It’s another great week for INXS on the ARIA charts, with their The Very Best greatest hits collection maintaining its number one position on the album charts. Kick has also moved up five spots to claim the number two slot. This is the first time in the history of the ARIA charts that we’ve seen a single Aussie act claiming the two top spots. They’ve also got four more albums in the top 40: Live At Wembley Stadium 1991 (#17), The Swing (#25), Shabooh Shoobah (#33) and Listen Like Thieves (#36).
We see another Aussie act at number three. The John Butler Trio might have slipped down a spot, but considering the INXS juggernaut they’re probably thrilled that Flesh & Blood’s still near the pointy end of the charts.
Adelaide metalcore act I Killed the Prom Queen are also making their presence felt with their third studio album. Beloved sits at number six on debut, a real improvement from their last studio album, Music For The Recently Deceased, which peaked at number 27.
The Aussies aren’t exactly firing on the singles charts, but it’s nice to see Joel Fletcher and Savage holding steady. “SWING” is still at number four, an impressive 15 weeks after its debut.
