For a rare third week in a row the Pink album “Beautiful Trauma” leads the ARIA Albums Chart at No.1, whilst she might not retain the top spot next week with new stuff coming from Sam Smith and potential No.1 albums from Guy Sebastian and Maroon 5, the week after which sees the new Taylor Swift album due for release.

Pink now has the equal second longest running No.1 album for 2017, tying with the “Trolls” soundtrack which spent three broken weeks at the top during January and February, the longest run for this year of course is the Ed Sheeran Divide album at 20 weeks. Pink’s tally of weeks at No.1 now moves to 37 weeks (1 week shy of Rod Stewart’s 38 weeks), and for this decade she has now amassed 26 weeks at the top (Ed Sheeran is ahead of her in second place with 29 weeks).

Moving back up to No.2 is the Ed Sheeran long-running No.1 set “÷ (Divide)”, whilst the highest new entry for the week occures at No.3, the fourth studio album for local rapper 360 entitled “Vintage Modern”, which becomes his third albums chart entry and also third Top 5 album, as his last set “Utopia” debuted and peaked at No.2 in June of 2014, and previously he first charted with his second album “Falling & Flying” (HP-4, October 2011).

Last weeks No.2 entry for Niall Horan and “Flicker” is down two places to No.4 and is the new No.1 album in both America and Canada this week. After which there are three more Top 10 entries for the week, coming in at No.5 with his eighth studio album is Chris Brown (and featuring 2CDs with 40 tracks in total) dropping early digitally this week (CD came out on Friday) entitled “Heartbreak on a Full Moon”, which has so far seen four of its five released tracks chart within the past year from “Grass is Greener” (HP-97), “Party” (HP-82), “Privacy” (HP-61) and the current entry “Questions” (HP-56, TW-63), and this becomes his sixth Top 10 album in Australia (five studio and 1 collab).

Another artist with their eighth studio album enters at No.6; Kelly Clarkson and “Meaning of Life” which is also her sixth Top 10 album in Australia and so far lowest Top 10 peak (#5 or higher for the previous entries). And finally at No.7 is the second Christmas album for brothers-three group Hanson entitled “Finally it’s Christmas”, entering the charts almost twenty years since their first seasonal album, as their late November 1997 set “Snowed in” spent two weeks at No.3 and four weeks in the Top 10, overall this is their fourth Top 10 album here. The remainder of the Top 10 is taken up the Jessica Mauboy “Secret Daughter Season 2” soundtrack which is down one to No.8, at hold at its No.9 peak for a second week is Post Malone and “Stoney”, and scoring a second week within the Top 10 after returning last week is the George Michael album “Listen without Prejudice Vol.1”, down five to No.10.
