A Day To Remember Take Out #1 On ARIA Albums Chart With Sixth Album

Floridian post-hardcore mainstays A Day To Remember have rocketed straight to the top of the ARIA Albums Chart with their new full-length, Bad Vibrations, taking out the #1 position on debut this week. 

The album — the US outfit's sixth in a shade over a decade — enters several spots ahead of its nearest fellow debut, Big Scary's Animal, though the Aussies put in a commendable performance nonetheless by entering at #5, while another debut bookends the top 10 in the form of Travis Scott's Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. This is made possible as last week's #10, Adele's 25, leaps up to #4 to slot in just behind last week's #1 and #2, Barbara Streisand's Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway and the Suicide Squad soundtrack, which drop a spot each to #2 and #3 respectively.

Those three albums are far and away the week's highest new performers, though fresh top-30 landings are pulled off by both James Vincent McMorrow (We Move, #28) and Angel Olsen (My Woman, #29), while top-half debuts subsequently come from Jamie T, whose Trick enters at #35, and Cat Empire frontman Felix Riebl, whose solo effort Paper Doors steps out at #49.

Singles-wise, the pointy end remains unchanged — The Chainsmokers stay at #1 with Closer, ft. Halsey, while DJ Snake's Justin Bieber-featuring Let Me Love You sits pretty at #2 — while the wider top 10 is comprised of incumbents and a couple of incursions; notably, Calum Scott steers Dancing On My Own up from #10 last week to #3 this week, while even more impressively distance-wise, Ariana Grande's Side To Side hits a new peak of #7, leaping up from #36, while Hailee Steinfeld also makes significant headway as Starving steps up from #24 to #9.

The week's highest debut actually comes from an old song, sort of, as The Black Eyed Peas' remix of Where Is The Love, #whereisthelove ft. The World, enters inside the top 20 at #15, a solid 10 places ahead of its nearest competitor, new Sia cut The Greatest, featuring Kendrick Lamar. Oz hip hop queen Tkay Maidza also makes a top-100 appearance, with Carry On, featuring Run The Jewels' Killer Mike, hitting the Singles chart at #89, two places ahead of US-market-breakers Empire Of The Sun and High & Low, at #91.
