Jimmy Barnes On Track For 11th Solo #1 Album

Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes has achieved many great feats throughout his illustrious music career and he may very well tick off yet another milestone, as the veteran singer is aiming for an 11th solo number #1 album on the ARIA charts with his newest offering, Soul Searchin'.

The 60-year-old frontman is primed for a top three debut and appears to be the only threat to dethrone Flume who came in at #1 last week with Skin.

The total of #1 albums is even more impressing, given that since 2000's Soul Deeper...Songs from the Deep South, Barnes' following six solo albums have peaked at no lower than #3.

Also set to land in the top ten this week with debuts includes Aussie country rockers The Wolfe Brothers' The Crazy Life and Splendour 2016 act Tegan & Sara's Love You To Death.

Rounding out the album debuts this week are Hellyeah with Unden!able, The Kills' Ash & Ice, Ladyhawke's Wild Things, Roxette with Good Karma, Beartooth's Aggressive, Jai Waetford's Heart Miles, Paul Simon's Stranger To Stranger, Volbeat's Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie and Above & Beyond's Acoustic II.

Over on the Singles Chart, The Avalanches long-awaited return comes in the form of new single Frankie Sinatra — their first new music in 16 years — which is set to debut in the top 30.
