoes in 2005 and Rising With the Sun in 2016.
On the ARIA Singles Chart, Alex Warren has made headlines by landing his first No. 1 with the single “Ordinary,” which climbed from No. 4 the previous week. Warren first charted in 2023 with “Carry You Home,” which has now reached a new peak of No. 20.
Teddy Swims is also enjoying a resurgence on the singles chart, with his track “Lose Control” rebounding from No. 22 to No. 14. His other singles, “The Door” and “Bad Dreams,” have also seen significant jumps, climbing to No. 26 and No. 27, respectively. This surge in popularity follows the announcement of his upcoming Australian tour, which has undoubtedly piqued interest among fans.
In addition to her chart-topping success, Sabrina Carpenter recently performed in Italy as part of her Short n' Sweet Tour at the Unipol Forum in Milan. During her time in Italy, she took a break from her busy schedule to celebrate her achievements with her friends, sharing stunning photos on Instagram that captured the beauty of the Italian towns.
Among the highlights shared on social media, Carpenter, clad in a bikini, was seen jumping off a Stone Bridge into the water, showcasing her adventurous spirit and the joy she finds in celebrating her successes with her close friends.
