Gavin Ryan Chart Commentary

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

It’s been three-and-a-half years since an Irish act has topped the ARIA

Singles Charts, and also that same amount of time since an Irish performer

has debuted at the top, as this week Brian McFadden takes his new single

“Just Say So” (DL:1 debut) featuring Kevin Rudolf, straight into the No.1

spot, becoming the 90th No.1 debut in Australian chart history. The last

Irish act who were at the top were U2 in November 2006 with “The Saints are

Coming” feat Green Day, and Brian became the 12th Irish act to top the

charts when he did so with his fiancée Delta Goodrem back in March of 2005

when they debuted at the top with “Almost Here”.

 

Brian was only the third Irish solo male act to top our charts, the

other two being Feargal Sharkey with “A Good Heart” (Feb 1986) and Richard

Harris with “MacArthur Park” (Aug 1968), but he is now the ONLY Irish Solo

Male performer to have scored two No.1’s in this country, plus he’s still

the only non-U2 Irish act to hit the top since B*Witched did so in November

of 1998 with “Rollercoaster”. “Just Say So” also becomes the 11th No.1 for

the Island Records group, with “The Saints Are Coming” being their last

chart-topper, and Brian is also the third Island based Male solo act to top

the charts (at their time of charting), with Robert Palmer (Addicted to

Love, June 1986) and Bryan Ferry (Let’s Stick Together, Nov 1976) being the

other two. It’s the 11th ‘Just’ title to clock the No.1 spot, with Lady

GaGa’s “Just Dance” being the last one in September of 2008, and the sixth

time for ‘Say’ at the top, with the Destiny’s Child track “Say My Name” the

last such say at No.1 in May 2000. With Kevin Rudolf attached as guest

vocalist to the track, it also becomes his first No.1 here in Australia, and

gives him two current songs in the Top 10, with the recent No.4 debut of “I

Made it” sitting at No.8 this week.

 

So after four weeks at the top of the charts, Train pull out of the

chart-pinnacle-station and drop down to No.2 with “Hey, Soul Sister” (DL: 1

to 2, Phys: 4 to 5), but stay at No.1 on the airplay chart, whilst Richard

Vission and Static Revenger hold at No.3 for a second week with “I Like

That” (DL: 3 to 4). Jason DeRulo debuts with a new track, but his former

No.1 “In My Head” (DL: 2 to 3) slips down to No.4 after four solid weeks at

No.2. The Top 10 has three new entries, two of which are back-to-back, with

last weeks No.11 “Whataya Want from Me” (DL: 12 to 6) by Adam Lambert

jumping up six places to land at No.5, and last week Lady GaGa jumped 21

places, but this week she and “Alejandro” (DL: 28 to 5) jump up twenty-two

places from No.28 to No.6 to give her a seventh Top 10 entry, whilst that

sixth one “Telephone” (DL: 4 to 14) drops down to No.12.

 

“Nothin’ on You” (DL: 6 to 7) by B.o.B. feat Bruno Mars is up one place

to a new peak of No.7, swapping places with Kevin Rudolf’s “I Made it” (DL:

10 to 12), down one spot to No.8. After leaping up to No.6 last week, Justin

Bieber and his “Baby” (DL: 8 hold) are down three places to No.9, and

scoring his eighth Top 10 single by moving up five places to No.10 is Usher

with “OMG” (DL:16 to 9, Phys: 48 debut) featuring Will.i.Am.

 

NEW PEAKS: With the Top 10 being flushed out this week there are no new

peaks until No.25, and climbing there from No.36 is Chiddy Bang and his

“Opposite of Adults” (DL: 35 to 23) track. Vanessa Amorosi appeared on the

new season (?) of ‘Hey Hey it’s Saturday’ performing her new single “Mr.

Mysterious” (DL: 49 to 34), which this week jumps up sixteen places to land

at No.36. And normally I’d leave this next one to the ‘below Top 50’

section, but it’s the only other new peak for the week, so I’ll throw it

into this section. T-Pain climbs eighteen places to No.53 with “Take Your

Shirt Off” which was used on SYTYCD this past week and helps it to a new

peak this week.

 

Jason DeRulo debuts at No.18 with the third single from his self-titled

album (No.7 this week) entitled “Ridin’ Solo” (DL:18 debut). First single

“Whatcha Say” (No.38 this week) peaked at No.5 and his second single “In My

Head” debuted at No.1 on 22-Feb-2010, and is at No.4 this week.

 

British singer, songwriter and producer Taio Cruz makes his ARIA Chart

debut by debuting at No.29 with his former US (March 2010) and UK (Sept

2009) No.1 single “Break Your Heart” (DL: 27 debut). This is the first

single from his forthcoming second album “Rokstarr”, and in the past he has

written and produced tracks for The Pussycat Dolls, Justin Timberlake,

Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole, Ke$ha and Sugababes, and future

versions of this song (April 30th release) will feature guest vocalist

Ludacris, who appears on the US edition of the track.

 

The fifth single from David Guetta’s “One Love” album (No.15 this week)

debuts at No.43, entitled “Gettin’ Over You” it features guest vocals from

Chris Willis, Fergie and LMFAO. This new version will appear on another

re-packaged edition of his album which is due for release next week. His

former No.3 single “Memories” (DL: 5 to 15) takes a big tumble this week,

down ten spots to No.15.

 

Back in early March, Operator Please climbed to No.58 with their new

single “Logic”, but this week it re-enters the Top 100 at No.47 to give it a

new peak ahead of their second album “Gloves” which is due for release next

week, plus its second single “Back and Forth” which is out this week.

 

Under Top 50: It’s a very Australian lower-half of the charts this week,

with four of the six lower new entries being by local talent. Firstly though

mention must go to Gyroscope’s “Some of the Places I Know”, which rebound

back up the charts thirty-five places to No.60 helped no doubt by their new

album entering so high. Jet debut at No.62 with their new track “Seventeen”,

taken from their “Shaka Rock” album (re-entry at No.97), they too also

appeared on the comeback Hey Hey this past week. Damien Leith takes out the

new No.1 on the physical singles chart with “Forgive Forget” (Phys: 3 to 1)

which this week enters the ARIA Top 100 Singles chart at No.65. Bertie

Blackman scores her third chart entry by debuting at No.92 with her new

track “Peek-A-Boo”, and creeping in at No.99 is Angus & Julia Stone with the

second single from their former No.1 album “Down the Way” (No.8 this week)

entitled “Big Jet Plane”.

 

Ludacris debuts at No.70 with “How Low” the lead single from his

forthcoming seventh album “Battle of the Sexes”. Its his nineteenth ARIA

Chart entry, and he’s currently in the Top 10 as guest vocalist on Justin

Bieber’s track “Baby”. The other new entry of the week is the lead single

from Jack Johnson’s forthcoming album “To the Sea”, the song is called “You

and Your Heart” and debuts at No.94 and its his sixth ARIA Singles Chart

entry, the last being February 2008’s “If I Had Eyes” (HP-53).

 

Albums

 

Lady GaGa scores a second week at No.1 with her “The Fame Monster” set

which was helped no doubt by the new single “Alejandro” racing into the Top

10 this week. John Butler Trio also hold steady at No.2 with their “April

Uprising” album, which debuted at No.36 in the US Charts this past week.

Debuting at No.3 is the fourth album by local Perth act Gyroscope entitled

“Cohesion”, becoming their second consecutive Top 10 album at same time. In

March 2008 they debuted at No.1 with their third album “Breed Obsession”,

and this new album has seen the single “Some of the Places I Know” peak at

No.32 (No.60 this week), whilst second single is scheduled to be “Baby, I’m

Gettin’ Better”.

 

Susan Boyle didn’t announce her cancelled tour until Friday of the past

week, so any sale surges would have been prior to the charts being compiled,

thus her album “I Dreamed a Dream” rose back up the charts five places to

No.4, but might only hang around the Top 10 due to Mothers Day (in

Australia) happening in four weeks time (May-9th). Slash falls two places to

No.5 with his self-titled album, and falling a single place each at No.6 and

No.7 are Mumford and Sons with “Sigh No More” and Jason DeRulo’s self-titled

album respectively. Angus and Julia Stone fall four places to No.8 with

their “Down the Way” album, and after re-peaking at No.8 last week, Florence

+ The Machine drop back to No.10 with their “Lungs” album.

 

MGMT took sixteen weeks within the Top 100 to reach No.9 with their

debut album “Oracular Spectacular” (HP-6, 20-Oct-08), but this week they

debut at No.9 with their third album “Congratulations”. Lead single “Flash

Delirium” is yet to make an impact on our charts, with second single

possibly being “Siberian Breaks”.

 

Laura Marling sees her “I Speak Because I Can” album climb back up the

charts eight places to No.16, and this past week Aussie icons Powderfinger

announced their splitting-up after doing a final tour of the country, which

helps their recent album “Golden Rule” rebound forty-four places to No.24

this week.

 

Former george lead-singer Katie Noonan debuts at No.21 with her third

solo album “Emperor’s Box”. Her first album “Skin” reached No.6 in 2007, her

second “Blackbird: The Music of Lennon & McCartney” peaked at No.43, plus of

course george had two Top 5 albums with “Polyserena” (No.1, March 2002) and

“Unity” (No.5, March 2004). Another former lead-singer making solo waves is

Cheryl Cole (she of Girls Aloud fame), who recently went Top 5 with the

single “3 Words”. The parent album of the same name debuts at No.31 this

week.

 

James Reyne debuts at No.32 with “TCB”, his eighth studio album, and

this one is an album full of Elvis Presley covers. Its also his first Top 50

entry since November 1994’s “Whiff of Bedlam” which reached No.20, although

his last ARIA Top 100 Album entry was March 2005’s “And the Horse Your Rode

in on” which peaked at No.86.

 

New York rock band Coheed and Cambria debut at No.38 with their fifth

album “Year of the Black Rainbow”. They first charted in Australia with

their fourth album “No World for Tomorrow” which debtued one place lower at

No.39 back in late October of 2007. Other new entries to the Top 100 this

week come from Boyzone with “Brother” at No.63, Sally Seltmann at No.73 with

“Heart That’s Pounding”, and Blake enter at No.96 with their new album

“Together”.

 

Go Brian!!! So happy he has made it to #1! "Just Say So" is currently my top song for the summer weather we're recently having and its going down a treat!
