Australian Idol was a televised talent contest, screened on Channel Ten for seven seasons between 2003 and 2009. Several contestants were signed to record labels, while others released their music independently. Since 2003 Australian Idol acts have placed well on the Australian music charts, with 35 number ones and 158 platinum and 41 gold certifications. Eight Idol releases appeared in the 2000 – 2009 ARIA End of Decade Charts, and 24 releases have been nominated for Highest Selling ARIA Music Awards. Idol contestants have also been nominated for 33 ARIA Awards in public vote categories, where the nominees are most commonly selected from the highest selling acts of the year. There have also been 48 industry judged ARIA Award nominations. To date there have been 11 wins in sales and public vote categories, and in 2013 season one winner Guy Sebastian and season four runner up Jessica Mauboy became the first Idol contestants to win industry voted ARIA Awards.

While many of the contestants only charted with their early releases, some, most notably Sebastian, Mauboy, season one runner up Shannon Noll, season two runner up Anthony Callea and season five runner up Matt Corby have experienced long-term success. Nine Idol acts have charted outside Australia, including Noll and Leith who reached the top ten on the Irish charts with their debut singles, and Sebastian and season seven winner Stan Walker who have both achieved numerous top ten certified entries on the New Zealand charts. Sebastian is currently the only Australian Idol contestant to chart in the US. "Battle Scars", a collaboration with Lupe Fiasco, reached number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, 23 on the Billboard Digital Song Chart and number one on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Chart. It spent 20 weeks in the Hot 100 and has been certified platinum for sales of one million. "Battle Scars" also reached number two in Norway. In January 2013 Ricki-Lee Coulter's "Do It Like That" reached number seven on the Japan Hot 100.

Australian chart records

• Guy Sebastian's album Just as I Am – Second highest one week sales ever recorded in Australia, and the highest for an Australian artist. Sold 163,711 units in its first week of release.
• Guy Sebastian – Only male Australian artist to achieve six number one singles in Australian chart history, and he is third overall for all Australian acts. Only Kylie Minogue and Delta Goodrem have achieved more.
• Shannon Noll – Noll's first ten singles released between 2004 and 2007 all reached the top ten of the ARIA Singles Chart, making him the only male Australian artist to achieve ten consecutive top ten singles in Australian chart history. John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes and Sebastian have all achieved more than ten, but they were nonconsecutive.
• Guy Sebastian's single "Angels Brought Me Here" – Held the record of being the highest selling Australian artist song of all time until 2011. Prior to 2003 the highest recorded sales for an Australian artist song were for John Farnham's 1968 single "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)" with sales of 180,000+ units. "Angels Brought Me Here" became the first Australian artist song in chart history to reach 4× platinum certification and eventually achieved 5× platinum certification in 2019. It remained the highest selling Australian artist song until its sales were surpassed by Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" in 2011. Since then a number of other Australian songs have also reached much higher than 4× platinum certification, including Sebastian's own single "Battle Scars" featuring Lupe Fiasco which has achieved 12× platinum certification.
• Anthony Callea's single "The Prayer" – Highest one week single sales for both an Australian artist and an artist on debut, and second highest one week sales in Australian Chart history for any artist, behind Elton John's Princess Diana tribute "Candle in the Wind". "The Prayer" sold over 147,000 copies in its first full week of sales. Sebastian has the second highest one week sales for an Australian artist and third overall with 128,679 copies of "Angels Brought Me Here" sold in its first week.
