Chart News: AU: Rebel Heart biggest drop from #1 in over a year; TPAB #1

The third studio album by Kendrick Lamar was released earlier in the week (it was due 24th March), as a digital album initially (no physical for the first week), and this has helped his set called “To Pimp a Butterfly” to enter the ARIA Albums chart first week at No. 1.

DOWN: The top two entries from last week drop dramatically this week, with Madonna and “Rebel Heart” down seventeen places from No. 1 to No. 18 this week. The last act to drop so hard from the top spot was the self-titled debut album by MKTO which fell to No. 19 in its second week in mid-February 2014. And San Cisco see their second album “Gracetown” drop twenty-one places to No. 23 this week. Other Top 10 dropouts are Kelly Clarkson’s “Piece by Piece” (10 to 30) and the two other debutees from last week, “Friday Night” by Jason Owen and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds with “Chasing Yesterday” both drop to below the Top 50 after one week within the ten.
