RÜFÜS DU SOL Vs Disturbed: Who Will Take Out #1 On This Week's ARIA Chart?

Aussie and US heavyweights will go head-to-head for the coveted #1 spot on this week's ARIA Albums chart. 

Sydney trio RÜFÜS DU SOL are chasing their third straight top-charting album with Solace, while heavy metal favourites Disturbed will also look to clinch three Aussie #1 LP's with their seventh effort, Evolution.

Both acts will have to contend for top spot against last week's #1, Paul Kelly's Nature, and Eminem's Kamikaze which hasn't dropped out of the top five since its release in August. 

RÜFÜS DU SOL joined the latest episode of The Music Podcast to chat about Solace; check it out below.

The top ten is set for a massive reshuffle too, with a string of debuting albums predicted to land there including Troy Cassar-Daley's Greatest Hits, the soundtrack for the new Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, triple j's Like A Version 14, Greta Van Fleet's Anthem Of The Peaceful and Khalid's Suncity.

Sydney outfit Hellions are also expected to crack the top 20 with their fourth album, Rue.

Over on the Singles chart, George Ezra's five-week run at #1 with Shotgun could come to an end, with Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper's Shallow (from their new film, A Star Is Born) primed for a top three finish after placing at #17 last week. 

New entries this week include Billie Eilish's When The Party's Over (top ten), Post Malone & Swae Lee's Sunflower (top 20), Khalid's Suncity featuring Empress Of, Dua Lipa's Kiss & Make Up (both top 40) and Charli XCX & Troye Sivan's 1999 (top 50).
