More INXS More INXS

Australian rock legends INXS are celebrating another week at the top of the ARIA charts, holding off American comedy metal act Steel Panther

The Very Best retains the number one spot while Panther's All You Can Eat debuted at two. With INXS' The Very Best now in its sixth week on top it becomes the band's longest-running number one here. Recently discovered Johnny Cash album Out Among The Stars debuted at four while Shakira's Shakira was the other debut in the top ten at eight.

Australian debuts were scattered throughout the top 50, with club music outfit The Aston Shuffle the top at 12 with Photographs. Architecture In Helsinki was further down at 25 with NOW + 4EVA (below debuts from Christina Perri's Head Or Heart at 23 and Band Of Skulls' Himalayan at 24) and landed just one ahead of Violent Soho's Hungry Ghost. Soho's 2013 record has bulletted back up the chart following their tour announcement, jumping from 49 to 26 this week.

In the ARIA Singles Chart there were rises for two of the local chargers – Sia's Chandelier is up to ten from 13 and Sheppard's Geronimo jumps ten spots to 18 - equalling the peak of their self-titled EP last year. It is Sia's first ever solo top ten hit here, she last peaked at five as a featured artist on David Guetta's Titanium in 2011.

Pharrell's Happy is back up to number one, and in its 12th week at the top equals Eminem's Lose Yourself as the longest running chart topper of the century. Top debut came from locals Joel Fletcher and Seany B's Loco at 13.
