Kings Of Leon Enjoy Top Debut on ARIA Chart With ‘O My Beloved’

Kings Of Leon enjoy a royal welcome on the ARIA Albums Chart with O My Beloved (via Virgin Music Group/Inertia), the U.S. rock band’s 10^th studio collection.

O My Beloved opens its account at No. 3, for KoL’s seventh top 10 album — a career tally that includes No. 1s with Only By The Night (for four weeks in 2008), Come Around Sundown (for two weeks in 2010), Mechanical Bull (one week in 2013) and When You See Yourself (one week in 2021).

The Followills can claim the best debut on the latest ARIA Chart, published Friday, Nov. 13, but the best-seller belongs to Olivia Rodrigo, whose You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love (Geffen/Universal) returns to No. 1 for a seven non-consecutive week.

Sydney alternative rock duo Party Dozen bag a career-best chart appearance with 21 Bum Salute (Remote Control Records), new at No. 6. It’s their fifth studio album from Party Dozen, the pairing of Kirsty Tickle (saxophone) and Jonathan Boulet (drums), and first stint in the top 10. Until now, Party Dozen’s peak position was No. 89 for 2024’s Crime In Australia.

British crooner James Blunt lands in the top 10 with Airplane Mode (Atlantic/Warner), his eighth studio album. It’s new at No. 9. Blunt had led the ARIA Chart twice, with Back To Bedlam (in 2004) and All The Lost Souls (2007).

Sydney indie rock outfit Lime Cordiale mark their return to the national albums chart with Live At Sydney Opera House (Chugg Music), recorded across three sold-out nights with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in October 2025. Led by brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach, Lime Cordiale has twice topped the chart, with 14 Steps To A Better You (for one week in 2020) and Enough Of The Sweet Talk (one week in 2024).

Also impacting the top 50 is Queensland country artist Mack Geiger’s Dying In This House (No. 23 via Columbia/Sony), Melbourne metalcore band Future Static with Ornaments & Memories (No. 33 via Wild Thing Records/Orchard), ARIA Hall of Fame inductees The Church with Lacuna (No. 35 via MGM), Royal Blood’s Dead Company (Warner Music), George Michael’s The Faith Tour (No. 44 via Sony Music), Bryan Adams’ How’s It Goin’ (No. 48 via MGM) and Malcolm Todd’s Sweet Boy (at No. 50 via Columbia/Sony).

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Tate McRae’s “Housewife” (RCA/Sony) enters a fourth week at No. 1.
