Can Bernard Fanning Take #1 From QOTSA?

There is a wall of releases coming down on Queens Of The Stone Age's …Like Clockwork this week as the current number on of the ARIA Album Charts attempts to hold the top spot.

According to midweek figures, slightly delayed this week, the main challenges will come from new releases, including Powderfinger frontman Bernard Fanning's Departures and Black Sabbath's 13.

13 is the first Sabbath album fronted by Ozzy Osbourne since 1978 and it is expected to top the American Billboard charts tomorrow – which will be the UK metal icons' best US result.

Another album sniffing around the top ten is Wolfmother frontman Andrew Stockdale's Keep Moving, while further down top 50 debuts will come from Jimmy Eat World's Damage, the Fast & The Furious 6 soundtrack, Boards Of Canada's Tomorrow's Harvest and post-Oasis outfit Beady Eye's BE.

The debut album from Sydney's Jagwar Ma – Howlin' – will also feature.

In the ARIA Singles Chart Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines (featuring T.I. and Pharrell) should make it six in a row – the longest consecutive streak on 2013 – and hold off regulars Daft Punk's Get Lucky and Passengers' Let Her Go.

This week the big movers come from 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa's We Own It, which is the lead single of Fast And The Furious. The Voice's impact will come from Harrison Craig.
