Courtney Barnett's Scores Top Three Debut On ARIA Albums Chart

Courtney Barnett​ has fallen just short of her first-ever #1 album on the ​ARIA ​chart today with her second LP, ​Tell Me How You Really Feel​, which has come in at #2. 

The Melbourne-based songwriter's record has finished just behind Post Malone's ​Beerbongs & Bentleys​, but should still be considered a massive victory following 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. 

Rounding out the top five this week is The Greatest Showman soundtrack at #3, Five Finger Death Punch's ​And Justice For None at #4 and ​Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide)​ at #5.

New albums debuting on the chart this week includes BTS' Love Yourself: Her (#6), the Deadpool 2 soundtrack (#9), James Bay's Electric Light ​(#14), West Thebarton's Different Beings Being Different (#45) and Dan Sultan's Killer Under A Blood Moon (#66).

Over on the Singles chart, 5 Seconds Of Summer​, who are currently back home for some intimate gigs,​ have taken the #1 spot from Childish Gambino with Youngblood​ after placing at #3 last week. 

The result pushes Gambino's This Is America​ to #3, just behind Post Malone's Better Now​ at #2.

Other entries on the Singles chart come from BTS with Fake Love (#36), Clean Bandit's Solo, featuring Demi Lovato (#39) and Backstreet Boys' Don't Go Breaking My Heart (#50).
