Steel Panther the best selling new album so far

Australian artists are starting to make their presence felt in the ARIA Singles Chart, with Sia and Sheppard climbing the ranks this week.

Sydney boy band 5 Seconds Of Summer shot to the top of the chart last week with She Looks So Pretty – the first local track to do so this year – and this week two of the big movers are Sia's Chandelier and last week's highest debut, Sheppard's Geronimo.

According to midweek figures, Sia could break the top ten from where she sits at 13 (she bulleted from 39 last week) while Sheppard – an indie band – could crack the top 20 from their debut of 28.

Joel Fletcher featuring Seany B's Loco is set to be the top debut, ahead of Jai Waetford's Get To Know You, The Vamps' Last Night, export DJ Havana Brown's Whatever We Want, and Justin Timberlake's Not a Bad Thing while DVBBS featuring Borgeous and Tinie Tempah's Tsunami (Jump) is also set to climb.

On the ARIA Albums Chart the soundtrack to Frozen is on a run and will challenge current number one INXS's The Very Best Of and number two Pharrell Williams' G I R L for the top spot. The top debut will be Steel Panther's All You Can Eat (potential top five if it sells well in the second half of the week) while Johnny Cash's Out Among The Stars and Shakira's Shakira will land ahead of the first local debut this week – The Aston Shuffle's Photographs.

Sitting outside of the top 20 at this stage, it's joined in the lower half of the top 50 by Architecture In Helsinki's NOW + 4EVA as well as international releases Band Of Skulls' Himalayan, Christina Perri's Head Or Heart, Glee Cast's Glee: The Music – Celebrating 100 Episodes and Karmin's Pulses.

Watch out for London Grammar's If You Wait to bullet up the charts this week, as well as Troy Cassar-Daley & Adam Harvey's The Great Country Songbook (potentially back up to 25), on tour 30 Seconds To Mars' Love Lust Faith + Dreams and the soundtrack to Love Child.
