And Justice Crew make history
Aussie pop-rock boy band 5 Seconds Of Summer have debuted at number one in this week's ARIA Albums Chart, while singing-dance outfit Justice Crew have made history over in the ARIA Singles Chart.
Starting off with the albums and 5SOS's self-titled album, as expected, edged out the latest record from Hillsong, No Other Name, which landed at two. These debuts pushed English crooner Ed Sheeran and his most recent record X down to three, with global rock favourites Coldplay moving down into fourth with Ghost Stories.
Local indie-electro whiz Chet Faker enjoyed a huge rise back up the chart - his debut LP Built On Glass jumped from 26 to seven. Fellow Aussies Illy (Cinematic), Pierce Brothers (The Night Tree) and Kylie Minogue (The Best Of Kylie Minogue) moved back into the 40 this week, at 26, 38 and 39 respectively.
International album debuts this week came from the Jersey Boys soundtrack, in at 27 and Every Time I Die's From Parts Unknown - landing at 32.

Over to the singles now and Justice Crew have made history as having the longest running number one single (Que Sera) by an Australian artist in the official ARIA chart, surpassing Gotye & Kimbra, Savage Garden and Austen Tayshus, who they equalled last week.
Adelaide-bred singer-songwriter Sia enjoyed a slight bump back up the chart with her anthem Chandelier moving from eight to second in the space of a week. Her new album 1000 Forms Of Fear was released yesterday (Friday 4 July). Internationals Nico & Vinz (Am I Wrong?) and The Madden Brothers (We Are Done) stayed around the top spectrum of the chart, at three and four respectively.
A few Aussies debuted in the 40 this week, with returning hip hop legends Hilltop Hoods the leaders of the bunch. Their new single Won't Let You Down scored 17th place, while indie-pop six-piece Sheppard debuted at 35 with their Geronimo follow-up Something's Missing. DJ and singer Alison Wonderland also placed in the 40 with her latest I Want U.
