Gavin Ryan Chart Commentary

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

Train spend their fourth week at the No.1 station with their track “Hey, Soul Sister” (DL:1 hold, Phys: 1 to 4), and they are spending their third week at No.1 on the airplay chart, but drop down from the top physical selling song. For all of their weeks at the top, Train have kept Jason DeRulo’s former chart-topper “In My Head” (DL: 2 hold) at No.2, which is where it stays this week, but leaping up to No.3 is Richard Vission and his dance track “I Like That” (DL: 14 to 3), which leapt into the Top 10 last week to No.7.

With Richard Vission leaping, it pushes down the three-week-running-No.3 single “Telephone” (DL: 4 hold) by Lady GaGa which is down a single place to No.4, it also pushes last weeks big debut by Kevin Rudolf and “I Made it” (DL: 3 to 10) down three places to No.7, and also pushes former chart-topper “Rude Boy” (DL: 5 to 9) by Rihanna down from 5 to No.10. The rest of the top ten is made up of rising tracks, with David Guetta and Akon’s “Memories” (DL: 6 to 5) rising back up one place to No.5, and right behind them at No.6 (up from 11) is Justin Bieber who makes his Top 10 debut with “Baby” (DL: 10 to 8). We also welcome two other acts who all are scoring their first Top 10 entries this week, with B.o.B. feat Bruno Mars and their track “Nothin’ on You” (DL: 12 to 6) climbing six places to land at No.8, and climbing nine places to No.9 is Florence + The Machine with their cover of the dance track “You’ve Got the Love” (DL: 17 to 7).

NEW PEAKS: Adam Lambert is poised to land in the Top 10 next week, as his first ARIA Chart entry “Whataya Want from Me” (DL: 16 to 12) jumps five places to No.11. Miley Cyrus is up nine places to a new peak of No.19 with her track “When I Look at You” (DL: 27 to 21), no doubt helped by her new film opening nationwide during the Easter school holidays. Lady GaGa claims the biggest leap within the Top 50 with a twenty-one place jump from last weeks debut of No.49 to No.28 this week for her newbie “Alejandro” (DL: 28 debut). The biggest leap in the entire Top 100 goes to The Temper Trap and their third single from the “Conditions” (No.18 this week) album “Love Lost”, which jumps up twenty-two places from No.54 to No.32. The only other new entry to the Top 50 is also a third single from a current album, that being from Vanessa Amorosi and “Mr. Mysterious”, which is up fifteen places to No.50.

‘Oh My God’ is a term used a lot on game-shows by prize winners, and is abbreviated to OMG for text messages, and this week it is the highest new entry at No.15 on the ARIA Singles Chart for Usher feat Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am as guest vocalist. It’s the first single off Usher Raymond IV’s fifth album “Raymond V Raymond” which also debuts this week, landing at No.7 on the ARIA Album Charts. “OMG” (DL: 34 to 16) becomes Usher’s 20th ARIA Singles Chart entry, and his first since September 2008 when he hit No.91 with “What’s Your Name”, also a teaming with Will.i.am. The song debuted at No.14 in the US, and last week it entered at No.13 in the UK climbing into the Top 10 this week, whilst in it’s third week it is up to No.18 in New Zealand.

Below Top 50: Guy Sebastian could possibly score a third Top 50 entry next week from his current album, as his latest track “All to Myself” climbs five places to a new peak of No.51. The only other new peak in the lower parts of the ARIA Singles Chart comes from T-Pain who jumps twenty-one places from No.92 to No.71 with “Take Your Shirt Off”. But T-Pain also debuts with another new track at No.79 called “Reverse Cowgirl” featuring guest vocalist Young Jeezy. Both tracks are featured on his May due fourth album “rEVOLVEr”.

With Justin Bieber scoring his first Top 10 single, he also scores his sixth and seventh chart entry this week, as he lands two new singles debuting inside the Top 100, to give him six singles inside the chart this week, as “Love Me” drops out after two weeks at No.100 (BTW, this has only happened twice before that a song’s peak is No.100 for two weeks, the others were “I Want Tomorrow” by Enya {Sep 1992} and Margaret Urlich with “All My Myself” {Nov 1994}). Justin enters at No.67 with “Never Let You Go”, taken from his “My World 2.9” album (No.94 this week), and also from that album, but only as an iTunes download exclusive, and debuting at No.96 is “Kiss and Tell”.

The last new entry of the week is the 26th entry for Robbie Williams, coming in at No.98 is “Do You Mind?” Sounding like a Pat Benatar track, this is the third single from his “Reality Killed the Video Star” album, which also spawned “Bodies” (No.4, Oct 2009) and “You Know Me” (No.33, Dec 2009).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The Fame Monster” by Lady GaGa finally hits the top of the ARIA Albums Chart this week, after staying at No.2 for the past three weeks during which she was in the country touring. The original “The Fame” album originally debut back in September of 2008, so overall the album has taken around a year-and-a-half to climb to the top.

“The Fame Monster” becomes the 611th No.1 album in Australia (1965-2010), and the first by an American Female artist since P!nk’s “Funhouse” (Nov-Dec 2008), making it the first US Female performer this decade to score a No.1 album. This new chart-topper becomes the 220th by an American Performer to reach No.1, and Lady GaGa is the 28th American Female performer to score a number one album here. There have been no previous ‘Fame’ titled No.1 albums, but there has been one ‘Monster’ previously, that being David Bowie’s “Scary Monsters” album from October 1980.

With Lady GaGa at the top, it swaps places with last weeks No.1 album for The John Butler Trio, “April Uprising”. Four of the top five albums are all by former chart-toppers, with “Down the Way” by Angus and Julia Stone dropping a single place to No.4, and also down one spot to No.5 are Mumford & Sons’ “Sigh No More”. Jason DeRulo is down to No.6, and Susan Boyle drops to No.9 with her album “I Dreamed a Dream”, which could rise again in a couple of weeks with her upcoming tour and repackaged album. “Lungs” by Florence + The Machine re-peaks at No.8, and re-entering the Top 10 at No.10 is “Fearless” by Taylor Swift.

Two new entries debut within the Top 10 this week, with the highest coming in at No.3 with the self-titled album from former Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash. This is his first solo effort but he did appear on five G’N R studio albums and two Velvet Revolver sets, so he is at least no stranger to the charts. In fact in February of 1995 he did also chart as lead-guitarist in his then side-project called Slash’s Snakepit, who scored a No.26 album entitled “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere”, and they released a second album in 2000 called “Ain’t Life Grand” (No.56, Nov 2000). Lead tracks from this new album include “Sahara” and “By the Sword” (which features guest vocals by Wolfmother single Andrew Stockdale).

Usher’s fifth studio album entitled “Raymond V Raymond” debuts at No.7, instantly becoming his fourth Top 10 album here in Australia. Lead single from the album “OMG” debuts at No.15 this week, and also features the track “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)” and “Lil Freak”. Usher’s best chart performance so far was the No.1 entry of his June 2008 album “Here I Stand”, whilst his overall best charting album was his 2004 album “Confessions” which debuted and peaked at No.2 for two weeks, spending 74 weeks in the Top 100.

David Campbell’s fourth set of covers entitled “On Broadway” debuts at No.17, this time as the title suggest, an album of Broadway inspired tracks from such musicals as The Boy From Oz, Oklahoma!, Hello Dolly!, Les Miserables, Chicago, Carousel and Guys and Dolls. Like his previous three albums, they all shot up the charts in the following weeks after release, and as this one is a close release to Mothers Day (May 9th this year), it will most likely rise higher than its entry position. His first “Swing Sessions” album (Nov 2006) peaked at No.7, and the second “Swing Sessions 2” peaked at No.8 (Nov 2007), whilst “Good Lovin” made it to No.10 in January of 2009 after debuting on the charts in Nov 2008.

Country musician Alan Jackson debuts at No.25 with his fourteenth studio album “Freight Train”, now his third highest charting album in Australia. His last album in March 2008 “Good Time” was his highest placed, landing at No.21, whilst his 2003 “Greatest Hits Volume 2” landed just one place higher than his debut this week, making it No.24. This is Alan’s eighth Top 50 entry on the ARIA Albums chart, two of those being greatest hits collections.

“The Essential Michael Jackson” collection jumps back up the album charts eighteen places this week to No.32, and also up eighteen places Bob Dylan’s “The Essential Bob Dylan” to No.42. With the release of “Glee-Season 1: The Road to Sectionals” released on DVD this past week, the two cast recording albums turn-around and go back up the charts. Volume 1 is up twenty-three places to No.56, and Volume 2 is fifteen places to No.55.

Other new albums entering this week come from The Dillinger Escape Plan who enter at No.53 with their fourth album “Option Paralysis”. One-half of Sigur Rós, Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson, better known by his stage-name Jonsi enters at No.75 with his second solo album entitled “Go”. At No.77 is the fourth album for Brooklyn based group Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings entitled “I Learned the Hard Way”.
