The Music From The Home Front TV concert continues to be a hit, with midweek ARIA chart figures showing a boost in sales for some of the acts featured across the massive broadcast.
The show, put together by industry legend Michael Gudinski in honour of Anzac Day and COVID-19 frontline workers, featured huge acts like Crowded House, Kevin Parker, Tones & I and saw 815,000 people watch via Channel Nine.
Also featured on the event were Birds Of Tokyo, Dean Lewis, G-Flip and Cold Chisel's Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss, all of whom are expected to leave their mark on this week’s ARIA Albums chart following their Music From The Home Front appearance.
Birds Of Tokyo are vying for their second #1 album with Human Design, with the local group’s last chart-topping LP being 2013’s March Fires.
Speaking with The Music ahead of the album’s release, frontman Ian Kenny noted: “I’ve always been very fortunate to have Birds as an outlet for me to speak about anything I’m going through and use that as a way to heal and move forward.
“I definitely got into a good enough space and a safe enough space within the band to kind of just tell is how it is.”
Meanwhile, Dean Lewis’ A Place We Knew is expected to re-enter the top 10, as Cold Chisel’s The Best Of Cold Chisel: All For You and G Flip’s About Us look to move into the top 30 and top 40 respectively.
Outside of Music From The Home Front, Melbourne rockers RVG are looking to claim a top 20 debut Feral, The Music’s Album Of The Week, while King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Chunky Shrapnel debuts somewhere in the top 50.
Over on the Singles chart, Aussie pop-rocker Sam Fischer is likely to move into the top 20 with This City as new music from Travis Scott & Kid Cudi, Juice WRLD and Surf Mesa debuts.
