Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Singles

 

Rihanna returns to the No.1 ARIA Singles position this week with “Only Girl (in the World)”, now notching up its fourth week at the top, and bringing Rihanna’s accumulated tally at No.1 to 30 weeks, one week shy of Kylie Minogue’s 31 weeks at the top. Not only is she the only act to have had more than one chart-topper (she’s appeared on three), but she is now the only performer to have reclaimed the No.1 position after falling off the top.

 

And in-between Rihanna’s run where she sat at No.2 for two weeks, two songs have scored single weeks at the top, with last week’s “Just the Way You Are” by Bruno Mars dropping back down to No.2, and the previous week’s summit-sitter, “Raise Your Glass” from P!nk holding at No.4 for another week. Wedged in-between those two former No.1’s is Nelly holding at No.3 with “Just a Dream”, plus a third track within the Top 5 holds steady for another week, Mike Posner and “Cooler Than Me”.

 

There are two new entries to the Top 10 this week, and the first flies up nine places to land at No.6, it’s the current U.S. No.1 single “Like a G6” by Far East Movement. And after four weeks of bouncing between 11 and 13, Duck Sauce climb two places to land at No.9 with “Barbra Streisand”. Former No.1 for Taio Cruz, “Dynamite”, is down a place to No.7, and also dropping one spot is Cee-Lo Green with “F.U.” at No.8, and last weeks Top 10 entry, “Freefallin’” for Zoe Badwi is down a spot to No.10 this week.

 

NEW PEAKS: Katy Perry scores the biggest Top 50 leap of the week, as the third single from her new single “Firework” explodes up the chart twenty-two places to No.15, one place behind her former No.2 track “Teenage Dream” which is sitting at No.14 this week. Enrique and Nicole limb four places to No.23 with “Heartbeat”, and thanks in part to her appearance on ‘Hey Hey’ last weekend, Brooke Fraser scores the biggest Top 100 climber of the week, as her latest single “Something in the Water” jumps up thirty places to No.29. Just ahead of Brooke (and another NZ’er) is Stan Walker, who appeared on X Factor on Monday night, and that performance has helped his current single “Choose You” to leap back up seventeen places to No.28, plus his album “From the Inside Out” has shot back up fifty-one to land at No.33 this week.

 

Adam Lambert climbs two places to No.32 with “For Your Entertainment”. And two Swedish acts make jumps up, Swedish House Mafia climbing fifteen places to No.34 with “Miami 2 Ibiza”, and Adrian Lux is up four places to No.36 with “Teenage Crime”. And lastly, when Sia debut in May with her latest track “Clap Your Hands”, it debuted at peaked at No.51, spending seven broken weeks in the Top 100. But four weeks ago it snuck back in at No.100, and has now gone from 77 to 56 to this week No.33 (up twenty-three places) to give Sia her second Top 40 entry after “You’ve Changed” (HP-31, Jan 2010), plus her ARIA nominated album “We Are Born” is up eighteen places to No.34 this week.

 

In a unique marketing campaign for a new album, Universal have been releasing new tracks from Taylor Swift’s third album “Speak Now” on a weekly basis, which has helped them all to be high new entries every week. Three weeks ago “Speak Now” debuted at No.20 (and falls out of the Top 100 this week). Last week “Back to December” debuted at No.26 (No.71 this week), and now this week another track enters, and claims the highest new entry of the week, coming in at No.45 is “Mean”. So now they can lay claim that the album has spawned four Top 50 hits already ("Mine" is at No.43).

 

Glee Report: Last week new entry for the Glee gang, “Only the Good Die Young”, is up one place to a new peak of No.49, but debuting three places lower at No.52 is their rendition of Tina Turner’s 1966 hit “River Deep, Mountain High” (HP-29, 1966 & No.14 in 1992 on a duet with Jimmy Barnes). This week episode of Glee was all about duets, and originally performed by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, “Lucky” was from his album “We Dance, We Sing…”, and this is the first time this track has appeared on the ARIA Charts, and the Glee version debuts at No.68. The third duet from this past week shows to enter is the gangs version of “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”, which comes in at No.96. Originally performed by Elton John and Kiki Dee, it was Elton’s first No.1 single here in Australia in 1976. And from the previous week’s episode, debuting at No.89, is their cover of the first Beatles No.1 single in Australia, “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” (Dec 1963).

 

Below Top 50: Travie McCoy is up ten places to No.51 with his second single “We’ll Be Alright, Kanye West is up a couple of places to No.56 with “Runaway”, and after originally peaking at No.85 in October 2009, and then at No.82 in February of this year, The Temper Trap’s “Fader” is up eighteen places this week to a new peak of No.57. Train again chug up the countdown with “Save Me, San Francisco”, this week it’s up eight places to No.63. Trey Songz is up nineteen places to No.74 with “Bottoms Up”, and up sixteen places is Jason DeRulo’s “The Sky’s the Limit”, sitting at No.81 this week.

 

With Bruno Mars hitting No.1 last week with “Just the Way You Are”, he this week debuts with his fourth chart entry and second solo single, “Grenade”, which debuts at No.55 this week. Plus his album “Doo-Wop and Hooligans” is retains its Top 10 placing by only dropping one place to No.8 this week.

 

Melbourne rapper Illy had a Triple J Top 100 placing in 2009 with his track “Pictures” taken from his debut album “Long Story Short”. This week he makes his ARIA Top 100 Singles debut by entering at No.58 with “It Can Wait” featuring Owl Eyes on guest vocals. And British rapper Tinie Tempah scores his second ARIA Chart entry, debuting at No.70 is “Written in the Stars” featuring Eric Turner as guest vocals. It instantly matches the entry position and peak of his first entry, “Pass Out” (April 2010).

 

No.1 in fourteen European countries during late 2009 was “Alors on Danse” (So We Dance) by Belgian singer Stromae, which this week debuts at No.79. This version charting here has the added vocals of Kanye West, and is Stromae’s first chart entry here.

 

Keith Urban has a new album entitled “Get Closer” coming out November 12th, and the first single from that album entitled “Long Hot Summer” debuts at No.94 this week. It’s Keith’s tenth ARIA Singles Chart entry, his last being “Kiss a Girl” (HP-87, June 2009).

 

Albums

 

Kings of Leon stake claim to the No.1 album position for a second week with their “Come Around Sundown” album, but they do face some stiff competition next week from new albums by Taylor Swift, Jamiroqaui, Good Charlotte, Neil Diamond and possibly even Elton John and Leon Russell.

 

Debuting at No.2 is the sixth installment of Triple J’s “Like a Version” collection, where local and international artists play live acoustic versions of some of their favorite songs. This sixth edition has performers such as Washington, Mumford & Sons, John Butler Trio, Yves Klein Blue, Alexisonfire, Grinspoon, Miami Horror and Regina Spektor amongst the 21 tracks. Previously these albums have all made it to the Top 30 or Top 40, but this is the first to land so high. Previous chart efforts were; Volume 1 (HP-27, May 2005), Volume 2 (didn’t chart), Volume 3 (HP-24, September 2007), Volume 4 (HP-34, November 2008), and Volume 5 (HP-29, December 2009).

 

John Farnham’s “Jack” is down one place to No.3, and climbing again to a new peak of No.5 is Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” album. Multi ARIA nominees Angus and Julia Stone climb three places to No.6 with their album “Down the Way”, and also up three spots to No.7 is Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” album. Bruno Mars falls one place to No.8 with his debut album “Doo-Wops and Hooligans”, and scoring its lowest placing so far, dropping five places to No.9 is Eminem’s “Recovery” album, and also down five places is The Script’s “Science and Faith”, now at No.10.

 

Rod Stewart’s fifth installment of his “Great American Songbook” is entitled “Fly Me to the Moon”, and it debuts at No.4 this week to be the highest placed album in the series, beating the No.5 peak of the first collection, “It Had to Be You”. This new collection features versions of “That Old Black Magic”, “Beyond the Sea”, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “Moon River” amongst it twelve tracks. Rods entire album chart history is listed below…

Australian rock legend Billy Thorpe passed away in February of 2007, and he was putting his final touches to his magus-opus entitled “Tangiers”, which he would be unable to complete due to his passing. But such work doesn’t go unnoticed, and family, friends and fellow musicians have now helped to put his final work out into the world, and that album this week debuts at No.14. Billy of course was a pop star from 1963 to 1967 with his band The Aztecs, and then a rock solo artist in the early 1970’s, and his entire chart entries are listed below…

Like a G6 annoys the hell out of me...it's so stupid!

 

Same here, i was hoping it would flop over here, but i have a suspicion it's gonna be a hit unfortunately.

That track has absolutely no merit at all.
