Australian metalcore giants The Amity Affliction have found themselves with some big company at the top of this week's ARIA charts.

The Queensland-formed band's ninth studio album, House of Cards, has debuted at No. 4 on the ARIA Albums chart, only behind two new global superstar entries - Noah Kahan's The Great Divide at No. 1 and Foo Fighters' Your Favorite Toy at No. 3.

It's The Amity Affliction's eight top 10 album in a row: Let The Ocean Take Me (No. 1 in 2014), This Could Be The Heartbreak (No. 1 in 2016), Misery (No. 1 in 2018), Everyones Loves You…Once You Leave Them (No. 2 in 2020) and Not Without My Ghost (No. 2 in 2023).

The record has also debuted at No. 2 on the Vinyls chart behind Kahan.

Other entries this week include the soundtrack for the new Michael Jackson biopic (No. 17) and Ruby Fields' Small Achievements (No. 29).

Over on the Singles chart, Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s Rein Me In returns to No. 1 for its third non-consecutive week on top.
