The Kid Laroi, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift dominate the 2022 ARIA charts

The biggest artists in Australian music last year were international hit makers.

On Thursday, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) revealed its top singles and albums for 2022.

Harry Styles and Taylor Swift had the highest record sales in Australia for 2022, with Taylor surpassing the former One Direction star.

After Midnights stormed the charts in October, it had the highest sales week of any album last year.

The album spent seven weeks at the top of the ARIA Albums Charts with most of the tracks reaching the top ten of the singles chart.

Meanwhile, Harry’s House, released in May, spent eight weeks atop the ARIA Albums Chart to take second position in the year-end tally.

Not only that, the British musician also claimed the number one single of the year with As It Was, one of three tracks on the ARIA Top 50 Singles of the year.

Australia’s own Spacey Jane and her latest release Here Comes Everybody have entered the top three of the Vinyl Albums Chart at number three on the tally.

And Australian rapper The Kid Laroi’s latest album, F*ck Love (Over You), has held a position in the top 25 for the second year in a row at number 21 after taking the third spot in 2021.

Laroi scored three tracks on the annual annual chart, including Stay with Justin Bieber, which came in at number three.

Another notable mention must go to PNAU’s remix of Cold Heart featuring Elton John and Dua Lipa, which trailed behind Laroi in fourth place.

Finally, Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour was the fourth biggest album of 2022 after being number one in 2021.
