The Paper Kites On Track For Top Aussie Album Debut

ARIA midweeks action.

More The Paper Kites The Paper Kites Profile

Their second studio album Twelvefour has just been released and it looks to be a winner for Melbourne indie rockers The Paper Kites as they are now set for the country's highest album debut on this week's ARIA Charts. 

The new record not only received a glowing review from us here at theMusic but it is set for a top 10 entry and looks to beat out a slew of other Aussie talent including Last DinosaursWellness and veteran act Icehouse's live album, Icehouse In Concert both aiming for finishes in the top 20. 

It will also mark The Paper Kites highest debut in their career, with their first album, States, coming in at #17.

Meanwhile Canadian R&B singer The Weeknd is looking to crack the top three on the Albums Chart, with his third record, Beauty Behind The Madness, alongside UK indie band Foals who are also in the running with What Went Down.

Rounding out the album debuts this week include Gin Wigmore's Blood To BoneMotorhead's astounding 22nd album, Bad Magic and Van Morrison compilation CD, The Essential Van Morrison, no doubt to be a Father's Day winner.
