Singles

 

The Black Eyed Peas climb back to the top of the ARIA Singles Chart this week with "The Time (Dirty Bit)", notching up its second week at the top and taking the BEP's tally at the top to 30 accumulated weeks, equaling the weeks spent at the top that Rihanna has achieved. If they’re again at the top next week they’ll tie Kylie Minogue’s 31 weeks at No.1. The run at the top could be bolstered by Glee's use of the song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" in Monday night’s episode, and their version of the song enters in lower 100 this week also.

 

Guy Sebastian leaps into the Top 10 from his debut of No.11 last week to No.2 this week with "Who's That Girl". If this song takes over the top spot next week (or in the future), it will mark a very unique record for Guy Sebastian, something which I will talk about if it happens. Plus it’s also Eve’s equal highest position, having peaked here in February 2005 as guest vocalist on Gwen Stefani’s “Rich Girl”. Katy Perry's "Firework" holds at No.3 for a second week, and last week's No.1 for Ke$ha "We R Who We R" falls down three places to land at No.4 this week, pushing "Like a G6" for Far East Movement down one place to No.5.

 

Chris Brown climbs a place to a new peak of No.6 with "Yeah 3x", and right behind climbing ten places to No.7 is the second solo Top 10 entry (and fourth overall) for Bruno Mars, as "Grenade" explodes into the Top 10 this week. Former No.1's "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk and "Only Girl (in the World)" by Rihanna are at No.8 and No.9 respectively, and Nelly holds onto the No.10 position with "Just a Dream", which means Altiyan Childs falls out of the Top 10 after a week with "Somewhere in the World", which is at No.11.

 

NEW PEAKS: James Blunt rises two places to a new peak of No.12 with "Stay the Night", David Guetta and Rihanna halve their position from last week by climbing eighteen places to No.18 with "Who's That Chick", and Rihanna's other latest track "What's My Name" is also up to a new peak, it climbs three places to No.22. Willow climbs a couple of places to No.19 with "Whip My Hair", and the next new peak is not until No.36 where Taio Cruz and Kylie Minogue climb with "Higher", up a single place.

Almost halving last weeks position is Nelly with "Liv Tonight", which is up 38 places to No.39 making it three Top 40 entries from his "5.0" album. Also climbing into the Top 50 is Martin Solveig with "Hello", up twenty places to No.48 this week.

 

GLEE REPORT: The marriage episode of Glee screened last Monday night, and from that episode the bridal entrance song is the highest new entry this week, debuting at No.27 is "Marry You". The original by Bruno Mars also enters the charts at No.50, and their version of another Bruno song also debuts this week, his former No.1 single "Just the Way You Are" by the Glee gang enters at No.47. Last weeks two big entries for the group don't drop as hard as normal, with "Singin' in the Rain"/"Umbrella" only down six places to No.29 and "Forget You" with Gwenyth Paltrow dropping eight places to No.32. Monday nights episode features the hit from Dirty Dancing, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" as part of the groups performance at regional finals, and that version sneaks in at No.85 this week, so expect it to jump up the charts next week.

 

Perth rapper Drapht scores his first Top 40 chart hit and second ARIA Top 100 entry, as his new single "Rapunzel" debuts at No.37, the lead track from his January 2011 due fourth album "The Life of Riley". His previous chart effort was the No.92 single from February 2009, “Jimmy Recard”. And another local act who debut at No.46 is Syndicate with "Shout", a five piece local outfit who are currently based in Los Angeles, and this is their first chart entry.

 

Below Top 50: Train pull up to a new peak of No.61 with "Save Me, San Francisco" and that is the only new peak in lower half of the Top 100. Kanye West rebounds twenty-nine places to No.59 with "Runaway", whilst The Black Eyed Peas still retain the oldest song in the Top 100 with "I Gotta Feeling" up seven places to No.75 in its 78th week on the chart.

 

U.S. female RnB singer Wynter Gordon debuts at No.77 with her debut single "Dirty Talk", previously she has been songwriting for such acts as Danity Kane, Flo Rida and Jennifer Lopez, and this song was US Billboard No.1 Club track in July. A one-off Christmas single by Coldplay entitled "Christmas Lights" enters at No.86, and the third chart entry for local dance act Art vs. Science called "Finally See Our Way", debuts at No.98.

 

Albums

 

P!nk's "Greatest Hits... So Far" is the choice for Christmas stockings this year, as her best of set remains at the top of the album charts for a third week, plus picks up an instant Double Platinum certification. This holds Susan Boyle at No.2 for a third non-consecutive week (2-4-2-2) with her second album "The Gift", whilst the other big best of for this season, Bon Jovi's "Greatest Hits" set holds at No.4, and last weeks No.3 for Ronan Keating, his "Duet" album is down to No.5 this week.

 

Taylor Swift holds at No.7 again this week with "Speak Now", Rihanna's "Loud" album is down three places to No.8, and down one place to No.10 is Guy Sebastian's best of set "Twenty Ten" which held onto the Top 10 spot thanks to its new single “Who’s That Girl” bulleting up the chart this week.

 

The official fourth Glee soundtrack collection (eighth album to chart) "The Music: Volume 4" debuts at No.3 this week to score the highest new entry of the week, plus from the list below you can see that (*) they have five albums inside the Top 100 this week, and that this is their seventh Top 10 hit. Their chart efforts so far are listed below...

Radio personalities and comedians Hamish and Andy said goodbye to their listeners in the past week, and to commemorate their FIVE years on the air, they have released a best of entitled "Celebrating 50 Glorious Years", which debuts at No.6 this week. Their December 2008 album "Unessentail Listening" debuted at No.5 and peaked at No.4 for three weeks following its entry.

 

The Black Eyed Peas enter at No.9 with their sixth album "The Beginning", and unlike last year’s album "The E.N.D." (June 2009), it does not debut at the top of the charts, but they are blessed to have re-topped the singles chart this week with the albums lead track "The Time (Dirty Bit)".

 

With a new Top 10 hit and a new entry this week, Bruno Mars' album "Doo-Wops and Hooligans" jumps back up thirteen places to No.26. The inevitable for Mariah Carey's new Christmas collection "Merry Christmas II You" turns around and scores a new peak of No.32 this week, up fifteen places. And up again this week is "Living Next Door to Alice", a new compilation for 70's soft-rockers Smokie who toured the country throughout November, which climbs fourteen places to No.36.

 

The second album for British songstress Duffy is entitled "Endlessly", and it debuts at No.27 this week. Her debut album "Rockferry" originally debuted at No.18 and took almost a year to reach its peak of No.6 in of March 2009.
