Bruce v Madonna.

It's a huge showdown for the top spot on this week's ARIA Albums Chart with Madonna and Bruce Springsteen competing for the #1 album. 

Both Madonna's Madame X and Springsteen's Western Stars are expected to debut in the top three according to mid-week figures. 

If Madonna takes out the top spot, she will be tied for the record of artist with the most #1 albums on the ARIA Albums Chart alongside Jimmy Barnes, who picked up the accolade only weeks ago

Springsteen's album picked up a four-star review from The Music, with the work being dubbed "is another incredible chapter in the career of Springsteen".
