OK, who bought Buble for Mother's Day?

American blues rock duo The Black Keys will have to beat the Mother's Day hangover of Michael Bublé album sales if they want to debut atop the ARIA Albums Chart this week.

The Black Keys have never had a number one record in Australia (they got to three in 2011 with El Camino) but midweek figures are showing their album Turn Blue as this week's top debut, even if the top three positions are too tough to pick this early.

Currently held by the soundtrack to Frozen, the number one spot could likely be Bublé's with To Be Loved, which will have enjoyed strong sales on the Saturday before Mother's Day this past Sunday. It's also yet to be seen whether Turn Blue can sustain strong sales outside of the first few days.

Eurovision's impact will certainly be felt though, with the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 Copenhagen compilation set for a top 20 debut while the competition's 1974, and most famous, winners ABBA will rocket back into the top ten with ABBA Gold & More (Anniversary Edition).

Outside the top 20 we can expect debuts from Sarah McLachlan's Shine On, Foxes' Glorious and Lykke Li's I Never Learn.

On-tour Arctic Monkeys will push back up the chart, as will Jessica Mauboy's Beautiful – the latter another Eurovision-related impact thanks to the Australian singer's performance on the show. Robbie Williams' Swings Both Ways and James Blunt's Moon Landing are also tracking well.

Local artists have been giving a strong run on the ARIA Singles Chart recently, with Justice Crew's Que Sera debuting at number one last week. The top spot's pretty open this week, given that 5 Seconds Of Summer's Don't Stop will likely be the top debut and will land outside the top five.

Mauboy's Eurovision track Sea Of Flags is currently sitting outside the top 30, ahead of Nico & Vinz's Am I Wrong? and Tiesto featuring Matthew Koma's Wasted.

A bigger threat will be Zhu's Faded, which will push well into the top ten this week.

Other singles having good weeks of sales include DJ Snake featuring Lil Jon's Turn Down For What, Mr. Probz's Waves, and Aussie rapper Illy featuring Scarlett Stevens' Tightrope.
