Singles

 

Rihanna stays put at No.1 for a second week with her seventh No.1 single “S&M”. This now takes her overall tally of weeks at No.1 to 32, moving her ahead of the tie she achieved last week with Kylie Minogue’s 31 weeks. This places her at 16th on the list of ‘Accumulated Weeks at No.1 (1940-2011)’, with her next nearest rival being Madonna’s 36 weeks at the top of the Australian charts.

 

Former No.1 for Wynter Gordon, “Dirty Talk” holds at No.2 for a second week, but racing into the Top 3 in only its second week on the charts is the new track for the Black Eyed Peas, “Just Can’t Get Enough”, which is up sixteen places to land at No.3 and becomes the group’s fifteenth Top 10 single. The BEP’s jump pushes down rest of last weeks Top 5; all falling one spot each are “Tonight” by Enrique Iglesias to No.4, “Happiness” by Alexis Jordan to No.5 and Katy Perry’s “E.T.” to No.6 this week.

 

Usher’s 23rd charting single in fifteen years now becomes his twelfth Top 10 hit as his latest track “More” jumps up six places to land inside the Top 10 at No.7. With his tour here in March this track should maintain a high chart life for several weeks to come, plus his previous two singles move up this week, “DJ…” jumping back into the Top 50 at No.44, and former No.1 “OMG” re-entering at No.84 this week. Avril Lavigne’s “What the Hell” stays put at No.8 this week, another tourist for March is Chris Brown, who sees his current single “Yeah 3x” drop three places to No.9, and only down one place to No.10 is David Guetta and Rihanna’s “Who’s That Chick”, meaning Rihanna bookends the Top 10 this week.

 

MOVERS & PEAKERS: Martin Solveig continues his climb up the charts with his third Top 40 (and highest placed) single “Hello”, up one place to No.13 this week. Four weeks ago Afrojack and Eva Simons peaked at No.17 with “Take Over Control”, this week they regain their former peak by climbing back up four places to No.17, and right behind them, and jumping up six places, are the Far East Movement and their new track “Rocketeer”, now at No.18.

Diddy – Dirty Money’s track “Coming Home” is up six places to a new peak of No.25 followed at No.26 by New Zealand act The Naked & Famous who climb four places to a new peak with their track “Young Blood”. The third in a row new peak is at No.27, and sees Kanye West and Rihanna’s “All of the Lights” up two places, whilst Kanye’s other charting track “Runaway” also scores a new peak after eighteen weeks on the charts, it’s up to No.46 this week.

Lupe Fiasco equals his best ever solo peak as his new track “The Show Goes On” jumps up twelve places to No.32; he reached that peak with his 2007 track “Superstar”. Tim Berg is up five places with his track “Seek Bromance”, and joining the Top 50 at No.50 is Birds of Tokyo latest single “Wild at Heart”, up eight places this week.

 

Dr. Dre’s third solo album “Detox” is due in early April this year, and the second single from the forthcoming album scores the highest new entry of the week, as “I Need a Doctor” featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey debuts at No.43. First single from the album was “Kush” featuring Snoop Dogg and Akon which hit No.87 in November of 2010, and Dre’s entire Australia chart history is listed below, which shows this is his fourth Top 50 entry…

Plan B takes his first ARIA entry “She Said” up to a new peak of No.70, and jumping up seventeen places to land at No.76 is Jessie J’s “Do it Like a Dude”.

 

The Laidback Luke remixes of the former No.1 single “Dirty Talk” by Wynter Gordon debuts at No.77 this week. Coming in at No.80 is the first ARIA Singles Chart entry for LA, California band Foster the People, who enter with their new track “Helena Beat”. They also debut at No.90 with “Pumped up Kicks”, which made No.32 on the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2010.

 

This year’s Soundwave Festival starts in early March her in Australia, and Florida based group We the Kings will be appearing, and they debut at No.89 with their US 2008 single “Check Yes Juliet (Run Baby Run)”.

 

The John Butler Trio score a fourth chart entry from his latest album “April Uprising” (TW-48), as “I’d Do Anything” debuts at No.91. Melbourne rapper 360 (Matt Colwell) debuts at No.94 with his first chart entry “Just Got Started” featuring Pez, and local dance act Bag Raiders score their third Top 100 entry at No.96 with their new track “Sunlight”.

 

Albums

 

Thirteen weeks is a looonnng time to stay at No.1 nowadays, as proof that the last album to spend thirteen consecutive weeks at No.1 was 1982’83’s “Love Over Gold” by Dire Straits which stayed at the top for fourteen straight weeks. In the 2000’s only two albums scored more accumulated weeks at the top (but not in consecutive weeks), “Only By the Night” from Kings of Leon (14 weeks total) and Delta Goodrem’s “Innocent Eyes” (29 weeks total). So for P!nk’s “Greatest Hits… So Far” to stay at the top for a thirteenth week is somewhat of a miracle, and puts this album in equal 24th place for ‘Longest Run at the Top’ with three soundtracks. The 1968 soundtrack to the film “A Man & a Woman (un Homme et une Femme), the 1978 soundtrack to “Saturday Night Fever”, plus another soundtrack from that year that has a special record all of its own: “Grease”.

The “Grease” Soundtrack stayed at the top in 1978 for nine weeks, then when the Grease Megamix was No.1 in 1991, it helped the album back to No.1 for a further three weeks, becoming the only album to top the charts twice on two separate chart runs (Michael Jackson did this later with “History”). Then in 1998 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the movie, the Soundtrack again reached No.1 for a single week in August to takes it’s overall tally at No.1 to thirteen weeks, and make it the ONLY album to top our charts on THREE separate occasions.

So that is where P!nk’s GH sits in the scheme of things this week, but P!nk herself has now accumulated 24 weeks at the top, placing her on equal weeks at No.1 with Celine Dion, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Rolling Stones, and if she stays a further week, she’ll be tying with a local and overseas super groups.

 

With Rihanna appearing at No.1 on the singles chart, a pending tour, plus she has SIX singles all in the Top 50 this week, it has all helped to push her current album “Loud” up to a new peak of No.2 this week, one place higher that it’s original debut placing last November.

 

Highest new entry of the week is the third album for Australian electronic group Cut Copy entitled “Zonoscope”, which debuts at No.3 this week, two places lower than their previous album, “In Ghost Colours”, which debuted at the top at the end of March in 2008.

 

The “Burlesque” Soundtrack falls from its peak of No.2 last week to No.4 this week, pushing down Bruno Mars’ album “Doo-Wops and Hooligans” to No.5 this week. The newly repackaged ‘Hollywood’ edition of Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love” album jumps up sixteen places to land at No.6 this week, returning to the Top 10 for the first time since May 2010 (Mother’s Day sales), and seeing as he started his National tour in Brisbane this past week, expect this position to improve, plus the track “Hollywood” re-enters at No.93 this week, two places lower than it’s former peak of No.91, so this too could rise next week.

 

Greatest Hits collections for Bon Jovi and Guy Sebastian are at No.7 and No.8 respectively, and after two weeks at No.3, Adele’s “21” is down six places to No.9 this week. And holding onto their Top 10 placement for another week is Angus & Julia Stone’s “Down the Way” at No.10, whilst their new entry from last week “Memories of an Old Friend” is up to a new peak of No.57 this week.

 

MOVERS & PEAKERS: With the jump into the Top 10 for their latest single, The Black Eyed Peas latest album “The Beginning” is up five places to No.11 this week. Current tours are having great sales effects this week, as Train’s “Save Me, San Francisco” re-enters the Top 20 at No.19. Sting reaches a new peak of No.24 (up fifteen places) with his “Symphonicities” album, and Plan B jumps eleven places to land at No.25 with his album “The Defamation of Strickland Banks”. Also touring at the moment and scoring new peaks are The Naked & Famous who climb to a new peak of No.29 with their debut album “Passive Me, Aggressive You”, and cracking the Top 50 for the first time are Two Door Cinema Club with their “Tourist History” album, up twelve places to a new peak of No.44. Also Bob Dylan just announced a national tour, and this helps his album “The Essential Bob Dylan” to jump up twenty-five places to No.50 this week.

 

Mike Skinner, better known as The Streets, debuts at No.49 with his fifth album “Computers and Blues”, which features the lead single “Going Through Hell”. Of his five albums this is his third Top 50 entry, his entire ARIA Album chart history listed below…
