Nick Cave's 'Ghosteen' Scores Highest Debut Spot On This Week's ARIA Chart

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' latest album, Ghosteen, has scored the highest debut spot on this week's ARIA Albums Chart landing at #7.

Cave and co have sadly missed out on picking up their third-straight #1 album after Skeleton Tree and Push The Sky Away scored the top spot in 2016 and 2013 respectively. This is the group's 17th studio album. 

City & Colour's latest, A Pill For Loneliness, has also debuted within the top 10 landing at #8. 

Also debuting in the top 40 this week is The Darkness' Easter Is Cancelled (#22), Wilco's Ode To Joy (#23), Angel Olsen's All Mirrors (#27) and Dermot Kennedy's Without Fear (#37). 

Post Malone's Hollywood's Bleeding has held onto the #1 spot again this week, while Ed Sheeran's No. 6 Collaborations Project and Taylor Swift's Lover sit at #2 and #3. 

Over on the Singles Chart, it's another huge week for Tones & I (real name Toni Watson) with Dance Monkey which has held onto its #1 spot for a huge 11 weeks. 

This now qualifies Watson as the longest-running solo female artist at #1, beating Whitney Houston and Sandi Thom. To claim the all-time record on the ARIA Singles chart, Dance Monkey will need to spend 16 weeks at #1 to surpass Ed Sheeran’s Shape Of You.

Post Malone's Circles remains at #2, while Travis Scott's Highest In The Room debuts at #3 and Dan + Shay's 10,000 Hours with Justin Bieber makes its first chart appearance at #4. They represent the only new tracks in the top 40 this week.

Lizzo's Good As Hell moves up two positions to #14 this week, while her track Truth Hurts loses five spots to land at #20. 

Tones & I's Never Seen The Rain moves up one spot to #22 while Johnny Run Away rounds out the top 40, moving down four spots from last week.
