Australian midweeks: Joanne #1, Shout Out To My Ex top 5
Quote:
Six albums into her decorated career, multi-talented performer Lady Gaga is set to top the ARIA Albums Chart this week as it begins to take shape in the light of midweek results.
If she does so, it'll be against some stiff competition — with her new full-length, Joanne, Madam Monsterface (is that one right? Still not looking it up) is fending off a top-three charge from Mum's FavouriteTM, Michael Buble, while the late Elvis Presley eyes off a top-five position with The Wonder Of You, featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Also angling for a spot in the top five are… Korn?
In the Singles stakes, we should expect to see arrivals from Peking Duk (Stranger, ft. Elliphant), Frenship (Capsize, ft. Emily Warren) and Andy Grammer (Fresh Eyes), though none particularly devastatingly high up the ladder — but UK girl group Little Mix are set to move up into the top five with their single Shout Out To My Ex, with which they became the first female act to top the British singles chart all year just this past weekend.
