Foo FightersIt was always going to be a two-horse race and Foo Fighters have emerged victorious, picking up their sixth-straight #1 Aussie album with Concrete & Gold.
As predicted in the midweek figures, the iconic rockers fended off Aussie duo Angus & Julia Stone's Snow, which debuted on the ARIA Albums chart at #2 and in doing so, ended the Sydney sibling's chance of scoring three-straight #1 albums.
Ed Sheeran's รท (Divide) continued its incredible hold on the chart to place at #3, while, as expected, Gang Of Youths' Go Farther In The Lightness, crept back into the top five to chart at #4.
Last week's top-charting album, Anthony Callea's ARIA Number 1 Hits In Symphony rounded out the top five.
Other records that debuted on the Albums chart this week included Prophets Of Rage's self-titled debut (#11), Elvis Presley compilation, The 50 Greatest Hits (#14), Madonna's live Rebel Heart Tour LP (#20), Tired Lion's Dumb Days (#21), Caligula's Horse's In Contact (#50), Future Friends' Part Two (#55) and Gary Numan's Savage (Songs From A Broken World) (#76).
Meanwhile, Sam Smith managed to hold off some tough competition to retain top spot on the Singles chart with Too Good At Goodbyes.
