Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts
(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)
Singles
Holding on for a fourth week at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart is “Call Me Maybe” by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen, maintaining its double platinum status this week.
Last Sunday night (15th April) the Australian version of ‘The Voice’ started on TV, followed by the 54th Logie Awards (Australia’s version of The Emmys). One of the judges from The Voice, Delta Goodrem also performed her new single “Sitting on Top of the World” at The Logies, and this week that song debuts at No.2. This becomes her 17th chart entry in Australia, and instantly becomes her twelfth Top 10 entry and eleventh Top 2 hit (eight number ones, two peaked at No.2 and one at No.7), plus its her first solo chart entry since “I Can’t Break it to My Heart” (HP-13, August 2008), but her actual last chart appearance was on the duet with Brian McFadden “Mistakes” (HP-41, Oct 2010).
Leaping to their highest position in Australia ever is Florence + the Machine with their new track “Never Let Me Go”, which is up fifteen places to No.3, and surpasses their previous Top 10 effort “You’ve Got the Love” (HP-9, April 2010). It helps that two albums are now carrying this track; “Ceremonials” which is back into the Top 10 at No.10 plus their new live album “MTV Unplugged” which debuts at No.17 this week, and also it’s use in the new ads for the tele-mini-series “Titanic” of which the first half screened during last week.
So after five weeks at No.2 Nicki Minaj comes out of that orbit and dips down two places to No.4 with “Starships”, but holding his strong foundations at its No.5 peak for a third week is Ed Sheeran’s “Lego House”. One Direction again have two songs within the Top 10 this week, “One Thing” dropping back three places to No.6, but up one spot to No.9 is “What Makes You Beautiful”, helped by the tail end of their national tour, and both of those songs being performed at The Logies.
Labrinth and Tinie Tempah suffer minor damage with their “Earthquake”, only down one spot to No.7, whilst halving their position from last week are fun and Janelle Monae with “We Are Young”, dropping four places to No.8. Lastly another Logie performer and tourist Flo Rida re-enters the Top 10 at No.10 with “Wild Ones”, and re-enters the Top 50 at No.43 (up eighteen places) with his Logie performed song “Good Feeling”.
NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Rihanna looks set to score another Top 10 entry next week with her latest track “Where Have You Been”, which jumps up thirteen places to No.12. Holding its No.15 peak for a second week are The Far East Movement and Justin Bieber with “Live My Life”.
T-Pain and Ne-Yo fell back a little last week with “Turn All the Lights On”, but this week it jumps up six places to No.26. Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” made it to No.1 in the USA this week, now becoming the twelfth country around the world to make it to the top of their charts, and it also goes back to No.1 for a sixth week on the World Chart. The Glee episode performance helped it to jump back up eight places to No.28 this past week, plus the Glee version debuts at No.67.
Pitbull’s “Back in Time” is up seven places to No.32, and up thirteen spots to No.34 is the new track for Ricki-Lee entitled “Do it Like That”. Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” from ‘Twilight 4.1’ turns around and goes back up seven places to No.38, and previously James Morrison had peaked at No.39 with “I Won’t Let You Go”, which this week leaps fifty-three places to re-enter the Top 50 at No.40. The final newly peaking track is 360’s latest “Child”, which is up a couple of places to No.44.
Calvin Harris scores the second of six debuts within the Top 50 this week, coming in at No.17 with his latest “Let’s Go” featuring Ne-Yo, who is already charting alongside T-Pain at No.26 this week. This is the third single from his forthcoming untitled third album, his previous two tracks were his first solo Top 10’s here, “Bounce” (HP-7, Sept 2011) and “Feel So Close” (HP-7, Nov 2011) which is sitting at No.87 this week.
THE VOICE: Sunday the 15th of April was the first episode of the Australian version of the singing reality show ‘The Voice’, which screened over three successive nights of blind auditions to get the judges their quota of twelve singers each. Five of the performances from those shows debut this week, making chart-stars out of contestants even before they have started to compete in the series.
First of these new entries comes in at No.18, blind contestant Rachael Leahcar (her surname is her first spelled backwards too!!) debuts at No.18 with her rendition of Edith Piafs classic signature tune “La Vie en Rose” (episode two). Judge Seal performed at The Logies too, and his September 1995 No.1 single “Kiss from a Rose” re-enters at No.31, plus his first single “Crazy” (HP-9, April 1991) re-enters at No.58 helped by the four judges (Seal, Delta, Keith Urban and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte) performing the song together at the start of the series.
Second night contestant Laura Bunting performed the No.1 single from 1978 by Kate Bush “Wuthering Heights”, and Kate’s song re-enters at No.39 this week, whilst the last act to perform on the first episode, Karise Eden debuts at No.41 with her rendition of “It’s a Man’s Man’s World”, original performed by James Brown (HP-39, July 1966), but was sounding more like the Renee Geyer 1974 version (HP-44, March 1975).
The very first performance was by a girl named Casey Withoos with the song “Samson”. Her version debuts at No.59, but the original by Regina Spektor enters at No.52. One place lower at No.53 comes Lakyn Heperi and his version of the February 2009 No.21 single “Kids” by MGMT, which was a stripped back acoustic version. Brett Clarke did a version of judge Keith Urban’s “Making Memories of Us”, and Keith’s version re-enters at No.78, having made it to No.54 from last years X-Factor performance. Finally from the third show (like Lakyn) comes Kelsie Rimmer and her version of “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry, which enters at No.89.
The fact that Channel 9 repeated the first three shows over this past weekend could help some of these songs to hang around for a possible second week in the charts too.
Lower 50: With the multitude of The Voice performances and original versions entering there are no new peaking tracks in the lower fifty this week, but several songs do re-enter, with Andy Grammer back in at No.66 with ”Keep Your Head Up”. Kate Miller-Heidke returns at No.68 with her former No.3 single from September 2009, “Last Day on Earth” helped by its use in the promos for the upcoming ‘Beaconsfield’ tele-dramatization. Natasha Duarte is back in at No.93 with “Wanted to Feel”, and Azealia Banks returns at No.97 with her “212” single.
Linkin Park are releasing their fifth album “Living Things” at the end of June, and the first single from that album “Burn it Down” debuts at No.70, and becomes the bands 21st chart entry in Australia. Also releasing a new album at the end of June are Maroon 5 entitled “Overexposed”, and they debut at No.86 with “Payphone” featuring Wiz Khalifa the first single from that album and their eleventh chart entry here.
Albums
One Direction left the country at the end of last week, after playing shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, plus performed two songs at The Logies and announced they will be back in 2013 for a full national tour. This has all helped keep their album “Up All Night” to stay at No.1 for a third successive week.
Kate Miller-Heidke debuts at No.2 with her third solo album “Nightflight”, which becomes her second consecutive No.2 album after her previous album “Curioser” hit that peak in September 2009 (debuted at No.8 in November 2008), whilst her first album “Little Eve” made it to No.11 in July 2007. Kate performed on Adam Hills’ shows this past week, doing her rendition of the Icehouse song “Hey Little Girl”, plus a new track from her album entitled “I’ll Change Your Mind”, plus her previous single “Last Day on Earth” re-enters the singles chart at No.68 this week.
Cold Chisel fall down only one place to No.3 with their first studio album this century “No Plans”, but their national tour has started, so that should keep sales steady. Adele also drops back a place to No.4 with her “21” album, whilst climbing to a new peak of No.5 is Bob Seger’s “Ultimate Hits” collection.
The Hilltop Hoods have spent six consecutive weeks inside the Top 10 with “Drinking from the Sun”, which they accumulated over three goes with their previous album “State of the Art” (2009), meaning that if this album stays another week in the top ten, it’ll be their longest running Top 10 album. Ed Sheeran scores a new peak of No.7 (up two places on last week) for his “+” album, but dropping three places to No.8 is Skrillex and his “Bangarang” EP. Climbing back into the Top 10 are The Black Keys with “El Camino”, up two places to No.9 and up three spots to No.10 are Florence + the Machine and their former No.1 album “Ceremonials”, notching up a seventh week inside the Top 10.
NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Flo Rida’s appearances around Australia last week have helped his limited edition EP “Good Feeling” to jump up nine places to a new peak of No.12 this week. Rihanna’s high flying new single helps its parent album “Talk That Talk” to jump up ten places to No.13, and helped by The Voice performance of one of his songs and the fact that he’s a judge on the show, Keith Urban’s “Greatest Hits: 18 Kids” returns to the Top 100 at No.21 this week.
Nickelback recently announced their upcoming tour of Australia, which helps boost their current album “Here and Now” back up eight places to No.25, and Michael Bolton’s current national tour has helped his “Gems: The Duets Collection” to leap up thirty-seven spots to No.26. Returning to the Top 50 at No.46 (up 32 places) is Troy Cassar-Daley’s “Home”, and re-entering the Top 100 at No.50 is James Morrison’s “The Awakening” helped by lead single “I Won’t Let You Go” jumping back into the Top 40.
The sixth album for US rock group Train debuts at No.14 entitled “California 37”. Lead single “Drive By” is at No.24 this week having peaked at No.13, and this new album becomes their fourth Top 30 entry in this country. “Drop of Jupiter” (HP-3, Sept 2001), “My Private Nation” (HP-29, June 2003) and “Save Me, San Francisco” (HP-8, August 2010).
Florence + the Machine debut at No.17 with the live/acoustic album “MTV Unplugged” featuring eleven tracks, nine from their two albums “Lungs” (TW-44) and “Ceremonials” (TW-10) plus two cover songs. And the fourth album for singer/songwriter Jason Mraz entitled “Love is a Four Letter Word” debuts at No.23, featuring the lead single “I Won’t Give Up”.
‘The Voice’ judge Seal has two entries on the ARIA Albums chart this week, firstly he comes in at No.24 with his second best of set “Hits”, and returning at No.75 is his “Soul 2” album. Also debuting within the Top 30 is the second album for New Zealand singer Gin Wigmore entitled “Gravel & Wine”. Her first album “Holy Smoke” made it to No.69 in October 2009 making this her first Top 50 entry here in Australia.
Victorian based performer Alston Koch goes by the name of just Alston nowadays, and his album “Don’t Funk with Me” debuts at No.42. Alston rose to fame in the mid-70’s as the singer with the band Dark Tan who had a No.70 hit with “Disco Lady” (1978), and of recent he has been an Ambassador for Tourism in Sri Lanka, which is his home country. Closely behind at No.43 is a new best of compilation for Neil Diamond “The Very Best of Neil Diamond”, this being his 25th such set of hits released.
Lower 50: “The Ultimate Bee Gees” peaked at No.64 in May of 2010, but this week it scores a new peak of No.57, up twenty-four places from last week. Another collection also rise’s, up nineteen places to No.60 is “Bon Jovi Greatest Hits”. The only other new peaking album is the current UK No.2 album “Boys and Girls” by Alabama Shakes which is up nine places to No.83. Returning to the Top 100 this week are Big Scary at No.67 with “Vacation”, “Blue Sky Blue” for Pete Murray at No.90, “In a Million Years” for Last Dinosaurs at No.92 and helped by her huge debut this week at No.2, Delta’s first album “Innocent Eyes” returns at No.97.
With tickets for Prince’s upcoming late May concert-in-the-round going on sale this past week, his latest best-of compilation “Ultimate” debuts at No.61. And the last new entry of the week goes to British power-metal band DragonForce, who debut at No.79 with their fifth album entitled “The Power Within”, becoming their second chart entry here behind the No.19 debut and peak of September 2008’s “Ultra Beatdown”.
Last note must go to Fleetwood Mac’s “The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac” which left the Top 100 this week after accumulating 295 weeks within the Top 100, now the longest run in Australian and ARIA chart history.

Delta Goodrem debuting at #2 in her home country is NO SURPRISE  Am shocked to see Florence + The Machine as higb as #3 with one of her weakest singles 'Never Let Me Go'. I'm loving the fact that Calvin Harris can debut top 20  What I hate is how the Australian charts have caught One Direction infection  Such a terrible boyband, I'm glad Rihanna stopped them from getting a #1 album in the UK but she couldn't save the American and Australian album charts

Great for Rachel Leahcar, it just annoys me though Australia is another country to get their The Voice tracks released to iTunes but we don't.
Amazing for Delta too of course, not that I ever doubted her

Wow. Surprising that One Direction have 2 songs in the top 10! 
One Thing could be actually a good single choice after all for the US if it got as high as #3 in Australia.

Is Delta going to get her arse back and promote in the UK after her Voice commitments or is she still going to waste time promoting in L.A to no avail?

Olly Murs has arrived in Australia! Hopefully the "supporting 1D in the US" tag will build some hype and get him some airplay for the single (Heart skips a beat) AND the album does well.
