Just like last year, I'm expecting the Year End Chart to come some time in the next week (maybe tomorrow?) and I'll pop that in last year's thread when duty calls.

If you're reading this, welcome to another year, or at least another week for now of my nonsense. This week's chart looks at the aftermath of Christmas week which is of course the highest sales week of the year, though perhaps thanks to streaming, one where the top of the charts was much more stable than regular. In the past we've seen songs ascend to #1 ("Trumpets") or be blocked from #1 ("Scream & Shout") thanks to this lucrative market, this year it's just more of the same. Clean Bandit notch up their 5th week at #1, which is just how much time "Rather Be" spent at #2 as it were. I have little doubt that "Rockabye" has more weeks left in it though (or just one if Ed Sheeran has a massive hit on the way). And so this makes for the unfortunate story for "Starboy" which clocks in its 11th week at #2, which is an outright record for a song that hasn't reached the top. Taylor Swift's #1 hit "Love Story" also spent the same amount of time at #2. Bruno may finally unseat "Starboy" next week thanks to consistently strong sales. Christmas festivities choose to taunt me by sending "Closer" back into the top 5, and "Can't Stop The Feeling!" back into the top 10, even though the latter is barely top 40 on streaming. It also means The Weeknd has more misfortune as "I Feel It Coming" continues to be stuck at #11, though it looks a good chance to climb next week. Australian electro duo Pnau score their first top 50 hit in 9 years with "Chameleon", UK readers might be familiar with their previous top 50 hit "Baby" which was the skeleton of Faul & Wad Ad's hit "Changes". But of course the big news of the week was the passing of George Michael, who naturally has had huge success in Australia with half a dozen #1 hits to his name. 3 of those re-enter the charts this week with "Faith" being the highest. "Last Christmas" also finds its way back into the top 50 for the first time this century. In fact the cut off and increased streaming prevalence has done Christmas music wonders, at least in the form of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", which while not getting as high as last year, charts for 4 whole weeks in the top 50 for the first time since its initial release.

On the album charts, after almost avoiding it for a second year in a row, we have succumbed to the inevitable Buble, who has now reached #1 on 5 separate stints with his "Christmas" album. This is the latest chart date that it's been at #1 since its first release year, so we could be looking at a record breaking descent next week as the next chart will cover Dec 30th to Jan 5th, a time in which I'm sure lots of people buy Christmas music. In a kobbar-esque fashion, it's unfortunate for George Michael's passing to happen on this week, as he narrowly misses the top 10 with his "Twenty Five" compilation, surely due to the high sales threshold, and perhaps could have contended for #1 on other weeks. Following in the footsteps of Frozen a few years back, the soundtrack to Moana reaches the top 50 in the first chart of the year, and perhaps we'll see it impacting the singles chart soon too. For the first 2 weeks of 2014, the only debuts on the singles chart were from the Frozen soundtrack, maybe we'll get that again?

Unsurprisingly that makes 6 weeks at #1 for Clean Bandit, and perhaps their last as Ed Sheeran seems to have the top 2 locked down for next week. It also means this will probably be "Starboy"'s 12th and last week at #2, which makes it the song with the outright record for most weeks spent at #2. At least The Weeknd has some good news in the form of "I Feel It Coming" reaching the top 10 this week, which is his 4th song to do so, and his album is back in the top 10 as well. It's also the first time in the top 10 for Spotify shills turned radio hits from Andy Grammer and Starley, while Peking Duk score a 2nd top 5 hit to date with "Stranger".

The album chart returns to normal business with Christmas stuff out of the way, which means that having spawned the ultimate troll song of 2016 is not enough and now the "TROLLS" soundtrack has occupied the top spot. As we also have the soundtracks for "Moana" and "Sing" jumping into the top 10 alongside "Suicide Squad" remaining there, we have a new record with 4 soundtrack albums in the top 10 at once. It is also worth mentioning that last week's #1 "Christmas" got there only narrowly on the back of a few days of Christmas hype, but now with this tracking chart starting at December 30th, it now drops to #85 and earns the dubious honour of the biggest #1 drop on either ARIA Chart ever.

Can't Stop The Feeling still as high as #11?!? Glad I no longer live in Australia, couldn't deal with that

At least Clean Bandit are slaying.

You want more chart records? You got it. As you probably could have expected, Ed Sheeran debuts not just at #1 but at #2 with pretty much no competition. This is the first time an artist has ever debuted at #1 and #2 on the singles chart. This means that not only is Clean Bandit's #1 run over, but The Weeknd's #2 run is over. Somehow, Andy Grammer scores a top 5 hit and Train score a top 10 hit this week. Thanks to a big decline of digital sales, "Closer" is out of the top 10 for the first time ever, ending its top 10 run at 23 weeks, which is one less than The Prodigy's ARIA Chart record of 24 weeks with "Breathe". Also this is a particularly busy week with 9 songs entering the top 50 for the first time. I will highlight Amy Shark's "Adore", which is primed for a very strong finish in triple j's Hottest 100 countdown a week and a half from now and may be top 10 bound, and it's also worth noting that Auli'i Cravalho's version of "How Far I'll Go" slightly edges Alessia Cara's inferior version despite Spotify's best efforts.

We now have an all soundtrack top 3 which is a chart first, and a big return to the top 10 for Ed Sheeran off the back of his new music. We're slowly getting back into the swing of things for new entries, Dropkick Murphys getting the highest one at #15. Things will likely step up next week as The xx challenge for #1 with their 3rd album. They came close to #1 in 2012 but were blocked by The Amity Affliction.

Does anyone know where you can find exactly how many sales the Australian top 40 have each week?

Though not *quite* to the extent of the UK, Australia also finds itself in the situation of Ed Sheeran easily holding the top two spots on the chart this week, once again doing so on sales & streaming with no available competition. In fact the top 5 is completely unchanged this week with the action a little lower down. The Chainsmokers debut at #6 with "Paris" which just so happens to be their 6th top 10 hit. The real surprise story comes from Pnau whose single "Chameleon" has now cracked the top 10, the first for them in their nearly 2 decade career. Interestingly enough, this means that it matches the peak of "Walking On A Dream" by Empire of the Sun, which is of course a side project of Pnau's Nick Littlemore. There's a good chance they'll get even higher though with strong sales and streaming, and of course, on Thursday radio station triple j will be counting down the Hottest 100 which is prone to big chart boosts, and Pnau will likely feature strongly there. The main ones to watch though are Amy Shark and Childish Gambino, both lingering in the 40s currently but primed for big movement. Also in the top 50 this week, Alessia Cara's version of "How Far I'll Go" essentially replaces Auli'i's, and Migos's current US #1 single "Bad and Boujee" becomes the first top 50 for them and Lil Uzi Vert. It is also very noteworthy to say that "Uptown Funk" has dropped out of the top 100 this week, ending its 113 week run that started on the very week that streaming was introduced to the chart.

We have our first #1 debut of the year on the album chart, with The xx's 3rd album "I See You" becoming their first #1, after "Coexist" peaked at #2. The top 10 continues to be littered with soundtracks and now "La La Land" joins that fold. Also debuting highly this week is the Australian country pop group The McClymonts, who score their 4th top 10 album, having gotten as high as #2 back in 2010. Lower down the chart we have the first chart impact for two international acts, with UK producer Bonobo's 6th album riding high at #12, and despite giving it away for free (just like their last 2), US duo Run The Jewels debut in the top 40 with their excellent new album. Australian country continues to be in favour as Kasey Chambers will be vying as next week's highest debut.

YES GO PNAU

Where did "Changes" peak?

Posted by: Dircadirca Jan 24 2017, 07:56 AM

^it never charted in Australia at all! The song it's based on, "Baby" reached #34 back in 2008 though.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry Jan 24 2017, 08:53 PM

That's pretty weird, it was big in so many places

Posted by: Riser Jan 25 2017, 03:08 AM

Omg at Train going top 10 (a week ago) *.*

Great to see 'Cocoon' finally taking off somewhere too!

Posted by: Danuary Jan 28 2017, 04:46 PM

Great to see Pnau doing so well! It's up to #7 in the latest chart. Also The Chainsmokers up to #4

I see Ed Sheeran has similar dominance in Australia as in the UK, with him still doing the 1-2.

The top of the chart stays pretty steady this week, Ed Sheeran has the top two held down for a 3rd week, and Clean Bandit aren't budging either, meaning they'd have a 9 week #1 if not for Ed. The Chainsmokers get their 5th top 5 hit with "Paris" up to #4, and Pnau continue to climb with "Chameleon", now #7 and higher than their half-counterpart Empire Of The Sun ever got. The big relevant music event of the week was triple j's Hottest 100, but that was on Thursday, with Flume being crowned #1 mere hours before the chart cut off, so "Never Be Like You" has a relatively minor jump this week below the top 50, expect him to bolt back up next week. The runner up Amy Shark however already had a boost on the way, so "Adore" has a big climb up to #13, and is challenging for possibly even a #3 position on the chart next week. With a #5 finish, Childish Gambino gets his first ever top 40 single with "Redbone". Meanwhile, news came today that X Factor Australia has been cancelled, but thanks to the magic of Spotify forced playlist BS, last year's winner Isaiah is back in the top 100 with his single that is probably selling 100 copies a week at this stage.

On the album chart we have another new #1, and it's an Australian one. Country singer Kasey Chambers picks up her 5th #1, and first since 2008 with her latest album "Dragonfly". If you want to call Keith Urban's new album 'country music', then there are 3 Australian country music albums in the top 10 currently, coinciding with the Tamworth Country Music Festival. AFI's new self-titled album can't quite hit the top 10 like its predecessor which reached #10 in late 2013. They reached their highest position with "decemberunderground" hitting #3 in 2006. Next week perhaps look out for Trolls returning to #1 with a lack of new competition.

Still not a whole lot happening at the top of the chart. Ed Sheeran was briefly challenged on the iTunes front, but as I speak he's got the top 2 locked down on sales and streaming currently so expect more of the same next week. Otherwise this week, the triple j Hottest 100 is in full effect, with plenty of high placing songs benefitting strongly on this week's chart. Runner up "Adore" has bolted to #3 as the biggest beneficiary, partly because the actual winner has been inescapable for a full year already, so Flume *only* re-enters the top 20. Milky Chance finished at #12 in the Hottest 100 but are able to nab their second top 10 hit with "Cocoon" at #10, solidifying Australia as perhaps their biggest market. #11 finishers Pnau also move up to #4 with "Chameleon". There's also a new top 50 entry for Tash Sultana who finished at #3 with "Jungle". Outside of that, Major Lazer pick up a new top 30 hit with "Run Up", which is the first time PARTYNEXTDOOR has made the Australian singles chart. "Scared To Be Lonely" is the 3rd top 50 hit for both Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa, and "All Time Low" is Jon Bellion's first top 50 hit.

There's not much happening in terms of new albums, so Trolls returns to #1 without impressive sales. Train can take advantage of the situation to get their highest charting album since "Drops Of Jupiter" climbed to #3, with "a girl a bottle a boat", which is their highest ever debut at #5. Not to be confused with Brian Johnson of AC/DC fame, Brian & Jenn Johnson have their first chart impact with a top 10 debut. Thanks again to the Hottest 100, Tash Sultana's EP soars up the charts to a new peak of #8. Speaking of new peaks, The Avalanches' classic debut album "Since I Left You" had a vinyl release last week and now reaches a new chart peak of #15, over 16 years after its release. Big debuts for next week will be from Pete Tong, Big Sean & Dune Rats.

What's even more interesting is that three of this week's Top 5 albums are soundtracks from animation films!!! Looking at the sales numbers though, the entire Top 11 looks pretty abysmal. #10 is 1010 sales and #11 managed 920 sales! How many did #40 sell that week? #7 and #8 only had 2 sales difference!!!

Amazing how much of an effect the Triple J countdown has on the chart

If only Flume could have some UK success, 'Never Be Like You' was such a missed opportunity

Great to see Pnau and Milky Chance top 10 too, would love those two to cross over but I doubt it.

You wanted another Ed Sheeran top two? You got it. 5 weeks running now, and it's looking like a 6th is in order, though ZAYN is starting to make a challenge to the #2 slot. Having co-written top 10 hits in the past for Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber and err Nico & Vinz, Julia Michaels has a top 10 of her own this week with "Issues" up to #7. This week also has Imagine Dragons returning to the top 50, charting "Believer" slightly higher than anything from their 2nd album did. Sia continues to flood the top 50 with random singles as "Never Give Up" climbs in this week, and if that's not enough, we'll next week be getting "Helium" from the 50 Shades soundtrack, as well as Katy Perry's new song she co-wrote. I'm still waiting on Spotify to update to get a better picture, but "Chained To The Rhythm" looks to debut at #4 next week.

The album chart continues to bring in new #1s, this week it's a bit of an oddity as local stoners band Dune Rats take the top spot with their 2nd album. Their debut album narrowly missed the top 20 back in 2014, but this new one comes off the back of big triple j Hottest 100 hits "Bullshit" and "Scott Green", and takes advantage of a slow week to get the top spot. The only other debut in the top 10 comes from another local band, though on the heavier spectrum with Ocean Grove's debut album at #5. Big Sean's newest album is also his highest charting to date, halving the #28 peak of "Dark Sky Paradise". Last year's 50 Shades soundtrack spent a while at #1, so you can bet the new one will make a strong challenge for #1 next week, maybe Rag'n'Bone Man will also get in the top 10.

There's not much happening this week so there's not much to say. Ed Sheeran narrowly holds off ZAYN to keep the top two held down for a 6th straight week. With "I Don't Want To Live Forever" slowing down this week it might no longer be able to threaten him, so his biggest competition will come from himself. His latest track "How Do You Feel (Paean)" quickly got to #1 on iTunes (currently #2) but its streaming is really holding it back, so it might debut at #3 keeping "Castle On The Hill" at #2. That's if it charts mind you, because this week we've got a lot of missing stuff on the chart for whatever reason. The big thing to notice is the lack of stuff from the new 50 Shades soundtrack, 2 tracks of which reached the digital tracks chart but are conspicuously missing from the chart. Pretty much the only news of note this week is Katy Perry's new single which debuts at #4 as I predicted. This continues to make Australia that weird place that for some reason had "Rise" debut at #1. It's not doing too badly for next week though it'll need a boost somewhere to reverse its fortunes as it looks to drop back a few spots.

Album chart naturally has the new 50 Shades soundtrack debuting at #1, the previous one was sitting comfortably at #1 about 2 years ago. It prevents Aussie hip hop group Thundamentals from scoring their first #1, though they make their closest attempt yet with their new album in at #2. Both stand ahead of the record breaking UK #1 from Ragin' Binman, whose "Human" hasn't quite caught on here in the same way. Australian country veteran Adam Brand has had some solid top 10 success this decade, though lately dipping slightly lower each time. He continues the slight descent as his latest album debuts at #7, with his best peak to date being #4. The Grammys are also in effect here, with Adele & Beyonce getting the most noticeable rebounds. Next week looks to be light on big debuts, so expect no change at the top.

It's pretty crazy that The Chainsmoker Closer was now certified 9 times platinum, (not to mention Uptown Funk was certified 13 times platinum so far) and thus I think the ARIA current certification threshold for singles (Gold - 35K, Platinum - 70K) was way too low for now especially with streaming market still growing up exponentially and streaming play was counted on singles accreditation.

Do y'all have idea on how the suitable certification threshold for singles should be? Mine would be something like 70K-75K for Gold, and 140-150K for Platinum certification.

Posted by: Dircadirca Feb 25 2017, 12:17 PM

Honestly I think it's fine as is. I've never wanted to encourage raising the accreditation levels because all that does is gives us less information. For what it's worth though, I think The Chainsmokers' songs are somewhat overaccreditated. Don't Let Me Down was the first single to go 5xPlatinum in 2016 despite One Dance outselling it week by week, and it later went 6xPlatinum while Drake only just got there this week.

Ed Sheeran's quinella is interrupted by Ed Sheeran so now he has full control over the top 3 thanks to the newly released "How Would You Feel (Paean)". Curiously, the track is severely struggling on Spotify (where it fell out of the top 50) but going strong on iTunes so it's anyone's guess how well it maintains from here. In any case, Sheeran's total domination at the top will be put to an end next week as The Chainsmokers' new track will likely debut at #2 next week. Also in the top 10 this week is a big debut for Kygo & Selena Gomez, which by debuting at #10, instantly becomes both artists' highest charting single to date. Both previously reached #10 separately back in 2015 with "Firestone" and "Good For You" respectively. Also debuting in the top 50 next to each other this week is a pair of 2000s '''rock''' bands. Maroon 5's "Cold" seems to be floundering somewhat so it might not get much higher, but it is instantly Future's highest charting track having only previously slipped into the top 50 with "Jumpman". He could quickly add to this tally next week thanks to his Rihanna collaboration. Linkin Park on the other hand have their highest charting track for this decade with their dire new track. Lastly, Lana Del Rey returns to the top 50 with "Love" after previous lead single "High By The Beach" narrowly missed out, so perhaps a 4th #1 album isn't out of the question.

Of the album chart, we have a new #1 yet again, and it's an Australian band that few people outside of Australia have heard of, yet again. In fact I'm not even sure how Busby Marou nurture their popularity anymore. They had a respectable hit on triple j back in 2011 with "Biding My Time" but I couldn't name a single song they've released since then except for their song which is currently being used on a TV promo. Nonetheless, they score a #1 debut. The only other major debut of the week comes from Ryan Adams who has been riding higher and higher on the charts in recent years. He now scores his highest ever debut with "Prisoner" at #3. Next week is also pretty light on big releases. Likely the top debut will come from Western Australian band The Waifs, who perhaps will battle with Adele for the #1 spot as she rides current touring hype. There are also potential top 10 debuts for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Stormzy & Horrorshow.

Now 8 weeks on the trot for "Shape Of You" and it's going nowhere. Ed does finally have competition that isn't from himself however, as there is a new debut in at #2 for The Chainsmokers and Coldplay. This makes it Coldplay's highest ever charting single, tied with "Viva la vida" and "A Sky Full Of Stars", and it's also The Chainsmokers' 7th top 10 hit but outright second highest. Following last week's strong debut, Kygo & Selena Gomez are now seeing the top 5 for the first time ever with "It Ain't Me", while Jon Bellion has some luck on his side as he is higher on the overall chart than either of the component charts, reaching the top 10 this week. Calvin Harris has the next highest debut of the week, with "Slide" also narrowly debuting higher than previous single "My Way" did. It's also a new height on the singles chart for Frank Ocean & Migos, who have both only charted once on their own prior. The big debuts don't stop there with Zedd coming through at #16 with "Stay", which looks set to be his first ever lead artist top 10, after "Clarity" and "Stay The Night" peaked at #13 & #11 respectively. It's also a bumper week for Future, who after last week charting only for the 2nd time in the top 50, is quickly back in with his Rihanna collaboration, and if that's not enough, "Everyday" with Ariana Grande also debuts lower down. But of course the only story that really matters down there is the resurgence of Bag Raiders' "Shooting Stars". Originally a hit in 2009 that finished in the top 20 of triple j's Hottest 100 that year, the song wouldn't reach the top 50 until 4 years later when someone danced to it on Australia's Got Talent (I think) giving a huge digital boost, truly Australia's own Mint Royale. But nonetheless, thanks to the power of glorious memes, it's back yet again. Also I must serve a reminder that I really have no idea if Ed Sheeran's tracks will be included in next week's charts. His Spotify dominance isn't quite on the level of the UK (the lowest track on the album is #32 on Spotify today), but I would expect maybe 9 or 10 top 50 debuts and the rest in the bottom half.

I can say with some level of confidence that his new album will be debuting at #1 on the album chart next week though. For this week however, things are more humble as we see Western Australia's own The Waifs pick up their first ever #1 album with their 8th release. They're a band whose popularity I would say hit its peak in 2002, and I've honestly not heard anything from them in nearly a decade, but such are the album charts of the present to favour the older market. This also shows in the fact that the band pipped to the post are much more modern. They're also one of the most prolific bands in the world nowadays. For the uninformed, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are a psych rock band formed in 2010. They released their debut album in 2012 and all up they have released 9 albums now. Last year's "Nonagon Infinity" was a big success for them and their first top 50 peaking album, now their latest album has soared them up to #2 in the standings. Oh and they're supposedly releasing 3 more albums later this year. Next up on the debuts list are Australian hip-hop veterans Horrorshow, who are stepping down a little here at #4, given their previous album debuted at #2. We continue the Australian debuts here as at #7 we've got Holy Holy with their second album. Meanwhile Adele's touring here is doing wonders as "21" re-enters the top 10 and "19" re-enters the top 20. The UK's #1 album from Stormzy debuts at an unlucky #11 but at the very least, he just outsold Rod'N'Bait Man so there's that.

I'm fairly certain "Divide" would be straight away certified at least 2 times Platinum on chart debut week. If not, it will be happen on next few week chart.

You called it! Double platinum straight away. Every track in the top 40 also.

If the notion of Ed not having the top two last week was troubling, then rest assured we're back to that this week, possibly thanks to his new album released. This makes 9 weeks at #1 for "Shape Of You", and unlike in the UK where "Galway Girl" is making a threat, "Shape Of You" looks unchallenged in the near future. That new Sheeran album takes over pretty much everything on this chart with 13 debuts all in the top 40. "Dive" is the highest of the lot because it was promoted here on the iTunes frontpage. There are only two more debuts in the rest of the top 100, the highest of which coming from Lorde who scores her 2nd top 10 hit with "Green Light", perhaps consolidating Australia as her strongest market outside of New Zealand. To note on Ed's achievements this week though, he's got the most simultaneous entries ever in the top 10, top 20 and top 50, though not top 100 as Michael Jackson had many more in the weeks following his passing. Elsewhere this week, Zedd indeed scores his first ever lead artist top 10 with "Stay", and Bruno Mars disingenuously bullets hugely with "That's What I Like", because its streams weren't being counted until now for no reason.

Ed Sheeran also gets his 3rd #1 album, and 2nd #1 album debut, unsurprisingly decimating the competition and selling just shy of 100,000 copies. For comparison, no other album this year had even debuted on 10,000 sales. The top 5 also features his other two albums, alongside Adele's most recent two, as she has been touring in Australia. Less noticeable here is Justin Bieber's rebound as he has just started his Australian tour and may climb further next week. To show that there is still some semblance of national pride here, the other top 10 debuts this week are from Australian artists, All Our Exes Live In Texas and Kingswood. There's not much in the way of big new releases this week so don't expect much change at the top of the album chart.

Thrilling news, for the 10th week in a row, it's the Sheeran show. "Shape Of You"'s 10 weeks at #1 makes it among the longest running #1s of all time and as you might figure from "Castle On The Hill" remaining at #2, there's little in the way of competition still. The Chainsmokers are getting close on iTunes but making next to no progress on Spotify. Unlike in the UK, iTunes users haven't quite cottoned onto "Galway Girl" which is #28 on digital tracks but shoots up to #7 on the chart thanks to huge streams. Meanwhile Bruno Mars scores his 9th top 10 hit with "That's What I Like", and Jon Bellion returns so it doesn't seem like he was just lucky to get there before the Sheeran take over. Australia lives up to expectations with buying anything that has P!nk's name on it in excess, with Stargate scoring their first credited chart entry in "Waterfall", which is quite the opposite to "Galway Girl" as it's #5 digital but shoved down by lack of streams. Not much to note otherwise. Next week you can look out for Drake though I only expect "Passionfruit" to crack the top 40.

Thrilling news, the Sheeran show never ends. "Shape Of You"'s 11 weeks at #1 makes it the second longest runner of the decade behind Pharrell's "Happy". As it stands, there's still no competition to stop it really, still leading on sales and streaming by decent amounts. The Chainsmokers aren't out of contention just yet but they might need a big album week release boost to do so as they're still way behind. Luck is on my side as we go down to 10 Sheeran tracks in the top 50, with two of the more questionable entries, "Nancy Mulligan" and "Barcelona" at #51 & #52. Drake's "More Life" nets a top 20 debut for "Passionfruit" and nothing else, because with the arbitrary state of things in the chart, nothing else was allowed in the chart. Nothing probably would have cracked the top 50, but "Free Smoke", "Portland", "Get It Together", "Blem" and probably some others should be in the top 100. Clean Bandit also debut in the top 50 with "Symphony", which is their first top 50 single that doesn't start with R and end with E, though it maintains their run of 8 letter singles. Expect big moves from the track in the coming weeks.

Sheeran remains at #1 with little competition on the album chart as well, selling about as much as #2 & #3 combined. Drake gets another #2 album with "More Life", having only hit #1 with "Views" last year. Zara Larsson debuts in the top 10 with her debut album, while Milky Chance reach #8 with their 2nd album, the same peak as their "Sadnecessary" album managed in 2014. Likely there'll be no change on the top next week, but look out for potential strong debuts from Lee Kernaghan, James Blunt & Northlane.

I didn't realize this was a thing! Too bad 'Come Over' and 'Stronger' didn't chart, although that would've ended the R/E thing much earlier.

Very pleased to see a top 10 debut for Milky Chance! Maybe they can keep getting supported here and be the next Good Charlotte or something.

Posted by: Dircadirca Mar 28 2017, 06:34 AM

Now I'm just imagining the Milky Chance guy as a judge on The Voice or something It does seem like they've really struck a chord with triple j listeners to the point that Australia is like their biggest market now.

For the 12th week in a row, it's Ed Sheeran at #1zzzzzzzz. "Shape Of You" continues to be mostly uncontested, though radio have just recently picked up "Galway Girl" which is now selling strongly and likely to land in the top 3 next week. It's in a similar situation to Drake's "Passionfruit" for new tracks being strongly benefitted by streaming. "Passionfruit" climbs to #4 despite never cracking the iTunes top 10. Lower down we have ZAYN performing slightly better than he did in the UK with his latest single debuting at #21. David Guetta & Kendrick Lamar ride strong digital sales for their latest top 40 debuts though both look to rapidly vanish. In the case of Kendrick, he has backup in the form of "HUMBLE." which is looking set for a top 10 debut next week. Future also continues his recent hit streak with "Mask Off" becoming his first solo top 50 entry. "Selfish" could potentially return to the top 50 thanks to strong Spotify promotion. "Fake Love" also re-enters the top 50 this week thanks to its streams being properly counted this week.

The album chart continues to be Sheerantown without competition. The deadwood is slipping off though with his previous albums leaving the top 10 this week. It's a good week for Australian artists too in the debuts, with the #2 slot going to local country artist Lee Kernaghan with a mixture of old & new material. It's his 2nd highest charting album behind only his "Spirit Of The Anzacs" album which spent a month at #1 in 2015. Next up at #3 is metalcore band Northlane with a slight direction change on new album "Mesmer". It's their 3rd consecutive top 3 album, with their previous album "Node" having reached #1 in 2015. Australia has always been one of James Blunt's best markets, where he often has benefitted from X Factor promotion to score hit singles. This time around he has nothing of the sort, but still manages a top 10 debut at #7, with his previous studio albums all landing in the top 5. Also debuting in the top 10 is Steel Panther, whose last album came hilariously close to hitting #1 in 2014, this time around they can only manage #10. Next week's potential top 10 debuts come from Jamiroquai & Mastodon, but overall it looks to be a slow week.

Hot exciting action going on at the top of the...nah it's just Ed Sheeran again. "Shape Of You" racks up its 13th consecutive week at the top, which makes it the equal longest running #1 on the ARIA Charts, tied with Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise". Chart pundits will note that prior to the ARIA era, ABBA logged 15 weeks at #1 with "Fernando". However, while the battle for the top spot in the UK is a close one, over here, Harry Styles started with a huge 8:1 lead on iTunes, effectively guaranteeing him next week's #1. In the meantime, Ed Sheeran takes over the #2 slot with "Galway Girl", which becomes the 3rd song of his to be blocked by "Shape Of You". It's also a big week for new entries in the top 50, the biggest of which belongs to Kendrick Lamar, who gets his first ever solo top 10 hit following his collaborations with Taylor Swift, Sia & Maroon 5. His previous solo peak was #32 for "King Kunta". Next up is yet another new single for Calvin Harris, which is importantly the first ever top 50 single for Young Thug. Local hip hop group Bliss N Eso pick up their 9th top 50 hit with "Moments", giving them only one less than kingpins Hilltop Hoods.

No change on the album chart of course. The closest competitor to Sheeran is the Moana soundtrack, assumably due to a DVD release. Sludge metal favourites Mastodon picked up their first top 10 with their previous album in 2014 reaching #10, now they step it up a notch with their latest album debuting at #3. Also joining them is Jamiroquai who score their highest charting album in over a decade. Next week we find out how many people have been pining for that Chainsmokers album. It won't be #1, and will battle The Smith Street Band and Tina Arena for top debut.

2017's villain has been vanquished and we finally have a new #1 courtesy of Harry Styles. "Sign Of The Times" opened with huge sales and has no problem taking the top spot despite not yet being able to reach the top 10 on Spotify. Amusingly this also means that the Australian and UK #1 singles continue to be identical, as they have been since around the start of December. There's a good chance that won't be the case next week, it would seem that it's a battle between "Shape Of You" and "Galway Girl", the former still excelling on streams, the latter leading on sales. However "Shape Of You" has just yesterday been ousted from the #1 spot on Spotify by Kendrick Lamar, who could potentially see those high streams through to a #3 finish next week. Elsewhere, Clean Bandit score their 3rd top 10 hit with "Symphony", which is also Zara Larsson's 3rd top 10 hit. Future scores a top 20 hit with "Mask Off" despite still not having cracked the top 40 digital tracks chart. Halsey continues to be boring but scores her first lead artist top 50 single, having come ever so close with her 50 Shades track earlier this year.

The album chart doesn't have the same relief as Divide is now #1 for a 6th week. A few challengers this week though I imagine none were particularly close. Coming in at #2 this week is a new compilation release for Tina Arena, followed by the ever increasingly popular Smith Street Band who score their first top 10 album with "More Scared Of You Than You Are Of Me". It proves to be a fun thing to note that they've never cracked the singles chart before, but here they are outselling the debut album from The Chainsmokers which comes in at #4. Pentatonix also score their 2nd top 10 album while Father John Misty sees new heights with latest album "Pure Comedy". Next week will see the first genuine challenge to Sheeran's top spot as Kendrick Lamar looks to have huge digital sales for new album "DAMN.". Perennial high-charter John Mayer also looks set to land in the top 5.

Because we can't have nice things, "Shape Of You" returns to #1 for a 14th non-consecutive week. This means that it's the longest running #1 single for the ARIA period which goes back to the mid-80s. There's one more hurdle and that's ABBA's 15 week running #1 "Fernando", and it's not out of the realm of possibility. Incidentally, Ed's toughest competition will come from himself as "Galway Girl" has re-asserted itself at the top of the iTunes chart, though its streaming lags behind a bit. Otherwise, it was also a big week for Kendrick Lamar with the release of "DAMN." last week. Huge streaming figures propel "HUMBLE." to #2, equalling the peak of "The Greatest" and only behind "Bad Blood" which reached #1, but it's by far his highest lead artist peak. Funnily enough, his next highest lead artist peaks are debuting this week, notably "DNA." and "LOYALTY." both in the top 20. There's also "LOVE." but that's all that made the ARIA Chart. My suspicion is that ARIA only included the songs that reached the top 100 in digital sales, because if you included all of the streaming data correctly, I believe the entire album should have charted. Lady Gaga's new single "The Cure" was oddly doing better in Australia than it was in the UK/US on iTunes, taking the biggest lead here. It ended up just 4th on digital sales, but it took until the end of the week to crack the top 50 on Spotify so it has to settle for a #17 debut. With sales still strong, it looks to rise next week. Some old songs are of interest below the top 50. Lord Huron debut their 2 year old song "The Night We Met" thanks to strong digital sales and decent streams from its inclusions in the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. Also Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" remains in the chart for the 124th week (though it would have dropped out if Kendrick's songs were rightly included) thus overtaking "Riptide" as the longest charting song ever. Also thanks to the Justin Bieber remix, Luis Fonsi's huge smash "Despacito" finally debuts here, being the first latin hit to chart here in ages, the only one I can think of from this decade is "Bailando" though that needed an English version to do so.

2 years ago, Kendrick Lamar scored a #1 debut with "To Pimp A Butterfly", being the first ever digital only album (at the time) to do so. He can't repeat the feat with "DAMN." due to the overwhelming power of whitebread music. Speaking of which, right behind at #3 is a debut from Australia's Got Talent alumni Mark Vincent. Mark Vincent is super unlucky because his debut album missed out on holding the #1 spot because of Michael Jackson's passing in 2009. He's since gone on to release a new album nearly every single year since, and this new one is the 5th to crack the top 10. Also debuting in the top 5 is John Mayer, which is a bit of a slump for him as his last two albums peaked at #1. It's his 6th to reach the top 5 though. Next week looks to be slow for new releases, perhaps Allday or Brad Paisley could reach the top 10?

Writing about Ed Sheeran is boring so let's not do that. Fortunately it looks like there'll finally be a reprieve next week. DJ Khaled's new track has shot to #1 on iTunes with a handy lead, while making good progress on Spotify (I expect it to move up to #2 either tomorrow or the day after), so it looks a good bet for #1. Also worth noting amongst this is Clean Bandit who continue to make progress with "Symphony" and should pass some of the declining competition. The biggest new release of the week came from Shawn Mendes who gets his highest ever debut at #8, with "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" becoming his 3rd top 10 hit. With strong sales it should shoot into the top 5 but its streaming currently lags it behind so it can't challenge for the top spot. Notable news also this week is that Lady Gaga has scored herself a top 10 hit with "The Cure". This is single chart heights she has not seen in a last time, as her last top 10 hit in Australia was actually "The Edge Of Glory" in 2011! Justin Bieber's version helps push "Despacito" into the top 30 and it should continue to climb from here thanks to very strong streams. In the world of not very strong streams, we get current insight into the dipping sales of this climate as James Blunt debuts at #20 on digital tracks but only manages #67, but hey, now he has a charting single from his latest album so there's that.

Over on the album chart we have another new #2 album as the #2 artist in the 2015 Hottest 100 poll makes way for the #2 artist in the 2016 Hottest 100 poll. Local artist Amy Shark's debut EP is just long enough at 6 tracks to be counted to the albums chart. Following her we have the new Guardians Of The Galaxy soundtrack at #3. The first one debuted at #7 but went on to peak at #2, so time will tell how this one will compare. The last debut in the top 10 comes from local rapper Allday who scores his 2nd top 10 with his 3rd album. He doesn't quite match the #3 peak of his previous album from 2014. Next week we could actually see a new #1 thanks to slipping sales of the current one. The new #1 could come from local rap group Bliss N Eso who are no strangers to the top spot as their last two albums have done so. Gorillaz should also appear somewhere in the top 5.

^ haha, beat me to mentioning it. I'm quite curious to see how it'll shake things up next week, though I suspect the main beneficiary will be #1 regardless...

We've got a bit of an interesting occurence on the singles chart this week. DJ Khaled takes it out with a #1 debut, despite having never charted in the top 50 before at all! In fact he'd only previously charted a few times last year with the tracks "For Free", "Holy Key" & "Do You Mind" all in the bottom 50. Of course you could easily chalk up some of the success to the guest list, all of which have been appearing in the top 50 at some point in time, most notably Justin Bieber who notches up his 4th #1 hit after "What Do You Mean?", "Love Yourself" and "Cold Water". For everyone else, it's their first time at the top, even Lil Wayne who with a decade of hits under his belt, only got as high as #2 guesting on Jay Sean's "Down". Otherwise, it's a bit of a close battle going on in the top 10 which results in not much shifting. One notable exception is the other entry into the top 10, Luis Fonsi's "Despacito", which now has Justin Bieber credited on it, giving him two new top 10 hits in one week. It also now outpeaks Daddy Yankee's only other top 50 entry, 2006's #12 hit "Gasolina". Also debuting this week is Kygo & Katy Perry, the former off to a bit of a slow start compared to "It Ain't Me" so it's not yet clear if it can make the top 10, the latter a bit unfortunate for an artist that typically debuts in the top 10 with pre-album release singles. Both of Katy's singles might be just clinging onto the top 50 next week at this rate. Also, The Voice seems to still have a tremendous effect on digital sales here but it's a bit muted on the chart. Chris Stapleton's cover of "Tennessee Whiskey" got all the way up to #2 on iTunes this week but only enters at #70.

With the last ever week of the album chart being determined purely by sales, we have a new #1 this week. It would seem the artist with the power to stop Sheeran turned out to be local hip hop trio Bliss N Eso. They're stalwarts for the genre at this point, now on their 6th album, and the 3rd consecutive one to debut at #1. It comes in a troubling year for the group, as back in January during the filming of one of their music videos, an actor was fatally wounded in a manner not unlike that of Brandon Lee, after which their album release was delayed, which has proven oddly fortuitous as they likely would not have gotten the #1 going against 2nd week Sheeran. In addition to the album success, their current single "Moments" climbs up to #25, which oddly enough is their first time in the top 25 after 9 top 50 entries. Also debuting this week is Gorillaz with their 4th proper album "Humanz" at #4. The virtual band have had just one album hit the top spot, 2010's "Plastic Beach", while "Demon Days" was relegated to #2 behind System of a Down. The last top 10 debut of the week comes from Adam Harvey with the sequel to his most successful album "The Great Country Songbook", an album that stirred a bit of chart controversy in 2013 as sales were incorrectly counted leading it to initially appear to debut at #1 before it was corrected and it landed at #2 behind Kanye West's "Yeezus". That album was Adam teaming up with Troy Cassar-Daley, while this one is with Beccy Cole. It's Beccy's highest charting album, and Adam's 2nd highest after the aforementioned. Bruno Mars' recent tour announcement has "24K Magic" shoot back up into the top 10. Next week may be a bit of a mystery to me given the rule changes, perhaps The Chainsmokers & Drake will have the only real noticeable improvements, while contending for the top debut (though I don't suspect any will make the top 5) will be Logic, Chris Stapleton, Asgeir & San Cisco.

DJ Khaled & crew score a 2nd week at #1 but it looks to be their last. Though they're still dominant on streaming, the remix of "Despacito" has taken the top spot on iTunes and with the added sales & streams of the original, it looks to safely take the top spot next week. Overall the top 10 doesn't change this week. The top debut of the week is Niall Horan's "Slow Hands", which gets the unlucky #11 position despite being #3 on digital sales. As it continues to struggle to reach the top 50 on Spotify, it looks not to join "This Town" as a top 10 hit in the near future. "Swalla" jumps into the top 20 giving Jason Derulo his highest charting lead artist single since "Want To Want Me" in 2015. Also debuting this week is Jonas Blue's new single and 4th top 50 hit. It features William Singe who Australian readers might recall as a member of X Factor-formed boyband The Collective.

It's a big week for the album chart as it's the first to include stream equivalent sales. Unsurprisingly, the most streamed album is from Ed Sheeran who has no problem taking the top spot even without them. Also getting big boosts from streams this week are Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Drake, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber & Zara Larsson. There are a whole heap of debuts this week but only one to reach the top 10 this week which is a Greatest Hits compilation for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. The next highest debut is from At The Drive-In who score their highest charting album to date. Next week we'll see if Harry Styles can do enough to take the top spot from Ed Sheeran. Oddly enough, streaming will be on his side by the looks of things but it looks to be a close battle. Paramore should also appear somewhere in the top 5.

Any reason for Kaleo in the top 40, or just a late-impacting hit? Nice to see either way! Excellent start for 'The Cure' as well. The UK/US/Aus charts are all looking too much alike at the moment.

I think it might have been on a TV promo but I know it's getting a lot of radio airplay. The ARIA run really sells it short because it's been as high as #8 on digital sales.

Australia has caught up with the US & UK as "Despacito" has now hit #1 here. Unsurprisingly this is the first time at #1 for Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee, but Justin Bieber continues to add to his tally. After "What Do You Mean", "Love Yourself", "Cold Water" and "I'm The One", this is now his 5th #1 hit here, which means he overtakes Bryan Adams to be the Canadian artist with the most #1 singles. Meanwhile, we had a new debut high up on the chart. With strong performance on sales & streams, Miley Cyrus scores her highest ever debut with "Malibu" at #3, which is also her 2nd highest charting single to date after the #2 peaking "Wrecking Ball", and her 7th top 10 hit. It's otherwise a generally quiet week on the singles chart, notably a tour announcement has nearly every Ed Sheeran track rebounding back up, he has 6 more tracks in the chart than he did a fortnight ago.

There's a new #1 on the album chart as well. Ed Sheeran comes with a huge sales increase this week, but it's not quite enough to topple the debut album from Harry Styles, which takes the #1 spot despite a bit of a deficit in album streams. This follows suit with ZAYN whose debut album also hit the top spot last year, though Harry did so with much higher sales. We then take a long step downward to reach the #3 album, Paramore being unable to continue their run of #1's which they achieved with 2009's "Brand New Eyes" and 2013's "Paramore". The last big debut of the week comes from Zac Brown Band, who score their second top 10 album though they don't reach their peak, as 2015's "Jekyll + Hyde" debuted at #6. Next week I suspect Ed Sheeran will safely return to the top, while Linkin Park will try for a #2 album. We may also see high re-entries from the various catalogues of the recently passed Chris Cornell, maybe "Black Hole Sun" could even re-enter the singles chart.

Shaping up to be one of the biggest hits of the year, "Despacito" has no problem staying at #1, while Justin Bieber continues his quinella with "I'm The One" at #2. There's almost no change in the top 10 this week but there is a new arrival, with Niall Horan's "Slow Hands" rising up to #10 to become his 2nd top 10 hit. Incidentally, with this climb, he causes fellow band mate Liam Payne to debut at #11 just like he did 2 weeks ago. Liam is now top 10 on both iTunes & Spotify so he may be able to climb up next week. Also debuting this week is Selena Gomez's new single which is her highest ever debut apart from "It Ain't Me" by entering at #13. Katy Perry returns to the debut position of "Bon Appetit" while also scoring another top 40 debut with "Swish Swish". Enough people managed to find out the title of the Imagine Dragons song to get them a 2nd top 40 single this year, while Camila Cabello's debut solo single just gets into the top 50 thanks to a decent digital start. Special mention must also go to Soundgarden, after Chris Cornell's passing, their biggest hit "Black Hole Sun" has re-entered the top 50 (while Audioslave's "Like A Stone" also re-enters lower down).

As look to be the case whenever there isn't a major new release, Ed Sheeran returns to #1 for a 10th week at the top. Harry Styles maintains another solid week of sales to stay at #2, meaning Linkin Park can only manage a #3 debut, which is the same peak as their last album, with all of their studio albums having reached the top 3. Chris Cornell's passing also allows for the debut album for Audioslave, and the particularly popular "Superunknown" album (which curiously was already in the chart last week) to surge into the top 10. For Audioslave this is actually a new peak. Local folk duo Pierce Brothers score a new peak and 2nd top 10 album, though it is with an EP. A deluxe repackaging of blink-182's last album causes the Grammy-nominated "Built This Pool" and other songs to return to the top 10. Even without Soundgarden & Audioslave, it's quite a nostalgic '90s/'00s week, with other debuts from Rascal Flatts, DragonForce & Papa Roach. Next week's top debut will likely be from Powderfinger singer gone solo Bernard Fanning, though I don't suspect he'll reach the top spot.

Yet again we have the same unchanged top 3. Things will no doubt erupt next week with the combination of some big hits being covered on The Voice, and the effect of the Manchester tribute spilling over to here as well. Big beneficiary is of course Ariana Grande's "One Last Time", which just sneaks into the lower half of the chart this week, but looks to move up a lot next week as it's currently #3 combined on iTunes. It has previously peaked at #15 but it's too tough to say if it can match this. Niall Horan also looks to climb considerably next week, with both of his singles currently top 10 on iTunes, "Slow Hands" was possibly only 2 or 3 sales away from hitting the top spot last night. Speaking of 1D alumni, Liam Payne makes up for last week's unlucky debut and climbs into the top 10 this week, making Louis the only member without a top 10 hit. The added Kendrick Lamar remix gives Future's "Mask Off" a jolt up to #13 this week. Martin Garrix & Rita Ora have strong initial support for their new debuting singles, though Garrix is lagging on sales now and might have trouble climbing. For those who like the chart to be accurate (like me), it's a good week as we finally get the much delayed debuts for Maggie Lindemann & Lil Uzi Vert straight in the top 50, while Starley's "Call On Me" which peculiarly disappeared for 2 weeks is back in, perhaps for one last week in the top 50. I suspect French Montana's "Unforgettable" is currently missing from the chart but should possibly debut next week.

Business as usual on the album chart, Ed Sheeran has his 11th week at the top, having only taken 2 weeks off the top spot since release. Less than a year after his last album, Bernard Fanning releases another one which appears to be a companion album, given the opposing titles. He peaks at #2 yet again, having previously hit the top spot twice with his first two albums, as well as 5 more times as the lead singer of Powderfinger. Ever prolific post-hardcore band In Hearts Wake are also back in the chart, their newest album "Ark" reaching #3, one less than their last album, but their 3rd top 5 album overall. While not as enthusiastic as the Britons, Australia embraces the 50 year anniversary of The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers album which re-enters at #5. Lastly, the top 10 sees a new debut for local punk veterans Frenzal Rhomb, who despite reaching their commercial peak nearly 20 years ago, have never had a top 10 album until this week. Next week we may have Halsey & alt-J both competing to match their previous #2 chart peaks, while local singer songwriter Pete Murray and perhaps All Time Low will also reach the top 10.

If you expect "Despacito" to be challenged, you are sorely mistaken. It has been challenged on iTunes a little recently, but its dominance shows no signs of stopping at this point. It is possible that we'll be seeing a full Justin Bieber top 3 next week, though that's dependent on how "2U" can climb on streams, and how "I'm The One" can hold on sales. Niall Horan's "Slow Hands" has become a challenger since the Manchester concert, and it outpeaks "This Town" this week, reaching #3. As far as solo One Direction singles go, only "Pillowtalk" and "Sign Of The Times" have reached higher. He's not alone in the top 5 either as Liam Payne's "Strip That Down" has now climbed to #5. Despite #11 & #12 both getting sales boosts this week, the top 10 is the same 10 songs as last week. Having previously charted exclusively in the 20s, Halsey's album release sees a big boost for "Now Or Never" into the top 20. As expected, "One Last Time" re-enters the top 50, though only at #35 as it doesn't quite have the same streaming support as in the UK, it reaches a new peak of #11 on the digital tracks chart though. Streaming support is the way to go with reaching the top 50 though, as evident with this week's entries from Major Lazer, Peking Duk & Lorde. Foo Fighters outsold all 3 of them but can only reach #53, which I believe is their highest chart position this decade. French Montana's UK top 5 hit "Unforgettable" is finally let onto the chart, and as it cracked the Spotify top 50 recently, expect it to do the same on this chart next week. Childish Gambino's "Redbone" also looks to re-enter the top 50 for the first time since February. It has actually never left the ARIA top 100 since release and is a good chance of making the End of Year chart despite only peaking at #30.

It's a big week of new album releases, and you know what that means, the public ignore it all to keep Sheeran at the top. It's unlucky times for Halsey who scores her 2nd #2 peaking album. Behind her is Pete Murray, who despite not having a hit this time around, outpeaks his previous album, which only reached #6. Before that, his first 3 albums all reached the top spot with multiplatinum sales. On the other hand, alt-J are slipping a bit back this time around. They reached their highest peak with their last album debuting at #2, though with stronger competition, their 3rd album only reaches #4. All Time Low are also a little short of their best effort, but score a 2nd top 5 peaking album this week. Lastly in the top 10 is Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, who scores his first solo top 10 album in 27 years this week. Next week looks to be packed with new releases, so expect Sheeran at #1 again. #2 contenders will come from Hillsong UNITED, Katy Perry, London Grammar, Lady Antebellum & Rise Against, it's quite possible they'll debut #2-#6.

Ouch, that's pretty disastrous for The Veronicas.

Posted by: Dircadirca Jun 12 2017, 03:34 PM

They had TV promo this week so they'll be up, potentially top 10 digital overall, not that it counts for a lot these days.

What I've said every week continues to hold true, "Despacito"'s reign sees no threat in the forseeable future. It was nearly toppled on iTunes yesterday by Jennifer Hudson's "Remember Me"(!) but now it's smooth sailing on sales and streaming. As is obligatory, a new Justin Bieber song gets super high in the charts, replacing another Justin Bieber featuring song at the #2 spot. This is David Guetta's highest charting single since "Lovers On The Sun" also peaked at #2, and with lagging sales, it may be set for a similarly underwhelming chart run. Meanwhile, Liam Payne & Niall Horan swap places and thus share a #3 peak with their latest solo releases. A wonderful thing has happened and "Redbone" returns to the top 40, while as somewhat predicted, The Veronicas do reach top 10 (#10 in fact) on digital tracks, which amounts to a #41 position on the ARIA Chart as they're yet to reach the top 200 on Spotify I think.

Speaking of my occasional correct predictions of the album chart, we have 5 high new entries in the positions #2-#6. From what I've read, just 1 sale separated Katy Perry & London Grammar, both landing 1 spot lower than their previous albums. For the first time this year, we've got a Hillsong album in the top 10, their tally now up to 22 in all incarnations. Rise Against continue to choose bad release weeks, but score a 4th consecutive top 10 album, having gotten as high as #2 with 2011's "Endgame". Lastly, though their chart runs are getting shorter and shorter, Lady Antebellum are consistent with a 5th top 10 album, all between #4 & #8. Next week we should get a much needed reprieve from Sheeran as Lorde looks likely to get another #1 album. Twitter friends Nickelback & Royal Blood should also land in the top 5.

A bit late so I'll make it quick. Despacito is up to 6 weeks at #1, still looks safe for further weeks. Liam Payne climbs to #2 making "Strip That Down" the outright 3rd highest solo 1D charter after "Sign Of The Times" and "PILLOWTALK". "Wild Thoughts" is DJ Khaled's 2nd top 10 hit and Rihanna's 31st. It's also Bryson Tiller's first time charting though his non-charting single "Don't" recently became the first non-charter to be certified platinum. Thanks to performing on The Voice, Jennifer Hudson gets her first ever lead artist top 50 hit, with "Remember Me" as high as #7 on digital sales.

New #1 album this week courtesy of Lorde, just as it was with "Pure Heroine" in 2013. She's also the first to unseat Ed Sheeran for most album streams for the week since it's been introduced to the chart. Ed Sheeran is of course still strong in that department, which keeps him ahead of Nickelback who outsold him, but can only reach #3. It's similarly slight diminishing returns for Royal Blood, who enter 1 spot lower than their debut album did in 2014. Fleet Foxes score a 2nd top 10 with their 3rd album. Next week we'll see if Lorde can fend off the Sheeran menace, while high new entries will come from Imagine Dragons and DJ Khaled.

7 weeks in a row for "Despacito" now. It's starting to show some weakness on iTunes with the airing of The Voice grand final pushing it down to #5. Currently #1 is Niall Horan, who is however relatively low on Spotify, but he may be able to match Liam's #2 peak next week. Instead at #2 this week is "Wild Thoughts", which is actually only Rihanna's 3rd song to peak at #2 as it stands, the other two being "Unfaithful" and "We Found Love". Jonas Blue gets his 3rd top 10 hit this week, while Charlie Puth gets his 5th. In fact every Charlie Puth track to chart thus far has reached the top 10. It also graciously ends "Shape Of You"'s top 10 run just in time before it can break The Prodigy & Guns N' Roses' record for longest top 10 run. On the topic of The Voice, last week had Jessica Mauboy perform her latest single, which sent it to #1 on iTunes but only #20 on ARIA. It's gaining some streaming traction so it could climb in the future. Lastly, Khalid's "Location" finally is let on the chart, it's been delayed so long that it's already certified Gold.

On the album front, top debut honours go to everyone's favourite psych garage rockers, as King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard release their 2nd album for the year, landing just one spot lower than last time. In doing so they keep Imagine Dragons at #4, which is the same peak position as their first two albums. DJ Khaled also debuts just 1 spot lower than his last album, but it's his 2nd top 10 album nonetheless. Perhaps the major news of this week was anniversary re-releases. The first of these is probably familiar to you, with Radiohead's much publicised "OK Computer" re-release coming in at #6, which is actually a new peak for the album which previously debuted and peaked at #7 (every Radiohead album since has peaked at #2). The other one is a local favourite, as Aussie rockers Grinspoon have celebrated the anniversary of perhaps their most beloved album "Guide To Better Living". Similarly to Radiohead, they reach a new peak as the album originally peaked at #11 back in 1997. Next week we'll see Stone Sour & Calvin Harris duke it out for top debut honours, though likely not challenging the top spot.

That's 8 weeks for "Despacito", which means it overtakes "Love Yourself"'s 7 weeks as Justin Bieber's longest reigning chart topper. If you want that to change...you're not in luck as "Despacito" is currently #1 on iTunes & Spotify again. Niall Horan did get the digital #1 this week however, and matches Liam Payne's "Strip That Down" peak of #2. In new peak news, Imagine Dragons have bafflingly reached #6 with "Thunder", matching "Radioactive" as their highest peak. Calvin Harris also returns to the top 10 for the first time since "My Way", with "Feels" at #9. Otherwise this was a bit of a slow week especially considering that The Voice was about the only thing that mattered. The victor Judah Kelly has his song "Count On Me" (not a Bruno Mars cover) in the top 20, while runner up Hoseah has "Paper Planes" (not an M.I.A. cover) in the top 40 as well. This is pretty impressive considering last year's winner couldn't even crack the top 50. Also to note is that Katy Perry performed on The Voice finale sending "Swish Swish" to a new peak and keeping "Witness" in the top 10.

Speaking of the album chart, it's another bore at the top, while Stone Sour have the highest debut at #2. The band have previously reached the top 10 twice, but this is a new high for them. Calvin Harris debuts at #5, which if it sounds lacklustre, it's partially because of reasons unknown that none of his album streams counted...it just happens on ARIA for some reason. Correctly counted, he'd definitely be at least #4 and come close to #3, which would match his highest debut with "Motion" in 2014. As Ed Sheeran's sales aren't super strong at present, it's possible he could be challenged next week, with both Haim & Jay-Z contending for their first ever #1 album, but knowing my luck he'll probably be #1 again.

The reign of "Despacito" sees no signs of stopping as it notches up week 9 and maintains a top spot on both iTunes & Spotify even without the non-remix version in tow. Noteworthy action in the top 10 is Calvin Harris's "Feels" moving up to #5, which is his highest charting single since "This Is What You Came For", and also now Big Sean's highest ever charter. Kesha leads off the debuts with "Praying", her first time in the top 50 since 2013. The only other top 50 debut is from Zedd & Liam Payne, which unlike their previous singles, looks like it's struggling to get off the ground.

In the battle for top debuts, Jay-Z takes the gong, with "4:44" at #3, which is a slight retreat for him as his last album peaked at #2, as did Haim's first album (behind Lorde's newly debuting "Pure Heroine" as it were), but now they land at #4. Calvin Harris's streams appear to be correctly recorded this week as he maintains a #5 position. Also just outside the top 10 is Australian indie pop band The Jungle Giants, who narrowly reach a new chart height of #11, having previously reached #12 back in 2013, unlike Jay-Z & Haim, they had the time to release another album between these two years. Hopes for a new #1 album next week look grim, but perhaps Meg Mac's long awaited debut can pull it off?

If you want a new #1, you've been swiftly denied yet again, and look to do so indefinitely. "Despacito" lands 10 weeks at the top, and is set for an 11th. It has been dethroned on iTunes by "Thunder" for some reason, which has become Imagine Dragons' first top 5 single. The #2 position continues to be a revolving door with Liam Payne back at the helm. With presumably thanks to a TV spot, Jessica Mauboy's "Fallin" climbs to a new peak of #11, making it the highest charting Australian track released this year. This week's album chart also maintains, with the highest debut at #2 being the much awaited debut album from Australian singer-songwriter Meg Mac. Also for a first time ever, a Punk Goes Pop compilation reaches the top 10. Next week looks to be busy with new albums from Lana Del Rey, Vera Blue & Tyler, The Creator. And of course following the passing of Chester Bennington, we'll likely see big re-entries for Hybrid Theory, Meteora & One More Light.

There is no stopping the "Despacito" train. It's crawling its way up the ranks as one of the longest ever running #1's with it picking up an 11th this week and most likely a 12th next week. The closest contender is bafflingly "Thunder" which has the sales lead on iTunes but streaming is a little behind. Meanwhile Calvin Harris keeps climbing up with "Feels", and Macklemore picks up a 7th top 10 hit with "Glorious", because Australia. The top 10 is closed with the biggest news of the week, with Chester Bennington's death leading to a sales spike en masse of all things Linkin Park. They even have, if you can believe it, more than 3 re-entries on the chart, with a total of 16 tracks all up in the top 100. The highest of which is "In The End" which returns to the top 10 for the first time in 15 years. There are no new peaks to speak of though "Papercut" comes a few places shy, and of course the title track to "One More Light" makes its way in as a new entry. Also Louis Tomlinson debuts a new track just 1 place lower than "Just Hold On" did before going on to peak at #20.

The Linkin Park news continues on the album chart but they stop just short of taking the top spot. That instead goes to Lana Del Rey who is now 4 for 4 with #1 albums. Only One Direction have as many #1 albums as her this decade. And so at #2 we have "Hybrid Theory" returning to its original peak from back in the day, while "One More Light" and "Meteora" also find a way into the top 5. The charts were not shy of debuts either, and if not for Linkin Park, we'd have been seeing top 5 debuts for Vera Blue & Tyler, The Creator. But for both of them, these are their first top 10 albums, with Vera Blue previously charting under her given name of Celia Pavey when she was a finalist on The Voice Australia. This week also saw the passing of a local hero, blind indigenous singer Dr. G Yunupingu, whose highly successful 2008 debut album re-enters the top 50 with just a couple days of sales in reaction to the news. Next week we'll see if Arcade Fire can get their first #1 album, or otherwise succumb to the mighty power of MOR from either Ed Sheeran, Passenger or Voice winner Judah Kelly. Dan Sultan may find his way to a top 10 debut also.

how is 'Thunder' doing that well?? I don't seem to recall any of their other singles peaking so high in Australia.

Posted by: Dircadirca Aug 1 2017, 10:44 AM

The only thing that makes sense to me is if it's on a TV commercial or something (I wouldn't know), its airplay hasn't even been great, it's always been full price on iTunes, and for quite a while it was just one of those songs that were sticking in the charts due to Spotify playlists. They've only previously had Radioactive, On Top Of The World (one of the flukiest top 10 hits ever ) and Sucker For Pain in the top 10, but none hit the top 5.

Radioactive was massive though, 6x Platinum but ofc that isn't a reason for this smashing It's such a weak song for them too, it's so identikit song made for Spotify playlists :/

Also wow at it taking until near the end of July for the highest charting Aussie track and it gets to #11 Aus really need to appreciate local acts more.

In one of the most exciting weeks in living memory, the top 4 is unchanged, the dropouts are nearly exclusively Linkin Park songs, and the only top 50 debut is a song that has been held off from the chart for weeks. Of note however, "Despacito" is now the equal 2nd longest running #1 hit of the century, behind only that other song from earlier this year whose name I try to forget. Kesha also scores her first top 10 hit since "Timber" and 10th overall. "Back To You" has matched the peak of "Just Hold On" and looks to climb further in the coming weeks. Album chart is more of the same at the top, but there are a lot of debuts up in that zone. Arcade Fire continue to peak higher with each successive album, and have their 4th consecutive top 10 album with "Everything Now". Judah Kelly has the highest charting album from The Voice in several years. Alice Cooper scores his highest charting album since the '80s, while local artist Dan Sultan scores his second top 5 album to date. For Passenger it's his 4th top 10 album. Next week looks quiet on the new release front save for a top 5 chance for Boo Seeka's debut album. Following today's news we could see an influx of Glen Campbell albums.

"Despacito" has now been #1 for 13 weeks, which in the ARIA Chart era, is only matched by "Gangsta's Paradise" and surpassed by that shape song. Imagine Dragons creep ever closer to the top spot but this will be as close as they get, as Australia's unofficial prime minister P!nk has released a new song which will no doubt be taking the #1 slot this weekend. As "Unforgettable" spends its 14th week in the UK top 10, it finally gets there here after two unlucky weeks at #11. Dua Lipa maintains consistency with all of her top 50 singles also reaching the top 20, 4 in total (only "Blow Your Mind" has also charted below the top 50). In yet another thrilling week of new arrivals, there are just 2 along with 1 re-entry, and the only songs leaving, are ones which re-entered recently anyway ("Heavy", "Skin", "Don't Leave"). The album chart doesn't fair much differently. Boo Seeka land their debut album in the top 10, but it's so quiet that Lorde & Kendrick are back in the top 3. Next week will have more going on, but it's hard to say for certain whether the #1 position is in threat. If anyone does take it, it'll be Paul Kelly or Kesha.

Nonetheless, "What About Us" easily gives her a 9th #1, and unlike a lot of her recent ones, looks to stick there for more than one week with huge digital sales though admittedly lagging streams. Even Australia's adoration of P!nk is not immune to the indistinguishable blur of country by country streaming popularity and she's only reached #32 on Spotify so far. In saying that, we do have a new streaming #1 this week via Macklemore who has previously topped the chart with "Thrift Shop", "Same Love" & "Can't Hold Us", now he's just one spot shy of scoring a 5th ARIA #1 as "Glorious" moves to #2. There's not much else to note in the top 10. Louis Tomlinson comes closer to catching up as the only 1D member yet to score a top 10 solo hit. Avicii is also back in credited action on the chart for the first time since 2015. Unlike the UK, everything is powering behind "Without You" and the Rita Ora collab is nowhere to be seen.

It's one of those fortunate weeks where Ed Sheeran isn't #1 on the album chart too. Quite a week at that too as the new #1 comes from none other than Paul Kelly, among the most beloved & respected musicians this country has ever produced. What makes this a landmark is that in his 40 year spanning career, this is Paul Kelly's first ever #1 album. The closest he got was 20 years ago with his huge Greatest Hits collection which is pretty much a staple in Australian households. He's not the only one reaching new heights this week though, because we can also note Kesha who scores her highest ever album, as "Animal" peaked at #4 on debut, and "Warrior" at #12. We also have another local debut in the top 5 with Jen Cloher's second album becoming her first chart entry, all the way up at #5. Next week looks likely to keep Australia on top and maybe Sheeran to an all time low of #3 or even #4, as Paul Kelly looks to sell well into a second week, and there'll be big new entries from Gang Of Youths and Thy Art Is Murder.

In an unsurprising turn, Australia still continues to be rather fond of P!nk. It is worth noting though that "What About Us" landing a 2nd week at the top is relatively noteworthy, as among P!nk's 9 #1 hits, 4 of them have just 1 week at the top. In doing so, she stops Justin Bieber from notching another one for the time being, just like his previous BloodPop collaboration "Sorry", it debuts at #2 behind a major release. It would look like there'll be some further pressure on these songs as next week you can certainly expect a #1 debut from Taylor Swift which isn't showing any signs of being a one week affair like it may be in the UK. Speaking of which, the UK's current #1 "New Rules" reaches the top 10, which is Dua Lipa's 2nd top 10 after "Be The One". Also of note this week is Demi Lovato reaching #14 with "Sorry Not Sorry", which is her highest chart peak, tied with two features in "Somebody To You" and "Up". She looks likely to surpass those next week with top 10 in sight.

As expected, it's a big week for locals on the album chart. Debuting at the top is Gang Of Youths with their second studio album. They've previously charted at #5 with their debut in 2015, and #2 with an EP in 2016, but now they safely see the top spot, and well deserved too as one of the best bands in the country at the moment. Paul Kelly also shows strong sales again to stay at #2, so "Divide" is down to #3 for the second time ever. The ever prolific King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are back again with their 3rd new album this year, and yet again they're landing in the top 5. On the heavier side of things, local act Thy Art Is Murder debut at #5, their highest position yet, while US emo icons Brand New see a huge new chart height of #6 with their comeback album. They've only previously reached #40 with their 2009 album "Daisy". Keeping up what is a good week for many varieties of rock, we've also got a top 10 debut for Welsh pop punk band Neck Deep, their first time reaching such heights. Rock fans have not run out of new albums to buy either, as next week we'll see if Queens Of The Stone Age can pick up a 2nd #1 album. Also looking out for strong debuts are The War On Drugs, and local act Gordi.

You'll not be shocked at all to learn that "Look What You Made Me Do" has also debuted in Australia. It's unstoppable on both digital and streaming, and given the fact that there isn't anything on the chart that is particularly strong on both components, it'll probably take another big release to replace it. This is her 5th #1 album, the majority being from "1989". Most of the top 10 is sliding down to accommodate it, but Dua Lipa bucks the trend with "New Rules" moving up to #6. This matches the peak set by "Be The One" last year, which was similarly unlucky to reach its peak on the week a big track made its place in the top 5 (that being Prince's "Purple Rain"). Demi Lovato's "Sorry Not Sorry" is now her highest charting single outright, while looking primed for top 10 glory next week. Khalid is slowly taking over the chart, having first entered the top 50 less than 4 months ago, and already accumulating 5 top 50 hits, 4 of which are there this week. "Young Dumb & Broke" has a big climb, "Silence" vaults into the top 40, and the Logic song re-enters with a new peak. Camila Cabello has also had 5 top 50 entries though she took a little longer to get to this point. "Havana" gets a big boost in streams this week and jumps past "Crying In The Club"'s peak. I'm also particularly pleased to see Portugal. The Man climb into the top 50, having never charted before, though they released https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKVA36in9AU.

Both charts are treated to new entries at the top this week, as weeks with "Divide" at #1 begin to be the minority. Taking top honours is Queens Of The Stone Age, who have regularly hit the top 10 since their 3rd album "Songs For The Deaf" in 2002. They hit #1 in 2013 with their 6th album "...Like Clockwork", and now they've done it again with "Villains". Paul Kelly amazingly keeps in the top 2 for a 3rd week in a row. Next highest on the debut front is The War On Drugs, who considerably improve upon the #28 peak of "Lost In The Dream" with their latest album hitting #5. A local act who I liken to a less boring Vance Joy in Kim Churchill, whose second album becomes his first top 10. Though they've not managed a top 50 single on this year, Fifth Harmony retain a loyal fanbase that provides them with a top 10 debut, though 1 place lower than last year's "7/27". I can't say for sure who'll be #1 next week, but it looks to be a good week for various music fans over 30, with new albums by Neil Finn, The Script & LCD Soundsystem. In the wake of a Carole King musical opening this month, her huge album "Tapestry" is currently #1 on iTunes so expect a big climb on next week's chart.

No change at the top, with a second week for "Look What You Made Me Do", Taylor also has the top debut for a second week with "...Ready For It?" at #3. Next week we'll likely see another #1 debut but from Sam Smith, who has yet to reach #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, his highest charting single being "Lay Me Down" which reached #3. Elsewhere, Demi Lovato scores her first ever top 10 hit with "Sorry Not Sorry". There's just one more new entry via Maroon 5's cover of "Sexual", otherwise it's a slow week. On the album chart, Sheeran is back at #1 due to streaming with Paul Kelly having the top sales of the week. The Script have the highest debut of the week. They have a tendency to release albums on very busy weeks so this is the first time they've done this, despite the fact that "Rain" has not charted here at all. LCD Soundsystem also score their first top 10 album by the narrowest of margins, and also because ARIA aren't counting XXXTENTACION's streams for some reason (which is also why "Jocelyn Flores" isn't in the top 50). Vance Joy also gets a big boost on both charts thanks to a TV appearance. It looks likely we'll have a #1 debut next week, with a battle between Jack Johnson, The National & Anthony Callea.

For the first time ever, Sam Smith has a #1 single in Australia. He also helps create some notable history for his persuasion, as Anthony Callea's debut at #1 means this is the first time that two different gay men have ruled both charts simultaneously. There has previously been a similar instance 20 years ago though it was the case of George Michael leading both charts himself, it's to your own discretion which is a more impressive and/or peculiar feat. Either way it's curiously well timed as Australia is currently undergoing a nationwide postal survey which will hopefully allow same-sex marriage to finally be recognised here. Back on the single chart, there's some noteworthy news to report with Dua Lipa scoring her first ever top 5 hit in "New Rules", one can only imagine that "Be The One" could do the same if it had the same synchronised Spotify playlist support since it was a hit in Australia long before most other countries. ZAYN also scores his 3rd top 10 hit which is also Sia's 10th with "Dusk Till Dawn". Logic is seeing a big discrepency between sales & streams (well, he has been for months) but he now has a 2nd top 10 hit after "Sucker For Pain", while Alessia Cara has her 3rd & Khalid his 1st. Khalid just generally has hits everywhere at the moment and also scores a top 20 hit with "Young Dumb & Broke". With Lorde's remix set to hit the top 50 next week, he could end up with 5 top 50 hits at once provided "Location" doesn't drop out.

As previously mentioned, Anthony Callea is #1 on the album chart, this being his 3rd stint there. His first was scored back in 2005 on the back of his runner up finish on the second season of Australian Idol, while the second one was about a year ago and set a new record for the lowest selling #1 album at the time. As the title suggests, the tracklisting is exclusively ARIA #1 singles, and is headed by BuzzJack favourite "All Of Me", setting the tone for primarily ballads. Unfortunately "Harlem Shake", "Here's Johnny", "Gangnam Style" or "Thrift Shop" did not make the setlist, what can you do? Because of that very vital musical release, The National are held to their 2nd #2 peaking album in a row, previously having made the unwise decision to release on the same week as Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories". Jack Johnson keeps his run of top 3 album peaks alive seemingly thanks to some handy TV promo which shot his album up to be the #1 digital seller of the week. This is his 7th top 3 album, and he's previously hit #1 4 times. I don't quite comprehend what works in the world of country music & pop music that is marketed as country music in Australia, because Kip Moore has managed a top 10 debut here, while this week's US #1 from Thomas Rhett is only #30. Britons Nothing But Thieves make good progress with peaks having improved 15 places on their debut album to land at #12 this week. Next week, Australia is Australia which means the Foo Fighters will debut at #1. Angus & Julia Stone thus must resign to a #2 peak for releasing on this same week. Otherwise perhaps look out for Prophets Of Rage & BTS to unknown extents, and London Grammar are poised for a big top 50 re-entry as their tour here commences.

We're currently seeing some massive dissonance between digital & streaming markets. #1 on the streaming chart was Logic but he's not even top 20 on iTunes, while the top seller of the week P!nk isn't top 20 on streaming either. What it comes down to here is who's managing consistently, which just happens to be Sam Smith, sitting at #1 despite not being #1 or even #2 on either category. Dua Lipa gets a similar stroke of luck that sees her up to a new peak of #2 with "New Rules". Post Malone now stands at #1 on Spotify by quite a way, but without much to show for it on sales. Still it's enough to see him debut in the top 10 which is a first for both him & 21 Savage. Lauv also makes his slow crawl into the top 10 this week. Portugal. The Man have the biggest move of the week as "Feel It Still" moves up into the top 20, with more upward movement poised as it's now top 10 combined on iTunes. Niall Horan has his 3rd top 50 single, but despite reaching #1 on iTunes upon release (which is a first for him), slow streaming gives him his lowest debut to date. The remix of "Homemade Dynamite" gives Lorde her 3rd top 50 entry this year, while Skrillex has his first top 50 hit in just over a year (and 8th overall), as he brings longtime behind the scenes songwriter Poo Bear with him on "Would You Ever". In a gracious moment, both "Riptide" and "Thinking Out Loud" are out of the top 100, so the oldest current charter is "Can't Stop The Feeling!", one of 6 songs that have charted every week this year so far (alongside "Redbone", "Starboy", "Closer", "Say You Won't Let Go" and "I Don't Wanna Live Forever").

On the album chart we have a new #1 as expected, with the ever-reliable chart force of the Foo Fighters picking up their 7th #1 album. All 6 of their studio albums this century and also their Greatest Hits set have done so, and in typical Foo Fighters fashion, the album is instantly certified gold. Up behind them is a local debut for Angus & Julia Stone, who perhaps should have chosen a different week to release as their last two albums safely debuted at #1. A stirring Like A Version performance shoots Gang Of Youths back up the chart for a 5th week in the top 10, contrast this to their first album which dropped out of the top 50 on its 4th week. Korean boyband BTS also debut in the top 10 which is possibly the first Korean album to do so. Last year we had BABYMETAL set a new bar for Japanese artists at #7. Next week's #1 battle is a complete toss up. Foo Fighters may be able to retain it, but Ed Sheeran's persistence can't be denied either. Then there's the debuts from Macklemore & The Killers which will pose a threat. Macklemore has yet to score a #1 album, while The Killers haven't done so since "Hot Fuss".

Interesting at how a total of now 13 different songs have peaked at #2 on the ARIA chart, compared to the 12 of the UK chart (with ACR) and just 3 on the Billboard chart. Like you said, I think the main reason for this is the such wide disparity between sales and streaming charts in Australia. It's certainly more interesting to watch the chart in terms of #2s, much more than #1s.

I'm going to make a bit of a prediction now that New Rules, 1-800-273-8255, Good Old Days, I Like Me Better, Rockstar, Havana, and Too Much To Ask will add to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_top_10_singles_in_2017_(Australia)

If you haven't been following Australian current affairs, we've got a bit of a doozy on our hands that will manifest itself in next week's chart. For the time being, we have a curious case where the #1 single wasn't top 20 on downloads, and the #1 seller isn't top 10 on the overall chart. Such is the severe dissonance between the two component charts at the moment, Post Malone's high streaming can compensate to take him to #1. This week we had new albums from Macklemore & The Killers, and they see strong impact on the singles chart this week, but this is just the warm up, as both acts were briefly in Australia to play at the NRL & AFL Grand Finals respectively, which, both on the same weekend, are the two biggest sporting events in the country. Macklemore's performance was of particular note, because you might recall us formerly having Tony Abbott as prime minister. He hasn't fully gone away so he created quite a stir about Macklemore on the basis of his song "Same Love", since Australia is currently undergoing a postal vote on whether or not to allow same sex marriage, and said former prime minister is very much against it. Because Australia is Australia, the resultant discourse from this political stir is that "Same Love" shot to #1 on iTunes, days before Macklemore even performed, and it has now been #1 for a whole week. It will have to overcome Post Malone's mighty streams, but it is entirely possible that Macklemore's former #1 single from 5 years ago could re-enter at #1 next week. The Killers were moderately less controversial and should see "Mr. Brightside" and perhaps other singles re-enter the chart. If you're reading this from the UK, that probably doesn't sound special, but over here, despite the track's immense popularity, it has not re-entered the chart once since 2005.

Both acts are the main story of the album chart as well, with The Killers coming out on top. "Wonderful Wonderful" is their 2nd #1 album after "Hot Fuss", and their first album to debut there. They have been previously unlucky to release on inauspicious weeks against Evanescence in 2006, and P!nk in 2012. It also means Macklemore continues to be alluded by the #1 position on the album chart, with his latest album entering at #3. He previously reached #2 with "The Heist", buoyed by having 3 colossal hits back to back to back. Local band British India debut at #12 with their 6th album, which ends their streak of top 10 albums that started with their 2nd in 2008. I've pretty much grown up with this band and got to see them live in my town last year so I endorse their work. Next week we'll see if either of this week's debuts can maintain off the back of their football performances, but otherwise we'll see Miley Cyrus & Shania Twain both hoping to score their 3rd #1 album. The passing of Tom Petty will also likely affect the chart as his Greatest Hits set currently leads iTunes.

That would be quite something if 'Same Love' re-entered at #1 officially off the back of the same-sex marriage postal vote. I just hope for Australia that they say Yes but I reckon it'll be as close as Brexit in either direction. I reckon Post will stay at #1 though.

Come for nonsense on the charts in 2017 and be greeted by the status quo. "Rockstar" continues to fall on the digital tracks chart (though it has risen stupendously in the coming week) and dominates streaming and thus the chart for another week. Off the back of Macklemore's NRL performance, "Glorious" returns to its #2 peak and off the back of our most recent former PM's gaffes, "Same Love" returns all the way up at #4, and is also #1 without a challenge on the digital tracks chart for the first time since it topped the chart back in early 2013. Perhaps the true cosmic moment of glory is that "Can't Hold Us" re-enters at the fitting position of #69. In standard chart news, we've got Camila Cabello scoring a top 10 hit with "Havana", her first solo following two top 10 hits with Fifth Harmony. Khalid scores his first lead artist top 10 hit while his first featured artist top 10 retains a top 10 position as well. It's a week of remixes to bolster current hits with "Mi Gente" shooting up to a new peak of #11 thanks to Beyonce and "HUMBLE." rebounding a bit thanks to Skrillex. Time will tell if these potentially short lived remixes will retain their crediting on the chart, ARIA has had a habit in the past of not doing the right thing in that regard. Thanks to their AFL performance, The Killers return to the top 50 singles chart for the first time in about 9 years. Unfortunately, for no good reason, ARIA is not counting "Mr. Brightside"'s streams, so this boost is not properly representative, and will be very short-lived even though it should last several more weeks in the chart. At least they have included streams for their other past hits which find their way back lower down. Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" also finds its first time into the chart (though John Mayer's cover narrowly missed the top 50) as the rock icon passed away last week.

It goes without saying that Shania Twain is a fair bit popular in Australia. "Come On Over" spent over a year consecutively in the top 10 some 20 years ago. "Up" couldn't maintain the same sales but it still debuted at #1, and now "Now" gives her a 3rd #1 album. The puns pretty much write themselves at this point because for younger fans of slightly country-tinged pop, Miley Cyrus's latest album might have been the place to go, and "Younger Now" debuts at #2. Miley has been a strong album seller here for all parts of her career, and just misses out on her 3rd #1 album. For fans of covers albums & Australian pop rock from the early '90s, there's a collaborative album from Rick Price & Jack Jones debuting at #7, just ahead of Demi Lovato whose streams have not been included and thus should have had her debut at #7 #justariathings Regardless of the kerfuffle, it's her 2nd top 10 album after 2015's "Confident" came in at #3. The Killers also see their Greatest Hits set smash into the top 10, having previously debuted and peaked at #30. Next week perhaps look out for a new #1 via either the latest Like A Version album, or maybe the second installment of Jessica Mauboy's "The Secret Daughter" soundtracks.

Relative normalcy returns to the chart with all the chaos of last week subsided. With digital sales for it booming, Post Malone is showing no signs of stopping at #1, especially since he's pulling the 2nd biggest numbers ever on Spotify at the moment, yesterday's figures have him only 10K behind "Shape Of You"'s biggest day. Incidentally, this means misfortune and possibly a 4th #2 hit from Divide coming as "Perfect" is perched at #1 on iTunes but not making impressive gains on Spotify as of yet. He does however outpace his original debut position as it climbs to #4. This week however, the closest competitor to the top spot is Camila Cabello, whose "Havana" has a big jump to #2, meaning that it actually outpeaks "Work From Home" and becomes her highest chart position to date. In what is one of the strangest things I've typed for this, Portugal. The Man score their first top 10 hit with "Feel It Still", while of less interest is Macklemore scoring his 7th with "Good Old Days". Post Malone's "Congratulations" goes double platinum this week having spent about half a year in the top 50 now, but "I Fall Apart" enters the top 50 for the first time this week and instantly outpeaks "Congratulations". After many close weeks, Cardi B finally cracks the top 50 this week meaning that the last Hot 100 #1 hit to not make the top 50 here goes back to being "Dark Horse", or if you don't want to count that, Ludacris's "Money Maker" from 2006.

On the album chart, for the 5th year in a row, the latest triple j Like A Version CD debuts at #1. The 38 song tracklisting is comprised of mostly Australian artists with some international exceptions in Glass Animals, Milky Chance, Kasabian, Bishop Briggs, PUP, Margaret Glasby, AURORA, Maggie Rogers, Haim & Asgeir. In one of the closest battles for #1 in some time, the runner up spot goes to Jessica Mauboy with the soundtrack to the latest season of The Secret Daughter, which of course contains her #11 hit single "Fallin'". The first series' soundtrack debuted at #1. For the rest of the top 10 debuts, '90s nostalgia lives large. Marilyn Manson debuts at #4 with his latest album which is his 6th top 10 and 2nd highest charter behind only his 1998 #1 "Mechanical Animals". Also in the top 10 is Liam Gallagher with his first solo album. Debuting at #9, it lands 1 spot lower than Noel Gallagher's latest album did. Oasis scored 6 top 10 albums and 2 #1's in their time. Post Malone's year old album also climbs into the top 10 this week, helped largely by being the second most streamed album of the week. At the current rate, it may overtake Divide on that regard next week. But of course none of the matters with regard to the top spot, because P!nk has released a new album and thus will ask for a residency there for most of the rest of the year probably. In classic P!nk fashion she's already announced an extensive tour for next year which includes 6 different arena shows across a whole week in both Melbourne and Sydney.

In a bit of a rush this week, but there's not much to note. Post Malone remains at #1 and P!nk debuts at #1 with the 2nd highest sales week of the year, so they'll probably stay at #1 the next week. Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile's collaborative album gives Courtney a 2nd top 5 album, and Kurt his first top 10. Looking to enter strongly next week is Niall Horan's debut album + lots of George Michael stuff.

Post Malone has a 5th week at #1, but his time may be running out sooner than expected. With the added boost of the video release, "Havana" is getting quite a digital boost and isn't too far behind on streaming, so it could be a close battle between the two next week. Khalid scores his 2nd top 5 hit and highest overall with "Young Dumb & Broke" up to #4, while Portugal. The Man also move into the top 5 with "Feel It Still". Taylor Swift gets another top 10 debut with "Gorgeous", though with increasingly diminishing returns. Her first single this year debuted at 3^0, the second at 3^1, and the third at 3^2, so perhaps expect a #27 debut in the near future. Niall Horan gets big boosts due to his album release, while Spotify trick everyone into listening to Christian rap, as for the 2nd week in a row we have a top 50 entry titled "Let You Down". For the second time ever, Dean Lewis scores a top 50 hit by re-entering the top 100 at #50. 12 weeks late, ARIA finally lets "Bank Account" onto the chart, meanwhile "Jocelyn Flores" is still egregiously missing, and "XO TOUR Llif3" is still not getting a good percentage of its streams counted correctly.

P!nk unsurprisingly remains at #1 for a 2nd week, meaning that Niall Horan can 'only' debut at #2, only the 2nd One Direction-related album to miss the top spot after "Made In The A.M.". Trivium's latest album debuts at #4, matching their previous best peaking album, "Shogun" in 2008. The George Michael doco made it over here as well, and he has a big return to the chart at #5. Next week will probably see P!nk at #1 again, with competition for the #2 spot coming from 360 and Chris Brown.

Post Malone notches a 6th week at #1. With "Havana" making steady progress on sales & streaming, it may be the last week at the top though it'll certainly be close. In the meantime, Post Malone has a second top 10 hit via "I Fall Apart" with the only other change in the top 10 being Macklemore's return with "Good Old Days" which also reaches a new peak in the process. On the quick side of notching up multiple hits, Marshmello reaches the top 15 for the first time this week, and for the second time, with "Silence" climbing and "Wolves" debuting. In its 35th week charting, "Congratulations" returns to its peak of #30. On the album chart we have P!nk prevailing for a 3rd week. I can't say for certain if she'll be there next week as Sam Smith will no doubt make some sort of splash. For now the highest debut this week is the 4th album from local rapper 360. He lands inbetween his last two albums, which peaked at #4 & #2. Chris Brown scores his 6th top 5 album, though he's yet to have a #1, while Kelly Clarkson misses the top 5 for the first time since her debut album, though she persists with her top 10 streak as she debuts at #6. Oddly, Hanson return to the charts for the first time this century with a Christmas album. They previously debuted at #3 with a Christmas album 20 years ago, on a notably competitive week where the top 4 were all new entries. The only other artists on both of those charts are Midnight Oil & Paul Kelly. Also for a rare case, Ed Sheeran doesn't have the most streamed album, as Post Malone has finally caught up to him on that regard.

Man's Not Hot actually making an (albeit small) impact outside of the UK Is a future top 40 hit possible?

Post Malone seemingly more popular in Aus than in UK too, shame it looks as if Camila will struggle to claim a week at #1.

Big Shaq could get there , he's doing well on sales & streaming, just needs a slight push to get into the Aus top 50 on Spotify and that's probably all he needs. I think it's already pretty much the biggest 'grime' hit here lol. The closest I can think of is Dizzee's "I Don't Need A Reason" which barely cracked the top 100. Skepta & Stormzy are popular here but they've not charted yet.

I also think Havana is a very strong chance to get to #1 this week or next. The gap between the two songs dropped significantly this week, and Camila's slimming the margin by roughly 10-15K each day on Spotify.

Post Malone holds #1 for a 7th week, but once again it may be the last as the margins are continually slipping with "Havana" poised to take it. He does now however hold the top 2 tracks on Spotify as "I Fall Apart" is still climbing there. Maroon 5 score their 10th top 10 hit with "What Lovers Do" off the back of the album release and should stay there for at least one more week. Marshmello gets his first top 10 hit and Khalid's 3rd with "Silence"'s long climb finally arriving in the top 10. "Wolves" has the potential to get there as well next week. N*E*R*D return to the top 50 for the first time in 13 years with "Lemon" while also improving the quality of the chart we've got Rita Ora & Big Shaq entering as well.

In a reasonably close battle, P!nk retains the #1 spot for a 4th week. This is unfortunate times for Sam Smith who just like with his first album, he debuts at #2, unable to catch the incumbent #1 (last time it was Coldplay's 2nd week at #1). "In The Lonely Hour" did eventually reach #1 though so who's to say that can't happen here too? Sam Smith can take solace that he has the most streamed album of the week. It does seem highly likely that P!nk will surrender the top spot next week and I don't think I need to tell you why. Last week the original American Idol Kelly Clarkson scored her 6th top 10 album, this week the original Australian Idol Guy Sebastian has his 9th, also landing slightly higher than his last album despite having a bit more trouble scoring hits this time around. Not the only local debut in the top 10 either, as on the heavier side of things we have Polaris scoring their first top 10 album. Maroon 5 score their 6th top 10 album but by only landing at #7, it's their equal lowest charting album alongside 2010's "Hands All Over". As we've got an Elvis + Orchestra album re-entering the top 50, one with Roy Orbison debuts in the top 10. This is the first time Roy Orbison has appeared in the top 10 in Australia in 28 years.

There were roughly 10 chart points between the top two this week. Unlike in the UK's "Groove Is In The Heart"/"The Joker" battle, it's resolved with both parties getting a turn at the top. So Camila Cabello & Young Thug both get their first ever #1 with "Havana". Given that this probably wouldn't have happened with the Daddy Yankee remix, he has amazingly been involved with 2 #1 hits this year. Marshmello's hits continue to rise so he now has two in the top 10 simultaneously. "Wolves" becomes both his and Selena Gomez's 2nd top 10 hits of the year. On the other hand, it's the first time in the top 10 for a long time for Eminem & Beyonce. Their new collaboration "Walk On Water" debuts at #10, which is Eminem's first time there since "The Monster" in 2013, and amazingly Beyonce's first top 10 hit since "Run The World (Girls)" also hit #10 in 2011. It's also quite fun because #10 is colloquially (mainly for me) Eminem's favourite chart position, primarily calling back to "Not Afraid" spending 8 weeks there, never dropping off no matter how low it got on iTunes at the time. Avicii's "Lonely Together" probably should have entered the chart around the week it came out, but ARIA have just now decided to acknowledge it, right as "Without You" plummets out of the top 50. Thanks to a very belated rise into the Spotify top 50, Halsey's "Bad At Love" returns to the official top 50, now without the help of the Dillon Francis remix.

To the shock of nobody, Taylor Swift debuts at #1 without a threat. "reputation" is her 4th consecutive #1 album, having debuted at #1 with every album since "Speak Now". "Fearless" unluckily peaked at #2. It also wouldn't be November without a new Kerser album, who for the 5th year in a row, gets a top 10 peaker in the process. If it counts as a studio album, Evanescence keep up their perfect run of top 10 albums. In a run of very long titled albums, there's a new live Cold Chisel album in the top 10, while Pnau narrowly miss the top 10, but also narrowly reach a new peak in the album charts of #11. There's nothing big on the way as far as debuts come, so Taylor will almost certainly hold #1, but with a big live boost, Paul Kelly & Lorde should shoot up the charts, as should AC/DC with the news of Malcolm Young's passing.

No change at the top this week, and with thanks to the new remix, Camila slightly extending her lead with "Havana". She might be surrendering the top spot this week as the video release for "rockstar" has helped give it a digital boost, once again it'll be close. We actually have 3 artists with 2 tracks in the top 10 and each artist has those two songs adjacent. This means that Marshmello is blocking himself from the top 5 and Post Malone is blocking himself from the top 2. Speaking of Post Malone, "Congratulations" in its 38th week on the chart has once again hit its old peak position of #30. We'll have the ARIA Awards impacting next week's chart, but leading up to that, Pnau score their 3rd top 50 hit with "Go Bang" this week.

Taylor Swift holds #1 though with a significant drop off from last week's sales, so P!nk may be able to reclaim it which is my way of saying 'for the love of all that is good, not Buble again'. Speaking of Christmas though, Sia scores her 4th top 10 album with her new album of original Christmas songs. Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's collaborative album also does well, scoring Tim his highest ever chart position of #9, and seeing Faith Hill back in the top 10 for the first time in 15 years. A re-packaging sends Tame Impala's most recent album back into the top 20, while as expected, Paul Kelly & Lorde have big boosts. Though they look just about ready to leave the top 50 this week, next week will no doubt see a massive boost for Gang Of Youths after taking the ARIA Award for Album Of The Year, bumping Taylor Swift off the top spot on iTunes no less.

In yet another close battle it's "Havana" on top, for its 3rd and likely last week. No doubt this week we'll also succumb to "Perfect", for which Beyonce may or may not be credited but no one will give a shit either way I'm sure. Last week we were at peak diversity with 3 artists having consecutive songs in the top 10, this week it comes with the bonus that the songs aren't even moving on the chart. Next week the top 10 should be disrupted by NF's manbaby anthem "Let You Down" which is the latest song to take the Spotify payola to radio/digital success route. Florida Georgia line now have two songs in the top 50 thanks to Bebe Rexha, and will likely climb a lot in the coming weeks with strong digital sales. Entering the top 50 for the first time is BTS, with "Mic Drop" just barely sneaking into the top 50, after "DNA" just barely snuck into the top 100.

Christmas sales start to kick in for the album chart and P!nk seems like she's lining the most Christmas trees this year (though nothing says I love you like buying a 6 year old Michael Buble album) so she returns for a 5th week at #1. This week's ARIA Charts basically were an advertisement for Daryl Braithwaite, who was inducted into the Hall Of Fame the same week he had a new Greatest Hits set out, an insane coincidence. Also getting big boosts were Gang Of Youths & Harry Styles who performed there. Little Mix's re-package sends their latest album back to #11. Next week U2 will probably have the highest new entry, but look like missing #1 with a traditionally released album for the first time in a long time.

Go Sia - top 10 in australia - Buble top 3 and wonderful to see Pink doing so well at no1!

Would be weird for it to be so summery during Christmas and listening to music that's about winter!

Posted by: Lenny Dec 20 2017, 12:22 AM

Haha yes I always thought that too! It must seem so alien to anyone near the equator or in the southern hemisphere.

Posted by: Dircandydircane Dec 20 2017, 03:23 PM

Yeah you're both right about that, which I think is why Australia's enthusiasm for Christmas is just nothing compared to the UK in the charts at least. I know I hear all the Christmas canon out and about in November & December, but only Mariah & Wham! ever re-enter the charts. And of course, we have our own popular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh79619xxk8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnJ8jsw4BSo that better reflect the hot & stinky time that is Christmas in Australia!

(Though this doesn't explain why Australia, more than any other country whose charts I follow seem determined to purchase the Buble album en masse every single year)

If the nearly 10 month old #1 single wasn't a clue, there's not much of a rush to find new music at the moment, with only a small handful of songs charting up high that aren't at least a couple months old. But we will have that new Eminem song ready to crash the party. Not at #1 of course, or #2 probably, as Australia seems to always be a little slow to pick up streaming on things like this, though it's just about ready to take the top spot on Spotify that rockstar has held continuously for months. Our hopes of an Australian song released in 2017 to make the top 10 may come down to Pnau's fast moving "Go Bang", though it will probably have to wait until the January slow period to keep its momentum up. Though I've not seen it to be sure, but I think thanks to a TV promo (it has to be), Calum Scott, famous for inflicting the worst scourge of the pop charts in 2016 is back in the top 50 with an original song that doesn't sound very original. At the very least, the Sheeran assault is helping prevent a Buble return to #1, as may the new Eminem album which you would think is coming hard & fast for #1, but it is a pretty sketchy time of year to release a new album so who knows.

Yeh. Buble does so well every year in Australia!

Note: I hand-typed these and entered them just as they appeared on ARIA's site (which is why Skrillex is credited on HUMBLE., lol), typos are likely.

ARIA Singles & Albums year end charts are (I believe) based on chart points accumulated while songs are sitting in the top 100. Incidentally, due to clerical errors in the chart department, this means that "XO TOUR Llif3" & "Location" both missed this list even though they 'should' be in there. The same thing happened to Frenship's "Capsize" last year though it managed to get in this time.

Posted by: Danuary Jan 4 2018, 04:10 PM

What a sad looking top ten. I can't at Australia's random Imagine Dragons and Macklemore obsession when neither of those songs were more than decent hits in the UK. Good to see Kendrick at #8 though and Clean Bandit doing reasonably well.

Posted by: Dircadirca Jan 4 2018, 04:14 PM

Yeah Thunder in general is just...why (at least Macklemore can be vaguely explained since Australia's always been his biggest market and he came to play the NRL Grand Final). It's even recently been on a cricket promo and almost refuses to leave the iTunes top 20 >.>

Posted by: Danuary Jan 4 2018, 04:19 PM

If anything though it's surprising that 'Thunder' wasn't a lot bigger in the UK when it was huge in America and Australia, I guess we were just lucky.
