Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts

Singles

 

Gotye spends a fourth week at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart with his track “Somebody That I Used to Know”, but unfortunately he does not have both No.1s, as he loses the top spot on the album chart this week. But he should rejoice in the fact that ‘Somebody…’ has picked up a double platinum accreditation, as it first achieved platinum when it went to No.1 four weeks ago. And talking of four weeks, “Somebody…” is now the equal longest running No.1 for the Eleven record label, equaling Silverchair’s four week achieved with “Straight Lines” back in March of 2007.

 

The number two song of the week is again Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera’s “Moves Like Jagger”, which has now been sitting at No.2 for six weeks. The last track to do this was back in May and June in 2010, “Airplanes” for another duo, B.o.B and Hayley Williams. The record holder for most weeks at No.2 is seven weeks, but that is held by five different songs, the last of which was Nikki Webster’s “Strawberry Kisses” back in June 2001.

 

Adele leaves the Top 10 with “Rolling in the Deep”, now down to No.13, but she moves back up one place to No.3 with her former No.1 “Someone Like You”, giving the top three songs all double platinum status this week. Last weeks leaper for Jason DeRulo, “It Girl”, swaps places with Adele, now down to No.4, whilst David Guetta halves last weeks position by climbing from No.10 to No.5 this week with “Titanium” featuring Sia on vocals.

 

Jessica Mauboy falls a place to No.6 with “Inescapable”, but moving up a place to a new peak of No.7 is Calvin Harris and Kelis with “Bounce”, and right behind them at No.8 is the only new entry to the Top 10, Rihanna’s “Cheers (Drink to That)”, which is up five places and becomes her nineteenth Top 10 hit, and fourth from her current album. Pitbull and Marc Anthony hold onto the reigns of No.9 with “Rain Over Me”, and dropping down three places to No.10 is Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass”.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Aloe Blacc leaps up five places to No.11 with his track “I Need a Dollar”, whilst Lady GaGa is up seven places to No.14 with her new single “You and I”. Cobra Starship are up five places to No.15 with “You Make Me Feel…”, and right behind them at No.16 (up two places) is Hot Chelle Rae with their single “Tonight, Tonight”.

Alexandra Stan breaks away from her three weeks at No.30 with “Mr. Saxobeat”, up six places to No.24. Florence + The Machine leap forty-one places to No.35 with their new single “What the Water Gave Me” to give them their third Top 40 hit. Foster the People score their first Top 40 entry as “Pumped Up Kicks” climbs five places to No.38, and Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” is up one place to a new peak of No.40.

With the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album out this week, the lead single from the set “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” climbs eight places to No.41, and up five places to No.45 is UK boy-band The Wanted with their track “Glad You Came”. The biggest leap of the week in the Top 100 goes to The Potbelleez and their new single “Midnight Midnight”, which is up fifty places to No.48, and New Zealand band Avalanche City leap twenty-one lovely places to No.49 with their debut single “Love, Love, Love”.

 

David Guetta’s fifth studio album “Nothing But the Beat” debuts inside the Top 5 on the albums chart this week, and two new tracks from the album also make it onto the singles chart, giving him six Top 40 entries, plus two more in the lower fifty makes it eight in total in the Top 100 for him this week. Debuting at No.25 is his teaming with superstar Usher on the track “Without You”, then he also enters at No.37 with “Turn Me On” featuring previous collaborator Nicki Minaj. David is currently charting with “Titanium” featuring Sia at No.5, “Little Bad Girl” with Taio Cruz and Ludacris” at No.21, “Where Them Girls at” featuring Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida at No.32, and then last weeks debut, “Night of Your Life” with Jennifer Hudson which is at No.43 this week. In the lower fifty he’s at No.58 with “Sweat” alongside Snoop Dogg, and debuting at No.88 is “Crank it Up” featuring guest vocals from Akon. His tally of chart entries now climbs to eighteen with the three new entries.

 

Calvin Harris last week scored his first Top 10 single here in Australia, “Bounce” which is up to No.7 this week, but this week he enters the charts at No.36 with his new single “Feel So Close”, this time the vocals done by himself, and this new track becomes his eighth chart entry, plus the track debuted at No.2 in Ireland and England recently.

 

Lower 50: Paramore’s “The Only Exception” re-enters at No.51 this week, helped by broadcast performances on ‘The Glee Project’ and ‘X-Factor Australia’ this past week, whilst another ‘X-Factor’ performance has helped John Lennon’s “Imagine” back into the Top 100 at No.96, the songs third re-entry this century. It hit No.94 in May 2008 and No.85 in October of 2010. Lastly, Keith Urban’s track “Tonight I Wanna Cry” from his “Be Here” album makes its first chart entry at No.72 due to Mitchell Callaway’s performance of the track on ‘X-Factor’ this past week.

 

Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You” climbs seven places to a new peak of No.54, Good Charlotte’s “1979” is up one place to No.62, and jumping up twenty places to No.71 is Lil’ Wayne with “How to Love”.

 

Icehouse released their first digitally available greatest hits collection recently called “White Heat: 30 Hits”, which debuts in the Top 5 this week. Their first Top 5 single and only No.1 hit both re-enter thanks to this new compilation, with “Great Southern Land” (HP-5, Sept 1982) coming back in at No.66, and their only No.1, “Electric Blue” (1 week, 16-Nov-1987) is back in at No.80. Also re-entering this week due to new material are two tracks from Florence + The Machine, “You’ve Got the Love” is back in at No.92, and right behind that at No.93 is “Dog Days are Over”.

 

Trinidad singer Nicki Minaj teams up with Barbados star Rihanna on Nicki’s new track from “Pink Friday” (TW-28) entitled “Fly”, which debuts at No.78. Another teaming debuts at No.91, OneRepublic with B.o.B on the track “Good Life”. And entering at No.98 is new material from Snow Patrol, the single is “Called Out in the Dark”, taken from their late 2011 due sixth album “Fallen Empires”.

 

Albums

 

Adele returns to No.1 with her “21” album, holding off some very stiff competition this week, to now achieve sixteen weeks at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart. The last albums to achieve sixteen weeks at No.1 were from the 60’s and 70’s, with “The Beatles (aka The White Album)” from 1968 being the first, followed in 1970 by Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Skyhooks in 1975 spent sixteen weeks at the top with their debut album “Living in the 70’s”, then the last act to spend sixteen weeks at the top was Abba with “The Best of Abba” from late March 1976.

 

The tenth studio album for California’s Red Hot Chili Peppers is entitled “I’m With You”, and it debuts at No.2 this week becoming their tenth Top 10 album here in Australia. Their last studio album was 2006’s “Stadium Arcadium” which spent three weeks at the top in May of that year, and this new album has already produced the single “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” which shoots up to No.41 this week. The bands entire album history in Australia is listed below…
