Can No One Stop Keith Urban's Run At #1?

It's going to need a massive effort to do so.

He blocked Radiohead from #1, then Aussie legends The Living End and Paul Dempsey and now country artist Keith Urban is set to defend top spot for a third straight week.

The only new threat to dethrone the singer's ninth studio album, Ripcord, is US pop star Ariana Grande's third offering, Dangerous Woman, which is primed to debut in the top three this week. 

Acts who have featured in the top five in recent weeks including Drake with Views and Beyonce's Lemonade will also be in the mix for #1, as will UK singer Adele's acclaimed 25, which could potentially be given a boost given that she is about to sign the biggest record deal for a British musician with Sony Music.

Also likely to crack the top ten this week are music legends Eric Clapton's I Still Do and Bob Dylan's Fallen Angels.
