Gavin Ryan Chart Commentary

(thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Flying at the top of the ARIA Singles chart for a fifth week are Owl

City and their newly certified double platinum selling track "Fireflies"

(DL: 1 hold), plus their album "Ocean Eyes" zooms up ten places to a new

peak of No.15 this week.

 

For four of the past five weeks of Owl Cities reign, they have been

accompanied at No.2 by Ke$ha and her former No.1 track "Tik Tok" (DL: 3

hold, Phys: 4 to 3), which this week falls to No.3 to sit back to back with

her latest single "Blah Blah Blah" (DL: 4 to 6) at No.4 (for a second week).

Meaning that there is a new No.2 single, and climbing one place to achieve

that is Iyaz and his track "Replay" (DL: 2 hold).

 

On Australia Day (last Tuesday), ABC Radio station Triple J played their

annual Hottest 100 countdown, and as usual some of the songs that appeared

on their countdown have made jumps up the ARIA charts this week, most

notably is their No.1 voted song "Little Lion Man" (DL: 16 to 4) by Mumford

& Sons, which last week spent it's 16th week in the charts at No.16, this

week leaps eleven places to a new peak of No.5. No.2 on their list was

"Parlez Vous Francais?" by local act Art vs. Science, which can be found on

their self-titled EP (Phys: 10 to 6), which this week jumps up forty-three

places to a new peak of No.36 (and first time in the Top 50). No.3 on the

Triple J was 2009 ARIA Award winning act The Hilltop Hoods and their single

"Chase That Feeling", which leaps back into the Top 50 at No.49 this week.

BlueJuice were at No.5 on that list with "Broken Leg" (DL: 34) which is up

fourteen places to No.32 (also helped by the Big Day Out performances).

Other tracks within their Top 20 that climb this week are "Undisclosed

Desires" (DL: 23 to 12) (J#19, 25 to 13 on ARIA), "Home" by Edward Sharpe &

The Magnetic Zeroes (J#15, 64 to 48 on ARIA), "Bonkers" by Dizzee Rascal

(J#12, 76 to 43 on ARIA), "Uprising" (DL: 31) by Muse (J#9, 60 to 31 on

ARIA) "Not Fair" by Lily Allen (J#8, up to 78 on ARIA), "Coin Laundry" by

Lisa Mitchell (J#&, Re-Entry at 74 on ARIA) and "Bulletproof" (DL: 33 hold)

by La Roux was No.6 on Triple J's countdown, and climbs back up few places

to No.33 on the ARIA Charts.

 

NEW PEAKS: Jay Sean looks set to score a second Top 10 single next week, as

his latest track "Do You Remember" (DL: 18 to 13) is up six places to No.12

this week, and right behind him is the aforementioned Muse and their highest

ever placed single in Australia, "Undisclosed Desires" (DL: 23 to 12) which

leaps up twelve places to No.13 no doubt helped by them being the headline

act at this years Big Day Out Festivals around the country. David Guetta and

Akon take their "Memories" (DL:17 to 14) up to a new peak of No.14.

 

Timbaland climbs a single place to No.27 to gain a new peak for his

track "Morning After Dark" (DL: 28 to 26). Selena Gomez & The Scene take

their track "Naturally" (DL: 40 debut) into the Top 50 this week by jumping

up thirty-six places to No.46.

 

BIG DAY OUT: As I mentioned Muse have two big singles moving up the charts

this week, but other BDO acts who benefit this week are BlueJuice, Art vs

Science and Dizzee Rascal who has two singles re-enter the Top 50 this week,

with "Bonkers" back up thirty-three places to No.43. He also scores the

biggest climbing single within the Top 100 as "Holiday" jumps back up

forty-six places to No.50. Dizzee was joined by Calvin Harris on some of his

show, Calvin also playing sideshows by himself, and this week he scores the

highest new entry to the Top 100, coming in at No.40 with his latest track

"Flashback" (DL: 36 debut). This becomes Calvin's second highest charting

solo single on the ARIA Charts, having hit No.33 in August 2007 with "The

Girls".

 

The other Top 50 debut this week comes from Rihanna and her official

second single from her "Rated R" (No.40 this week) album entitled "Rude Boy"

(DL: 39 debut), which lands at No.45. Although the track "Hard" hit No.51

two weeks ago and is at No.72 this week, this latest track is the official

second single, and joins "Russian Roulette" on the charts, which is down to

No.41 this week. Another track has also charted from the album, entitled

"Wait Your Turn" which hit No.82 for a week in early December 2009.

 

BELOW Top 50:

 

New peaking tracks below the Top 50 this week are Cascada's "Fever"

(#54), Kid Cudi and MGMT on "Pursuit of Happiness" (up 33 places to No.56),

Mumford & Sons' second single "The Cave" (up 29 places to No.62), the group

Amy Meredith and their track "Pornstar" (#65), John Mayer with "Heartbreak

Warfare" (#66) and lastly up to a new peak of No.85 is The Hilltop Hoods'

first single "The Nosebleed Section".

 

Local group Passion Pit score their first ARIA Top 100 Singles entry by

debuting at No.52 with "Little Secrets", taken from their former No.19 album

"Manners", which leaps back up the album charts nineteen places to No.39.

 

The song "You've Got the Love" by Florence + The Machine enters at

No.94, giving them their second ARIA Singles Chart entry. Their first single

"Dog Days" hit No.83 last March, and re-enters at No.96 this week, no doubt

helped by their current tour here. And entering right behind them at No.95

is Alvin & The Chipmunks and their version of the Dead or Alive1985 single

"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)".

 

Lastly, special mention must go to Lady GaGa's first single "Just

Dance", which is spending it's 75th week in the Top 100, putting in third

place for the 'Longest Running Single on the ARIA Top 100". It's just behind

"My People" by The Presents (76 weeks) and "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake

(79 weeks). "Poker Face" has also racked up it's 71st week on the charts,

placing it sixth overall, right behind two 72 weekers, "Low" by Flo Rida and

"Straight Lines" by Silverchair.

 

Susan Boyle stays atop the ARIA Albums chart for a tenth consecutive

week, something which an album has done since the "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack

spent eleven straight weeks at the No.1 spot back between late May and early

August in 2001. Whilst many albums have spent more overall time at the top,

staying put week after week is something of a rarity, so if she ties next

week, I'll have a look back further for the last long-running No.1 stayer.

 

With Mumford & Sons winning the No.1 spot on the Triple J Hottest 100

countdown with the song "Little Lion Man", plus also placing at No.81 with

"The Cave", their parent album "Sigh No More" had been sitting at No.7 for

the past couple of weeks, this week it jumps up five places to a new peak of

No.2. With the band in the country this week at the Laneway Festival and at

the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney, it could push its way even higher next

week.

 

Michael Buble holds at No.3 with his "Crazy Love" album, Lady GaGa

climbs back up two places to No.4 with "The Fame Monster" set, pushing

Ke$ha's "Animal" down a place to No.5. Last week's highest new entry from

The McClymonts, "Wrapped Up Good" is down to No.6, and three weeks ago

Vampire Weekend was the No.2 entry with "Contra", which this week is down

two places to No.7. With Muse scoring two big jumping singles helped by

Triple J placings, but more so due to their Big Day Out headlining, their

former No.1 album "The Resistance" jumps back into the Top 10 at No.8.

Another BDO act that re-enters the Top 10 is Lily Allen and her album "It's

Not Me, it's You", back at No.10.

 

Own City jump up ten places to No.15 with their album "Ocean Eyes",

followed at No.16 by "Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel", up six places

this week. Florence + The Machine played Sydney late last week, and are a

part of the Laneway Festival which is touring the country this week. Their

album "Lungs" recently went back to No.1 in the UK, and this week it's up

twenty-nine places to No.19, three places lower than its original peak.

 

Kasabian are up eighteen places to No.23 with "West Ryder Pauper Lunatic

Asylum", Lisa Mitchell is up eleven places to No.35 with "Wonder", Passion

Pit are up nineteen places with their "Manners" album to No.39, and up a

massive thirty-five places to No.46 is Calvin Harris' album "Ready for the

Weekend", helped by his BoilerRoom appearances at the Big Day Out.

 

The Eels score the highest new entry of the week at No.49 with their

eighth album "End Times". It's their sixth Top 50 entry, having last charted

in June 2009 reaching No.35 with their seventh album "Hombre Lobo", their

highest charting so far. The other Top 50 entry comes in at No.50, Motion

City Soundtrack with their fourth album "My Dinosaur Life", becoming their

first Top 50 entry, beating the No.52 peak of their 2007 album "Even if it

Kills Me".
