Singles

 

Born in Bruges, Belgium and now living in Melbourne, Australia, Wouter (Wally) De Backer is better known as the artist/performer Gotye, who this week scores his first national No.1 single in Australia with “Somebody That I Used to Know”, becoming the 982nd No.1 single here (1940 to 2011). “Somebody…” is also the 146th No.1 by an Australian act/artist and the second for the year, as Guy Sebastian scored a second week at No.1 on the 10th of January with “Who’s That Girl”. But Gotye is the first NEW Male artist to reach No.1 since Wes Carr and “You” in December of 2008, and becomes the 35th Australian Male Solo Artist to hit the top spot.

 

“Somebody That I Used to Know” becomes the fourth No.1 for record label Eleven Music, their previous being two for Missy Higgins (2004 and 2007) and Silverchair (also 2007). And it’s the first time that a song starting with ‘Some’ has knocked off another ‘Some’ song, as Adele’s “Someone Like you” drops to No.3 this week after seven weeks at No.1. It’s also the third “Somebody” song to hit the top, the other two being “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” by Connie Francis (3 weeks from 16-July-1960) and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” for Whitney Houston (5 weeks from 15-June-1987).

 

This new chart-popularity for Gotye has already resulted in his second album “Like Drawing Blood” scoring an all-time high on the album charts, it peaked at No.19 last week (TW-22), but his first album “Boardface” makes it’s first ever Top 100 entry at No.93 this week. And with his new album “Making Mirrors’ being released at the end of this week (Aug-19) we could see him dominate the top of both charts in a couple of weeks.

 

With Gotye and Adele swapping places from 1 to 3 (and vice-versa), it leaves Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera at No.2 for a third week with “Moves like Jagger”. But jumping up six places to No.4 is Jessica Mauboy and her new single “Inescapable”, which becomes her third highest charting single and, the last time we saw her up this high was with January 2009’s former No.1 single “Burn”. LMFAO manage a nineteenth week in the Top 5 (and Top 10, this is their lowest T10 placing so far) with “Party Rock Anthem”, now matching the amount of weeks achieved by only three other songs on the ARIA Charts; “If I Could Turn Back Time” by Cher (1989), “Where is the Love” for The Black Eyed Peas (2003) and “Low” for Flo Rida and T-Pain (2008), placing the song now equal sixth in the tally of ‘Most Weeks in the Top 10’ (BTW, the most ever achieved has been 24 weeks).

 

Scoring a new peak of No.6 is Nicki Minaj and “Super Bass”, whilst her album also hits the Top 20 for the first time this week. It now matches the peak that her other T10 appearance achieved, “Where Them Girls at” for David Guetta, for which she was a guest vocalist along with Flo Rida. Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” drops down a place to No.7 this week, and holding at her peak of No.8 is Nicole Scherzinger’s “Right There” featuring 50 Cent. Christina Perri takes the biggest tumble inside the Top 10 this week, her song “Jar of Hearts” is down four places to No.9. And breaking out of the ‘No.1-followed-by-No.11’ mould is LMFAO, who move up a place to No.10 with their new single “Champagne Showers”.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: A month ago (July 11th) Pitbull and Marc Anthony were as low as No.79 on Pit’s song “Rain Over Me”, but this week the pair jump up six places to a new peak of No.11, and possibly next week will slide into the Top 10. Calvin Harris continues to scale new heights each week with his latest track “Bounce”, which this week rises up two places to No.14, and the third new peak within the Top 20 this week is the biggest leaping single within the Top 50, Rihanna’s newie “Cheers (Drink to That)”, which jumps up twenty eight places to No.18 and becomes her “Loud” albums (TW-28) fifth consecutive Top 20 hit.

Canada’s These Kids Wear Crowns and their track “Jumpstart”, along with “Cinema” by Benny Benassi, “I Need a Dollar” by Aloe Blacc and “Mr. Saxobeat” for Alexandra Stan all move up two places apiece to new peaks of No.23, No.26, No.28 and No.30 respectively. Three tracks leap into the Top 50 this week, firstly is Marvin Priest and Wynter Gordon on his new single “Take Me Away”, up thirty-six places to No.32. The second biggest T100 leap of the week comes from Hot Chelle Rae and their new single “Tonight Tonight”, which is up forty places to land at No.43. And lastly, up six places to No.48 are Selena Gomez & the Scene with “Love You like a Love Song”, now her second Top 50 hit, and two places lower than her first T50 entry, “Naturally” (HP46, Feb 2010).

 

David Guetta’s fifth studio album “Nothing but the Beat” is due out at the end of August, and it has already produced two Top 20 singles, “Where Them Girls at” (TW-28, HP-6) and “Little Bad Girl” (TW-17, HP-15). Starting last week, he is planning on releasing one new track a week from the album, and this week we see the first of those debut at No.31, “Titanium” featuring local singer Sia. This new track becomes David’s fourteenth charting single here in Australia, and Sia’s eighth.

 

Starting to air on Foxtel Australia this coming week (Tues 16th) is the new locally made TV series SLiDE about the lives of five Brisbane teenagers who are moving from their teen years into adulthood. The theme song from the show debuts at No.35 this week entitled “Change Your Heart” and performed by Shave, and is a sample of the No.11 single from 1980 for UK act The Korgis. Whilst several versions of this song have been done over the years (see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody%27s..._Learn_Sometime ) this is only the second version (other than the original) to chart here.

 

Lower 50: With the debut album for Boy & Bear scoring the highest new entry of the week, the albums current single “Feeding Line” scores the biggest climb within the T100 this week, it’s up forty-one places to No.55. Just above them at No.54 and scoring a new peak is the Eskimo Joe and “Love is a Drug”. Also scoring new lower fifty peaks this week is Lupe Fiasco, up to No.52 with “Out of My Head”, Lady Antebellum are up twelve places to No.60 with their new track “Just a Kiss”, and reaching new heights of No.64, No.66 and No.67 respectively are “Switch Me On” for Shannon Noll, “Pumped Up Kicks” for Foster the People and “Love, Love, Love” for Avalanche City.

 

Lady GaGa makes an entrance onto the charts (not quite as grandiose as the last three singles) at No.56 this week with her fifth chart entry from her “Born This Way” album (TW-6) entitled “You and I”. The previous four singles have been the title track “Born This Way” (HP-1, TW-42), “Judas” (HP-6, TW-93), “The Edge of Glory” (HP-2, TW-15) and “Hair” (HP-20, May 2011). This new track becomes her eighteenth chart entry here in Australia.

 

Philippines born and now Melbourne, Australia based singer-songwriter and produced Israel Cruz makes his fourth ARIA Top 100 entry at No.70 with his new single “Party Up”. In the past he has charted as just Israel, the biggest being 2005's No.18 single "Old Skool Luv". Two other local acts also score debuts this week, with The Jezabels achieving their second chart entry at No.91 with “Endless Summer”, and Brisbane based singer Washington is in at No.100 with “Holy Moses”, her fourth T100 entry, and the first taste of new material from her album which she is recording at the moment.

 

The two other new entries this week are at No.89, “Lift Off” for Jay-Z and Kanye West and features vocals from Jay-Z’s wife Beyonce. The track is taken from their new album “Watch the Throne” which debuts inside the Top 10 this week and also features the track “Otis” (TW-65) which debuted last week. Good Charlotte score a fourth single from their latest album “Cardiology” this week as the track “1979” debuts at No.92.

 

Albums

 

Adele’s run at the top of the ARIA Album Charts continues for a fourteenth accumulated week at No.1, as her “21” album has now become the twenty-second equal longest run at the top of the Australian Album Charts (1965-2011), the equal second longest running No.1 album this century, and now the longest running No.1 album this decade. This is how it breaks down…

 

Sharing an equal 14 weeks at No.1 has been “So Far So Good” by Bryan Adams (from 21-Nov-1993) and “Only By the Night” for Kings of Leon (from 29-Sept-2008), which is also the album that is now equal second longest run at No.1 for this century, as only Delta Goodrem’s “Innocent Eyes” with 29 weeks at the top far off in front. And “21” now surpasses P!nk’s 13 weeks at No.1 with her “Greatest Hits…so far” album from last December to be the longest run at the top this decade. Adele is still within the Top 5 with her first album “19” which is down one place to No.4 this week.

 

In between the Adele’s we have the two new albums entering this week. First up scoring the highest new entry at No.2 is five-piece Sydney band Boy & Bear with their debut album “Moonfire”, which the current single “Feeding Line” jumps back up the singles chart forty-one places to No.55 this week. Landing right behind at No.3 is the collaboration album between Jay-Z and Kanye West entitled “Watch the Throne”. Jay and Kanye first worked together on Jay-Z’s first “Blueprint” album in 2001, and have since charted together on the singles chart with the track “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna (HP-9, peaked Oct 2009), and this new album has already garnered two chart entries (see above).

 

LMFAO are at No.5 on both the singles and albums chart this week, their album “Sorry for Party Rocking” is down a place to No.5 this week. Lady GaGa’s “Born This Way” drops down four places to No.6 after spending the past three weeks at No.2. Bruno Mars and his album “Doo-Wops and Hooligans” is down two places to No.7, and is spending its 35th week inside the Top 10, making it now sit at equal 24th on the list of ‘Albums with the Most Weeks in the Top 10’. It’s tied with Shakira’s “Laundry Service” (2002) and The Cranberries’ “No Need to Argue” (1994).

 

Amy Winehouse holds at No.8 with “Back to Black”, and falling four places to No.10 is Christina Perri’s “lovestrong’ album. But debuting in-between those two albums at No.9 is the fifth album for US heavy metal band Trivium entitled “In Waves”. This now becomes the bands second Top 10 entry here, as their fourth album “Shogun” (Oct 2008) debuted and peaked at No.4, whilst their third album “The Crusade” (Oct 2006) made it to No.14 upon initial entry.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: The Ten Tenors jump up sixteen places to a new peak of No.17 with their latest album “Double Platinum”, and also scoring a new peak inside the Top 20 this week is Nicki Minaj and her album “Pink Friday”, which is up three places to No.19. Architecture in Helsinki rise fourteen places to No.29 with their latest album “Moment Bends”, and another local act, Drapht, is up fifteen places to No.33 with his album “The Life of Riley”.

 

The Glee 3D Concert opened in cinemas last Thursday, so expect the No.14 debut of the soundtrack this week to have changed by next week. Melbourne three-piece band Calling All Cars debut at No.20 with their second album entitled “Dancing with a Dead Man”, beating the No.72 peak that their debut set “Hold, Hold, Fire” achieved in March of 2010.

 

Italian teenage soprano trio il Volo debut at No.23 with their self-titled debut album, thanks to their whirlwind tour this past week, and also entering with their self-titled debut album is local singer Zoe Badwi, who is in at No.35 this week, and lastly local Melbourne Post-Hardcore band Dream On, Dreamer see their first album “Heartbound” enter at No.38.

 

For the first time on CD is the second ever locally-performed No.1 album “Daddy Who? Daddy Cool!” by Ross Wilson’s third group Daddy Cool. The 40th anniversary edition of the album debuts at No.36, and originally spent seven weeks at No.1 from 30-Aug-1971, the same week that the albums lead single “Eagle Rock” was spending its tenth and final week at the top of the Australian Singles chart.

 

In the lower half of the albums chart this week, Katie Noonan her jazz band Elixir debut at No.64 with their second album “First Seed Ripening”, whilst their first album “Elixir” debuted and peaked at No.24 in May 2003. Regurgitator debut at No.91 with their seventh album “SuperHappyFuntimesFriends” and after eight years, Gotye’s debut album “Boardface” (2003) makes it’s ARIA debut at No.93, helped no doubt by his new No.1 single this week.

 

Carrie Underwood still hanging on in the top 40 albums! :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Also good to see Goyte/Kimbra number 1 in the singles, something different! And yay for Jessica Mauboy getting another top 5 as well!

Sorry Adele, 16 more weeks to go at #1 before you can snatch the record from 'the greatest album of all time' :D

 

I've heard the Gotye song but it doesn't do anything for me, unexpected #1 though!
