Lana Del Rey Ahead Of 360 In Midweek Charts

The race to the top of this week's ARIA Albums Chart has two runners, with Lana Del Rey and 360 hunting down the number one spot.

Last week The Amity Affliction debuted at number one with a massive 24,000 scans, but a large portion of those came from pre-sales and so there will be a significant drop-off this week. It leaves the top two spots free for the taking.

Sultry American singer Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence is slightly ahead on the midweek rankings, but they haven't factored pre-sales in yet – which are likely to favour 360's Utopia. Once they are counted the race will tighten up significantly, and final day pushes from 360 could land the Melbourne rapper his first number one (2012's Falling & Flying peaked at four – in the same year Del Rey's Born To Die reached number one.)

Other debuts will come from Linkin Park's The Hunting Party, Kasabian's 48:13 and Tiësto's A Town Called Paradise while Katy Perry's Prism may move into the top ten thanks to a resurgent week.

Sales boosts are also being experienced by Keith Urban's Fuse, The Black Keys' Turn Blue, Pharrell Williams' G I R L, Rufus' Atlas, Imagine Dragons' Night Visions, Bastille's Bad Blood, Lily Allen' Sheezus and Avicii's True.

In the ARIA Singles Chart the usual names will be fighting for number one – including current number one Justice Crew's Que Sera – while Australian boy band 5 Seconds Of Summer are on the rise with Don't Stop, thanks to an EP release. It could feature at the pointy end of the chart come the end of the week.

Tove Lo's Stay High (Habits Remix) is another mover, as are Nicki Minaj's Pills N Potions and The Vamps featuring Demi Lovato's Somebody To You.

Top 50 single debuts will come from Bonnie Anderson's Blackout, Pitbull featuring Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte's We Are One, Stan Walker & Ginny Blackmore's Holding You, Lorde's Tears For Fears cover Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
