A handful of Aussies look set for top ten finishes
Singer-songwriter Sia appears to be the big challenger this week for local boy band 5 Seconds Of Summer and their number one spot on this week's ARIA Albums Chart.
The Adelaide-bred artist has enjoyed early strong sales of her new album 1000 Forms Of Fear this week and is the big competition for 5SOS's self-titled LP, which debuted at one last week.
Sia is odds-on then to be the highest Aussie debut of the week, but she won't be the only, with rising hip hop star Allday (Startup Cult) and country sisters The McClymonts (Here's To You & I) both aiming for top ten finishes. American R&B singer Trey Songz should also debut quite strongly with his new record Trigga.
Kiwi teenage-singing sensation Lorde and local rock faves Violent Soho and their respective albums (Pure Heroine and Hungry Ghost) are both expected to move slightly up the charts thanks to their current tours around the country. Other albums expected to make moves this week include Jersey Boys: Music From The Motion Picture And Broadway Musical, Lana Del Rey's Born To Die The Paradise Edition and David Gray's Mutineers.

Over to the ARIA Singles Chart and Justice Crew's record-breaking Que Sera be dethroned by The Madden Brothers. The Good Charlotte bros and their track We Are Done is expected to move up some spots this week and considering they are currently in fourth, there's only a few more songs to knock-off their perches. If Justice Crew do maintain their title, they will equal the longest-running Aussie single in history, including pre-ARIA times.
Other singles expected to move up in the chart are 360's latest collab with singer Gossling – Price Of Fame (aiming for a top 20 spot), Ed Sheeran's Don't, Ella Henderson's Ghost, Andy Grammer's Back Home and will.i.am/Cody Wise's It's My Birthday.
Single debuts to look out for this week include Chet Faker's new single Gold and Ariana Grande's latest featuring Zedd, Break Free.
