Singles

 

Brian McFadden doubles his previous best No.1 effort by staying at the

top of the ARIA Singles Chart for a second week with "Just Say So" (DL: 1

hold), but he has some close up-and-coming competition from Lady GaGa and

her new fella "Alejandro" (DL: 5 to 2), which in four weeks has gone

49-28-6-2 to possibly become her third chart-topper, but this week it

becomes her third No.2 single, following on from "Paparazzi" and "Bad

Romance", whilst she maintains the No.1 album in the country for the third

week running.

 

Lady GaGa pushes Train down to No.3 with their former No.1 "Hey, Soul

Sister" (DL: 2 to 3) and after two weeks at No.3 Richard Vission drops down

two places to No.5 with "I Like That" (DL: 4 to 6), with another former No.1

in Jason DeRulo's "In My Head" (DL: 3 to 7) falling five places to No.9 and

Justin Bieber slip down one place to No.10 with "Baby" (DL: 8 to 9).

 

Adam Lambert moves up one place to reach a new peak of No.4 with his

track "Whataya Want From Me" (DL: 6 to 5). B.o.B. and Bruno Mars climb a

single place to a new peak of No.6 with "Nothin' on You" (DL: 7 to 4), and

also up a single chart-rung is Kevin Rudolf's "I Made it" (DL: 12 to 11),

back up to No.7. Lastly Usher and Will.i.am on "OMG" is up two places to

No.8 (DL: 9 to 8, Phys: 48 to 2).

 

NEW PEAKS: Vanessa Amorosi two weeks ago appeared on the new series of 'Hey

Hey its Saturday', which helped her song "Mr. Mysterious" (DL: 34 to 13) to

leap from No.50 to No.34, and now this week (possibly helped its use in the

new promo ads for the second series of 'Merlin') the song jumps twenty-one

places to No.13. Last weeks second highest new entry from Jason DeRulo,

"Ridin' Solo" (DL: 18 to 15), climbs to a new a new peak of No.15. Whilst

Vanessa did jump over twenty places, its not the biggest Top 50 leap of the

week, that honor goes to David Guetta's new track "Gettin' Over You" (DL: 48

to 22) which is up twenty-three places to No.20, followed right behind at

No.21 with an eight place jump for another of last weeks debuts, Taio Cruz

and "Break Your Heart" (DL: 27 to 21), and for the three-in-a-row new peaks,

at No.22 is Chiddy Bang and his track "Opposite of Adults"(DL: 23 hold).

 

Four songs climbing into the Top 50 this week are lead by Jet and their

new track "Seventeen", which is up twenty-two places to No.4. T-Pain is up

eleven places to No.42 as he asks "Take Your Shirt Off" (Phys: 36 to 22),

and two re-entries to the Top 50 come from Powderfinger and "Burn Your

Name", which originally peaked at No.46, but comes back this week to a new

peak of No.45. KissChasy are the other re-entry to the fifty, climbing back

up five places to No.47 with "Dinosaur".

 

The highest new entry of the week comes from Sydney duo Yolanda Be Cool

feat DCup on the current ARIA No.1 Club Chart track (for the past two weeks)

"We No Speak Americano" (DL: 39 to 30). Sylvester Martinez and Johnson

Peterson are the guys who form the group who they are currently touring the

country playing their unique style of club music, having previously hit the

Club Charts with the track "Afro Nuts" and "Holy Cow".

 

Below Top 50: Ludacris and his new track "How Low" is up sixteen places to

No.54, whilst the two biggest climbing tracks within the Top 100 are found

in the lower half of the chart this week. Up twenty eight places to No.66 is

"You and Your Heart" by Jack Johnson, but the biggest climb of the week goes

to Angus and Julia Stone, whose "Big Jet Plane" flies up the charts thirty

places to No.69.

 

With Powderfinger re-entering the Top 50 with their latest track "Burn

Your Name", they also re-enter the charts with their highest charting single

"My Happiness" (HP-4, August 2004) and also debuting for the first time in

eleven years since being recorded is "These Days" (from the album "Odyssey

No.5"), which was Triple J's No.1 single in 1999 for their Hottest 100

countdown, plus featured in the Heath Ledger film "Two Hands" (1999), and

was the b-side of the August 1999 single "Passenger" (HP-30). So with the

band calling it a day and doing a national farewell tour in September their

back catalogue could continue to re-enter the charts.

 

British artist Tinie Tempah (Patrick Junior C. Okogwu) hails from

Plustead in South London, and makes his ARIA Chart debut with the former UK

No.1 (7 to 20 March, 2010) single "Pass Out", which enters our chart at

No.70. His debut album "Disc-Overy" is due out in July.

 

Lisa Mitchell is re-issuing her "Wonder" album this week, and from it

comes the new single "Oh! Hark" which debuts at No.71 this week. The last

new entry of the week is from LMFAO feat Lil' Jon and their new track

"Shots", which comes in at No.91 this week.

 

The TV show 'So You Think You Can Dance' came to an end last week, and a

few flow-on effects are registered in this weeks charts. "If We Ever Meet

Again" (DL: 11 to 10) by Timbaland and Katy Perry was used as one of the

final performance pieces, which sees the track climb back up two places to

No.11. The big dance routine at the start of the show was to David Guetta

and Kelly Rowland's "When Love Takes Over", which is back in the Top 100 at

No.89, and also back in at No.96 is Counting Crows and their 90's track

"Colourblind", which was used for the dancers' redo of their best

performances from the series. The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition" (DL: 44

to 32) was also another routine fave used, and it jumps up ten places to

No.32, dragging their "Love Lost" (DL: 42 to 33) track back up six places to

No.34 and their album "Conditions" to No.11.

 

Albums

 

Lady GaGa holds for a third consecutive week at No.1 on the ARIA Album

Chart with her "The Fame Monster" set, with a remix album out next week, she

could possibly knock herself off the top spot?? Susan Boyle's newly

repackaged edition of "I Dreamed a Dream" is back up to its February 2010

heights of No.2, ahead of the upcoming Mothers Day (9-May in Oz) chart

onslaught. In fact the top four are made up of current or former No.1

albums, with John Butler Trio falling down a spot to No.3 with "April

Uprising" and Mumford and Sons moving up two places to No.4 with "Sigh No

More".

 

Australia's Got Talent former winner Mark Vincent scores the highest new

entry of the week with his second album entitled "Compass", debuting at

No.5. It's the same position his debut album "My Vision" (re-entry at No.91)

entered at back in July of 2009, eventually peaking at No.2 by the end of

that month. The rest of the Top 10 is made up of Angus and Julia Stone

(No.6), Slash (No.7), Jason DeRulo (No.8), Florence + The Machine (No.9) and

last weeks highest new entry holds on at No.10, "Cohesion" by Gyroscope.

 

Powderfingers "Golden Rule" album is up twelve places to No.12, and Adam

Lambert does a turn-around with his album "For Your Entertainment", which is

up ten places to No.27. With Vanessa Amorosi jumping with her new single

"Mr. Mysterious", it also helps her "Hazardous" album zoom up twenty-seven

places to No.34, whilst current tourists and a group who have been doing

LOTS of media in the past couple of weeks Jet, see their former No.5 album

"Shaka Rock" claim the biggest climb of the week by flying up fifty-seven

places to No.40, whilst the recently released "Twilight: New Moon" DVD has

helped the soundtrack to the film climb back up forty-four places this week

to No.51.

 

The fifth best of/compilation album for INXS debuts at No.21 this week,

entitled "Platinum" is features sixteen tracks from as early as "The Loved

One" (1981) through to "Please (You Got That Need)" (1993), plus a second CD

which contains twenty-six track live album from their long career. The group

is planning to release their new collaboration album later in the year

featuring such singers as Rob Thomas, Ben Harper and Brandon Flowers

(Killers) amongst others lending their vocals on classic INXS tracks. That

album is due out later in the year.

 

Regina Spektor appeared on the grand final of 'So You Think You Can

Dance' and is touring the country at the moment, which has all helped her

"Far" (HP-10, July 2009) album to re-enter at No.52 this week. Jamie Cullum

was also in the country last week to promote his new album "The Pursuit",

which debuts at No.60. And next week Justin Bieber is due in the country,

and his new version of "My World" re-entitled "My Worlds" enters at No.82.
