Singles

 

Rihanna keeps spanking the No.1 position with her seventh ARIA No.1 single “S&M”, now accumulating a fourth week at the pinnacle. It also helps that she is touring the country at the moment, having played Newcastle and Sydney last week, and has Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth this week. It now takes her tally of weeks at No.1 to 34 weeks, two weeks behind Madonna’s 36 weeks, and Rihanna still holds the crown as the act with ‘The Most Weeks at No.1, this Century’.

 

Universal Music held the Top 4 tracks last week and scored the highest new entry. This week they score the Top 5 singles, and that highest new entry from last week zooms up to No.2 this week, Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull with “On the Floor”. Jennifer has not been this high in the charts since March 2002’s “All I Have” (with LL Cool J) hit No.2, and if this song goes to No.1 it’ll be thirteen years since she has achieved that position (her first single “If You Had My Love” hit No.1 in the first week of July 1999). It’s also the second No.2 single for Pitbull, having been guest vocalist on Enrique’s “I Like it” in July of 2010.

 

With J Lo zooming up the Top 10, it pushes last weeks Top 5 all down one position with Lady GaGa’s “Born This Way” to No.3, The BEP’s “Just Can’t Get Enough” at No.4, Diddy and Dirty Money’s “Coming Home” at No.5 and Alexis Jordan’s “Happiness” down one to No.6. Avril Lavigne’s new album “Goodbye Lullaby” is out this week, and the first single from that album “What the Hell” holds at No.7 in its seventh week on the charts. Former No.1 “Dirty Talk” for Wynter Gordon drops two places to No.8, and Usher’s “More” is down one place to No.9. Jumping up thirty-four places from its debut last week at No.44 is Bruno Mars’ now fifth Top 10 appearance “The Lazy Song” at No.10 this week, and it scores the biggest jump within the Top 50, but the second biggest leap in the Top 100.

 

MOVERS & PEAKERS: Ke$ha is headed for her seventh Top 10 appearance (6 solo and 1 guest vocal) as her latest single “Blow” jumps up seven places to a new peak of No.13. Right behind her, and up five places, is Lupe Fiasco’s now highest achieving ARIA Singles Chart entry, as “The Show Goes On” is at No.14 this week. Kanye West and Rihanna take their “All of the Lights” up five places to No.26, and right behind them is another power couple. Dr Dre and Eminem, up twelve places to No.27 with “I Need a Doctor”, whilst a third double-feature-act of Ian Carey and Snoop Dogg take their song “Last Night” up seven places to a new peak of No.27.

The theme to the Disney film “Gnomeo and Juliet” by We the Kings entitled “Check Yes Juliet (Run Baby Run)” cracks into the Top 50 at No.42, up fourteen places from last week, and re-entering the Top 50 at No.48 helped by a Glee version is the highest climbing track of the week, My Chemical Romance with “Sing”, up thirty-nine places.

 

British female singer/rapper Jessie J drops out of the Top 100 with her first single “Do it Like a Dude” (HP-76, WI-4), but she more than makes up for that by scoring the highest new entry of the week at No.22 with “Price Tag” featuring guest vocalist B.o.B. Plus her debut album “Who You Are” is also out this week, so this new single could help it to a high debut.

 

Las Vegas group Panic at the Disco have been trimmed from a quartet to a duo, and are due to release their third album “Vices and Virtues” in late March, and the first taste from that album debuts at No.39 entitled “The Ballad of Mona Lisa”. It’s their sixth ARIA Singles Chart appearance, having last appeared on the charts in August 2009 with the No.69 single “New Perspective”.

 

Florida based dance duo LMFAO score a fifth chart appearance by debuting at No.43 with “Party Rock Anthem” featuring Lauren Bennet and GoonRock. It’s their third Top 50 chart appearance, having scored previously with “I’m in Miami Bitch” (HP-27, Jan 2010) and were guest vocalists on David Guetta’s “Getting’ Over You” (HP-5, peak June 2010).

 

Below Top 50: There are five new peaks in the lower fifty this week first up is Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”, up twelve places to No.55, whilst she also debuts with her current UK No.1 single “Someone Like You” at No.91. The Wombats climb one place to BNo.60 with “Jump Into the Fog”, and Jebediah fly up five places to No.64 with “She’s Like a Comet”. The John Butler Trio climb nine places to a new peak of No.69 with “I’d Do Anything”, and also climbing one place is Skrillex with “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites”, up to No.87.

 

Brian McFadden scores his ninth ARIA Singles Chart entry this week by debuting at No.61 with the first taste from his fourth album entitled “Just the Way You Are (Drunk at the Bar), which features both anthemic dance sounds and banjo!

 

The fourth single from 30 Seconds to Mars’ third album “This is War” (TW-62) is entitled “Hurricane 2.0”, which debuts at No.67 and features guest vocals by Kanye West. Melbourne band Architecture in Helsinki debut at No.70 with their third chart entry entitled “Contact High”, the first single from their April due fifth album “Moment Bends”. Right behind them at No.71 is another Melbourne act, singer Zoe Badwi scores her second chart entry with “Accidents Happen”. Chris Brown’s “Yeah 3x” drops nine places this week, probably because people were buying his new single “Look at Me Now”, which debuts at No.75 and features guest vocals from Lil’ Wayne and Busta Rhymes, and is the second single from his soon due album “F.A.M.E.”.

 

Glee Report: Five singles in the Top 100 this week from the Gleesters, plus they also score the biggest drop of the week, as the mash-up of “Thriller”/”Heads Will Roll” drops down thirty-three places to No.59, but is still their highest placed single this week. Last weeks episode was the Justin Bieber featured show, and tracks from that episode enter this week with “Somebody to Love” debuting at No.68 and their version of “Baby” debuting at No.90. “Sing” by My Chemical Romance was helped by the Glee gang performing it in that episode, and their version debuts at No.79. Plus talking of Justin Bieber he re-enters this week at No.72 with the former No.38 single “Never Say Never”, being the lead track from his new live same-titled movie and remix album/soundtrack.

 

Albums

 

Michael Buble’s tour finished here this past week, and it has helped to keep his “Crazy Love” album at the top for a second run of three weeks (he initially stayed at the top for three weeks in November 2009), giving the album is sixth overall week at the top, and taking his overall tally of weeks at No.1 to thirteen, that’s now equal with the amount of time Led Zeppelin, Midnight Oil and James Blunt have achieved at the No.1 Albums position here in Australia (1965-2011), making them equal fortieth on the list of ‘Most Weeks at No.1: Albums’.

 

Four weeks ago local group Cut Copy aimed to score the first new No.1 album of the year with “Zonoscope” (TW-29), now another local dance act Art vs Science also just miss out on the No.1 spot by debuting at No.2 with their debut album “The Experiment”. Their debut pushes down current tourist Rihanna’s “Loud” back to No.3, whilst Bruno Mars holds at No.4 with “Doo-Wops and Hooligans”. P!nk’s “Greatest Hits… So Far” continues its gradual movement down the charts, as it drops two places to No.5 this week.

 

Now with two singles in the Top 100, Adele’s current No.1 UK album “21” is at No.6 here, with Bon Jovi’s “Greatest Hits” set spending its seventeenth week in the Top 10 at No.7. Three returnees to the Top 10 follow, with Kanye West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” up nine places to No.8, Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” up three places to No.9 and The Black Eyed Peas continue their yo-yo chart run as “The Beginning” reclaims the No.10 spot for a second time.

 

MOVERS & PEAKERS: There is only ONE new peak in the entire Top 100 this week, Alan Jackson’s “34 Numbers Ones” which is up eleven places to No.32. But other albums that climb this week are Florence + The Machines “Between Two Lungs”, up eight places to No.15. Kasey Chambers flies back up twenty-six with her former No.3 album “Little Bird” to No.38 this week, Lady GaGa’s “The Fame Monster” re-enters the Top 50 at No.41, up thirteen from last week, and due to their current tour, Iron Maiden re-enter the Top 50 at No.47 (also up thirteen places) with their current album “The Final Frontier”.

 

Justin Bieber scores the second highest new entry of the week as his remix album “Never Say Never – The Remixes” debuts at No.19. The album features seven tracks, some from his “My Worlds” album (TW-31) and others from his previous work with Rascal Flats, Usher, Chris Brown and Kanye West.

 

The second album for Swedish singer Lykke Li becomes her first ARIA Albums Chart entry, debuting at No.30 is her new set “Wounded Rhymes”, featuring the lead single “I Follow Rivers”.

 

The very first Queens of the Stone Age album released in September 1998 never made a dent on the ARIA Album Charts at the time. But now that it’s been re-issued with bonus tracks, and a newer saucier cover (the original was fairly raunchy… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens_of_the...Age_%28album%29 ) it finally enters our charts this week at No.34. Now all they need is for the second album “R” to re-enter and hit the Top 40, and all of their albums will have achieved high chart success, their entire ARIA Chart history is below…

Sugarland’s appearance on the Graham Norton show last week has helped their album “The Incredible Machine” to re-enter at No.78.
