Albums
Machine Gun Kelly takes out his first #1 album on the ARIA Charts as he debuts in the top spot with Mainstream Sellout. It’s the sixth album from the American pop-punk/hip hop star, coming less than two years on from Tickets To My Downfall which peaked at #2 in October 2020.
The new album includes collaborations with Lil Wayne, Pete Davidson, Blackbear, Willow Smith and was produced by Blink-182’s Travis Barker. Current single Maybe, a collaboration with British act Bring Me The Horizon, sits at #38 on this week’s singles chart.
#2: Michael Bublé ‘Higher’ – Canadian crooner Michael Bublé scores his ninth top two album on the ARIA Charts, debuting at #2 with Higher. Bublé’s eleventh album is his first since 2018’s Love. Higher includes a version of Paul McCartney‘s My Valentine produced by McCartney himself, plus a duet with Willie Nelson and covers of tracks by Bob Dylan, Sam Cooke, and Barry White.
Bublé has previously topped the ARIA Charts with Michael Bublé in May 2004, Call Me Irresponsible in May 2007, Crazy Love in October 2009, Christmas in December 2011, and To Be Loved in April 2013.
The 2009 Greatest Hits album from the Foo Fighters has stormed up the chart from #38 to #4 following the sudden passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins on 25 March at the age of 50. Hawkins played on all seven of the American group’s studio albums that have reached #1 on the ARIA Charts, most recently Medicine At Midnight in February 2021.
The highest ranking Australian album comes from singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd, who claims his seventh top ten as he debuts at #6 with Jan Juc Moon. Rudd’s tenth album is his first new release since Storm Boy, and continues Rudd’s run of top tens that started with White Moth in 2007.
Returning with their first album in almost a decade, British band Placebo debut at #10 with Never Let Me Go. The follow-up to 2013’s Loud Like Love becomes their fourth top ten album. It’s the first Placebo album recorded as a duo, following the departure of drummer Steve Forrest in 2015.
Melbourne’s Camp Cope take out their second ARIA top 20 entry as they debut at #11 with Running With The Hurricane. The trio’s third album comes four years on from How To Socialise & Make Friends which peaked at #6, and earned them a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 2018 ARIA Awards.
