Can Dead Letter Circus Beat Bullet For My Valentine To #1?

This week's ARIA Albums Chart is turning out to be a battle of the rockers as Aussie band Dead Letter Circus are in a race for the week's highest album debut against Welsh heavyweights Bullet For My Valentine.

The Brisbane outfit's third studio record, Aesthesis has already been warmly received from critics and fans and we couldn't agree more, as we gave the album a four star rating in our review — check it out here. 

Meanwhile Bullet's latest offering, Venom, has also received huge feedback from fans, in anticipation of the quartet's newly-announced Soundwave 2016 performance.

It can be confirmed that Dead Letter Circus currently sit less than 500 units away from toppling Bullet, although in what could be considered a telling sign, as of right now Dead Letter's album is positioned ahead of Venom on the iTunes chart. (Aesthesis #2, Venom #5) 

Also debuting on this week's Albums Chart include fellow Aussie act The Waifs' Beautiful You and music legend Jimmy Barnes's compilation record, Best Of The Soul Years, as well as US producer Dillon Francis' This Mixtape Is Fire.

Expect to hear new singles this week from US singer Lana Del Ray with High By The Beach and Aussie pop punk act 5 Seconds Of Summer's latest track, Fly Away.
