Next week, the ARIA Albums chart will be dominated by rock music

Next week’s ARIA Albums chart is gearing up to be a rock music extravaganza, with fans flocking to celebrate the late Chris Cornell by purchasing and playing his music. However, Cornell’s impact is not the sole reason for the surge in rock music on the charts.

Linkin Park is also poised to make a significant entrance into the Albums chart, with their album “One More Light” expected to debut in the Top 3. Additionally, fans can anticipate a Top 15 debut for Papa Roach’s “Crooked Teeth” and a top 30 debut for DragonForce’s “Reaching Into Infinity.” Blink-182’s deluxe reissue of their 2016 album “California” is also making waves, securing a spot in the Top 10. Even though it is technically a re-entry due to the original version peaking at #2, the addition of eleven new songs gives it a fresh appeal.

It seems that the notion famously expressed by a Decca executive to The Beatles, claiming that “guitar bands are on the way out,” was entirely off the mark. The current state of the ARIA Albums chart proves that guitar-driven rock music is very much alive and thriving.

The highly anticipated charts will be released on Saturday at 6 pm, revealing the rock music domination that is set to grace the ARIA Albums chart next week. So, rock fans, get ready to witness an exciting lineup of rock acts making their mark on the charts.
