Singles

 

55 Weeks ago (2-Nov-09), The Black Eyed Peas were scoring their seventh No.1 single with “Meet Me Halfway” (1 week at the top), and now this week they land their eighth No.1 single in Australia as their new track “The Time (Dirty Bit)” jumps from its No.10 debut from last week to the top of the charts. This eighth number one puts them in equal twelfth on the list of ‘Artists with the Most No.1 Singles 1940-2010’, tying with Sammy Kaye, Dinah Shore and their only current competition, Delta Goodrem. And “The Time” has now helped the BEP’s to accumulate their twenty-ninth week at the top of the ARIA Charts, passing Olivia Newton-John on 28 weeks, and a week shy of Rihanna’s recent efforts to help her up to 30 weeks. This song could also be at the top of the charts for the rest of 2010, unless the X-Factor winner can change that, so expect a few more changes to the Peas No.18 ranking on the list of ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1 1940-2010’.

 

“The Time (Dirty Bit)” becomes the 972nd No.1 in Australia, and the 26th chart-topper for the Interscope label, the second this year, with Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” being the other label mate No.1. It’s the eleventh ‘Time’ track to hit No.1, the last being “… Baby, One More Time” by Britney Spears (9 weeks, Feb thru April 1999), and of course we all know that the song samples “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing, and is one of the few tracks that returns to No.1 featuring a sample of a song that has already been at No.1. The last occurrence of this type was back in June 2001 when Shaggy took “Angel” to the top for eight weeks, a sample of the chorus containing “Angel of the Morning” by Merrillee Rush who hit the top with it for two weeks in July 1968. And whilst a lot of covers have remade it to the top twice like “What About Me” (Moving Pictures, 1982; Shannon Noll, 2004), very few remixed/sampled tunes have made it back to the top. One such occurrence was the “Grease Megamix” (5 weeks from June to July 1991), which semi-sampled Olivia and John’s former No.1 (amongst other ‘Grease’ tracks) “You’re the One That I Want” (9 broken weeks, June to October 1978).

 

So after two weeks at No.1, Ke$ha drops down a place to No.2 with “We R Who We R”, even though she was in the country the past week doing performances on her promo tour, it wasn’t enough to thwart the Black Eyed Peas zoom to the top. Her fall also pushes down last weeks No.2 to No.3, “Like a G6” for Far East Movement. Katy Perry’s “Firework” is only one of two new peaking tracks this week in the Top 10 (BEPs are the other), it climbs up two places to No.4, pushing P!nk’s “Raise Your Glass” down one place to No.5.

 

Half of the Top 10 is former or current No.1 singles this week (five out of five), and dropping three places to No.6 is Rihanna’s “Only Girl (in the World)”, whilst the fifth former chart-topper, Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” is holding steady at No.8. The other stable track of the week is Nelly’s “Just a Dream”, which is holding at No.7, whilst last weeks No.5 of “Heartbeat” by Enrique Iglesias, falls this week to No.9.

 

The highest new entry of the week lands at No.10, and is the second new single to be issued from this week new No.1 album, P!nk’s “Greatest Hits… So Far”. P!nk put three new tracks on her GH set, the first was the No.1 debut for “Raise Your Glass”, and now this week she debuts at No.10 with “F**kin’ Perfect”, her 25th charting single in Australia, and one place ahead of the other F**k track on the charts, Cee-Lo Green’s F.U., which is holding at No.11. A couple of places lower at No.13 sees a second Top 20 entry for the week, Jessica Mauboy with her eighth charting single “Saturday Night”, the second release from her new album “Get ‘em Girls” (LP-TW 20), and the title track from that album is sitting at No.44 this week.

 

NEW PEAKS: Bruno Mars scores his second solo Top 20 hit, as his new single “Grenade” climbs six places to No.17 this week. Jason DeRulo’s fifth single “The Sky’s the Limit” is up to a new peak of No.22 thanks to his recent promo visit, and the act who were in the country on a quick trip last week, Good Charlotte, see their new single “Sex on the Radio”, climb up ten places to a new peak of No.35. Rihanna and Drake debuted at No.28 three weeks ago with “What’s My Name?”, which fell to No.33 last week, but rebound up six places to a new peak of No.27 this week. “Stay the Night” for James Blunt leaps up thirty-two places from No.74 to No.42 this week.

 

GLEE REPORT: Those boys from Dalton Academy have leapt up eleven places to No.24 with their rendition of “Teenage Dream” this week, plus one of last weeks mash-ups enters the Top 50 this week, that being the girls’ versions of “Start me Up” / “Livin’ on a Prayer”, which is up sixteen places to No.49. Whilst the other mash-up of “Stop! In the Name of Love” / “Free Your Mind” climbs five places to No.77 giving the Gleesters three Top 100 entries this week. The Gleesters have now racked up 35 Top 100 entries in 2010 (so far), which is a record here in Australia, the previous best record was The Beatles in 1964 with 26 entries. Both of these figures include re-entries.

 

Sydney five piece Boy & Bear had their first chart entry in May 2010 with their EP “With Emperor Antarctica” (HP-63), and now this week they score their first Top 50 entry with “Fall at Your Feet” which debuts at No.34 this week. It’s the first track to be lifted from the new album of Neil & Tim Finn covers entitled “He Will Have His Way”, which you can read more about in the albums section below. The original “Fall at Your Feet” reached No.31 in October 1991.

 

Short Stack debut with their second album this week, and the second single from that album enters at No.43, “We Dance to a Different Disco, Honey”, which the group performed on ‘Hey Hey’ last Saturday night (13th of November). The albums first single, “Planets” is at No.23 this week.

 

Below Top 50: There is only one new peaking track in the lower half of the charts this week, Tinie Tempah’s “Written in the Stars” which climbs a few places to a new peak of No.55. But two Ke$ha tracks are helped up and back into the charts thanks to her visit this past week. “Tik Tok” is up twenty-four places to No.70, and “Your Love is My Drug” re-enters at No.100.

 

Recently The Potbelleez said “Hello” to the Top 20 (HP-19, TW 95), and now this week they debut with their new single “Shake it”, entering at No.63. Ronan Keating sung the lead track from his new album ‘Duet’ on X-Factor this past week, and that duet with Paulini entitled “Believe Again” debuts at No.73. And lastly, French DJ Martin Solveig is joined by Dragonette on his third ARIA chart entry “Hello” which greets the charts at No.86. In 2004 Martin hit No.39 with “Rocking Music”, followed in August 2005 with “Everybody” which hit No.33. He also charted on the physical chart in 2008 with “I Want You”.

 

Albums

 

P!nk lands her third No.1 album in Australia as her “Greatest Hits… So Far” debuts at the top this week, and it knocks Bon Jovi’s GH off the top spot, it becomes the 58th Best of/Greatest Hits package to reach No.1 here. It’s also the 624th No.1 album (1965-2010), and brings P!nk’s No.1 tally of weeks at the top to twelve, putting her in 45th position on the list of ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1 Albums (1965-2010)’, where she sits solo, as no other act has accumulated twelve weeks at the top from three albums. Meat Loaf racked up twelve weeks from two albums, and Billy Joel, Pink Floyd and Robbie Williams have all notched up twelve weeks from four albums, whilst Red Hot Chili Peppers have done it from five No.1 albums.

 

Bon Jovi’s Greatest Hits falls to No.2 this week, becoming their third successive No.1 album to spend a single week at the top of the charts. Last weeks No.2 debut from Susan Boyle, “The Gift”, falls down two places to No.4, and the rest of last weeks Top 5 are all down the lower end of the Top 10 this week, as half of the Top 10 are all debuts. “Speak Now” by Taylor Swift is down to No.8, “Come Around Sundown” by Kings of Leon is at No.9 and ARIA Award Winner “Down the Way” by Angus and Julia Stone hangs on to the No.10 position.

 

Rihanna’s fifth album becomes her highest debuting album of her career here in Australia, “Loud” debuting at No.3 this week. Her third album “Good Girl Gone Bad” debuted at No.6 and took over a year to reach it’s peak of No.2, and second album “A Girl Like Me” took three months to crack the Top 10, peaking at No.9 for a week, whilst her fourth album “Rated R” also took three months to reach its peak of No.12 in March this year. BTW, her first album did not chart here in Australia, and this new album has already produced the No.1 single “Only Girl (in the World)” (TW-6) and the new charting single “What’s My Name?” (TW-27).

 

In October 2005, a compilation album of women singing Neil and Tim Finn (Split Enz / Crowded House) songs entitled “She Will Have Her Way” debuted and peaked at No.2, eventually racking up fifty eight weeks in the Top 100, and selling double platinum. This week sees the entry at No.5 of “He Will Have His Way-The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn”, the same concept album but with male artists and acts performing their songs. First single from the album by Sydney group Boy & Bear entered at No.34, their version of “Fall at Your Feet”, and the album also features songs performed by Paul Kelly, Angus Stone, Chris Cheney, Paul Dempsey, Jimmy Barnes, Art vs Science, Darren Hayes, Dan Sultan and The Sleepy Jackson.

 

Local three piece pop-rock outfit Short Stack scored a No.1 album in August 2009 with their first album “Stack is the New Black”, and this week they enter at No.6 with their new set “This is Bat Country”. Two singles have been lifted from the album so far, the former No.4 single “Planets” (TW-23), and the new entry at No.43 for “We Dance to a Different Disco, Honey”.

 

Ronan Keating has released his seventh studio album entitled “Duet”, which enters this week at No.7 to give him his fifth Top 10 entry. The X-Factor Australia judge wanted to make the album especially for his local fan base, and the albums majority of duets are with local artists such as fellow XF judge Guy Sebastian, plus duets with Brian McFadden, Lee Kernaghan, The McClymonts and Paulini, who together have the lead single from the album “Believe Again”, which the two performed on X-Factor last Monday night. Ronan also duets with international acts such as Lulu, Elton John and LeAnn Rimes. Ronan’s album chart career is listed below…
