Dune Rats On Course For Second Straight #1 Album On ARIA Charts

It's been three years since Dune Rats released an album and clearly it's been worth the wait. 

According to midweek figures, the Brisbane group's third record, Hurry Up & Wait, is on track to debut at #1 on this week's ARIA Albums chart, which would gift the trio their second-straight top charting album on the back of 2017's The Kids Will Know It's Bullshit.

Hurry Up & Wait also scored our pick for Album Of The Week; click here to find out why.

Dune Rats will have to fight off One Direction member Louis Tomlinson's debut effort, Walls, which is also predicted to place in the top three, as well as Chillinit's The Octagon which is aiming for a top five finish. 

Other album debuts this week include Meghan Trainor's Treat Myself (top ten), Kesha's High Road (top 20) and Lil Wayne's Funeral (top 50).

Over on the Singles chart, expect to see The Weeknd's Blinding Lights and Tones & I's Dance Monkey again fight it out for the #1 spot, however it's likely that US rapper Roddy Ricch's The Box will climb into the top five after placing at #6 last week.

New entries on the Singles chart this week include Taylor Swift's Only The Young (top 30), Dua Lipa's Physical (top 40) and The Rubens' Live In Life.
