It’s been a massive week for ARIA Award-winning songwriter Vance Joy who has today knocked The Greatest Showman soundtrack from top place on the ARIA Albums Chart for a #1 debut with his new album.

Nation Of Two is now the singer’s second top-charting album, with his 2014 debut, Dream Your Life Away, also peaking at #1. Dream You Life Away has also re-entered the top 20 this week, sitting at #18.

Joy's new record album has also smashed its way onto the UK Charts, landing a #32 debut.

Fellow local artist Sarah Blasko has scored a top-five ARIA Charts debut with her latest offering, Depth Of Field, placing at #5, while a number of Ed Sheeran records receive a bump as his Aussie tour kicks off.
