Though it looks like Ed Sheeran may again stay put at #1 on the ARIA charts for the sixth week running, at least we've got some hope for Aussie music with The Smith Street Band set to land within the top five this week with their newest, More Scared Of You Than You Are Of Me.

It'll be the Melburnian punks' first ARIA chart placing and potentially the highest this week from an indie act, with Tina Arena and The Chainsmokers both set to debut in the top three this week with their albums Tina Arena (Greatest Hits & Interpretations) and Memories… Do Not Open, respectively.

Other albums debuting this week include a capella group Pentatonix with PTX, Vol. 4, Falling In Reverse with Coming Home, Father John Misty with Pure Comedy and Joey Bada$$ with ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$.

Over on the Singles chart, One Direction frontman — having gone solo with debut single Sign Of The Times — Harry Styles will be battling it out with fellow Brit Sheeran for the top spot.

If Sheeran manages to hold onto #1 with Shape Of You, he'll have scored the ARIA record for 14 weeks at #1.
