Australian singer-songwriter Kita Alexander has impressed on this week's ARIA charts with her latest album, RAGE.

The Brisbane artist's second record has debuted at No. 1 on the Australian Albums chart, No. 8 on the Vinyls chart and No. 11 on the main Albums chart. Her debut album, Young in Love, peaked at No. 61 following its release in 2024.

While Olivia Rodrigo has maintained top spot for a third week with You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, other debuts this week include Muse's The Wow! Signal (No. 2), The Pretty Reckless' Dear God (No. 7), Katie Noonan's Alone But All One (No. 20 and No. 2 on the Australian Albums chart), and WA-born Go-Jo's The Go-Jo Variety Show (No. 48).

Over on the Singles chart, Ella Langley's “Choosin' Texas” has reclaimed No. 1 for the fourth consecutive week. The result means that female artists have held the top spot every week so far in 2026. The last time a solo male artist reached No. 1 was back in July last year when Justin Bieber's “DAISIES” claimed the spot for one week.
