It’s the seventh No 1 album by an American artist this year.
After two weeks at the top, The Hilltop Hoods slip back to No 2 with Walking Under Stars.
British duo Royal Blood debut at No 3 with their self-titled album, and the Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol 1 drops back two places to No 4.
Entering at No 5 is the debut album Evergreen by New Zealand duo Broods. And one place lower is another debut album, by local act Kingswood, Microscopic Wars at No 6.
Sam Smith is down a place to No 7 with In The Lonely Hour.
Dropping five places each are the self-titled third album for Angus and Julia Stone and x by Ed Sheeran, to No 8 and No 9 respectively.
The fifth and final Top 10 entry comes in at No 10, Family Life for local country singer Adam Harvey.
