Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus dominate the year-end charts in Australia

Hail Taylor Swift. This is how Aussies reacted to TayTay in 2023, as the pop superstar dominated the year-end charts.

Swift reigned supreme in the ARIA 2023 Year-End Albums Chartwhich was published on Friday January 1st with 1989 (Taylor Edition) winning first place.

The fourth re-recorded album from Swift's repertoire, 1989 (Taylor Edition) logged nine weeks at No. 1 on the national chart last year, the longest consecutive streak of any LP.

This is just the beginning of Swift scanning. The “Shake It Off” singer earned five of the top 10 albums Down Under, including a number two spot with Midnightconfirms ARIA, and 10 of the top 50.

After a two-week stay at No. 1 in 2023, Speak Now (Taylor Edition) He ends the year at No. 7 overall. Lover is in No. 8. and its original version 1989 is at No. 9. It also affects the tally Reputation (no. 11), Folklore (no. 12), Red (Taylor Edition) (No. 29), Forever (No.36) and Fearless (Taylor Version) (No. 46).

Swift is used to the high life. Midnight was the No. 1 album of 2022, meaning Swift had the best-selling album in Australia for two years in a row. A third is not out of the question. Swift has two more recorded albums in the works (although release dates have not been announced) and The Eras tour will invade Australia in February for seven stadium shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

The return to the country is in full swing as Luke Combs takes three top 25 titles: This is for you in No. 14, I'm getting old in No. 17 and What you see is not always what you get at No. 24.

Meanwhile, US artists close out the four biggest-selling singles of 2023, a list led by Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers', a single that topped the ARIA Singles Chart for 12 weeks during the calendar year . Just eight songs have spent more than a year at No. 1, ARIA reports. Tones and I's 'Dance Monkey' remains the all-time leader, clocking 24 weeks at the top in 2019-20.

It peaked at No. 2 at 2023 ARIA Year End Singles Chart is country star Morgan Wallen with “Last Night,” ahead of SZA's “Kill Bill” and Swift's “Anti-Hero,” respectively, while English artist PinkPantheress finishes the year at No. 5 with ” Boy's A Liar”.

“Congratulations to all the artists who dominated 2023, but especially Taylor, who has completely reset the narrative of what a solo artist can achieve,” comments ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd. “She is truly a once-in-a-lifetime artist, storyteller, performer and entrepreneur. Similarly, Miley Cyrus' incredible achievement on the Singles Chart over the past year – cementing herself at No.1 on the 2023 Singles Chart – is cause for celebration… as are women topping both the Singles and Albums Charts for in 2023.

However, the lack of homegrown artists on both lists is nothing to celebrate. Just four Australian albums made the top 100 this year, topped by INXS' hits collection The best (at No. 58), and only three Australian-produced singles impacted the top 100, none of which were released in 2023. The top Australian recording was The Kid Laroi's 2021 15x platinum collaboration with Justin Bieber, ” Stay. ”

“It's disappointing, but the data provided by these charts is an unbiased view of how the Australian public consumes music and we need to use this data to understand that we have a very urgent, very complex problem to solve,” he adds. the Herd. “We need to address the damaging lack of data on contemporary music.

Help is coming. With renewed support for Ausmusic from the federal and various state governments, the establishment of Music Australia, Sound NSW and the Center for Creative Workplaces, Herd notes, the industry is optimistic that “we can change the narrative this time next year”.
