ARIA Singles

Adele’s Hello is now on its fourth week at #1 on the ARIA Singles chart, leading ahead of Justin Bieber at #2 with Sorry for another week. At #3 however might be Bieber’s next ticket to #1, with a high debut coming from his other single Love Yourself, one of four tracks from his new album Purpose to debut in the Top 50 this week and marking the last notable change in the Top 10.

Outside it however are two strong debuts at #17 and #19, Guy Sebastian’s Black & Blue and The Amity Affliction’s Shine On respectively. The latter marks The Amity Affliction’s highest ever peak on the ARIA Singles chart, their previous best being Don’t Lean On Me at #24 which was taken from their #1 charting album Let The Ocean Take Me.

ARIA Albums

Despite midweek predictions of One Direction leading the charge to the #1 debut this week, it’s Justin Bieber who earns the coveted spot with new album Purpose debuting at #1, making for his third #1 album to date. This leaves One Direction’s Made In The A.M to debut at #2. The group’s fifth album marks their first as a four piece and so far is their only album not to top the chart. There is always next week however.

Taking the next highest debut at #5 is Australian hip hop artist Kerser with fifth album Next Step. It becomes his third album to chart in the Top 10 following in the success of King, which peaked at #9 in November of last year. Kylie Minogue’s Kylie Christmas debuts at #7 followed by Conrad Sewell’s debut EP All I Know at #9.
