Midweek Chart Wrap: AC/DC to top chart, AronChupa to debut high

The Singles chart is set to see another reasonably high debut this week with the brand new single from AronChupa. Albatroaz is now making large gains on sales as well as airplay over the country with a debut expected in the Top 10. In regards to movement, there should be some new competition in the Top 5, namely James Newton Howard’s The Hanging Tree featuring actress Jennifer Lawrence, which is set to move up into the bracket following its #12 debut this week. Set to move further up the Top 10 and beat their previous peak of #9 is One Direction’s Steal My Girl which looked as if it could have fallen out of the Top 10 if sales didn’t pick up. This is no doubt attributed to their recent visit for the ARIAs last week.

So far it looks as if the Albums chart will only be seeing two new entries within the Top 10. Coming in at the Top 3 with a potential for #1 is AC/DC’s Rock Or Bust which will most likely be taking that top spot unless Taylor Swift’s 1989 can miraculously keep up another week of extremely strong sales. The other debut to be looking for will be coming from Justice Crew with Live By The Words, their debut album which is expected to land in the #5-10 range. In regard to movement, Michael Buble’s Christmas is looking like it will break the Top 5 this week and it will probably climb even higher as we get closer and closer to Christmas time, as it does year-on-year since its initial release in 2011. Human Nature’s Jukebox is expected to make slight gains further into the Top 10 as well.
