It's A Farnsey/ONJ Kind Of Christmas; New LP Set To Stay #1 In Aus

After pushing its way to the top of the ARIA Albums chart this past weekend, John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John's holiday record, Friends For Christmas, is expected to hold onto #1 leading up to 25 December.

Much like last week, the biggest threat to the title is Michael Buble's Christmas LP which came in at #2, but you could see those last-minute Xmas sales shake things up a bit.

The only debuting albums this week come from US legend Neil Diamond with Acoustic Christmas and the soundtrack for new animated musical-comedy, Sing. Both are primed for a top 50 debut.

It looks to be a similar story on the Singles chart with last week's #1 —  Clean Bandit's Rockabye featuring Sean Paul and Anne-Marie — likely having to fend off heavyweight pop duo Zayn & Taylor Swift's I Don't Wanna Live Forever which debuted last week at #3.

Bruno Mars' latest single 24K Magic is also set to burst into the top three of the chart.
