Singles

 

Ke$ha stays atop the ARIA Singles Chart for a second week after debuting there last week with “We R Who We R”, and has sold enough in the past week to score a Gold Sales Certification for her track. Moving up one place to a new peak of No.2, and knocking on the top-spot door, is The Far East Movement and their single “Like a G6”, which swaps places with former No.1 by Rihanna, “Only Girl (in the World)”, dropping down to No.3 this week.

 

P!nk’s “Greatest Hits… So Far” is out this coming week, and the lead track (of three new songs on the album) lifted from that set, “Raise Your Glass”, climbs back up two places to No.4, and the second song in the Top 10 to score a new peak is up three places to No.5, Enrique Iglesias with Nicole Scherzinger and their track “Heartbeat”. Katy Perry drops down one place to No.6 with “Firework”, and dropping three places to No.7 is Nelly with “Just a Dream”, whilst his new track storms into the Top 30. Bruno Mars also jumps into the Top 30 with his new single, and his former No.1 “Just the Way You Are” is down a spot to No.8, and holding onto the No.9 spot is Mike Posner and “Cooler Than Me”.

 

The highest new entry of the week debuts at No.10, and as the track was released on the 9th of November, it has scored its debut with only three days sales. Black Eyed Peas are back in the Top 10 (5th of April was their last appearance with “Imma Be”) with the first track from their new album “The Beginning” (due Nov 26th), entitled “The Time (The Dirty Bit)”. The song samples “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” (No.1, 6 weeks from 1-Feb-1988) by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, taken from the late 1987 film ‘Dirty Dancing’ and instantly becomes the groups fourteenth Top 10 single from seventeen chart entries.

 

ARIA AWARD NEW PEAKS: With the ARIA Awards happening last Sunday night, a lot of winners and performers jump up the charts this week. Winner of ‘ARIA Best Rock Album’ were Birds of Tokyo, who jump back up seven places to No.13 with their ARIA Award nominated ‘Single of the Year’ “Plans”, two places lower than it’s original No.11 peak. Sia took away three ARIA Awards on the night, ‘Best Pop Release-Album’ and for ‘Best Independent Album’ for “We Are Born”, plus ‘Best Video’ for “Clap Your Hands”, and that single jumps nine places to No.17, whilst last weeks debut for her other single “I Go to Sleep” zooms up twenty-four places to No.32 this week, and she also debuts at No.99 with “Bring Night”. The big winners on the night with five awards were Angus & Julia Stoned, who took out the two big awards for ‘Album of the Year’ for “Down the Way” and ‘Single of the Year’ for “Big Jet Plane” which flies higher than ever before by jumping twenty-six places to land at No.21 this week. The Temper Trap took out two awards, ‘Best Group’ and ‘Most Popular Australian Single’ for “Sweet Disposition” which re-enters at No.69 this week, but they also climb into the Top 50 with the track “Fader”, up seven places to No.47. John Butler Trio performed their track “Revolution” on the night of the awards, and that track jumps back into Top 50 at No.41, up twenty-three places from last week.

 

Other new peaking tracks this week come from Bruno Mars and his second solo single “Grenade”, which is up seventeen places to No.23, and right behind him at No.24 is last weeks visitor to Australia, Jason DeRulo, who is up thirty-seven places with “The Sky’s the Limit”, now his fifth Top 40 entry. Another rap/RnB artist to jump up the charts this week is Nelly, who’s new single “Move That Body” is up twenty-four places to No.29. The biggest climber within the Top 100 this week is Good Charlotte’s new single “Sex on the Radio” which is up forty-three places to No.45, and climbing into the Top 50, up two places, is Kanye West with “Runaway”.

 

GLEE REPORT: With a new episode back on air last week, this time a second mash-up show (minus vitamin D), the gleesters potential rivals Dalton Academy take out their highest new entry this week. The Warblers (Dalton Academy Glee club) performed Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”, and that song debuts at No.35 this week. But the main structure of the show was girls vs boys doing a mash-up of songs, but this time around the girls had to do a boy-orientated song, and vice-versa for the boys, and the winners were (from chart-position this week) the girls, who enter at No.65 with “Start Me Up” / “Livin’ on a Prayer” (Rolling Stones, HP-1, 1981 / Bon Jovi, HP-3, 1987). The boys debut at No.82 with their mash-up of “Stop! In the Name of Love” / “Free Your Mind” (Supremes, HP-42, 1965 / En Vogue, HP-39, 1992). The gang are also in the charts with last weeks entries of “The Time Warp” at No.79, and “River Deep, Mountain High” drop from No.44 to No.95.

 

Two weeks ago, Australian drama show ‘Packed to the Rafters’ had a death on the show from one of their main characters, Melissa, who died in a car crash. Running throughout the death episode and the following week’s funeral show was the Coldplay track “Fix You” (HP-25, Sept 2005), which this week re-enters the chart at No.37.

 

Below Top 50: New peaks just under the lower section of the chart include Afrojack and Eva Simons at No.51 with “Take Over Control”, up seven places this week. Taio Cruz jumps twenty-four places to No.53 with his new single “Higher”, and winner of two ARIA Awards Washington for ‘Best Female Artist’ and ‘Breakthrough Artist’ sees the song she performed on the night, “Sunday Best”, which re-enters at No.64, scoring a new peak in the process.

 

Local singer Wally (Wouter) De Backer is better known by his stage name Gotye who won an ARIA Award for ‘Best Male Artist’ in 2007, and he is due to issue his third studio album soon, with the lead single from the album “Eyes Wide Open” debuting at No.55 this week becoming his first ARIA Singles Chart entry. With Powderfinger opening this years ARIA Awards with their final performance, plus the group picked up two awards on the night for ‘Most Popular Australian Album’ for “Golden Rule” and ‘Most Popular Australian Artist’, they re-enter this week at No.59 with “Burn Your Name”. And another local act who enters this week is Rav Thomas at No.62 with his second chart entry “Like a Game Show Host”. He first charted in August 2009 with the No.86 track “Lily” (HP-2, Phys).

 

Other ARIA Award winners who re-enter the lower reaches of the charts include The Temper Trap at No.84 with “Love Lost”. Mumford & Sons took out the first ever award for ‘Most Popular International Artist’, and “Little Lion Man” comes back into the Top 100 at No.87, whilst Angus & Julia Stone re-enter at No.92 with “And the Boys”. Coming back in due to two different reasons (one of them not for the ARIA Awards) at No.90 is Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer”, helped by their new Greatest Hits set, and Glee using the song this past week.

 

Albums

 

In a very competitive week for the race to No.1, it’s a group who takes out the top spot; Bon Jovi, who debut at the top with their eighth No.1 “Bon Jovi Greatest Hits”. And by landing at the top with their eighth No.1, they are now equal fifth in the list of acts with ‘Most No.1 Albums’ tied with John Farnham, and one chart-topper away from Jimmy Barnes and Madonna’s nine, whilst U2 have scored eleven and in first place are The Beatles with fourteen No.1’s.

 

“Bon Jovi Greatest Hits” is the 623rd No.1 album in Australia (1965-2010), and the 57th Greatest Hits/Best of collection to reach the top spot, with k.d Lang’s “Recollection” being the last back in March and again in May of this year. Bon Jovi have now accumulated fifteen weeks at No.1 from their eight number ones, and this new set becomes the 298th No.1 by a Group, and the 227th No.1 by an American Act. The groups entire album chart history is listed below…

Last year Susan Boyle debuted at No.1 in the last week of November with her first album “I Dreamed a Dream” (TW-53 to 20), where it stayed for eleven weeks (until early February 2010) and this week her second album “The Gift” debuts at No.2. Her first set entered on Platinum Certification, and this new album does the same, and will most likely go to No.1 closer to Christmas, as the new album features traditional seasonal songs for seven of its eleven, the others include covers from Crowded House, Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen.

 

Last weeks No.1 debut of “Speak Now” for Taylor Swift drops down to No.3 this week, pushing the former No.1 for Kings of Leon, “Come Around Sundown” also down two places to No.4 this week. Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” holds at No.7, with John Farnham’s “Jack” dropping two places to No.8, with two more covers collections right behind him. Neil Diamond’s “Dreams” is at No.9 and Rod Stewarts “Fly Me to the Moon” falls from two weeks at No.4 down to No.10 this week.

 

Jessica Mauboy’s third album entry becomes her second Top 10 hit, as “Get ‘em Girls” debuts at No.6 this week. Her first album, which was a collection of tracks she sung on Australian Idol was entitled “The Journey”, and that debuted and peaked at No.4 in March 2007. Her first studio album was “Been Waiting” which took nine weeks to reach its peak of No.11 in February of 2009 (whilst “Burn” was at No.1) and it re-enters at No.97 this week in its 71st week in the Top 100. Lead single from the new album is the title track, which is at No.40 this week, second single “Saturday Night” is due out soon.

 

ARIA Awards: Winners for “Album of the Year”, Angus and Julia Stone see their “Down the Way” album halve last weeks position by moving from No.10 to No.5 this week. Washington’s two awards help “I Believe You Liar” to jump twenty-two places to No.13, winners of ‘Best Rock Album”, Birds of Tokyo see their self-titled album move up five places to No.15. Sia won two ARIA’s for her album “We Are Born”, which leaps twenty-one places to No.18 this week, and up ten places to No.21 is The John Butler Trio and the album “April Uprising”. Powderfinger jump twenty places to No.51 with “Golden Rule”, and The Temper Trap are up fifteen places to No.54 with “Conditions”, who won two ARIA Awards.

 

James Blunt debuts at No.11 with his third album “Some Kind of Trouble”, whose lead single “Stay the Night” re-enters at No.74 this week. His first album “Back to Bedlam” spent twelve broken weeks at the top (Sept 2005, Jan 2006 and April 2006), with his second album “All the Lost Souls” debuting at the top in September 2007, spending a week at the top.

 

Other movers this week include Michael Jackson’s “Essential” collection, which is up seventeen places to No.23 ahead of his forthcoming ‘Michael’ album, and new single being issued on Monday the 15th of November. P!nk’s “Greatest Hits… So Far” is out this week, and her previous studio album “Funhouse” is up fourteen places to No.33 this week. The original “The Fame” by Lady GaGa is back in the Top 40 at No.34 (up from No.62), whilst “The Fame Monster” falls out this week after 48 weeks in the Top 100. Greatest Hits sets from Fleetwood Mac (43 to 32), Neil Diamond (42 to 35), Ronan Keating (50 to 38), Cat Stevens (52 to 41) and Roy Orbison (68 to 48) are all up this week. And thanks to his X-Factor performance plus his promo tour and hot new single, Jason DeRulo’s self-titled album re-enters the Top 100 at No.42.

 

Two other RnB acts enter with new albums this week. Cee-Lo Green enters at No.24 with his third solo album “The Lady Killer”, which features the former No.5 single “F.U.”, which is holding at No.11 this week, and second single will be “Old Fashioned”. His previous album from 2002 and 2004 did not chart in Australia. And the fourth album for Ne-Yo entitled “Libra Scale” debuts at No.36, helped the albums two lead singles already charting, “Beautiful Monster” (HP-53, August 2010) and “One in a Million” (HP-78, October 2010). All of his albums have reached the Top 50, first set “In My Own Words” reached No.41 in May 2006, second album “Because of You” debuted and peaked at No.39, whilst his last album “Year of the Gentlemen” entered the charts at No.7 in September 2008.
