Olivia Dean has returned to number one on the ARIA albums chart with The Art Of Loving.

The super deluxe version of Rubber Soul is also at number two on the Vinyl Album Charts.

And the resurgence of old albums continued with V.Spy V.Spy moving into the ARIA Albums top 10 with 40th anniversary reissues of Harry’s Reasons and A.O. Mod. TV. Vers.

The band now holds three spots on the Australian On Replay Albums Chart, with Live at the Prince of Wales 1984 also entering at number 18.

Killing Heidi singer Ella Hooper, who will perform at Sandstone Point, north of Brisbane, on October 18, is at number 19 with her Overnight Success album

It is her third solo album and first to make the top 50.

Rounding out the blasts from the past, former Little River Band lead singer Glenn Shorrock has debuted at number 34 with Legendary (The Ultimate Collection).

Cold Chisel guitarist Ian Moss and country star Troy Cassar-Daley are new at number 49 with their collaboration, Together Alone Live At The Ulumbarra Theatre.
