Singles

 

Gotye and Kimbra hold for a fifth week at No.1 with his track "Somebody That I Used to Know", which is now the longest running No.1 by a local act this decade, and the last time we’ve saw a local act spend this long at the top was Gabriella Cilmi with “Sweet About Me”, which accumulated five weeks at the top in April, May and June of 2008. Plus guest vocalist Kimbra debuts at the other end of the Top 100 with her first chart entry "Good Intent" at No.98, and also scores a Top 10 debut with her first album.

 

Joining five other songs that have been kept at No.2 for seven weeks is "Moves like Jagger" for Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera, and this hasn't happened for over ten years, as from mid June 2001, Nikki Webster's "Strawberry Kisses" spent seven broken weeks ar No.2. During the ARIA Chart period (1983 to 2011), there has been five such tracks achieve this feat, but outside of the ARIA chart period, there is one song that has held this spot longer, 1971’s “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” by Helen Reddy stayed at No.2 for eight straight weeks from the end of July 1971 through until mid-September. The other four songs to have spent seven weeks at No.2 are…

Oct-88 – A Groovy Kind of Love – Phil Collins

Oct-89 – We Didn’t Start the Fire – Billy Joel

Oct-94 – Always – Bon Jovi

Feb-99 – That Don’t impress me Much – Shania Twain

 

In the Top 5, only two songs move, with No.3 and No.4 swapping places (which they also did last week), with Jason DeRulo's "It Girl" moving back up to No.3 for a second week, and Adele's "Someone Like You" dropping back down to No.4. Although it is good news for Adele, as her track "Rolling in the Deep" climbs back into the Top 10 at No.9, helped by lots of X-Factor performances of the song this past week, giving the track now eighteen accumulated weeks inside the Top 10, which ties it for equal second place on the list of ‘Most Weeks in the Top 10 without hitting No.1’. She now shares the eighteen honors with Shania Twain’s “From This Moment On”. The equal longest run in the Top 10 without making it to No.1 is tied with “Breathe” by The Prodigy (96/97) and “November Rain” (1992) for Guns N’ Roses, both spent twenty-four weeks in the top, and both songs are the overall leaders on the list of ‘Most Weeks in Top 10’.

 

Holding at No.5 for a second week is David Guetta and Sia on "Titanium", but David scores a second Top 10 hit this week, as last weeks highest new entry "Without You" featuring Usher leaps up fifteen places to No.10, giving David his tenth Top 10 hit and Usher his thirteenth. Also jumping up into the Top 10 this week is Cobra Starship with "You Make Me Feel...” up nine places to give them their second Top 10 hit. Their first Top 10 entry here was exactly two years ago, "Good Girls Go Bad" (HP-5, peaked Sept 2009). Like three and four above, No.7 and No.8 also swap places, with Rihanna's "Cheers (Drink to that)" moving up one place to a new peak of No.7, and Calvin Harris and Kelis on "Bounce" is down to No.8.

 

Jessie J has so far this year hit the Top 10 with her first two singles "Price Tag" (HP-2, TW-56) and "Nobody's Perfect" (HP-9, TW-68), and now it looks like she will do so again soon, as her new single "Domino" scores the highest new entry of the week at No.12. All three tracks are from her album "Who You Are", which rises back up the albums chart to No.40 this week.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Hot Chelle Rae spends a second week at their peak of No.16 with "Tonight Tonight", and also holding peak-place is Alexandra Stan and her song "Mr. Saxobeat" at No.24. Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" leaps up fourteen places to No.26, and another of last weeks debuts, Calvin Harris' "Feel So Close", is up eight places to No.28.

Foster the People climb up five places to No.33 with their track "Pumped Up Kicks", and another Guetta track, "Turn Me On" featuring Nicki Minaj is up two places to a new peak of No.35, whilst David's teaming with Akon on "Crank it Up", is up thirty-nine places to No.49 this week. Ms. Minaj also soars in the Top 50, up forty places to No.38 with her new single "Fly" featuring Rihanna.

 

The third single from Beyonce’s "4" album (TW-20) is entitled "Love on Top", and it debuts at No.40 this week, helped no doubt by her performance of the track at the MTV VMA's a couple of weeks ago, which was also the time that she announced her pregnancy on stage. The albums two previous singles are still within the Top 100, first track "Run the World (Girls)" (HP-10, TW-100) and then follow-up "Best Thing I Never Had" (HP-17, TW-32).

 

The Gym Class Heroes have been on a break for the past couple of years doing side projects, but they have come back together for their fifth album "The Paper Chronicles 2" which is due at the end of October. The first single from that album debuts at No.45, "Stereo Hearts", featuring Adam Levine; lead singer from Maroon 5. The song has reached the Top 10 in the U.S., The Netherlands and New Zealand so far.

 

Lower 50: Whilst the new Florence + The Machine track falls this week, their two re-entries from last week zoom up the charts, with "You've Got the Love" up forty-one places to No.52, and scoring a new peak in the process is "Dog Days Are Over", which is up thirty-three places to No.60 (former peak was #81 in October 2010). Gavin DeGraw climbs two places to No.52 with his new track "Not Over You", and Lil' Wayne jumps thirteen places to No.58 with his song "How to Love". Tracy Chapman re-enters the charts with her first two singles, her first hit "Fast Car" (HP-4, July 1988) is back in at No.88, whilst her second single "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution" is back in at No.66, it's highest peak on ARIA (AMR #57, no ARIA chart info), and it’s thanks to X-Factor for both songs, but also Revolution has been used in part in the new Anne Hathaway film “One Day” which opened recently. Also re-entering, and helped by a great X-Factor performance, is Usher's "U Got it Bad", which is back in at No.55, having peaked at No.3 in late February of 2002.

 

Singer Devin Star Tailes is better known as DEV, and she scores her second solo and fourth chart appearance by debuting at No.64 with "In the Dark", the second single from late September due debut album "The Night the Sun Came Up". Her other solo appearance was the No.66 song "Bass Down Low" (HP-66, March 2011), whilst she has also featured on the tracks "LIke a G6" (HP-2 Nov 2010) with Far East Movement, and "Backseat" for New Boyz (HP-89 April 2011).

 

UK drum-and-bass duo Nero see their first chart entry here "Guilt" (HP-62) drop out from No.100, but they enter at No.81 with their second entry "Promises", a former UK No.1 single, and both are taken from their current album "Welcome Reality" which is at No.23 this week.

 

Vocalist, percussionist and synth-wizard Joe Goddard from the band Hot Chip debuts at No.94 with his first solo entry to the ARIA Charts, "Gabriel", featuring vocals from Valentina. Also scoring their first solo chart entry here is New Zealand born (now Melbourne based) singer Kimbra, who enters at No.98 with the track "Good Intent" from her debut album "Vows", which lands inside the ARIA Top 10 on the Albums chart this week. Wedged in between those two new entries at No.96 is another, David Guetta debut, this one featuring Chris Brown and Lil' Wayne on the track "I Can Only Imagine", making it nine singles from his new album, and it's only been out for two weeks.

 

Albums

 

Adele's "21" is now at No.1 for a seventeenth week, and has achieved 7xPlatinum (that's sales of almost half-a-million units here in Australia). The only albums to have racked up this many weeks (and no more) in the past were two albums from the 1960’s, Herb Alpert’s “Going Places” which started its run in April 1967, and The Seekers “Greatest Hits” which stayed for seventeen weeks from late July in 1968. Adele also keeps a place in the Top 10 with her first album "19", which is only down a place to No.8.

 

Three weeks ago, Gotye leapt in at No.1 with his "Making Mirrors" album, and fell to No.3 last week, but this week he climbs back up a place to No.2, swapping with last weeks debut of No.2 for Red Hot Chili Peppers and "I'm With You", whilst last weeks No.4 entry stays stable, David Guetta's "Nothing But the Beat", whilst Icehouse drop down two places to No.7 with their latest and greatest "White Heat: 30 Hits".

 

New Zealand born and now Australian based female singer Kimbra Johnson, known more simply as Kimbra scores the highest new entry of the week by debuting at No.5 with her first album "Vows". Debuting right behind her at No.6 with his fifth album is Pete Murray and "Blue Sky Blue". This is his lowest entry since his second album "Feeler" debuted at No.43 at the end of July in 2003, and took thirty-six weeks to reach No.1 in April of 2004. His next two following albums both debuted at No.1, "See the Sun" (Oct 2005) and "Summer at Eureka" (June 2008).

 

The ninth album for US rapper Lil' Wayne is entitled "Tha Carter IV", and it debuts at No.9 this week instantly becoming his highest charting album here, and now his first Top 10 entry. Lead single from the album here is "How to Love" which is up to No.58 this week, and the previous best effort he's made on the albums chart was his sixth album "Tha Carter III" which reached No.47 in June 2008. He has also charted with seventh and eighth albums, “Rebirth” (HP-51, Feb 2010) and “I Am Not a Human Being” (HP-60, Oct 2010).

 

The Beatles "1" album re-enters at No.10 this week, thanks to it now being available as a digital download, and it was late November in 2000 that it started its nine weeks at No.1, and has accumulated 118 weeks in the Top 100, it’s last entry was back in September 2009.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Celtic Thunder last week debuted at No.1 with their new DVD "It's Entertainment!” whilst the parent album “That’s Entertainment” this week climbs two places to a new peak of No.33. Re-entering at No.35 is "The Ultimate Collection" for Sade, which made it to No.37 back in May for Mother's Day, now it claims a higher placing thanks to Fathers Day last weekend. And with Eminem's December concert recently announced, his current album "Recovery" recovers seventeen places to be back up at No.47 this week.

 

Pussycat Doll singer Nicole Scherzinger enters at No.28 with her debut album "Killer Love". Two singles so far have been on the charts here in Australia; "Don't Hold Your Breath" (HP-17, TW-84) and "Right There" (HP-8, TW-25), whilst the next single off the album is entitled "Wet".

 

Lower 50: New York punk-dance band The Rapture debut at No.53 with their fourth album "In the Grace of Your Love". Their previous chart entry here was their third album “Pieces of the Peoples We Love” (HP-67, Sept 2006). And a recently announced Australia tour in February 2012 by Roxette has helped them to enter at No.71 with the collection of their songs "Hits".
