It’s a sixth and possibly final week at No.1 for Post Malone with his third album “Hollywood’s Bleeding”, as the set now becomes the second longest running chart-topping album for 2019.
“Hollywood’s Bleeding” and it’s six weeks at No.1 now places it second behind the Billie Eilish debut set “When We All Fall Asleep,…” which logged seven broken weeks at the top between April and mid-July, while it’s also the longest continual run at No.1 since late October of 2018 when the soundtrack for ‘A Star is Born’ began a ten week run at the top until the end of the year.
Post Malone also raises his weeks at No.1 on the albums chart to now eight accumulated weeks (from two #1’s) moving him up the tally board for ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1; Albums (1965 to 2019)’ to rise from equal 94th to now equal 86th alongside both Janet Jackson and Offspring who’ve also racked up eight weeks at the top from two No.1 sets, while for this decade he is now equal ninth alongside Ariana Grande who has so far this decade racked up eight weeks at No.1 but with four different albums. This and the next week in the past have been a regular No.1 breeding ground for the Triple J compilation “Like a Version”, of which the new Vol.15 was issued on Friday (volumes 9 to 13 all spent one week at the top), plus there is also a new Jessica Mauboy album out too, a former No.1 club member.
Ed Sheeran remains at No.2 with his duets package in “No.6 Collaborations Project”, while down one spot to No.4 is the Taylor Swift seventh set “Lover”, which is followed by two stable albums in the Tones and I EP “The Kids are Alright” and Billie Eilish’s “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” at No.5 and No.6 respectively. The Beatles 1969 eleventh album in “Abbey Road” drops down three places this week to No.7 and the second Top 10 appearance for Ed Sheeran this week is with his third album “÷ (Divide)” rising back up two spots to No.8 in its 108th week inside the Top 10, while Elton John’s “Diamonds” best of set is down one place to No.10, while he will be in the country in around six weeks time (Nov 30th) for his final ever tour which runs for two months locally (until the end of January 2020).
There are two albums debuting in the Top 10 this week, both by local acts, but both are vastly different in their music styles, with the highest new entry coming in at No.3 called “Awake” for local church group Hillsong Worship, which is this bands fifth studio album and entry and now their fourth Top 3/T5/T10 album as they have previously made it to No.2 three times, their last being “There is More” (mid-April of 2018). New at No.9 is the second hits compilation for local rock act Grinspoon called “Chemical Heart (Best of)”, and it surpasses the No.12 debut and peak of their previous collection “Best in Show” (mid-November of 2005) and overall is now their eighth Top 10 album locally, their last being 2012’s seventh and final studio album “Black Rabbits” (HP-8, October 2012).
