Gavin Ryan's Chart Commentary

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Train hold at the No.1 station for a third week with their "Hey, Soul

Sister" (DL: 1 hold, Phys: 6 to 1) track, with the entire top three all

holding steady this week. Jason DeRulo holds his No.2 position with "In My

Head" (DL: 2 hold) helped by him being in the country the past week, and

someone who is also still in the country is Lady GaGa who holds at No.3 for

a second week with "Telephone" (DL: 3 to 4).

 

Blasting into the chart at No.4 is the highest new entry of the week, "I

Made it" (DL: 3 debut) by Kevin Rudolf feat Jay Sean, Lil' Wayne and

Birdman. It becomes his third ARIA Chart entry behind "Let it Rock" (HP-3,

Jan 2009) and "Welcome to the World" (HP-42, April 2009). The track "I Made

it" is the official theme for 'Wrestlemania XXVI (26)', which has been

playing on Pay-TV of recent, and is due for release on DVD in May. And with

Kevin debuting in the Top 5, it gives him his second such entry.

 

With "I Made it" debuting so high, it pushes other tracks down the

charts, with Rihanna's "Rude Boy" (DL: 4 to 5) dropping down to No.5, and

David Guetta and Akon's "Memories" (DL: 5 to 6) also down a single place to

No.6. The other drops inside the Top 10 are from Cheryl Cole and her track

"3 Words" (DL: 6 to 7) which is down two places to No.8, and one of last

weeks entries to the top ten was The Black Eyed Peas and "Imma Be" (DL: 7 to

8), which this week falls back three places to No.10.

 

Climbing up one place to No.9 is Timbaland and Katy Perry on "If We Ever

Meet Again" (DL: 9 hold), but jumping into the Top 10 at No.7 (and up ten

places) is "I Like That" (DL: 23 to 14) by Richard Vission. This could have

jumped for several reasons; one that is used as the music for the

'Australia's Got Talent' advertisement where the hosts are dancing in a lift

to this song, and it was also used to great effect two weeks ago on 'So You

Think You Can Dance'. It's also a return (of sorts) to the Top 10 for

Richard "Humpty" Vission who was one member of the group The Movement, who

hit No.7 in February pf 1993 with their track "Jump", and it's also a return

to the charts for featured vocalist on the track Luciana, who was one member

of the group Crush, who hit No.32 in 1997 with their track "Jellyhead".

 

NEW PEAKS: Justin Bieber scores two new peaks this week, his highest though

is "Baby" (DL: 16 to 10) which is up a couple of places and knocking on the

Top 10 at No.11, plus his teaming with Sean Kingston on his new track "Eenie

Meenie" (DL: 48 to 29) sees it jump up nineteen places to No.30 this week.

Further Top 20 peaks include B.o.B. and his track "Nothin' on You" (DL: 24

to 12) which is up eleven places to No.14. Adam Lambert is up four places to

No.16 with "Whataya Want From Me" (DL: 17 to 16), Florence + The Machine

leap twelve places to No.17 with "You've Got the Love" (DL: 29 to 17)

(another SYTYCD and ad driven song {master-chef are using it}), and right

behind those two at No.18 is Alicia Keys and Beyonce's "Put it in a Love

Song" (DL: 21 to 18), up five places this week.

 

With Miley Cyrus' new movie "The Last Song" opening this past weekend,

expect the ten places rise to No.28 this week from "When I Look at You" (DL:

38 to 27) to be moreso next week. Chiddy Bang just debuted outside the Top

50 last week, but this week breaks into it by leaping fourteen places to

No.36 with his track "Opposite of Adults" (DL: 37 debut), also climbing

fourteen places if Rob Thomas and his latest track called "Mockingbird", in

at No.50.

 

The John Butler Trio have scored their third No.1 album this week, and

the two singles from the album all do impressive things this week. The

second single "Close to You" debuts at No.38, becoming his tenth ARIA

charting single. Plus his ninth, "One Way Road" (HP-15, Dec 2009, Phys: 11

to 9) leaps back into the Top 50 this week, up thirteen places to No.40.

Also jumping back into the Top 50 is Newton Faulkner and his track "If This

is it", which is up forty-eight places to No.44 on the back of his current

national tour.

 

Lady GaGa's track "Poker Face" re-entered the Top 50 last week, but

sadly drops back down to No.51 this week. But replacing it is her newest

track "Alejandro", which becomes her thirteenth ARIA singles entry (all from

the one album btw, some were only downloads that charted and not official

singles). The very 90's Ace of Base sounding song debuts first week in the

Top 100 at No.49.

 

Below Top 50:

 

NEW PEAKS below the Top 50 come from The Temper Trap and their third single

"Love Lost" up a couple of places to No.54. Guy Sebastian jumps up fifteen

places to No.56 with "All to Myself", and Justin Bieber finally leaves the

lower part of the charts with his track "One Less Lonely Girl", which this

week is up eleven places to a new peak of No.82.

 

Last week on the albums chart, Goldfrapp debuted with their latest album

"Head First" (No.26 this week), and the lead single from the album is

"Rocket" which debuts at No.55 this week. It's their fourth ARIA Singles

chart appearance.

 

Vanessa Amorosi debuts at No.65 with the third single from her latest

album "Hazardous" (No.59 this week), the new track entitled "Mr.

Mysterious". And another act with a third single from their latest album is

La Roux (No.73 this week), who enter at No.79 with "I'm Not Your Toy".

 

Lastly there is a debut at No.81 for an eleven year old track making its

first appearance on the charts, due to a spell-binding performance on 'So

You Think You Can Dance' two weeks ago. "Colorblind" by Counting Crows was

from their 1999 album "This Desert Life", and also was featured on the

"Cruel Intentions" soundtrack, and this week makes it's entry to the ARIA

Singles Chart at No.81

 

John Butler Trio take their fifth album "April Uprising" all the way to

the top of the ARIA Albums Chart this week, their third successive No.1

album and No.1 entry. 15-Mar-2004 saw "Sunrise Over Sea" debut and stay at

the top for two weeks, later regaining the top spot for a third week in July

of that year. This very week (2-Apr-2007) three years ago we saw "Grand

National" debut at the top spending on the one week on top, but doing so

over John's birthday weekend (as this past weekend is too, happy 35th John).

 

"April Uprising" is the first ever album with the word 'April' in its

title, thus making it more special that it debuts at the top in the month of

its name. In fact there has only been ONE other album that had the name of a

month in its title, and that too sat at the top during it's namesake month,

"Hot August Night", which in its 29 weeks at No.1 managed to spend all of

August 1973 (plus September, October and November also) at the top of the

Australian album charts.

 

John's third No.1 becomes the 610th No.1 album in Australia (1965-2010),

and is the first time since April 2008 that an Australian act has debuted to

knock-off another local performer (he knock Angus and Julia Stone off). The

last such feat was between The Presets and Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson

(21 & 28 April, 2008), and "April Uprising" is the 144th Australian

performed No.1 album.

 

There is very little movement within the Top 10 albums this week, with

Lady GaGa's "TheFame Monster" holding onto the No.2 spot for a third week,

with last weeks chart-topper "Down the Way" by Angus & Julia Stone falling

down to No.3. The only non-debut entry to the Top 10 comes from Florence +

The Machine who are up six places with their album "Lungs", whilst the album

was last in the Top 10 a month ago where it peaked at No.8.

 

Train and their album "Save Me, San Francisco" is up to a new peak of

No.21, and leaping up ten places to No.30 is "Evermore" by Evermore, their

greatest hits collection. Newton Faulkner is currently touring around the

country, and his 2009 album "Rebuilt by Humans" re-enters the Top 100 at

No.39, whilst his debut album "Hand Built by Robots" is back in at No.87.

Also coming back into the Top 50 is Miley Cyrus and her album "The Time of

Our Lives", helped by it's new single from her latest film "The Last Song".
