You're Gonna See A Lot Of Khalid On The ARIA Charts This Week

Check out the midweek figures!

US superstar Khalid is set to dominate this week's ARIA charts on the back of his second album, Free Spirit.

The 21-year-old, who announced an Australian tour this week, is on track to debut at top spot with the LP or at least land inside the top three. 

Either way, Khalid should comfortably topple his 2017 debut record, American Teen, which peaked at #13 in Australia.


Other album debuts this week include Russell Morris' Black & Blue Heart (top ten), Brooks & Dunn's Reboot, Periphery's Periphery IV: Hail Stan, Sara Bareilles' Amidst The Chaos (all top 20) and Pup's Morbid Stuff (top 25).

Over on the Singles chart, Billie Eilish (who dominated the list last week and broke the record for most tracks in the top ten) should hold onto top spot with Bad Guy, but expect to see Khalid feature heavily in the top 20. 

His track with John Mayer, Outta My Head, is expected to debut in the top 25, while his hit song Talk is predicted to jump up into the top ten and My Bad and Better should chart in the top 20.

Elsewhere, BLACKPINK's Kill This Love is expected to debut in the top 15, just ahead of Ariana Grande's Monopoly, featuring Victoria Monét, in the top 20.
