The Wombats ProfileEnglish indie rock outfit The Wombats have debuted at #2 on the ARIA Album Charts with their new record, Glitterbug.
Announced as part of a massive Splendour In The Grass line-up during the week, frontman Matthew Murphy recently gave us a track-by-track breakdown of the album, which you can check out here. The band's last album The Modern Glitch peaked at #2 here in 2011.
The new record from the English rockers was held out of the top spot by Lee Kernaghan's Spirit Of The ANZACS, which holds its place at #1 for the fourth consecutive week. The soundtrack to Fast And Furious 7 holds its place at #3 as the blockbuster screens around the globe — it's hit #1 on the Digital Albums chart.

US heritage artist Bette Midler came in one notch ahead of Tyler with It's The Girls at #12 — a sure sign that the Mothers Day market is hotting up.
