Mothers Day To Dominate ARIA Charts

Michael Buble, Rod Stewart and Rudimental on the list

Mothers Day releases have been finding their way into the ARIA Album Chart in recent weeks and they're set to dominate the debuts this week.

Current number one Michael Buble will look to hold the top spot for a fourth straight week, with midweek figures indicating a few mothers will receive To Be Loved this year.

Other strong performers this week include Rod Stewart's Time (his first self-penned material in 15 years), Andre Rieu's Mother & Child – Lullabies The Whole World Loves (which debuted at 50 this week) and Korean pianist Yiruma with The Best – Reminiscent 10th Anniversary. US country stars Lady Antebellum are also tracking well with Golden.

The odd ones out are UK drum'n'bass outfit Rudimental, whose Home is shaping up as one of the biggest releases of the week. Further single releases from the record should make it a long-term stayer as well.

Daft Punk look set to hold top spot in the ARIA Singles Chart with Get Lucky (with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rogers) as the top three remains its status quo. Passenger's Let Her Go (two) and Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines (featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams – three) tracking steady.
