Led by Bonnie Fraser (vocals and guitar), the band recently completed a string of U.K. dates with Simple Plan, they’re back home for Australian dates before returning to the United States for Vans Warped Tour Orlando and a tour with Story of the Year and Silverstein.
GODBREATH is the fourth homegrown album to lead the chart in 2026, after sets by Karnivool, DMA’s and Angus & Julia Stone. And it’s one of three ARIA top 10 debutants on the new chart, published Friday, Oct. 30.
Also making his mark is Dan Sultan, whose Little Miracles bows at No. 5. A five-time ARIA Award winner, Sultan now has five top 50 results including three top 10s (2014’s Blackbird peaked at No. 4 and 2017’s Killer went to No. 5).

Rosé did it first with her self-titled set from 2024, which peaked at No. 2 in 2024, while Jennie also went to No. 2 with 2025’s Ruby . BLACKPINK’s two studio albums, The Album (from 2021) and Born Pink (2022) also peaked at No. 2.
