Our Aussie Acts Have Absolutely Smashed The Global Charts This Week

It's been a big week on the charts for Aussie acts with a stack of new albums landing in the top 30 charts around the globe.

AC/DC have claimed their third-ever US #1 album with Power Up.

This is the first time that the group have hit the top spot in the US since 2016's Black Ice, ending a 35 year long break from their last US #1 (1981's For Those About To Rock We Salute You).

The rock legends have also held onto the top spot at home too, landing at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart for the second week in a row. Their run continues on the UK Charts as well, shuffling down two places from last week to land at #3.

The UK is proving to be a strong territory for Australian artists this week, with a further three landing within the top 30. Kylie Minogue moves down five places from last week to #10 with DISCO, while Nick Cave's Idiot Prayer: Nick Cave Alone At Alexandra Palace debuts at #18 and Tim Minchin's Apart Together debuts at #27.
