Gavin Ryan's Chart Commentary

 

Landing the No.1 single for an eighth week is Ke$ha and her track "Tik

Tok" (DL: 1 to 2, Phys: 4 to 3), which also makes the move to No.1 in the US

this week, meaning both countries will have this song as their final No.1 of

the year and the decade. "Tik Tok" also becomes the longest running No.1 for

the year, beating "Right Round", "I Gotta Feeling" and "Sexy Bitch" which

all stayed atop for seven weeks each. And although the song is no longer

No.1 on either the digital or physical charts, it stays at No.1 as it has

more overall sales than the other No.1's on either the DL or Phys charts.

 

The new No.1 on the digital charts is the new No.2 single this week, Owl

City and their track "Fireflies" (DL: 2 to 1), which is up two places this

week. It swaps places with Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" (DL: 3 hold, Phys: 5 to

6), down two places to No.4, both songs leaping over the stable Stan Walker

and his track "Black Box" (DL: 7 to 6, Phys: 2 to 1) at No.3, which is

spending it's fifth week inside the Top 3. Also holding steady this week is

Jay-Z and his latest track "Empire State of Mind" (DL: 4 hold), which stays

put at No.5.

 

After two weeks at No.7 Jason DeRulo moves up one spot to a new peak of

No.6 with his track "Whatcha Say" (DL: 5 hold), which pushes Jay Sean's

track "Down" (DL: 6 to 7) a single place down, the same pace it's been

dropping for the past six weeks. "Starstrukk" (DL: 8 hold) by 3OH!3 and Katy

Perry and "Art of Love" (DL: 9 hold, Phys: 8 hold) by Guy Sebastian and

Jordin Sparks both climb back up a single place each to No.8 and No.9

respectively, and after a single week out of the Top 10, "Meet Me Halfway"

(DL: 11 to 10, Phys: 10 to 9) is back up two places to No.10.

 

NEW PEAKS: Pitbull looks to be headed for his second Top 10 single, as

"Hotel Room Service" (DL: 11 to 12, Phys: 38 to 36) is up three places to

No.11 this week. Michael Buble scores his highest charting single here in

Australia as "Haven't Met You Yet" (DL: 14 to 12) climbs three places to

No.13, beating the No.15 peak of May 2004 single "Sway". Lady GaGa and

Beyonce take their "Telephone" up four places to a new peak of No.24 (DL: 25

to 22). Timbaland is up eight places to a new peak of No.35 with his new

track "Morning After Dark" (DL: 39 to 32), and Muse score a second Top 50

single from their former No.1 album "The Resistance" as "Undisclosed

Desires" is up seven places to No.47.

 

Two weeks ago, British Virgin Islands native Keidran Jones hit No.1 in

the US, and this week he debuts at No.15. He is better known as Iyaz, and

the track "Replay" (DL: 13 debut) has also hit the Top 10 in Canada and New

Zealand, and his debut album "My Life" is due for release in early 2010.

Iyaz was born into a musical family in Tortola on the islands, and found

radio success in the Caribbean before being contact by Sean Kingston via

MySpace and later signed a recording contract with Sean's Time is Money

record label.

 

The Black Eyed Peas could create history this year by scoring the top

two songs of the year, so we'll have to check out next weeks End of Year

charts, but in the meantime they debut at No.31 with the fourth official

single from this weeks No.3 album "The E.N.D.", entitled "Rock That Body"

(DL: 27 debut), it charts on downloads alone, with the physical single due

for release in mid January. They currently have four singles within the Top

40, as "Boom Boom Pow" (DL: 44 to 39) climbs back up three places to No.39,

whilst their two other charting singles are "I Gotta Feeling" (DL: 20 to 19)

at No.22 and "Meet Me Halfway" (DL: 11 to 10), which climbs back into the

Top 10.

 

Ten weeks ago, Powderfinger returned to the charts with "All of the

Dreamers", the first taste of their new album "Golden Rule", which six weeks

ago landed at No.1 (No.10 this week). The second single from that album is

entitled "Burn Your Name", and debuts at No.46 this week on downloads.

 

Below Top 50:

 

New peaks under the Top 50 come from Creed with their track "Rain" which

is up eight places to No.52. Nickelback climb seventeen places to No.64 with

their latest single "Never Gonna be Alone" and the album version of

Beyonce's "Video Phone" is up to a new peak of No.84, one place lower than

the remix featuring Lady GaGa (#83) this week.

 

Band Aid II from 1990 re-enter at No.53 with their version of "Do They

Know its Christmas". The track did re-enter the charts this time last year

reaching No.73. The two other new entries of the week are a No.63 debut for

David Guetta feat Kid Cudi on the track "Memories", and the lead single from

Alicia Keys' new album debuts at No.96, entitled "Doesn't Mean Anything",

which becomes the last new entry for the decade.

 

Susan Boyle stays on top of the album charts for a fifth week with her

album "I Dreamed a Dream", and breaks two ARIA sales records too. The album

was 6xPlatinum last week, but this week racks up 8xPlatinum, having sold

over 165,000 units this past week, so it sets the record for having two

weeks of sales over 100,000 albums, something which hasn't happened since

ARIA started doing scanned sales in 1997. The other record her album breaks

is that of most units sold in a single week for an album. Guy Sebastian sold

163,700 units of his debut album "Just As I Am" in December 2003, and now

Susan Boyle beats that record by selling over 165,000.

 

Michael Buble scores a new peak for the single "Haven't Met You Yet"

from the album "Crazy Love" which sits at No.2 for a fifth week, but the

album did sell over 70,000 units this week, so any other normal week it

would have been a No.1. "The E.N.D." by The Black Eyed Peas and Stan

Walker's "Introducing" swap places at No.3 and No.4 respectively, whilst

Lady GaGa scores a new peak of No.5 with "The Fame Monster" album.

 

The Foo Fighters move down one place to No.6 with their "Greatest Hits"

collection, and February tourist Taylor Swift is stable at No.7 with her

"Fearless" album. Also holding steady this week are Robbie Williams with

"Reality Killed the Video Star" at No.9 and Powderfinger's "Golden Rule" at

No.10. The only re-entry to the Top 10 is P!nk's "Funhouse" which climbs

back up three places to No.8.

 

Lily Allen's newly repackaged album "It's Not Me, It's You" is back up

five places to No.15 this week, and claiming a new peak of No.17 (up from

No.25) is The Twelfth Man and his "The Box Set". Ronan Keating's collection

of Christmas songs "Stay" is up nine places to No.27, and classical

performer Katherine Jenkins takes her latest album "Believe" up nine places

to a new peak of No.35.

 

The only major entry is a repackaging of Eminem's "Relapse" album

re-titled "Relapse: Refill" at No.56, which contains his next single "Hell

Breaks Loose" and six other new tracks.
