Album Highlights:

It’s the 5 Seconds Of Summer frontman and singer-songwriter’s debut solo album and was written and recorded during an enforced period of “staying home” in 2020. It becomes the fifth #1 album of Hemmings’ career after scoring four #1s with 5SOS: 5 Seconds Of Summer (#1 Jul. ’14), Sounds Good Feels Good (#1 Nov. ’15), Youngblood(#1 Jun. ’18) and CALM (#1 Apr. ’20). When Facing The Things We Turn Away From is the twelfth Australian #1 album on the ARIA Charts in 2021.

ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd says: “Luke Hemmings has proven himself to be one of Australia’s most beloved, talented, and iconic performers. All of us at ARIA congratulate Luke on taking his first step as a solo artist and going straight to number 1 with When Facing the Things We Turn Away From. Such an immense contribution to the Australian music landscape.”

The tour in support of the new album, scheduled to be held between October and December, will see Polish Club expand to a quartet for the first time. They made their chart debut with Alright Already (#19 Apr. ’17).

#10: Jungle ‘Loving In Stereo’ – British electronic band Jungle take out a new ARIA Charts peak as they return at #10 with Loving In Stereo.
