Cold Chisel Debut At #1 On ARIA Albums Chart With ‘Blood Moon’

Cold Chisel will embark on a huge Aussie tour in 2020.

There’s no denying the love Aussies have for local legends Cold Chisel as the band’s ninth LP, Blood Moon, shoots to the top of the ARIA Albums chart.

Blood Moon is the band’s first #1 since 1998’s The Last Wave Of Summer, and marks their fourth top placing studio LP.

On the new album, The Music reviewer Tim Kroenert noted: “These old rock dogs haven’t got any new tricks, but they are far from ready to roll over and play dead.”

The only other album to debut in the top 10 this week is the second LP from American-Cuban singer-songwriter Camila Cabello, Romance, while Kylie Minogue's latest live recording, Golden, debuts at #13.

Following his passing earlier this week, two Juice WRLD releases, Goodbye & Good Riddance (#39) and Death Race For Love (#46), have re-entered the chart, as has Roxette’s The 30 Biggest Hits compilation (#38), following the passing of singer Marie Fredriksson.
