April 18, 201015 yr Author 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”.
