5 Seconds Of Summer Set To Break Near Seven-year Drought On ARIA Charts This Week

5 Seconds Of Summer are primed to break a near-seven year drought on the ARIA charts this week. 

The Sydney outfit's new album, Youngblood, is the favourite to debut at #1 on the Albums chart, while they are also likely to retain top spot on the Singles chart for a fifth-straight week. 

If they are successful in doing so, they will be the first Australian act to hold #1 on both lists since August 2011, last held by Gotye with his third LP, Making Mirrors, and global hit, Somebody That I Used To Know.

It comes only weeks after 5SOS became the first local act to hit top spot on the Singles chart in almost two years.

Other albums debuting on the chart this week expected to land inside the top 20 include Christina Aguilera's Liberation (top 5), Mike Shinoda's Post Traumatic (top 10) and Jess & Matt's Songs From The Village (top 15).

Rounding out the debuts this week is The Carters' Everything Is Love (top 25), State Champs' Living Proof, Cosmo's Midnight's What Comes Next, Nas' Nasir (all top 30), Buddy Guy's The Blues Is Alive & Well, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever's Hope Downs and Ruel's Ready (all top 40).

Over on the Singles chart, Anne-Marie's 2002 is expected to be the only track that could potentially threaten dethroning 5SOS' Youngblood from #1, as it moves up into the top five. 

New singles cracking the list this week includes Nicki Minaj's Bed, featuring Ariana Grande (top 20), Martin Garrix's Ocean, featuring Khalid, Conrad Sewell's Healing Hands (both top 40), Troye Sivan's Dance To This, featuring Ariana Grande, and Kygo & Imagine Dragons' Born To Be Yours (both top 50).
