Gavin Ryan's Chart Commentary

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Owl City and their track “Fireflies” (DL: 1 hold) stays atop the ARIA

Singles Chart for a fourth week, and keep Ke$ha at No.2 also for a fourth

week with “Tik Tok” (DL: 2 to 3, Phys: 3 to 4). In fact those are only

two of the three stable tracks in this weeks Top 10 singles. Owl City also

claim the No.1 airplay single for the first time this week.

 

Iyaz and his track “Replay” (DL: 4 to 2) move up three places to No.3

this week, putting him in earshot of the top position. Last weeks highest

new entry by Ke$ha, “Blah, Blah, Blah” (DL: 5 to 4) gives her two singles

inside the Top 4 this week as she jumps up three places from No.7 to No.4.

After several weeks again at No.3 and Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance” (DL: 7

to 9, Phys: 8 to 9) falls back down to No.5, pushing down Jason DeRulo’s

“Whatcha Say” (DL: 5 hold) down a place to No.6, which in turn also

pushes down Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” (DL: 3 to 6) to No.7.

 

The Black Eyed Peas were without a Top 10 single last week, but that is

fixed this week by jumping four places up the chart to No.8 with “Rock

That Body” (DL: 12 to 7), their fourth single from “The E.N.D.”. This

now matches the feat achieved by their previous two albums, which also

produced four Top 10 singles apiece, but this latest album is the only one

to score three No.1 singles, the other two only managed two No.1’s each.

Michael Buble stays put at No.9 with his first Top 10 single Haven’t Met

You Yet” (DL: 8 hold), and Stan Walker holds on for a ninth week inside

the Top Ten at No.10 with “Black Box” (DL: 9 to 10, Phys: 2 hold).

 

NEW PEAKS: Lady GaGa and Beyonce’s “Telephone” (DL: 13 to 11) is up a

couple of places to a new peak of No.13, and breaking into the Top 20 is

David Guetta and Kid Cudi and their teaming on “Memories” (DL: 24 to 17),

up seven places to No.17, and right behind them is Jay Sean and Sean Paul

feat Lil’ Jon on “Do You Remember?” (DL: 25 to 18) which is up eleven

places to No.18 giving Jay Sean two singles inside the Top 20, as “Down”

(DL: 10 to 12) falls two places to No.12 this week (it’s first time out of

the Top 10 in thirteen weeks of charting).

 

Big Day Out headliners Muse jump up nine places to No.25 with

“Undisclosed Desires” (DL: 30 to 23), and also climb twenty-one places

with “Uprising”, up to No.60 this week. LMFAO is up to a new peak of

No.27 with “I’m in Miami Bitch” (DL: 26 to 27), Timbaland and Nelly

Furtado are up eight places to No.28 with “Morning After Dark” (DL: 32 to

28), and up twenty-six massive places to No.29 is Vanessa Amorosi and the

lead track from her current album “Hazardous” (Phys: 49 to 5).

 

Justin Bieber debuts at No.79 with his album “My World”, and the

first single from the album “One Time” (DL: 34 to 30) is up to a new peak

of No.30. Sia’s track “You’ve Changed” (DL: 38 to 29) is up eleven

places to No.31. Up seventeen places to No.35 (and breaking into the Top

50) is Richard Vission and his dance track “I Like That” (DL: 35 debut),

and the current No.1 physical single “Broken” by Sam Clark is up eleven

places to No.39 (Phys: 1 hold), breaking him into the Top 40 this week.

 

BELOW Top 50:

 

Four new peaking tracks below the Top 50 this week, with Cascada

scoring the biggest climbing single of the week, they’re up thirty-four

places to No.56 with their latest single “Fever”. Edward Sharpe and The

Magnetic Zeros’ whistling track “Home” is up thirteen places to No.64,

local act Amy Meredith climb to a new peak of No.67, and John Mayer’s

latest single “Heartbreak Warfare” climbs nine places to No.69.

 

Dutch DJ Chuckie (born Clyde Sergio Narian in Suriname, South America)

has teamed up with LA duo LMFAO to remix their current No.27 as “Let the

Bass Kick in Miami”, which is the highest new entry at No.55 this week.

 

US Actress and singer Selena Gomez debuts at No.82 with her band

Selena Gomez ♥ the Scene and their track “Naturally”, a former No.36 US

single and No.27 Canadian hit. 17 year old Selena started working at the

age of 12 on ‘Barney & Friends’, and is currently starring in the Disney

TV series ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’.

 

Folk group Mumford and Sons are at No.16 for the sixteenth week in the

charts (and this is also it’s peak position) with their track “Little

Lion Man” (DL: 16 hold). They debut at No.91 with their second ARIA Chart

entry “The Cave”, taken from the current No.7 album “Sigh No More”.

 

Susan Boyle is spending at ninth week at the top, with boosted sales

this week helped possibly by her TV special about her journey from X-Factor

performer to worldwide selling sensation. This matches P!nk’s nine week

run between November and December 2008 with her album “Funhouse”. The

last consecutive run at the top was back in 2001 when the “Moulin Rouge”

Soundtrack spent eleven weeks at the top, so that’s Susan’s next target

for her unbroken run.

 

The McClymonts second album “Wrapped Up Good” debuts at No.2, far

surpassing the No.37 peak of their debut set “Chaos and Bright Lights”

(November 2007). The albums lead single “Kick it Up” peaked at No.71 in

October of 2009, and the title track will be the next single.

 

Michael Buble is at No.3 again with his “Crazy Love” album, and also

holding steady is Ke$ha and her album “Animal” at No.4, whilst last weeks

No.2 debut “Contra” from Vampire Weekend falls down to No.5. “The Fame

Monster” by Lady GaGa is down a place to No.6, Mumford and Sons hold

steady at No.7 with “Sigh No More”, The Black Eyed Peas are down two

places to No.8 with “The E.N.D.”, matching themselves at No.8 on both

chart. Taylor Swift is down a places to No.9 with “Fearless”, and

returning to the Top 10 after having debuted there ten weeks ago is the

self-titled album for Them Crooked Vultures.

 

The Big Day Out started on the Gold Coast last weekend, and is rolling

around the country over the next week also, and headliners Muse see their

former No.1 album “The Resistance” jump up ten places to No.15. Other

acts who benefit from this massive tour are Lily Allen’s “It’s Not Me,

it’s You” up to No.11, The Temper Trap and “Conditions” up to No.16,

Kasabian and their newly repackaged “West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum” up

twenty places to No.41. Passion Pit are up twenty-three places to No.58

with their album “Manners”, Ladyhawke’s self-titled album is up eighteen

places to No.65, and re-entering at No.81 is Calvin Harris and his album

“Ready for the Weekend”.

 

Up twenty-four places to No.25 is current No.1 singles holder Owl City

and their album “Ocean Eyes”. The “Alvin & The Chipmunks: The

Squeakquel” is up fourteen places to a new peak of No.22. Another

soundtrack enters the chart at No.29, that for the new Aussie film “Bran

Nue Day”, featuring performances by Jessica Mauboy, Dan Sultan, Missy

Higgins, Ernie Dingo and Rolf Harris.

 

Local country duo The Sunny Cowgirls take their fourth album “Summer”

into the charts and debut at No.33, becoming their highest placed album.

Their 2008 album “Dust Will Settle” peaked at No.37 in August of that

year. Their first album “Little Bit Rusty” debuted and peaked at No.80

(23-May-2005), and their second set “Long Five Days” spent two weeks in

the chart and peaked at No.93 (4-Sep-2006).

 

The seventh album from Austin, Texas indie rock group Spoon debuts at

No.47, entitled “Transference”. This becomes their first Top 50 entry,

having previously charted with the sixth album “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” in July

2007, which debuted and peaked at No.57, none of the previous albums having

charted here.

 

Current Australian Airplay Top 10:

6 Replay Iyaz

7 Undisclosed Desires Muse

8 TiK ToK Ke$ha

9 Ave Mary A Pink

10 Empire State Of Mind Jay-Z Feat Alicia Keys

 

flop for Vanessa, Hazardous is an incredibly weak follow up to This Is Who I Am though, in fact nothing else on that album would be a hit single :(

Well done again Ke$ha, another great week for her!
