The soundtrack has moved up from #8 in last week's chart to take out the #1 spot. Don't worry too much about Ed Sheeran, he's still doing okay with ÷ (Divide) sitting pretty at #2. Pink's Beautiful Trauma is holding strong at #3. Eminem's latest, Revival, sits at #4, and Taylor Swift holds out at #5 with reputation.

Local lads King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard kick the year off right with their latest, Gumboot Soup, debuting at #6. Notably, this is the only debut to take a place in the Top 40 chart this week.
