More Thundamentals More Thundamentals

Ah, the power of Christian Grey's hotness; 50 Shades Darker's soundtrack has reigned supreme on the ARIA Charts this week, leaving Thundamentals to come in at #2 with their newest record, Everyone We Know.

The soundtrack features tracks from Taylor Swift and Zayn, Halsey and more.

It's Thundamentals' highest debut to date, mind you, with their last album So We Can Remember peaking at #3, while this marks a second time a 50 Shades film soundtrack has debuted at #1.

British newcomer Rag'n'Bone Man has swooped in with a #3 record with his debut, Human, also impressively debuting at #1 in the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. As NME reports, in the UK Rag'n'Bone Man is the fastest selling male solo debut all decade, topping Ed Sheeran in 2011 and Sam Smith in 2014.
