Dan Sultan & 'The Voice' Winner To Duke It Out For #1 Against Ed Sheeran On ARIA Chart

Despite Ed Sheeran being knocked from #1 last week by Lana Del Rey, the UK superstar is expected to regain top spot on the ARIA Albums chart this week, unless Australia's own talent beat him to it. 

According to midweek figures, though Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) is the hot favourite, Dan Sultan's third LP, Killer, and the latest The Voice winner Judah Kelly's debut, Count On Me, are predicted to land comfortably in the top five. 

While Sultan is primed to land his highest position on the Albums chart with Killer (which was also our Album Of The Week), Kelly could follow in the footsteps of fellow The Voice winners, Karise Eden and Harrison Craig, with a top-charting debut LP.

Meanwhile, rock heavyweight Alice Cooper's Paranormal, Arcade Fire's Everything Now, Passenger's The Boy Who Cried Wolf and the Carole King compilation are all predicted to debut in the top ten this week.

Also debuting on the Albums chart this week include Perth metalcore outfit Make Them Suffer's Worlds Apart (top 20), Shane Nicholson's Love & Blood, Michael Ball & Alfie Boe's Together (both top 30) and O'Shea's 61-615 (top 40).

Moving over to the Singles chart, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's Despacito, featuring Justin Bieber, is yet again the favourite to hold on to the #1 position for an 11th-straight week, though you should see Kesha's latest track, Praying, featuring Sydney's All Our Exes Live In Texas, land in the top five.

Expect to also see new tracks on the Singles chart this week from Skrillex and Poo Bear with Would You Ever (top 30), Snakehips and Anne-Marie's Either Way, featuring Joey Bada$$, Rudimental 's Sun Comes Up, featuring James Arthur, Charli XCX's Boys (all top 40), Rag'N'Bone Man's Skin, Bruno Mars' Versace On The Floor and Macklemore's Marmalade, featuring Lil Yachty (all top 50).
