HAIM & Jay Z Favourites To Take Down Ed Sheeran On ARIA Albums Chart This Week

Ed Sheeran will stunningly be gunning for his 15th week in the top spot of the ARIA Albums chart this week with ÷ (Divide), but it'll be up to two music heavyweights to stop that from happening. 

According to midweek figures, Splendour 2017 act HAIM's Something To Tell You and Jay Z's 4:44 are the favourites to take out #1 and are expected to at least debut in the top three. 

Both LP's have been positively received by critics and fans; Something To Tell You scored our pick for Album Of The Week, while 4:44 is considered a game-changer.

Also debuting on the Albums chart this week is Brisbane outfit The Jungle Giants' Quiet Ferocity (top ten) and In Stereo's Day In, Day Out (top 30).

Moving to the Singles chart, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee's Despacito, featuring Justin Bieber, is on track for its ninth-straight week at #1, though it could be taken down by last week's second-placed track, Niall Horan's Slow Hands, on the back of news that the One Direction member will be playing an exclusive show in Sydney this September.

Debuting on the chart this week includes Kesha's Praying, featuring Sydney's All Our Exes Live In Texas (top 20), Zedd & Liam Payne's Get Low (top 25) and Teddy Cream's Horses (top 35).
