Bob Dylan has debuted at #1 on the Australian charts this week with his newie, 'Modern Times'.
'Modern Times', his first album in five years, knocked Australian country star Kasey Chambers off the top spot after she debuted there last week with her album 'Carnival'.While the top ten albums chart is looking fairly adult contemporary with Kasey Chambers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chris Isaak, The Ten Tenors, Eskimo Joe and James Blunt all making an appearance, the singles chart is entirely filled with R&B and pop music, lead by Sandi Thom's 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)'.
Other album debuts this week include:
#8 - The Ten Tenors - Here's to the Heroes
#12 - Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
#26 - Madeline Peyroux - Half the Perfect World
#32 - Hatebreed - Supremacy
#33 - Jessica Simpson - A Public Affair
#37 - Alexisonfire - Crisis
#45 - John Williamson - The Platinum Collection
Also, because it is simply amazing, Meatloaf's 1977 masterpiece Bat Out Of Hell has re-emerged in the Australian top 50, last week appearing at #42 and this week dropping to #43. It has been in the ARIA charts for 101 weeks.
