Foo Fighters Beat Angus & Julia Stone To #1 On Aussie Albums Chart

It was always going to be a two-horse race and Foo Fighters have emerged victorious, picking up their sixth-straight #1 Aussie album with Concrete & Gold.

As predicted in the midweek figures, the iconic rockers fended off Aussie duo Angus & Julia Stone's Snow, which debuted on the ARIA Albums chart at #2 and in doing so, ended the Sydney sibling's chance of scoring three-straight #1 albums.

Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) continued its incredible hold on the chart to place at #3, while, as expected, Gang Of Youths' Go Farther In The Lightness, crept back into the top five to chart at #4.

Last week's top-charting album, Anthony Callea's ARIA Number 1 Hits In Symphony rounded out the top five. 

Other records that debuted on the Albums chart this week included Prophets Of Rage's self-titled debut (#11), Elvis Presley compilation, The 50 Greatest Hits (#14), Madonna's live Rebel Heart Tour LP (#20), Tired Lion's Dumb Days (#21), Caligula's Horse's In Contact (#50), Future Friends' Part Two (#55) and Gary Numan's Savage (Songs From A Broken World) (#76).

Meanwhile, Sam Smith managed to hold off some tough competition to retain top spot on the Singles chart with Too Good At Goodbyes.

The UK singer beat out fellow British artist Dua Lipa's New Rules (which climbed from #4 last week to place at #2), Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do at #3, P!nk's What About Us at #4 and Imagine Dragons' Thunder at #5.

Other debuts this week came from Post Malone with Rockstar, featuring 21 Savage (#8), Niall Horan with Too Much To Ask (#23) and the remix of Lorde's Homemade Dynamite, featuring Khalid, SZA and Post Malone (#40).
