Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds On Track For Third Straight #1 Album On This Week's Charts

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds could pick up their third straight #1 album this week with their latest release, Ghosteen. 

According to ARIA Chart midweek figures, the album (their 17th studio album) is expected to land within the top five on the ARIA Albums Chart.

The group's previous albums Skeleton Tree (2016) and Push The Sky Away (2013) also debuted at #1.

"The songs on the first album are the children," said Cave of Ghosteen. "The songs on the second album are their parents. Ghosteen is a migrating spirit." 

City & Colour's A Pill For Loneliness is likely to make a top ten debut, as is The Darkness' Easter Is Cancelled. Summer Walker's Over It and Melbourne rapper Maundz's True North are looking at top 20. Aussie trio Dyson Stringer Cloher are set for top 25 with their self-titled work, alongside Dermot Kennedy's Without Fear. Wilco's latest, Ode To Joy, is likely for top 50. 

Elton John's Diamonds is looking at moving into the top 10, while Tyler, The Creator's Igor and Lizzo's Cuz I Love You are looking at top 20 and top 30 respectively. 

Tones & I made ARIA chart history last week with her track Dance Monkey recording the longest streak at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for an Australian artist. The Byron Bay artist is under threat of losing the top spot to US artist Travis Scott, with Scott's Highest In The Room looking to debut in the top three. 

Dan & Shay are looking at the top 10 with their Justin Bieber collab track 10,000 Hours, while French Montana's Writing On The Wall (feat. Post Malone, Cardi B & RVSSIAN) is likely for top 50. 

Expected to make moves around the Singles chart is Maroon 5's Memories (top 10), Regard's Ride It (top 15), Lizzo's Good As Hell (top 15) and blackbear's Hot Girl Bummer (top 20).
