Kings of Leon Debut at No. 3 on Australia's ARIA Albums Chart
Kings of Leon have opened at No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart with their new album, O My Beloved. The chart was published on Friday, 13 November 2026, and Billboard reported that the debut was the strongest on that week's chart.
ARIA is the Australian Recording Industry Association, which compiles the country's album and singles charts each week. The albums chart ranks releases by the sales and streams it counts, and a debut is the first chart placing a new album earns.
O My Beloved is the band's 10th studio album. It was released through Virgin Music Group and Inertia, the label group and imprint behind the record's release and promotion.
The Nashville-born rock band already has a strong run on the chart. This is their seventh top 10 album in Australia, where the top 10 means the ten highest-ranked albums each week. Four of their earlier records have reached No. 1: Only By The Night, Come Around Sundown, Mechanical Bull and When You See Yourself.
The wider chart moved as well. Olivia Rodrigo's You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love returned to No. 1 for a seventh non-consecutive week, meaning the weeks at the top were not in a row. Party Dozen's 21 Bum Salute entered at No. 6, the highest position the band has reached on the chart. James Blunt's Airplane Mode debuted at No. 9, and it is his eighth studio album.
On the singles chart, Tate McRae's "Housewife" spent a fourth week at No. 1.
For the bands involved, a chart debut is a clear marker of how many people bought or streamed an album in its first week of release. Each placing is counted in a single week, so a debut can be followed by a drop the next week, and the chart is updated again on the following Friday.
