The Triple J compilation “Like a Version Volume 13” becomes the fifth of the radio stations collections to hit No.1 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

“Like a Version Vol.13” becomes the 811th No.1 Album in Australia (1965 to 2017) and the 663rd for ARIA (1983 to 2017), plus the 456th to debut at No.1, the 21st chart-topping album for 2017 and the sixth for the ABC record label, with the end of October being the usual week this album hits the top, with Vol.9 doing so on 28th of October in 2013, followed each successive year by a new set, with “Vol.10” (20-Oct-2014), “Vol.11” (12-Oct-2015), “Vol.12” (17-Oct-2016), all of which spent a single at the top apiece.

This new compilation becomes the 28th Various Artists set to hit the top in Australia, with the first one being “Hitwave ’81” back in mid-September of 1981. This is the ninth album with a ‘Like’ in its title to hit the top, in fact the first one did so back on 14th of October, 1985, “Listen Like Thieves” for INXS for two weeks, and of course the fifth with a ‘Version’ in its title. The new collection has tracks performed by HAIM, Flume, Matt Corby, Violent Soho, Glass Animals, Paul Kelly, Dan Sultan, Amy Shark, Emma Louise, Kasabian and Tash Sultana amongst its thirty-eight tracks.

51 weeks ago we saw the soundtrack for the Jessica Mauboy TV series “The Secret Daughter” debut at No.1 (this week it returns at No.57), and now ahead of the second season screening on Channel 7 (still no date given on their site or YouTube links), the songs from the series debuts at No.2 this week, featuring Jess covering such songs by The Church, Crowded House, Thirsty Merc, Frank & Nancy Sinatra (a duet with Isaiah), Clean Bandit, Paul Kelly, Sonia Dada, Aretha Franklin, Birds of Tokyo, Evemore, Goanna and her rendition of “Amazing Grace” with Dr. G. Yunupingu, with the album potentially going to the top when the show starts screening, and this now becomes her fifth Top 10 album in Australia too, plus the albums lead single “Fallin'” (HP-11) is sitting at No.49 this week.

The new Ed Sheeran Top 10 single keeps his album “÷ (Divide)” entrenched at No.3 again this week for a 32nd straight week within the Top 4 (it hasn’t dipped lower than #4 so far), and last weeks No.1 entry for Shania Twain and “Now” is back down four places to No.5 this week. The Macklemore album “Gemini” is on hold at No.6 this week, followed by two former No.1 albums in “Concrete and Gold” for The Foo Fighters (down two to No.7) and “Wonderful Wonderful” by The Killers (down four to No.8), whilst making its first Top 10 appearance after 22 weeks within the Top 100 is the Post Malone set “Stoney”, which is up seven places to a new peak of No.10, thanks to his older single from the album “I Fall Apart” jumping to No.26 and his current No.1 status with “Rockstar” (not from the album).

Scoring their sixth Top 10 album this week by debuting at No.4 is Marliyn Manson with their tenth studio album “Heaven Upside Down”, and by coming in that high it becomes the bands second highest charted album in Australia after “Mechanical Animals” which entered at No.1 back in September of 1998, and their last entry to the ten was with their ninth album “The Pale Emperor” (HP-6, Feb 2015). The debut solo album for former Oasis member Liam Gallagher debuted at No.1 in the UK this week, and here it enters at No.9 entitled “As You Were”.
