Josh Pyke ProfileAussie singer Josh Pyke and Indigenous songwriter Gurrumul are set to battle it out for the top spot in this weeks ARIA Albums Chart, with the two artists' respective albums aiming for a top three finish.
Pyke's latest record, But For All These Shrinking Hearts is looking to be the 37-year-old's highest debuting chart entry, after his second album Chimney's Afire landed the #3 position back in 2008. We here at theMusic dug the album so much, we gave it a four-star rating. Check out the review here.
Meanwhile, Gurrumul is in an identical position to Pyke, with his third studio album The Gospel Album also set to be the musician's highest ever chart entry — his 2008 self-titled album and 2011's Rrakala both debuted at #3. Gurrumul's new work earned our pick for Album Of The Week — read what we thought about it here.
Also debuting new albums this week include British folk singer Lianna La Havas with Blood, Buddy Guy's Born To Play Guitar and The Internet's third studio album, Ego Death.
Over on the Singles Chart, expect to hear new tunes this week from English electro duo Disclosure's new track Omen, featuring fellow Brit Sam Smith and Aussie artist Tigerlily with Paradise, which is expected to crack the top 50.
Mega boy-band One Direction are expected to score the highest single debut and finish in the top three with their new hit, Drag Me Down.
