Hilltop Hoods looks certain to have the number one album this week in Australia while Meghan Trainor should repeat her top singles spot.
Meghan Trainor should retain her No.1 spot on the ARIA Singles chart this coming weekend with “All About the Bass”, whilst G.R.L. who dropped a spot to No.3 with “Ugly Heart” might be back to their former peak of No.2 on the new chart.
“Jubel” by Klingande jumped from 41 to 11 this past week, and could leap into the Top 5 this weekend, as too AJR with “I’m Ready” (58 to 16) which is also being used on a couple of different promos for shows, whilst another chart first-timer Lilly Wood & The Prick with “Prayer in C” (Robin Schultz Remix) (TW-59 to 25) could bullet again this weekend and leap into the Top 10.
A couple of former singing-show winners performed on X-Factor this past week, with the first Australian Idol Guy Sebastian singing his new track “Come Home With Me” and last years XF winner Dami Im with “Gladiator”, both of which look set to debut in the Top 10 this coming weekend, whilst retaining their status within the ten should be Paloma Faith, George Ezra and Jessie J with Ariana and Nicki Minaj. Ariana Grande also has a new track out with Big Sean entitled “Best Mistake”, which could become her fourth consecutive Top 10 entry or land just outside of the ten.
Nicki Minaj and her new song “Anaconda” snuck in at No.39, and the Sir Mix-a-Lot infused track featuring “Baby Got Back” (HP-8, Sept 1992) looks set to jump into the Top 15, whilst another of last weeks entries, “Freaks” (Re-entry #83) by Timmy Trumpet and Savage looks set for a Top 20 placing on the new chart. And with Justice Crew performing on the finale of The Voice: Kids, “Que Sera” should remain within the Top 20.
British artist Itch debuted at No.43 with his first single “Another Man”, which looks likely to jump into the upper end of the Top 30, whilst Sam Smith’s new single “I’m Not the Only One” (New TW-58) looks set for a jump into the lower end of the thirty. GO COMET! spent a week on the charts in July with “Worlds Apart”, which could return this week within the Top 40, and the new Maroon 5 track “It Was Always You” (New TW-71) could also become a fixture of the forty this week.
Hilary Duff’s recent entry “Chasing the Sun” (HP-72, out this week) was the first of several new track she is issuing, with this weeks’ entitled “All About You” looking set for a Top 50 entry, and Missy Higgins new album due in mid September is entitled “OZ”, and features covers of local tracks, two of which could enter this week, “No Secrets” (The Angels track Top 60), and “Shark Fin Blues” (The Drones track Top 70), whilst we could also see a couple of X-Factor contestants enter, including Brothers 3 with their cover of “Just the Way You Are” (Bruno Mars, Top 70) and Reigan Derry with “Unconditionally” (Katy Perry, Top 90).
Jess Glynne has appeared as guest vocalist on two hits this year for Clean Bandit and Route 94, and now her first solo entry “Right Here” could land a Top 70 debut this weekend, whilst another couple of local acts in Bluejuice with “I’ll Go Crazy” and The Hilltop Hoods with “Cosby Sweater” could see Top 80 entries, whilst Pentatonix and their EDM version of “Problem” (Ariana Grande song) and Becky G with “Shower” could see lower entries within the Top 100.
