Singles

 

Usher stays at No.1 for a second week with his track "OMG" (DL:1 hold,

Phys: 3 hold), now doubling his original stay at No.1, as "Yeah" debuted at

No.1 and stayed there for only a week back in late March of 2004, kicked off

by Eamon the next week, who had entered at No.2 behind Usher the prior week.

Another RnB act, but this one from the other side of the Atlantic makes his

rush for the top spot, English act Taio Cruz jumps thirteen places to No.2

with his first Australian chart entry "Break Your Heart" (DL: 13 to 2), and

possibly soon first chart-topper. All three leapers into the Top 10 are all

RnB acts who all leaps double-figures. Eminem's new track "Not Afraid" (DL:

14 to 4) is up twelve places to No.4, and B.o.B. feat Paramore lead singer

Hayley Williams is up eleven places to No.7 on "Airplanes" (DL: 15 to 7).

 

Former No.1 for Brian McFadden, "Just Say So" (DL: 2 to 3) is down one

place to No.3, and last weeks number three from B.o.B. and Bruno Mars,

"Nothin' on You" (DL: 3 to 5) is down two places to No.5 this week. Jason

DeRulo's third Top 10 "Ridin' Solo" (DL: 4 to 6) climbs to a new peak of

No.6, and the rest of the Top 10 is made up of Train and their "Hey, Soul

Sister" (DL: 5 to 8, Phys: 6 to 10) at No.8, Lady GaGa and her new man

"Alejandro" (DL: 7 to 9) are at No.9 and holding on at No.10 is Adam

Lambert's "Whataya Want from Me" (DL: 9 to 10, Phys: 8 to 9). The Top 10

says goodbye to Vanessa Amorosi's "Mr. Mysterious" (DL: 8 to 12), down eight

places to No.12, Justin Bieber's "Baby" (DL: 6 to 11) is down six places to

No.11 and Richard Vission's "I Like That" (DL: 11 to 20) drops six places to

No.16.

 

NEW PEAKS: Ke$ha climbs a few places with her latest track "Your Love is My

Drug" (DL: 16 to 13), now up to No.13, and also climbing a few places is

Yolanda Be Cool with "We No Speak Americanos" (DL: 19 to 15), up to No.17.

David Guetta was at No.20 a few weeks back with "Gettin' Over You" (DL: 27

to 18), and this week he scores a new peak at No.18 with that track. Sean

Kingston and Justin Bieber take "Eenie Meenie" (DL: 21 to 19) up to a new

peak of No.21, and Stan Walker's recent promos have helped his new track

"Unbroken" (DL: 31 to 23, Phys: 4 hold) to climb up six places to No.24.

 

The biggest climber of the week goes to local group Amy Meredith and

their new track "Lying" which jumps up forty-one places to land at No.27

(possibly helped by their new naughty video-clip). Right behind them at

No.28 is the latest track from the Glee Cast, their version of Madonna's

"Like a Prayer" (DL: 27 debut) is up twenty-four places to No.28, plus they

also debut at No.99 with their rendition of her "Like a Virgin" track. Along

with Amy Meredith and the Glee Gang, Rihanna also jumps into the Top 50,

this time with "Te Amo" (DL: 35 debut) which is up twenty-five places to

No.35. Two local acts break out of their 40's holding patterns and also

score new peaks this week, with Jet and "Seventeen" up a couple of places to

No.38, and KissChasy up six places to a new peak of No.39 with "Dinosaur"

(DL: 43 to 40).

 

The 20th ARIA Singles Chart appearance for Christina Aguilera is the

highest new entry of the week, coming in at No.22 is "Not Myself Tonight"

(DL: 32 to 25, Phys: 6 debut). It's the lead single from her June due fourth

album "Bionic" and is her first appearance on the charts since September

2008's No.26 single "Keeps Gettin' Better", which was taken from her

Greatest Hits collection also called "Keeps Gettin' Better".

 

Below Top 50:

 

Angus and Julia Stone fly up twenty-two places to land at No.51 with

their latest track "Big Jet Plane". Former UK No.1 from Scouting for Girls

called "This Ain't a Love Song" is up twenty-eight places to No.55. Cheryl

Cole's second single "Fight for This Love" climbs twelve places to No.64,

and re-entering and scoring a new peak at the same time is LMFAO and Lil'

Jon on the track "Shots" at No.89.

 

British band Ou Est Le Swimming Pool score their first ARIA Singles

Chart entry by debuting at No.56 with the club track "Dance the Way I Feel",

and another UK dance artist debuts at No.65, Calvin Harris and his new

single "You Used to Hold Me".

 

Sydney five-piece Boy & Bear debut at No.66 with their first chart

entry, the EP "With Emperor Antarctica" (Phys: 2 debut). Another local act

with a new EP is Brisbane's Washington (led by Megan Washington), and they

debut at No.70 with their "Rich Kids (EP) (Phys: 1 debut)". Three more

locals also debut, with Orianthi scoring her second chart hit by debuting at

No.85 with "Shut Up & Kiss Me", Powderfinger enter at No.87 with "Sail the

Wildest Stretch", and The Rogue Traders are in at No.95 with their new

single "Would You Raise Your Hands?" (Phys: 11 to 12), which they performed

at the Logies two weeks ago and on 'Hey Hey' this past week.

The follow-on from the Mothers Day sales is reflected in this weeks

With the recently announced Metallica tour of Australia for October,

Magnetic" creeps back in this week to No.94. Expect more of their back

catalogue to chart around tour time (as it has done before).
