Foo Fighters And Angus & Julia Stone To Duke It Out For #1 On Aussie Albums Chart

Foo Fighters are gunning for their sixth-straight #1 album in Australia, while Angus & Julia Stone are aiming for their third-straight #1… but somebody's streak is coming to an end. 

According to midweek figures, the Fooeys' ninth LP, Concrete & Gold, is the favourite to take out top spot on the ARIA Albums chart this week, but they'll have to fend off the Stone siblings whose fourth record, Snow, is also expected to debut in the top three and contend for top spot.

If that wasn't enough competition for you, rap-rock supergroup Prophets Of Rage's self-titled debut album is also predicted to debut in the top five, while Sydney outfit Gang Of Youths' Go Farther In The Lightness could climb back into the top five after it debuted at #1 last month.

Other albums debuting on the chart this week include Madonna's live Rebel Heart Tour LP (top 15), Elvis Presley compilation, The 50 Greatest Hits and Tired Lion's Dumb Days (both top 20), as well as Caligula's Horse's In Contact (top 30), Future Friends' Part Two (top 40) and Gary Numan's Savage (Songs From A Broken World) (top 50).

Over on the Singles chart, Sam Smith's reign on top with Too Good At Goodbyes could be short-lived, due to a few hit tracks moving their way up the list. 

Not only are Taylor Swift tracks, Look What You Made Me Do and … Ready For It?, expected to stay solid in the top five, but Dua Lipa's New Rules and P!nk's What About Us are predicted to challenge for a spot in the top three. 

Other debuts this week come from Post Malone with Rockstar, featuring 21 Savage (top 20), Niall Horan with Too Much To Ask (top 25), Skrillex and Poo Bear's Would You Ever (top 40) and the remix of Lorde's Homemade Dynamite, featuring Khalid, SZA and Post Malone (top 50).
