It’s another week with another act at the top of the Aussie charts. The Hilltop Hoods have dethroned Angus & Julia Stone with their seventh studio album Walking Under Stars. It’s their fourth consecutive number one album in this country!
Angus & Julia Stone’s self-titled album hasn’t slipped too far though. They should be pretty happy at number two.
Adam Brand has debuted at number five with My Side of the Street, his tenth studio album. It’s the second time he’s found himself in the top five, after the release of There Will Be Love in 2012.
I’m really impressed to see The Kite String Tangle sitting at number eight with the Vessel EP. The Brisbane electronic act’s singles had peaked at number 77, so cracking the top 10 is a real achievement.
5 Seconds of Summer have slipped just one spot this week to sit at number nine with their self-titled debut.
And we’ve got an Aussie act back in the singles top 10! Sydney DJ Timmy Trumpet is at number 10 with his new single “FREAKS.” With Dami Im debuting at 11 with “Gladiator,” hopefully we’re going to see more local acts creeping back into these charts.
