Just ace.

More Grinspoon More Grinspoon

Having just kicked off the 20th anniversary tour for the album, Grinspoon are set to soar to the top of the ARIA Albums chart this week with their deluxe edition of their debut LP, Guide To Better Living.

According to midweek figures, the record is primed to land in the top five and to make the news even sweeter, if the album does crack the top ten it will push past its own record, having peaked at #11 following the original release in 1997. 

Performing at last week's State Of Origin match probably helped Grinspoon's cause, too.

Meanwhile, the battle for #1 is likely to come down to Lorde and Ed Sheeran, after the New Zealand artist's Melodrama knocked Sheeran from top spot following a lengthy reign, though you should expect to see Imagine DragonsEvolve push for a top three debut.

Over on the Singles chart, DJ Khaled's Wild Thoughts, featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, is again on the rise and could even contend for #1 against six-week chart toppers, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee's Despacito, featuring Justin Bieber.

Expect to also hear new music this week from Jessica Mauboy with Fallin' (top 30) and the Grenfell Tower Charity song, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, featuring names such as Robbie Williams, Rita Ora and Craig David.
