Camp Cope Set To Crack Top Five On ARIA Chart With New Album

Check out the midweek figures.

Following praise from critics and fans alike, Camp Cope are set to score the highest local debut on this week's ARIA Albums chart. 

According to midweek figures, the Melbourne trio's sophomore studio LP, How To Socialise & Make Friends, is on track to debut in the top five of the chart — check out our review here.

It comes after the band's 2016 self-titled debut record peaked at #36 on the list. 

Camp Cope will be in the race for top spot against last week's chart-topper, fellow Aussie Vance Joy's Nation Of Two and Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide), which is expected to climb back into the top three amidst the UK songwriter's current record-breaking Australian stadium tour.

Meanwhile, Camp Cope will kick off a headline tour in support of their album next week; click on theGuide for a look at all of the venues and dates.

Other entries on the Albums chart this week includes K-pop artist j-hope's Hope World (predicted to debut in the top ten), as well as Andrew Swift's Call Out For The Cavalry and Celtic Thunder's Celtic Thunder X (both top 50).
