Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem’ Returns to ARIA Top 10 Amid Tour Buzz
Lady Gaga is experiencing a remarkable resurgence on the Australian music charts this week, with her album Mayhem making a significant leap back into the ARIA Top 10. This upward movement follows her highly publicized performance at Coachella as well as the increasing excitement surrounding her upcoming stadium tour in Australia.
Chart Performance
This week, Mayhem has climbed from No. 14 to No. 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart, largely influenced by the energizing response to Gaga’s recent Coachella appearance and the announcement of her Australian tour dates. The album initially debuted at No. 1 last month, marking its fourth consecutive week within the upper echelon of the charts.
Upcoming Australian Tour
Recently, Gaga revealed details about her return to Australia with The Mayhem Ball, which will be her first tour of the nation in over a decade, featuring her first-ever stadium shows there. Initial performances in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney sold out rapidly, prompting the addition of a second show in both Melbourne and Sydney on April 16 due to overwhelming demand. This five-date tour is set to commence on December 5 at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and will conclude on December 13 at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
Impact of Coachella and Social Media Buzz
The combination of her announced tour and the buzz generated during Coachella has reignited interest in the Mayhem project. Notably, the album is highlighted by the global hit single “Die With a Smile,” featuring Bruno Mars. This single has not only entered the charts but has also spent multiple weeks in the global Top 10, including an impressive 15-week reign at the top of the Billboard Global 200.
Competition on the ARIA Charts
As Lady Gaga continues to rise on the ARIA charts, it is noteworthy that the Australian music scene is also thriving. This week, the hip-hop trio Bliss n Eso debuted at No. 1 with their album The Moon (The Light Side), marking their fourth chart-topping record. Additionally, Marshall Hamburger, the winner of Australian Idol, has made a notable entry at No. 50 with The Idol Collection, an achievement not seen for an Idol champion since 2009 after season concludes.
Current Singles Chart Insights
On the ARIA Singles Chart, Alex Warren secures a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 with his viral hit “Ordinary,” while Gaga and Mars’ collaborative track “Die With a Smile” has rebounded into the Top 5, moving from No. 9 to No. 4 this week.
Conclusion
With Mayhem re-entering the Top 10 and tickets for her Australian stadium shows flying off the shelves, Lady Gaga’s momentum in the region is undeniable. Recently, an additional performance date in Sydney was added, further demonstrating the high demand for her return.
