Courtney Barnett On Track For First-ever #1 On ARIA Album Chart

Courtney Barnett is on her way to her first-ever #1 album on this week's ARIA charts. 

Midweek figures indicate that the Melbourne songwriter's second LP, Tell Me How You Really Feel, is the favourite to take out top spot on the list and is at the very least set to debut inside the top three.

It follows her 2015 debut, Sometimes I Sit & Think, & Sometimes I Just Sit, which peaked at #4 and her collaborative record with Kurt Vile, Lotta Sea Lice, which peaked at #5 last October. 

Barnett will likely have to contend for the #1 position with last week's chart topper, Arctic Monkeys' Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, as well as The Greatest Showman soundtrack and Five Finger Death Punch's new offering, And Justice For None.

Other album debuts cracking the chart this week includes BTS' Love Yourself: Her (top five), James Bay's Electric Light and the Deadpool 2 soundtrack (both top ten), West Thebarton's Different Beings Being Different (top 30) and Dan Sultan's Killer Under A Blood Moon (top 50).

Over on the Singles chart, Sydney outfit 5 Seconds Of Summer will push for #1 with Youngblood, though they'll have to run down Childish Gambino's global hit, This Is America.

Expect to see new entries in the Singles chart from BTS with Fake Love (top 30), Backstreet Boys' Don't Go Breaking My Heart (top 40) and Clean Bandit's Solo, featuring Demi Lovato (top 50).
