Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Singles

 

Rihanna becomes the first female artist to debut at the top of the ARIA Singles chart this decade by entering at No.1 with the lead single from her forthcoming fifth album “Loud” (due November 2010) entitled “Only Girl (in the World)” (DL: 1 debut). As she had scored two previous chart-toppers this year, this now becomes her third No.1 after “Rude Boy” (2 weeks, March) and her duet with Eminem on “Love the Way You Lie” (6 weeks July-August) which is sitting at No.6 this week. No other act this year has scored more than one No.1 single, so Rihanna jumps ahead of all other acts to reach the top this year.

 

“Only Girl (in the World)” is the 968th No.1 single in Australia (1940 to 2010), and Rihanna’s sixth overall. It puts her on equal level of ‘Most No.1 Singles’ with such acts as Dean Martin, Roy Orbison, The Rolling Stones and Abba, who all achieved six No.1’s during their time on the charts. And this new track debuting at the top moves Rihanna’s tally at the top to a total of twenty-seven weeks, which now puts her on equal footing with Eminem who achieved his 27 weeks with seven No.1’s, Rihanna has done it with six. “Only Girl” is now the fifth No.1 for the Def Jam label, all previous were of course by Rihanna. It’s also the eighteenth ‘Girl’, the second ‘Only’ and the twelfth ‘World’ to reach the top, in fact one song had both a girl and a world in it’s, and was the last ‘world’ infused track to reach the top, Prince/Love Symbol’s “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” (2 weeks, May 1994). The song has also reached No.1 in Canada (up from No.65) and Norway, No.2 in Sweden and jumped from 75 to No.3 on the US Charts this past week.

 

So Rihanna’s debut pushes the four week run at No.1 of Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” (DL: 1 to 2) down to No.2 this week, whilst last week’s No.3 stays put for a third non-consecutive week, Usher and Pitbull’s “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” (DL: 3 to 5, Phys” 11 to 6), but the three week run at No.2 for Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” (DL: 2 to 4) is over as it drops back down two places to No.4 this week. Scoring all the fives this week is Bruno Mars and his track “Just the Way You Are” (DL: 5 to 3), staying put at No.5 in its fifth week on the chart.

 

As I mentioned above, Eminem and Rihanna’s duet “Love the Way You Lie” (DL: 4 to 7) is at No.6, down two places this week. Climbing three places to No.7 is Mike Posner’s “Cooler than Me” (DL: 10 to 6), which pushes Cee-Lo Green and his track “F.U.” (DL: 8 hold) down a place to No.8. Ke$ha drops down three places to No.9 with her fourth Top 5 single “Take it Off” (DL: 6 to 8), and Flo Rida and David Guetta drop down two places to No.10 with “Club Can’t Handle Me” (DL: 7 to 10).

 

New Peaks: There are only two new peaking tracks outside of the Top 10 this week, the first gets help from their X Factor performance last Monday night, The Potbelleez and their new single “Hello” (DL: 48 to 30) scores the biggest Top 50 jump by rising sixteen places to No.26 this week, and right above it also helped by an X-Factor performance (plus a Glee one later in the week) is Jay-Z and Alicia Keys with “Empire State of Mind” (DL: 35 to 24), back up ten places to No.25, the song not having been so high since the end of March. The other new peak comes from Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem, who break into the Top 50 by climbing thirteen spots to No.41 this week with the track “Mistakes”.

 

With Rihanna scoring the highest new entry of the week, the second of six new Top 50 entries is the lead single from the Kings of Leon’s forthcoming mid-October due fifth album “Come Around Sundown”, the single debuting at No.19 is entitled “Radioactive” (DL: 18 debut). It becomes the bands eighth ARIA Singles chart entry and also becomes their highest debuting single, beating the No.27 entry of their former No.1 “Sex on Fire”, which re-enters the Top 100 this week at No.85, taken from their fourth album “Only By the Night” which jumps back up twenty-five places this week to No.43. “Radioactive” is already Top 5 in Ireland and Top 10 in New Zealand and on the US Rock Chart.

 

The twelfth solo chart appearance for Black Eyed Peas band member will.i.am debuts at No.21 this week, entitled “Check it Out” (DL: 20 debut), featuring guest vocals from Nicki Minaj. This could in fact just be his second solo chart appearance, as the other ten were all as guest vocalist, so his previous solo single was September 2007’s “I Got it From My Mama” which debuted and peaked at No.19. This new track is from his upcoming fourth solo album (no release date yet), and samples the instrumental hook from the last No.1 of the 1970’s (here in Australia), The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” and the song is currently Top 50 in Canada and Top 60 in the US charts.

 

The second season of the Emmy Award winning musical-comedy series Glee started on Channel 10 on Wednesday night, plus the release of the second half of Season One was released on DVD last week, which has helped their albums to rise slightly, and for three new tracks to enter in the lower part of the Top 50, plus a fourth in the lower Top 100. The original is up ten places to No.25, but the Glee version of “Empire State of Mind” (DL: 39 debut) from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys jumps into the Top 100 at No.40. Next at No.45 is the gangs rendition of “Telephone”, the original by Lady GaGa and Beyonce also rises, their version is up six places to No.68. A new cast member to the show sung his version of “Billionaire” which debuts at No.50, the original from Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars is down two places to No.27 this week. Lastly the other new cast member makes an entry at No.91 with “Listen”, originally performed by Beyonce from the ‘Dreamgirls’ film.

 

Below Top 50: An X-Factor performance has helped Daniel Merriweather’s 2009 single “Red” to not only re-enter this week, but to also score a new peak. Performed last Sunday night by Melbourne’s Sally Chatfield, it was seen as one of the stand-out performances of the night. The song originally hit No.78 in early November of 2009. The other new peak is also from a local act, Sparkadia climb a couple of places to No.80 with their single “Talking Like I’m Falling Down Stairs”.

 

The second single from Travie McCoy’s “Lazarus” album enters at No.83 entitled “We’ll Be Alright”, which samples the Supergrass track “Alright” (HP-96, Oct 1995) as its hook, and joins this week’s No.27 single “Billionaire”, which climbed as high as No.5. Another group releasing a second single from their current album are Thirsty Merc, whose new single “All My Life” debuts at No.84, the boys performing this track on Monday night on X-Factor, which has also helped their album “Mousetrap Heart” to rebound forty-one places to No.54 this week. And lastly a third artist scoring a second single from their current album is Enrique Iglesias, who enters at No.95 with “Heartbeat” from his “Euphoria” album (TW-64).

 

Swedish producer/DJ and one-third of Swedish House Mafia Adrian Lux scores his first solo ARIA Singles chart entry by debuting at No.92 with his third single “Teenage Crime”.

 

The eleventh chart entry for US rapper Lil’ Wayne debus at No.98 entitled “Right Above it”. It features guest vocals from Drake, who is obviously returning the favor that Lil’ Wayne lent him on his track “Forever” which reached No.99 back in February of this year. This is the lead single from his forthcoming eighth studio album “I’m Not a Human Being”, and this single reached No.6 in the US, and has reached the Top 40 in Canada and England.

 

Albums

 

Linkin Park score their longest run at the top of the ARIA Album Chart by securing a second week at the top with “A Thousand Suns”, beating the single week that their last album “Minutes to Midnight” spent back in May 2007. Also holding this week at No.2 is the former No.1 for Katy Perry, “Teenage Dream”, as to is Eminem’s “Recovery” album, which holds at No.4.

 

The highest new entry of the week is the sixth solo album for Kasey Chambers, debuting at No.3 is “Little Bird”. It’s her first new studio album in two-and-a-half years, with her previous three all debuting at No.1, and her last four albums all reached the No.1 position. She did release a kid’s album last November, and her full chart history is listed below…

The eighth studio album from Phil Collins entitled “Going Back” enters the album chart at No.9, becoming his first studio album to hit the Top 10 in over fifteen years. This album is a covers set of Motown and soul tracks from the 1960’s, something which has popped up in chart career before, as he has done covers of “You Can’t Hurry Love” (HP-3, 1983) and “A Groovy Kind of Love” (HP-2, 1988). Early in the 2000’s, Phil announced that he was losing his hearing, and in September 2009 he had surgery on his neck to fix some vertebrae which affected his drum playing, thus he mainly sings on this new album, the lead single of which is his rendition of “Heat Wave” (1964, Martha & The Vandellas). Phil’s album entries in Australia are listed below…

Tim McGraw’s tour of Australia finished in Townsville on Saturday the 25th of September, and his two weeks of tours have now scored him his highest placed album this week, with his current album “Southern Voice” leaping twenty-five places to No.12, and he scores the biggest jumping album of the week as his “Greatest Hits: Volume 1, 2 & 3” leaps fifty-five places to No.19 giving him two albums in the Top 20 this week. His previously highest placed album was the No.36 peak for September 2004 album “Live Like You Were Dying”. And future tourists Metallica, who finish their two year running ‘World Magnetic Tour’ in Melbourne on November 21st, 2010 release an Australia/New Zealand only eight track live album entitled “Six Feet Down Under”, which debuts at No.17 this week and contains eight songs from bootlegs recorded by fans, and live recordings never released by the band, some former album tracks, others familiar songs like “The Unforgiven” and “..And Justice For All”.

 

Anybody know if Delta/Brian's song has been physically released yet? #41 seems tragic if so.

Nope, it's only remaining a digital only release oddly enough. Compared to "Just Say So" & past Delta singles (including "Almost Here" too), it's getting moderate airplay in OZ!

YAY for Rihanna :heart: 3 #1's this year B)

Thanks for that. I guess people just don't like it much. Admittedly it's one of the weaker songs Delta's put her name to but I'd have thought she could manage better than #41! I'll be interested to see how her comeback single/album perform there when they finally surface!

I was surprised when Kylie only got to #12 with 'All The Lovers' and when the track was released on cd the following week it dropped!!! :o Even '2 Hearts' and 'Slow' made #1 in Australia. :manson: Oh well, different era with downloads haven't helped in this case.

 

On another note;

 

1 (New) Only Girl (In The World) – Rihanna :w00t:

 

Unlike Kylie, Rihanna is very much of the download era.

Go Nicki and Will :wub:

Anybody know if Delta/Brian's song has been physically released yet? #41 seems tragic if so.

 

 

no, that didnt happened

Still haven't heard the new Rihanna song

 

Love Birds Of Tokyo's album and Ou Est Le Swimming Pool is totally growing on me
