If scoring a #1 Australian debut wasn't already a big enough deal, the success of Amy Shark's Love Monster LP has continued in the US. 

The Queensland artist's debut record has landed at #2 on the US Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, placing just behind US post-hardcore outfit Hopesfall's Arbiter at #1.
