Check out the midweeks!

In case you were living under a rock and weren't already aware, Taylor Swift has released a new album and, fair warning, it is going to own this week's ARIA charts. 

According to midweek figures, the US superstar's seventh record, Lover, is primed to debut in at least the top three of the Albums chart and is likely to score Swift her fifth-straight Australian #1 LP. 

Meanwhile, expect to see two other Swift albums, 2017's Reputation and 2014's 1989, re-enter the top 20 and top 40 respectively.

Check out our track by track of Lover here.


Other album debuts this week include BROCKHAMPTON's GINGER (top three), Winterbourne's Echo Of Youth (top 15), WAAX's Big Grief (top 25), Knocked Loose's A Different Shade Of Blue (top 30),  Young Thug's So Much Fun, Dan Mullins' Duende (both top 40), Tropical Fuck Storm's Braindrops and Midland's Let It Roll (both top 50).

Over on the Singles chart, Swift is on track to have at least ten tracks from Lover chart in the top 50 including The Man, Cruel Summer, I Forgot That You Existed (all top 20), Paper Rings, Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince, I Think He Knows (all top 30), Cornelia Street, London Boy (both top 40), Death By A Thousand Cuts and Soon You'll Get Better (both top 50).

Emerging Australian artist Tones & I will look to make it five-weeks straight atop the list with Dance Monkey, however it will have to fight it out with Swift's Lover which is expected to jump into the top three after charting at #15 last week. 

Already-released Lover tracks You Need To Calm Down, The Archer and ME! are also expected to climb the Singles chart.

The only other debuting track on the Singles list this week is Teeth from Sydney's 5 Seconds Of Summer which should debut in the top 50.
