The holiday season may be over, but the hits are just heating up on the ARIA Singles Chart.

As Christmas tracks retreat from their seasonal dominance, Rosé and Bruno Mars have reclaimed the crown with their smash hit “APT.,” catapulting from No. 8 back to No. 1 for an impressive eighth non-consecutive week on top. With holiday tunes swept off the charts, it’s time for pop’s biggest stars to shine again.

Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True,” a former No. 1, leaps from No. 9 to No. 2, while Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With A Smile” ascends to No. 3 from No. 16. The track previously peaked at No. 2.

Other notable singles include Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” which jumps from No. 19 to No. 4 after topping the chart for two weeks in August, and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” climbing from No. 18 to No. 5. The latter spent five weeks at No. 1 during July and August.

Sydney indie-pop duo Royel Otis debut at No. 47 with “Linger (SiriusXM Session),” a fresh take on The Cranberries’ 1994 hit “Linger.”

The Cranberries’ original version became the band’s breakthrough single in the U.S., peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1994 and stayed on the charts for 24 weeks. It remains one of their most iconic tracks, blending alternative rock with orchestral elements and highlighting Dolores O’Riordan’s ethereal vocals. Royel Otis’ 2024 album Pratts & Pain earned two ARIA Awards last November.

On the ARIA Albums Chart, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet continues to dominate, securing its eighth non-consecutive week at No. 1. The album’s standout tracks “Espresso” and “Taste” return to the top 10, climbing to No. 8 and No. 10 respectively.

Ed Sheeran’s greatest hits compilation +–=÷× (Tour Collection) rises from No. 12 to No. 6, spurred by the release of a limited-edition vinyl. The album, which peaked at No. 4 in October, showcases six of Ed’s Australian No. 1 singles, including “Shape of You” and “Bad Habits.”
