More Gang Of Youths More Gang Of Youths

Either ARIA-nominated Sydney rockers Gang Of Youths or young punk act Hellions could've been cheering over an ARIA #1 album this week, if boy band behemoth Human Nature hadn't again taken out the top spot for two weeks in a row.

Still, the two bands' final chart positions are no mean feat, with Gang Of Youths taking out the #2 spot with their new EP Let Me Be Clear and Hellions taking home the #4 spot with Opera Oblivia, marking both bands' highest chart position to date.

The Voice winner Alfie Arcuri came in at #5 with Zenith and DJ Khaled rounded out the top #10 debuts with Major Key at #6, while the rest of the top echelon was filled with unshakeable records from Adele, Beyonce, Keith Urban and Delta Goodrem.

Punk icons Descendents and Billy Talent scored #19 and #26 with their new records Hypercaffium Spazzinate and Afraid Of Heights respectively, with mysterious DJ ZHU coming in at #35 with GenerationWhy, the Absolutely Fabulous soundtrack coming in at #38, Jarryd James' High at #40, Jake Owen's American Love at #55, Bryan & Katie Torwalt's Champion at #75, Hillary Scott & The Scott Family's Love Remains at #81 and Don Burrows & James Morrison's In Good Company at #90.
