Bon Jovi Beats David Bowie To The Top

Sticky Fingers, Gold Fields also enjoy entries

More Bon Jovi Bon Jovi Profile

Bon Jovi's new album What About Now has debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart this week, beating out David Bowie's comeback The Next Day, which managed two. Bon Jovi is heavily rumoured to tour Australia on his album world tour.

The three new entries into the top ten were all international, with the other being the soundtrack to Dave Grohl's Sound City – Real To Reel documentary. There was success for locals though, with the SXSW-buzz generating Gold Fields debuting at 32 with Black Sun and Sydney's Sticky Fingers managing a very impressive 39 with Caress Your Soul.

Currently on tour a new release from Bruce Springsteen, Collection: 1973 – 2012, debuted at 15 while the posthumous Jimi Hendrix album People, Hell & Angels debuted at 29.

Pink has scored a fourth non-consecutive week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart with Just Give Me A Reason, featuring Ruess. It held off a strong challenge from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton's Can't Hold Us, which entered at two this week. Local DJ duo Stafford Brothers debuted at 18 with Hello, which features Lil Wayne and Christina Milian. Bliss N Eso's House Of Dreams entered the top 50 at 47.
