Singles

 

Six years and six weeks ago, Usher scored his first No.1 single here in Australia by debuting at the No.1 spot with “Yeah” (29-March-2004), and now this week he claims his second chart-topper on the ARIA Singles Chart by climbing to the No.1 spot with “OMG” (DL: 2 to 1, Phys: 6 to 3). It becomes the 964th No.1 single in Australia (1940-2010), and the fourth abbreviation to make it to the top. The first abbreviation has hit the top twice, SOS (Save our Souls), firstly ABBA (12-Jan-1976 for 1 week) and again by Rihanna (24-April-2006 for 8 weeks). The other two abbreviated titles included the first ever reply song to go to No.1, Frankee’s “F.U. Right Back” (14-June-2004 for 3 weeks), and The Village People with their first No.1 from December 1978, “Y.M.C.A.”

“OMG” also joins a host of other three-letter titles to top the charts, such as “Ben” by Michael Jackson (Dec 1972), “Cry” by Johnnie Ray (June 1952), the aforementioned “SOS”, and most recently there was “Low” by Flo Rida (March 2008) and “You” by Wes Carr (Dec 2008) but there are two songs with even less words, “He” by Al Hibbler (March 1956) and “If” by Perry Como (July 1951).

“OMG” also becomes the fourth No.1 for the LaFace label (“Yeah” was issued on Arista Records), two of those belong to P!nk (“So What” a

and “Most Girls”) and the first was by TLC (“No Scrubs”, April 1999). The song also is the 630th by an American performer to hit the top spot.

 

With Usher now at the top, Brian McFadden’s “Just Say So” (DL: 1 to 2) has finished its three week run at the top, and falls to No.2 this week. With his debut album hitting the charts this week, plus his second single also scoring a Top 20 debut, B.o.B. and Bruno Mars’ collaboration on their single “Nothin’ on You” (DL: 6 to 3) climbs up four places to No.3. Right behind him at No.4 and also climbing is Vanessa Amorosi’s “Mr. Mysterious” (DL: 8 hold). With those two songs rising, it pushes down last week’s bullet performance from Justin Bieber on “Baby” (DL: 4 to 6) to No.5 this week, and former No.1 for Train “Hey, Soul Sister” (DL: 3 to 5, Phys: 7 to 6) is down two places to No.6. Jason DeRulo’s former No.1 “In My Head” (DL: 10 to 12) falls out of the Top 10 this week, but it is replaced by his third consecutive Top 10 single “Ridin’ Solo” (DL: 12 to 4) which is up six places to No.7. The three remaining Top 10 tracks are Lady GaGa and “Alejandro” (DL: 5 to 7) at No.8, Adam Lambert’s “Whataya Want from Me” (DL: 7 to 9, Phys: 23 to 8) at No.9 and Richard Vission holds on to No.10 with “I Like That” (DL: 9 to 11).

 

NEW PEAKS: After the February 12th opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the rendition of “Hallelujah” (DL: 18 debut) as performed by k.d. Lang made a No.19 debut on the charts (w/c 22-Feb-10). Last weekend (Sunday night) k.d. again performed the song as a guest performer on the 2010 TV Week Logie Awards, where she received a standing ovation and five minutes of applause. That performance has again translated into a spectacular enter for “Hallelujah”, which this week re-enters at No.13, beating the songs original No.19 peak back in February. The version by Jeff Buckley also re-enters this week at No.86. One of the other live performances from the night also makes a new peak jump this week, John Mayer’s “Heartbreak Warfare” (DL: 30 debut) is up twenty-three places to No.31, also scoring the biggest leap within the Top 100 this week. Plus the Rogue Traders who also rocked the Crown Palladium see their new single “Would You Raise Your Hands” debut at No.11 on the Physical chart, no Top 100 action as yet.

The biggest jump within the Top 50 goes to Ke$ha’s third single “Your Love is My Drug” (DL: 23 to 16), which is up eight places to No.17, whilst also cracking the Top 20 are Yolanda Be Cool and their dance track “We No Speak Americano” (DL: 25 to 19), up five to No.19 and at No.20 is Chiddy Bang and their song “Opposite of Adults” (DL: 21 to 17). With eight songs still in the Top 100, Justin Bieber guest vocals on Sean Kingston’s latest track “Eenie Meenie” (DL: 30 to 21) helps it to climb seven places to No.22, and last weeks mash-up debut for Florence + The Machine with Dizzee Rascal see “You’ve Got the Dirtee Love” (DL: 31 to 25) climb five places to No.27. Lower down Jet re-peak at No.40 with “Seventeen” (DL: 46 to 40), and entering the Top 50 at No.48 (up fourteen places) is “Solo” by Iyaz.

 

The first single from Eminem’s seventh studio album “Recovery” (due mid-June) debuts at No.16, entitled “Not Afraid” (DL: 14 debut), it becomes his 24th appearance on the ARIA Singles Chart, having already made two appearances as a guest vocalist this year on “Drop the World” by Lil’ Wayne (No.56, Feb 2010) and “Forever” by Drake (No.99, Feb 2010). His last actual single was the track “Beautiful” (No.33, July 2009). An act who is tied to Eminem also makes a Top 20 debut, B.o.B. scores his second current charting single with “Airplanes” (DL: 15 debut), coming in at No.18 and featuring guest vocals by Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams. The tie-in with Eminem is that version two of the song features guest vocals from the Big E, where he and B.o.B. ponder what their careers might have been like had they not pursued a rap career. B.o.B also scores a Top 50 entry on the albums chart this week with his debut set.

 

Former Perth and now UK based drum-and-bass group Pendulum make their ARIA Singles chart debut with the track “Watercolour”, coming in at No.37. It’s the first single to be issued from their May 24th due third album “Immersion”.

 

Last year the cast of the Channel Ten comedy series ‘Glee’ put 20 singles into the ARIA Top 100 (that’s twenty singles in one year!!!), and to put that into Australian chart history perspective, The Beatles charted 22 singles in 1964, of which no one has beaten, but Glee last year came close, and those twenty were charted from the end of July onwards. So last week we have the first for 2010 from the Glee Cast, which was funnily enough a Beatles cover of “Hello, Goodbye”, which this week jumps up seventeen places to No.66. But debuting are three more tracks, two of which are from the first-for-2010 episode, and one from this past weeks show. Firstly debuting at No.47 is “Gives You Hell”, originally a No.3 single from February 2009 for The All-American Rejects. Also from that first new episode debuting at No.79 is their rendition of Lionel Richie’s 1984 No.1 single “Hello”. This past weeks show was a Madonna-only episode, in that all those songs heard and performed were part of Madonna’s long charting career, and the soundtrack from that episode is sitting at No.21 this week. The gang’s version of her 1989 No.1 single “Like a Prayer” is the first from the episode to chart, debuting at No.52 this week.

 

BELOW Top 50: With the Glee gang already mentioned, the only two other new peaks below the Top 50 come from local acts. Perth’s Birds of Tokio climb a few places to No.64 with “The Saddest Song I Know”, and up twelve places to No.84 is “Back and Forth” by Brisbane’s Operator Please.

 

Rihanna debuts at No.60 with her 20th chart appearance, “Te Amo”, the third official single from her fourth album “Rated R” (TW-57). Cheryl Cole scores her second charting single as “Fight for This Love” debuts at No.76. Former UK No.1 single (April 4th, 2010) “This Ain’t a Love Song” by Scounting for Girls debuts at No.83 also becoming their first ARIA Chart appearance.

 

Current US No.2 single “Need You Now” by country music trio Lady Antebellum becomes their first ARIA charting single, coming in at No.88, and it’s the lead single off their same-titled second album. Last week Regina Spektor debuted with the track “EET” at No.79, which falls out of the chart this week, but replacing it is the new track “No Surprises”, which debus at No.96 this week.

 

Albums

 

This weeks album chart is a reflection of what Mothers all around the country might have gotten for Mothers Day (May 9th), but also notable for the previous Sunday’s Logies broadcast, in that k.d. Lang’s former No.1 album “Recollection” reclaims the No.1 spot by jumping up from No.15 to the top spot. k.d.’s best-of set “Recollection” originally hit No.1 back in March after her beautiful rendition of “Hallelujah” (as mentioned above), and its that same song again which she performed at The Logies on Sunday the 2nd of May which helps her album leap back to the top of the ARIA Album charts. And going off last weeks list of albums that jumped to No.1 from outside the Top 10, this becomes the seventh such album in ARIA’s history to jump to No.1 from a chart position outside of the Top 10 (this excludes No.1 re-entries).

 

Six of the Top 10 albums are all something that Mum might expect to get for Mothers Day, with Susan Boyle’s repackaged and heavily promoted album “I Dreamed a Dream” climbing back up to No.2. Australia’s Got Talent former winner Mark Vincent sees his “Compass” album climb back up to No.6, multiple-TV show-performer David Campbell scores his fourth-out-of-four Top 10 album as “On Broadway” leaps twelve places to land at No.7. Up nine places to No.9 is Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love” album, and scoring the highest new entry of the week is Andre Rieu, and his latest classical album “You Raise Me Up”, which debuts at No.8.

Last weeks No.1 from Justin Bieber falls back to No.3 this week, pushing AC/DC’s Soundtrack for ‘Iron Man 2’ down to No.4 this week. Lady GaGa only falls a single place this week, down to No.5 with her “The Fame Monster” album, but she also debuts with her new remix album “The Remix” at No.12 this week.

 

Rounding out the Top 10, is the second highest new entry of the week, which belongs to Melbourne four-piece British India, and their third album “Avalanche”. This is the group’s second Top 10 entry, having reached No.5 in late July of 2008 with their second set “Thieves”, whilst their first album “Guillotine” hit No.55 (9-July-2007). Lead track from the latest album is entitled “Beneath the Satellites”.

 

Powderfinger’s “Golden Rule” album again makes a leap up the charts, this week climbing ten places to No.13. Also leaping this week is the other Logies international guest performers album, John Mayer with “Battle Studies” which jumps up seventeen places to No.23. With Vanessa Amorosi scoring a Top 5 single this week, her latest album “Hazardous” is up seven places to No.24, and Doris Day, who last had an album of her best tracks on the charts back in May 2007 (“The Magic of Doris Day”, HP-22), scores a twenty place jump this week to No.29 with her latest collection “Hits: Hollywood and Broadway”.

 

The sixth studio album for California Metal group The Deftones lands at No.22, entitled “Diamond Eyes”, it’s their fifth Top 50 appearance and sixth Top 100 entry, which are all listed below

Opera Australian performer David Hobson scores his sixth Top 50 entry by debuting at No.25 with his new album “The Enchanted Way”, which is now his third highest charting album. Newcomer to the chart’s B.o.B. sees his debut album “The Adventures of Bobby Ray” debut at No.42, this week it has two Top 20 singles from it. The sisters from The Dixie Chicks (Martie Maguire and Emily Robison) have formed a side project called Court Yard Hounds, and their self-titled album enters at No.44. Country singer Sara Storer releases her first best-of collection entitled “Calling Me Home”, which debuts at No.45 this week. Hole’s fourth album, and first in fourteen years, “Nobody’s Daughter” debuts at No.50, the newly re-packaged album “Romborama” for The Bloody Beetroots re-enters the charts at No.51, and coming in at No.52 is the double live album for Tina Arena, “Live: The Onstage Collection”.
