Bring Me The Horizon Land Second Consecutive #1 Album

UK metalcore outfit Bring Me The Horizon have roared to their second consecutive ARIA Albums Chart number one this week, with their album Sempiternal knocking off Justin Timberlake and holding Passenger at bay.

The band, who until recently featured Aussie Jona Weinhofen, were picked last week as contenders to this week's throne and the Soundwave band's emerged as this week's highest debut. Back in 2010 their previous record There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let's Keep It A Secret was a surprise number one debut, but it did so with sales of just 3,600 copies. At the time it was the lowest number of sales for a number one in Australian chart history, but Sempiternal considerably outsold its predecessor.

Frontman Oli Sykes issued a statement, saying, “Australia has always had a special place in our hearts, and the tours and festivals we have played over there have always been incredible – but this is something else! To have our second number one album on the other side of the world is just unbelievable. We cannot even begin to thank the fans, seriously. We will be making plans to visit as soon as possible now. On behalf of the whole band, we love you Australia.”

In their homeland the band debuted at three.

Still boosted by the surge of single Let Her Be, Passenger's All The Little Lights retained number two this week, with Pink's The Truth About Love at three, Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience at four and Ed Sheeran's + at five. American metal band Killswitch Engage debuted at six with Disarm The Descent – their first top ten result. The band's previous high was Killswitch Engage II at 12 in July 2009.

Aussie Russell Morris landed his first top ten with new album Sharkmouth. The legendary ARIA Hall Of Fame member has finally cracked the magic 'ten' barrier on the record's 12th week in the chart. It was at 16 last week and is now the highest ranked album by an Australian artist. His highest previous ranking was Bloodstone in 1971, which peaked at 12.

Rodriguez also cracked a milestone, with the Searching For Sugar Man soundtrack up into 17 from 25 – his first top 20. Previously Cold Fact reached 23 in July 1978.

Other top 50 debuts include Depeche Mode's Delta Machine at 16, Tyler, The Creator's Wolf, Deez Nuts's Bout It at 35, Blake Shelton's Based On A True Story… at 38 and Steve Miller Band's Complete Greatest Hits.

Passenger holds top spot in the ARIA Singles Chart with Let Her Go, with MKTO jumping to two with Thank You ahead of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton's Can't Hold Us slipping to three.

The top local single comes from The Stafford Brothers featuring Lil Wayne and Christina Milian, with Hello jumping to ten from 15 last week. It's the Stafford Brothers' first top ten.
