Check out the midweek predictions.

On the back of his Super Bowl halftime performance this weekJustin Timberlake​ is on his way to scoring #1 on the ARIA ​Albums chart with his fifth studio LP, Man Of The Woods​.

According to midweek figures, the US artist's new record is on track to debut in the top three and could contend for top spot which would mark his third #1 album in the country. 

However, Australia's own Shannon Noll​​, who is proving to be a fan favourite on the current series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, is also gunning for his third top-charting album with ​Unbroken ​which is primed to finish in the top five, as are Brisbane duo ​DZ Deathrays​ with Bloody Lovely​.

All three albums will be pushing to debut in the top bracket, which could see a shuffle from last week's top five which included The Greatest Showman soundtrack, ​Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) and P!nk's Beautiful Trauma​.
