Melbourne's 'The Simpsons' Inspired Doom Rock Band Likely To Land On This Week's Charts

Dr Colossus is in for a good week.

The Simpsons themed doom rock group Dr Colossus are looking likely to make an appearance on this week's ARIA Albums Chart

According to mid-week figures, the Melbourne group are looking likely to make their Top 30 debut this week thanks to their latest album I'm A Stupid Moron With An Ugly Face & A Big Butt & My Butt Smells & I Like To Kiss My Own Butt, a throwback to classic era-The Simpsons

Complete with tracks like So Long Stinktown, Sex Cauldron, Lard Lad and more, the album's success has been bolstered by its vinyl run which included a Flaming Moe themed colour variant. 

The Music caught up with the band a couple of years back to find out more about their work and also more about their legitimate fan following in Shelbyville. Read the story here.


Looking at the wider chart, Olivia Rodrigo's debut album Sour is looking likely to take out the Top 3 on debut, with P!nk's All I Know So Far: Setlist also vying in for the top spot. Twenty One Pilots are gunning for Top 5 with their latest Scared & Icy.

Interestingly, My Bloody Valentine could make their highest ever Australian chart appearances off the back of their re-released albums Loveless and Isn't Anything which are expected to land in the Top 5 and Top 40 respectively. 

The Eurovision Song Contest is set to make an impact too with the official album for the Rotterdam 2021 event likely to land in the Top 20, while Gary Numan's latest, Intruder, is looking at Top 30. 

Over on the Singles Chart, BTS' Butter is gunning for Top 5 while Bella Poarch is looking at Top 30 for Build A Bitch and Vance Joy's latest, Missing Piece, is aiming for Top 50. 

Last week The Music shared that Boney M's classic track Rasputin was enjoying some time on the UK Charts thanks to its recent TikTok success. The track, which is officially released by Majestic Vs Boney M, is expected to make an appearance in this week's Top 50.
