Triple J Compilation Beats Cold Chisel To #1

The dust has finally settled and in the end, the latest volume of triple j's Like A Version compilation has beat Aussie legends Cold Chisel to #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart this week. 

As indicated by midweek figures, the 11th volume of the compilation series, which features covers recorded by The Wombats, Jarryd James, Mark Ronson, Vance Joy and many more this time around, proved to be too strong as it finished on top while Chisel's eighth studio album, The Perfect Crime, finished just behind in second spot. 

The placing sees the rock veterans take out the exact same position from 2012's No Plans, having not enjoyed a #1 debut album since 1998's The Last Wave Of Summer.

Meanwhile, last week's chart toppers in metalcore band Parkway Drive dropped two spots to #3 with Ire, while the new offering from Rudimental, We The Generation, finished in #4 just ahead of UK singer James Blunt's I'll Take Everything, which jumped up to #5 after coming in last week at #11.

Rounding out the album debuts this week included AFL grand final performer Bryan Adams' Get Up, which came in at #6, Trivium's Silence In The Snow coming in at #7, the latest from DJ Avicii, Stories, debuting at #10, just ahead of R&B royalty Janet Jackson's Unbreakable which came in at #11.

Clutch's Psychic Warfare finished at #23, Dylan Joel's Authentic Lemonade came in at #28 and finally rockers Eagles Of Death Metal's new record, Zipper Down debuted at #29.

Over on the Singles Chart, rapper Macklemore maintained the #1 position with Downtown, while the week's highest debuting track was Disclosure's Magnets collab with Lorde — coming in at #20.
