The race is on!

More Tones & I More Tones & I

Tones & I’s reign on the Aussie charts is set to continue this week, with the Bryon Bay-based singer-songwriter primed for a #1 debut on the Albums chart with her debut EP, The Kids Are Coming.

The local act – who will make her highly-anticipated BIGSOUND debut tonight – will just need to beat music legends Tool, whose comeback LP, Fear Inoculum, is also vying for the top spot.

Few BIGSOUND acts have had such a specular rise into the spotlight in the lead up to their showcase, with Tones & I not only holding onto #1 on the ARIA Singles chart for five weeks with Dance Monkey, but also making her way up the UK Singles chart.

Meanwhile, G Flip is looking to enter the Albums Chart top 10 with About Us, as Montaigne’s Complex (top 20), Ash Grunwald’s Mojo (top 30) and DZ DeathraysPositive Rising: Part 1 (top 50) also debut.

Over on the Singles chart, Tones & I is expected to hold onto #1 with Dance Monkey, while Post Malone’s Circles debuts in the top 10 and Lizzo’s Good As Hell also enters the chart.
