The Rubens are looking likely to score their first-ever #1 album this weekend. 

According to ARIA Chart mid-week figures, the group are currently projected for a Top 3 debut for their new album, 0202, which dropped last week. The group recently shared an exclusive track-by-track look at the making of the album, check it out here.
