Hermitude Debut At Number One Ahead Of Faith No More

Australian electro duo Hermitude have defied the odds and topped this week's ARIA Albums Chart after beating veteran US rockers Faith No More to the number one spot. 

The boys fifth studio album Dark Night Sweet Light has been getting rave reviews and it was right in the mix during the mid week charts with Faith No More's first album in eighteen years Sol Invictus, but the local act has claimed the top spot, which marks their first number one record. 

Faith No More took out second spot, while musical comedy soundtrack Pitch Perfect 2 dropped down a spot to #3.

Meanwhile, fellow Australian act Grace has finally claimed the #1 spot on the Singles Chart with her cover track, You Don't Own Me, dethroning Wiz Khalifa's See You Again which dropped to second spot after sitting on top for six straight weeks. It is the first Australian single to go to number one in 2015.

The Brisbane singer also topped the Digital Tracks Chart for the week, while pop princess Taylor Swift's new single Bad Blood came in at fourth on the Digital Tracks and third on the Singles Charts. 

Other Album Chart debuts this week included Aussie thrash metal outfit King Parrot with their album Dead Set coming in at #21, while The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers' second solo record, The Desired Effect took out #14.
