Adam Harvey & Troy Cassar-Daley rocket up albums chart
Soon to be touring Bruce Springsteen has debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart today with his new album High Hopes.
Knocking Beyoncé's self-titled record down to three, the Boss – who has a renewed love affair with Australia after his 2013 tour and swift return – was last on the top rung in Australia in 1995 with Greatest Hits. Prior to that its thirty years ago since Born In The USA topped the charts.
Artists on the Tamworth Country Music Festival and Big Day Out bill received boosts this week also, with the biggest one being Adam Harvey and Troy Cassar-Daley's The Great Country Songbook, which rocketed from 88 to 16. The surge denies McAlister Kemp a number one country album, with Harder To Tame debuting at 18 this week. (Lee Kernaghan's Beautiful Noise is back in at 80, incidentally.)
Further down, Arcade Fire's Reflektor jumped from 55 to 32, while there were also debuts from Warpaint's self-titled at 35, A Great Big World's Is There Anybody Out There? At 45 and Switchfoot's Fading West at 50.
