Peter Garrett & Good Charlotte To Battle For This Week's Aus #1 Album

He's enjoyed a number of Aussie #1 albums with Midnight Oil and Peter Garrett is well on track to score top spot on this week's ARIA Albums Chart with his first solo effort, A Version Of Now, but it appears the only thing stopping him from claiming top prize is US pop-punkers Good Charlotte.

The veteran outfit, fronted by Joel and Benji Madden, are also in frame to take out the week's highest debut with their sixth offering, Youth Authority.

It may surprise some to know that if the Maryland-founded band were to debut at #1, it would mark just their second top-charting album in the country, on the back of 2004's The Chronicles Of Life & Death.

While Garrett and Good Charlotte will need to fight off The Avalanches, Delta Goodrem and Blink-182 who took out the top three placings respectively last week, the only other album debuts looking to place in the top 20 is Emma Louise's Supercry and the film soundtrack for the Ghostbusters reboot.

Rounding out the pack this week includes Steven Tyler's We're All Somebody From Somewhere, Jeff Beck's Loud Hailer, Victoria rockers Stonefield with As Above, So Below, Splendour 2016 act Michael Kiwanuka's Love & Hate and NeedToBreathe's Hard Love.

Over on the Singles Chart, Brisbane duo The Veronicas finally dethroned Drake's One Dance from top spot with their hit track, In My Blood, but their reign at #1 may be short-lived thanks to US pop star Katy Perry.

The singer's new song Rise, written for the upcoming Olympics, is set to burst straight to the top of the chart and is expected to finish in the top three, while Sydney outfit 5 Seconds Of Summer's Girls Talk Boys is likely to debut in the top ten.

Also expect to hear new tracks from Britney Spears with Make Me featuring G-Eazy, Snakehips' Cruel featuring Zayn and Good Charlotte's Don't Hurt Me.
