Coldplay Or Troye Sivan; Who Will Challenge Adele For #1?

After dominating the ARIA Albums Chart for the past fortnight, UK mega-star Adele looks to have some hefty competition this week in the form of fellow British act Coldplay and Perth-based singer Troye Sivan.

While Adele's 25 went multi-platinum after one week of it being released and generally blitzed album charts around the world, Coldplay look to challenge the singer for #1 with their seventh studio album A Head Full Of Dreams.

Sivan's debut record Blue Neighbourhood is also a dark horse contender for top spot as his EP Wild peaked at #1 this past September, though he is expected to comfortably crack the top ten this week. 

Rounding out the album debuts include US rapper G-Eazy's When It's Dark, posthumous Roy Orbison record One Of The Lonely Ones and Bruce Springsteen's box set compilation, The Ties That Bind: The River Collection.

Over on the Singles Chart, Aussie hip hop trio Hilltop Hoods are set to smash into the top ten with their track, Higher, featuring James Chatburn, just days after announcing their 2016 orchestra tour. 

Keep your ear out for new songs this week from UK producer Sigala with Sweet Lovin', Lost Frequencies' Reality and Australia's own Chet Faker with Marcus Marr's Work.
