Channel Seven’s screening of Never Tear Us Apart has no doubt helped INXS claim their fourth number one on of the ARIA albums charts. Their greatest hits collection, The Very Best, sits on the top of the charts after three previous weeks hovering around the top ten. The band’s 1987 smash Kick is also back at number seven, and their Live at Wembley Stadium 1991 has made its ARIA chart debut, entering at number 17.
All the INXS buzz has kept The John Butler Trio’s latest album Flesh & Blood from the top of the charts. No doubt their first studio album in nearly four years would have done better than its second place if not for all the INXStyria.
Joel Fletcher has the sole local song in the singles top 10 with “Swing.” The song which features Savage slipped down a position this week, but its number four spot is nothing to sneeze at.
