Off the back of her hugely successful 2014 record 1000 Forms Of Fear, Australia's own Sia returns this week with her seventh studio album This Is Acting and she is set to battle it out for top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart against fellow pop star Adele, with her acclaimed sophomore album, 25.

The UK singer has dominated the Albums Chart since the release of her latest album back in November, which has not dropped out of the top three even once, but Sia's new offering is set to land comfortably at the pointy end of the charts, ensuring that whoever takes out top spot will be a surprise for all.

Meanwhile, US star Rihanna is vying for a top five debut with ANTI, despite reports suggesting this week that the album has sold fewer than 1000 copies in the US this week.

Sia vs Adele
Unapologetic peaked #8 due to midweek release + TTT only #5!

I really hope for a top5 for ANTi, that would be great.

The "asterisk" would exist due to free downloads, genius.

Unapologetic debuted at #8 in Australia anyway so this isnt really a shock!

They're not talking about the giveaways so no asterix needed at all.

Sia & Rih

Sophomore? I hope Adele stays at #1.

Was this necessary?
