Just a week after announcing an indefinite hiatus, Australian rockers Bad//Dreems have landed their first-ever top-charting album on the Australian Albums list with their fifth effort, Ultra Dundee.
The record has also debuted at No. 5 on the ARIA Albums chart and No. 3 on the Vinyl chart.
Their best performer until now was 2023’s Hoo Ha! which reached No. 10. It comes a week after the five-piece outfit announced their indefinite hiatus and final tour, set to start next month.
“The last thing we won was the D-grade amateur footy flag, so this is a great honour,” Bad//Dreems said in a statement.
“Thanks to all our amazing fans who bought an album and the team which helped us release this independently. Catch us on our victory lap around Oz before we hang up the boots indefinitely.”
Elsewhere, BTS have predictably topped the ARIA Albums and Vinyls chart with their tenth studio album, ARIRANG, marking the Korean boy band’s third No. 1 Australian album.
Other debuts this week include Luke Combs’ The Way I Am (No. 3), and ARIA Award winner Morgan Evans’ Steel Town (No. 17 and No. 2 on the Australian Artists chart).
Over on the Singles chart, Olivia Dean has made it 19 straight weeks on top with “Man I Need”, while BTS’ “Swim” charts at No. 4.
