Amyl & The Sniffers Top The Aus Vinyl Chart With Debut Album

It’s been a big week for Melbourne rockers Amyl & The Sniffers, who, after scoring a massive mural in London, have now topped the Australian Vinyl chart with their new self-titled LP.

The band’s new album has shot to the top of the ARIA Vinyl chart to debut at #1, while also scoring a #22 debut on the ARIA Albums chart AND debuting at #91 in the UK.

The Music reviewer Chris Familton said Amyl & The Sniffers “show the power of simplicity, attitude and abandon on their debut self-titled album.

“It’s a lean 11 songs that capture the spirit and verve of their live shows surprisingly well as they avoid unnecessary studio sheen.”

Sydney outfit Middle Kids have also scored multiple entries, with their latest release, New Songs For Old Problems, sitting at #3 on the Vinyl chart and debuting at #44 on the Albums chart.

Also over on the Albums chart, Prince Ali has taken down Elton John as the soundtrack for Disney’s live-action Aladdin debuts at #4, while biopic Rocketman’s soundtrack lands at #6 as John’s Diamonds re-enters the top 10 (#8) and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road moves back into the top 50 (#40).

Over on the Singles chart, Lil Nas X holds onto #1 with Old Town Road, while Ed Sheeran, Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock's new collab, Cross Me, debuts at #6 as 5 Seconds Of Summer's Easier (#12), Young Thug's The London feat. J Cole and Travis Scott (#17) and Joyner Lucas' ISIS (#41) also debut inside the top 50.
