Olivia Dean's 'The Art Of Loving' returns to No. 1 in Australia
Olivia Dean's The Art Of Loving is back at No. 1 on Australia's ARIA Albums Chart, the national ranking of the country's best-selling albums.
The chart dated Oct. 12, 2026 gives Dean a 14th non-consecutive week on top, according to Billboard. It is her first week back at No. 1 since late April.
That run began almost a year ago. The album debuted at No. 1 last October and has not left the top five since. Few albums stay that present for that long.
The return lines up with live dates. Dean opened a six-date trans-Tasman tour, covering Australia and New Zealand, with the first of two shows on Oct. 5 at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. The run is promoted by Handsome Tours and Laneway Presents.
Two Sydney shows follow at Afterpay Arena on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10. The schedule then moves to Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Oct. 13 before closing at Auckland's Western Springs Bowl on Oct. 17.
The Art Of Loving is Dean's second album and was released via Universal. Dean also won Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards in February, as reported by ARIA.
What makes this stand out is the consistency. A year after release, the record is still selling and streaming alongside new releases. The tour puts that audience in the same room.
