Singles

 

Gotye stays at No.1 for a second week with his song "Somebody That I Used to know", which is now also a Top 10 hit in The Netherlands and Belguim. He also scores a couple of big leaps on the albums chart this week too, as his second album "Like Drawing Blood" leaps nine places to a new peak of No.13, and his first album "Boardface" is up a massive forty-one places to No.52 in only it's second week on the albums chart. His new album "Making Mirrors" came out on Friday and was No.1 on iTunes by Saturday afternoon, so we could see Gotye doing an Adele with two of his album in the Top 10 next week, maybe three. He also debuts at No.82 with the track "Heart's a Mess" (released 2007) a track from "Like Drawing Blood", and the remixed version of his second album “Mixed Blood” (HP-64, July 2007; then HP-44 Nov 2007 after his ARIA Award) re-enters at No.86 giving him three albums within the Top 100 this week.

 

The top four singles all stay put this week, with Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera holding at No.2 for a fourth week, and former No.1 for Adele" Someone Like You" at No.3, with Jessica Mauboy at No.4 for a second week. Adele returns to the Top 5 by moving up two places with "Rolling in the Deep", helped possibly by the high rotation the ads for Underbelly: Razor during the past week, and it’s showing on TV on Sunday night (the 21st of August).

 

Nicki Minaj with "Super Bass" and Nicole Scherzinger's "Right There" hold their peaks of No.6 and No.8 respectively, but scoring a new peak of No.9 is LMFAO's "Champagne Showers", whilst their former No.1 "Party Rock Anthem" is down two places to No.7 in its twentieth week in the Top 10, now making it equal fifth for ‘Most Weeks in the Top 10’, which is now equal with Silverchair’s first single “Tomorrow” (from October 1994) which is the only other 20-week-er. Rounding out the Top 10 at No.10 is a song that leaps up twenty-one places, David Guetta and Sia with "Titanium". This becomes Sia's first Top 10 single, and David's ninth Top 10 entry.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Calvin Harris is up one place to a new peak of No.13 with "Bounce", so if it keeps moving at this pace it should be in the Top 10 by September. Rihanna's drinking song "Cheers (Drink to that)" climbs four places to No.14, but jumping into the Top 20 are two songs; "Jumpstart" for These Kids Wear Crowns, up six places to No.17, and climbing eight places to No.19 is Aloe Blacc's "I Need a Dollar".

Benny Benasi holds his No.26 peak for a second week with "Cinema", but up fourteen places to No.29 is Hot Chelle Rae's "Tonight, Tonight" now their first Top 40 hit. Four songs move up into the Top 50 this week, the first being Lady GaGa's "You and I", which is up twenty-two places to No.34. With Eskimo Joe scoring the highest new entry of the week on the albums chart, the first single from their new album "Love is a Drug" is up sixteen places to No.38 this week. Last October, The Jezabels hit No.40 with their first chart entry "Dark Storm (EP)", this week they leap fifty-two places to No.39 with their second ARIA Chart entry "Endless Summer". And up twenty places to No.45 is the first single from Jay-Z's and Kanye's collaboration album "Watch the Throne" (TW-2) entitled "Otis", which also gives the songs guest vocalist only his second Top 50 chart appearance. Otis Redding only ever made it to No.10 with “(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay” in 1968

 

Jason DeRulo's second album "Future History" is released at the end of September, but the second single to be lifted from it "It Girl" debuts at No.16 this week. The first single from the new set was "Don't Wanna Go Home" (HP-5), which falls nine places to No.21 this week. It becomes his seventh charting single overall.

 

Cobra Starship score the only other Top 50 debut this week, coming in at No.31 with their second ARIA Singles Chart entry "You Make Me Feel...", featuring American singer/actress Sabi on guest vocals. This new single features a sample of the Calvin Harris song "I'm Not Alone" (HP-48, August 2009), and the bands only other chart entry was the No.5 track "Good Girls Go Bad" (peaked Sept 2009). "You Make Me feel..." has already reached No.1 in New Zealand, and this new single is taken from their forthcoming fourth album "Night Shades" which is due at the end of August.

 

Lower 50: Shannon Noll moves up eight places to a new peak of No.56 with his latest single "Switch Me On", and right behind at No.57 and up nine places is Foster the People's "Pumped up Kicks". Israel Cruz moves up seven places to No.63 with "Party Up", and Good Charlotte leap forward in time twenty places to No.72 with "1979". Finally Jay-Z and Kanye's other charting single, this one with Beyonce, entitled "Lift off", is up eight places to a new peak of No.81.

 

Five piece English boy band The Wanted score their first ARIA Singles Chart entry by debuting at No.68 with their second UK No.1 single "Glad You Came". This track is to be the second single lifted from their November due second album, and this song has also hit No.1 in Ireland and Scotland.

 

English dubstep duo Nero scored their first Top 10 entry in their home country back in May with the song "Guilt", which this week debuts here at No.76. They are currently at No.1 in England with their current track "Promises", so expect that to chart here later this year, and both tracks are taken from their debut album "Welcome Reality". Another former No.1 single from UK act DJ Fresh feat Sian Evans also enters, this one is in at No.96 entitled "Louder".

 

The reality contestant show The Voice started here in Australia a couple of weeks ago, and the first song from the show to hit the charts comes in at No.79 this week, "Time After Time" (the Cyndi Lauper song from 1984) was performed by Javier Colon, with all four judges opting to take him as one of their finalists.

 

Sydney Indie DJ duo Flight Facilities score their first ARIA Top 100 Singles Chart entry by debuting at No.90 with the song "Foreign Language". And Sydney band Boy & Bear debut at No.100 with "Milk & Sticks".

 

Albums

 

Adele is now the outright second-longest running No.1 album this century, as her "21" set notches up a fifteenth week at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart. She also stays within the top five, as her "19" album drops a single place to No.5 this week. This is only the third album in Australian chart history to have spent fifteen weeks at the top, the other being 1971’s “Teaser and the Firecat” by Cat Stevens and 1982’s “”Love Over Gold” for Dire Straits.

 

Last week's debut at No.3 for Jay-Z and Kanye West of "Watch the Throne" was from digital sales only, so with the physical sales kicking in now, it helps the set to move up a place to a new peak of No.2, whilst last weeks No.2 debut "Moonfire" for Boy & Bear drops back down two places to No.4.

 

Debuting in-between those two is the fifth album for Perth band Eskimo Joe "Ghosts of the Past". It instantly becomes their fourth Top 3 album, their last two "Inshalla" (June 2009) and "Black Fingernails Red Wine" (June 2006) both debuted at the No.1 spot, and this new albums first single is “Love is a Drug” which jumps into the Top 40 this week at No.38. The bands entire chart history is listed below...

LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking", Lady GaGa's "Born This Way", and Bruno Mars' "Doo-Wops and Holligans" all drop one place apiece to No.6, No.7 and No.8 respectively, with Bruno spending his 36th week in the Top 10, now placing it at equal 23rd on the list of ‘Albums with Most Weeks in the Top 10’. The only other album to achieve that amount of weeks in the Top 10 was Celine Dion’s “The Colour of My Love” during 1994. Returning to the Top 10 at No.10 is "Planet Pitbull" for Pitbull and at No.9 (up eighty-three places from last week's #92) is the repackaged deluxe edition of Jessica Mauboy's "Get 'em Girls" (HP-6, Nov 2010), which features her current No.4 single "Inescapable".

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie" is up a couple of places to a new peak of No.12, and up nine places to No.13 is Gotye's second album "Like Drawing Blood". il Volo's self-titled album climbs five places to No.18, and rebounding twenty-five places to No.28 is "Rrakala" from Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, whilst his first album "Gurrumul" re-enters at No.70. The film "Sucker Punch" came out on DVD two weeks ago (w/c 8-Aug-11), so that has helped the soundtrack to re-enter at No.35, and with tickets going on sale soon (this coming Wednesday) for Taylor Swift's February 2012 tour, her former No.1 album "Speak Now" jumps back up thirty-four places to No.48, whilst her "Fearless" album is back up nineteen places to No.56.

 

Scoring the only other Top 50 debut of the week is Melbourne based rapper Phrase with his third album "Babylon", which comes in at No.29. It doesn't quite beat the No.26 debut and peak of his second album "Clockwork" (May 2009).

 

Lower 50: Last week saw the debut of Gotye's first album from 2003 "Boardface", which this week leaps forty-one places to No.52. Re-entering at No.60 is the re-packaged Maroon 5 album "Hands All Over", which now features the current No.2 single "Moves like Jagger". The only new peaking album in the lower fifty this week is the Australian Cast Recording for "Mary Poppins", which is up eight places to No.79.

 

Another cast recording debuts, this one for "Rock of Ages", the Original Broadway Cast, in at No.87, and in time for Father's Day, Michael Crawford (a usual Mothers day staple in the 90's) debuts at No.77 with his second greatest hits collection "The Story of My Life - Ultimate Collection", his first was “The Best of” which hit No.10 around Christmas 2001.
