Crowded House might be claiming their fifth Australian #1 album this week. 

According to mid-week figures, the much-loved Australia/New Zealand group are currently gunning for the top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart with their latest release Dreamers Are Waiting. 

The release is their first studio album in over a decade, following on from 2010's Intriguer. 

If the album claims the #1 as predicted, this will give the group their fifth #1 with a studio album, joining alongside classics like 1986 debut Crowded House, 1988's Temple Of Low Men, 2007's Time On Earth and Intriguer. 

1991's Woodface and 1993's Together Alone are Crowded House's only studio albums not to hit #1, with both peaking at #2 on release. The group also scored the #1 spot for their first greatest hits release, Recurring Dream: The Very Best Of Crowded House back in 1996. 

The Music called Dreamers Are Waiting "a clear heralding of a new type of Crowded House" - read the four star review here.
