ARIA Albums Chart: Calum Hood, ONEFOUR Complete Rare Homegrown 1-2
5 Seconds of Summer’s Calum Hood nabs the ARIA Albums Chart crown, beating ONEFOUR to the prize.
The 5SOS bass player opens atop the national tally with ORDER Chaos ORDER (via EMI Music Australia), for his first solo No. 1.
As a member 5SOS, Hood owns six ARIA Awards and all five of their studio LPs have topped the chart: 5 Seconds of Summer (in 2014), Sounds Good Feels Good (2015), Youngblood (2018), CALM (2020) and 5SOS5 (2022).

It’s a rare all-Australian 1-2 on the ARIA Chart, published late Friday, June 20th, as rappers ONEFOUR bags a No. 2 debut with Look At Me Now (Orchard), their first full-length collection.
Hood and ONEFOUR both hail from Mount Druitt.
Another homegrown group, the prolific prog-rock outfit King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard closes out with top 5 with Phantom Island (Virgin/Universal). It’s new at No. 5.
Since 2010, King Gizz have released 27 studio albums, 56 live albums, four compilation albums, one remix album and three EPs. From that remarkable tally, they’ve nailed 19 top 10 albums, five of which peaked at No. 2. A No. 1, however, continues to elude them.
“Three Aussie debuts in the Top 5 is an absolutely massive result,” comments ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd. “Congratulations to ONEFOUR and King Gizz, but particularly to our new No. 1 Calum and his team for delivering a breakthrough hit album and proving that new Australian music absolutely can cut through.”
Spacey Jane’s third album If That Makes Sense (AWAL) is on the rebound, as the Perth indie rockers work their way around the country with a tour in support. If That Makes Sense lifts 21-13 in its sixth week.
Last week’s champion, Jimmy Barnes’s DEFIANT (Mushroom Music), dips 1-35, and is one of one of five domestic titles in the top 50.
US rapper Lil Tecca lands a top 40 entry with “Dopamine” (Universal), arriving at No. 28.
Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Alex Warren‘s “Ordinary” (Warner) continues its extraordinary run. “Ordinary” logs a lucky 13th consecutive week at No. 1, for the the equal fifth longest reign in chart history, ARIA reports. Hailing from California, Warren has a long path ahead if he’s to challenge the all-time mark set by Tones And I, whose 2019 hit “Dance Monkey” logged an unprecedented 24 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1.
Just one new release makes its presence felt on the singles frame, Disco Lines and Tinashe’s collaboration “No Broke Boys” (Atlantic/Warner). It’s new at No. 20.
The barren spell continues for domestic talent, as no Australian releases impact the ARIA Top 50.
