Tame Impala Vs Justin Bieber: Who Will Take Out #1 On The ARIA Chart This Week?

The battle for #1 on this week's ARIA Albums chart is expected to come down to an Australian heavyweight and a global superstar. 

According to the ARIA midweek figures, Tame Impala's The Slow Rush (our pick for Album Of The Week!) and Justin Bieber's Changes should both debut in the top three and are the heavy favourites to battle it out for top spot.

While Tame will look to post his second straight #1 Aussie album following 2015's Currents, Bieber is in the running for his third straight local #1 album and his fourth overall. Check out our track by track review of Changes here.

Meanwhile, on the back of Sunday's Fire Fight Australia event and Queen's current Australian stadium tour, the soundtrack to the 2018 Bohemian Rhapsody feature film is predicted to climb into the top ten after placing at #15 last week.

Over on the Singles chart, Billie Eilish's new James Bond theme song, No Time To Die, is predicted to debut in the top three and is set to put pressure on The Weeknd's Blinding Lights which has remained on top for four weeks straight.

Other songs expected to debut on the chart this week include Bieber's Forever featuring Post Malone and Clever (top 30), Sam Smith's To Die For, Surfaces' Sunday Best (both top 40) and Tame Impala's Borderline (top 50).

Expect to also see Bieber's recent singles, Intentions featuring Quavo, and Yummy, jump into the top five and 10 respectively.
