Midweek figures showing gains for top Hottest 100 names and touring acts

The triple j Hottest 100 and recent tours are set to be the catalysts for the big moves in the ARIA Charts this week, with Vance Joy and Flume & Chet Faker possibly looking at their highest spots yet.

Vance Joy's Riptide took out the influential poll and, though it's still early in the week, midweek figures are showing that it will jump from 35 and could get to its previous peak of seven. Flume and Faker's track Drop The Game is currently at 31, and midweeks show it pushing its previous peak of 21.

Lorde's The Love Club EP, which features the Hottest 100's number two Royals, is also enjoying a resurgence from 28 and The Preatures' Is This How You Feel? will finally enter the chart after finishing ninth in the listener-voted poll.

Up the top of the singles chart Pharrell's Happy continues to roll on at one, but London Grammar's Strong and A Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera's Say Something are quickly closing ground. Picking up a Grammy Award and landing tenth on the 100, Daft Punk and Pharrell's Get Lucky is also enjoying a sales boost.
