FANGZ Makes Waves with ARIA Top 10 Debut of 'Shui'

## FANGZ’s Impressive ARIA Chart Debut

FANGZ has made a notable entrance on the ARIA Chart, debuting at No. 8 with their first full-length album, *Shui*. This Sydney punk rock band’s independent release marks a significant achievement, being the top new entry on the latest list published on July 11.

### A Unique Breakthrough

Not only does *Shui* stand out by debuting in the top 10, but it also claims the distinction of being the sole Australian release featured in the ARIA Top 50 at this time. This is a testament to the band’s growing popularity in the music scene.

### Band Highlights

Frontman Josh Cottreau is known for his dynamic stage presence and recent antics, including an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for eating the most hard-boiled eggs in a single sitting. Currently, FANGZ is hitting the road with a 10-date tour, showcasing their electrifying performances.

## Competition on the Charts

Currently, *Shui* is the only new studio album making waves on the ARIA Albums Chart. The chart is led by the soundtrack to Netflix’s hit series *KPop Demon Hunters*, which recently climbed from second to first place after three weeks.

### Soundtrack Success

This soundtrack achievement is noteworthy, as it becomes the first animated film soundtrack to reach the No. 1 spot in over eight years. It follows the success of *Barbie The Album*, which also enjoyed a two-week reign at the top earlier this year.

## The UK Influence

The resurgence of Oasis in the UK is felt globally, evidenced by their greatest hits compilation, *Time Flies… 1994-2009*, reentering the ARIA Chart at No. 50. Their iconic album *[What’s The Story] Morning Glory?* is also making waves just outside the top 50.

### Tour News

In exciting news for fans, Noel and Liam Gallagher have reconciled and are currently on the *OASIS LIVE ’25* world tour. This highly anticipated tour will reach Australia in October and November, brought to fans by Live Nation.

## Singles Chart Update

On the ARIA Singles Chart, Alex Warren’s track “Ordinary” continues to dominate, having held the top position for an impressive 16 weeks. Interestingly, no Australian singles are currently present in the ARIA Top 50.
