The race to #1 on the ARIA Albums chart this week was set to be a race between Aussie acts, Tash Sultana's Flow State and Troye Sivan's Bloom, until Eminem went ahead and dropped a surprise record on us all last Friday.

According to midweek figures, the US rapper's Kamikaze is the favourite to take out top spot on this week's chart, with Sultana and Sivan set to challenge and also score a top three debut.

Meanwhile, Dean Lewis could clinch four-weeks atop the chart with Be Alright, but he'll have a fight on his hands as George Ezra's Shotgun is predicted to climb into the top three.
