Tight Battles To Decide Album & Single #1s

It's going to be a tight battle at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart, if midweek figures are to be believed. Current number one Bon Jovi is still tracking strongly with What About Now, but the band will face challenges from Birds Of Tokyo's March Fires, which slipped to three in its second week after debuting at number one.

The strongest debut so far is Justin Timberlake, whose The 20/20 Experience should have been considered a certain number one. A lukewarm reaction to the record, which was launched through MySpace, however means the spot is still in the balance. Should easily make the top five though.

There should be a bit of jostling in the ARIA Singles Chart this week, with current number one Pink featuring Nate Ruess's Just Give Me A Reason and number two Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton's Can't Hold Us set to be joined by some bullet performers.

James Arthur is showing remarkable staying power and is still in with a chance of cracking the top spot with his track Impossible. Currently at three, this week will be its tenth in the chart, during which its peaked at two. Rihanna's had even more time with Stay, featuring Mikky Ekko, with the track set to enjoy its 11th week. It is at its highest point of four currently.

Joining the top four in the upper echelons are MKTO, whose Thank You jumped from 20 to ten last week, and dark horse Passenger, whose Let Her Go debuted at 23 last week.
