It took a 'Dangerous Woman' to bring down Urban

More Keith Urban More Keith Urban

It seemed although nothing was going to bump Keith Urban’s new record from first place on the ARIA Albums Chart, but after a two week stint at #1, US pop star Ariana Grande has claimed the throne with her new record, Dangerous Woman.

The third album from the 22 year old knocked Urban’s ninth record, Ripcord, down to #3, after a two weeks at #1 in Australia that saw him block Radiohead, The Living End and Paul Dempsey from top honours.

Ripcord has also spent the past two weeks at #1 on the Canadian Billboard Country chart and US Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

The top five sees a pop overload, with Beyonce’s Lemonade holding steady at #2, Meghan Trainor’s Thank You moving down to #4 and Adele’s 25 at #5.

Rock legends Eric Clapton (I Still Do at #10) and Bob Dylan (Fallen Angels at #11) scored top 20 debuts as well as Blake Shelton’s If I’m Honest placing #13.

Other debuts include Highasakite’s Camp Echo (#24), IssuesHeadspace (#36) and Saosin’s Along The Way (#44).

Over on the Singles Chart, Drake’s One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla shows no signs of moving anytime soon, maintaining a stronghold on #1, while The Amity Affliction’s I Bring The Weather With Me debuted at #53 and Martin Solveig’s collab with Tkay Maidza, Do It Right came in at #56.
