The ARIA Albums Chart ranks the best-performing albums and extended plays (EPs) in Australia. Its data, published by the Australian Recording Industry Association, is based collectively on the weekly physical and digital sales of albums and EPs.[1] In 2016, 43 albums claimed the top spot, Adele's 25, and Disturbed's Immortalized already peaked at number one in 2015, and 13 acts achieved their first number-one album in Australia: The 1975, Matt Corby, Violent Soho, Zayn, Lukas Graham, Deftones, Drake, The Avalanches, Frank Ocean, A Day to Remember, Sticky Fingers, Jessica Mauboy and Illy.

Australia's Jessica Mauboy spent the longest uninterrupted time at number-one with three weeks for The Secret Daughter: Songs from the Original TV Series, recorded for the miniseries in which she stars.[2]
Having been at number-one for the final five weeks of 2015, British singer Adele's 25 also topped the chart for three weeks, non-consecutively, in January.[3]
