Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Singles

 

Six weeks atop the ARIA Singles chart for Gotye and Kimbra's "Somebody That I Used to Know", making it now the longest running No.1 for an Australian act this century, as the last time a local act spent this long (or longer) at the top of our charts was Savage Garden's "Truly, Madly, Deeply" for eight straight weeks starting in early April 1997.

 

But Gotye's achievement is not the only chart feat this week, as the first ever song to exclusively spend eight weeks at No.2 and go no higher (as opposed to Taylor Swift's "Love Story" which spent eleven weeks at No.2, but also two weeks at No.1). "Moves like Jagger" for Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera haven’t moved for the past eight weeks from the No.2 position, and if it doesn't go to No.1 it has now set the record for the most weeks at No.2 during the ARIA period (April 1983 to 2011). There is only one song in the 70+ years of the Australian charts that has spent eight weeks at No.2, Helen Reddy's "I Don't Know How to Love Him" back in 1971 (mentioned last week).

 

It's a third accumulated week at No.3 for Jason DeRulo's "It Girl", and jumping up two places to No.4 are Cobra Starship with "You Make Me Feel…", which now surpasses their previous best effort for "Good Girls Go Bad" which peaked at No.5. And up seven places to No.5 is Jessie J's now third Top 10 hit, "Domino", which was last weeks highest new entry at No.12.

 

Rihanna again climbs another single place, this time up to No.6 with her track "Cheers (Drink to that)". Falling back two places to No.7 is David Guetta and Sia with "Titanium", whilist David's teaming with Usher on "Without You" holds at No.10 for a second week. Sandwiched in between those two Guetta tracks are a couple of Adele's, with her former No.1 "Someone Like You" dropping down four places to No.8, and spending it's nineteenth week inside the Top 10 at No.9 is "Rolling in the Deep", now the second longest running non-No.1 Top 10 entry.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Hot Chelle Rae jumps up four places to a new peak of No.12 after spending two weeks at No.16 with their track "Tonight Tonight". Adele again jumps up with "Set Fire to the Rain", this week it leaps nine places to No.17. Blasting up twenty-four places to No.21 is the new track for Gym Class Heroes, "Stereo Hearts", and soaring up fifteen spots to No.23 is Nicki Minaj and Rihanna with "Fly".

Calvin Harris loses his Top 10 placing for "Bounce" this week (down to No.11), but his new track "Feel So Close" is up four places to a new peak of No.24. Foster the People jump on both the albums and singles chart, with "Pumped Up Kicks" up five places to No.28 this week, and Beyonce's "Love on Top" is up eight places to No.32 from last weeks debut of No.40. She also re-enters at No.88 with "Halo", which was used during X Factor this past week.

The Wanted were in the country last week for a promo visit, and their track "Glad You Came" benefits by jumping ten places to No.36, and entering the Top 50 this week are Gavin DeGraw's "Not Over You", up seven places to No.45, and after originally charting back in March 2009 (HP then was #83, peaked in Feb 2010 at No.69), Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days are Over" finally cracks the Top 50 at No.47 this week (up thirteen places).

 

Kelly Clarkson scores the highest new entry of the week with her new single "Mr. Know it All", which debuts at No.25, and is the first taste of her late October due fifth album "Stronger". This is Kelly's first new material since we last saw her back in July 2009 with "Already Gone" (HP-12), and this new song becomes her fourteenth chart entry here in Australia, all of them having achieved Top 40 status.

 

Australian DJ Havana Brown debuts at No.38 with her second chart entry "Get it", whilst her first single "We Run the Night" is still charting at No.71, having peaked at No.5 back in June. A few places lower at No.42 is the second single to be lifted off Coldplay's next album, the song it entitled "Paradise", and is the follow-up to the June, No.14 single "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall", which re-enters at No.99 this week. They are also back in at No.74 with their song "Fix You".

 

Lil' Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" became his first Top 10 album here in Australia last week, but the deluxe edition has the bonus track "Mirror", which features guest vocalist Bruno Mars (plus a lyrical nod to MJ's 'Man in the Mirror'). His new album is at No.20 this week, and the track "Mirror" debuts at No.49, whilst his other charting single from the album "How to Love" is down ten places to No.68.

 

LOWER 50: DEV looks like she's gonna score her first solo Top 50 entry soon, as her single "In the Dark" jumps up thirteen places to No.51 this week. Nero take their second chart entry "Promises" up twenty-three places to No.58, and thanks to it re-entering higher, Snow Patrol's "Called Out in the Dark" scores a new peak at No.79.

 

Pete Murray's "Blue Sky Blue" holds at No.6 this week, but the second single from the album "Free" debuts at No.55, whilst previous single “Always a Winner” (HP-38) is at No.78. Also scoring a second single from a current album is Example, who debuts at No.66 with "Stay Awake", whilst his album scores a Top 20 debut this week.

 

Twenty year-old English singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran enters at No.81 with his debut single entitled "The A Team" (nothing to do with the show from the 80's). This song peaked in the Top 5 in England, Ireland and Scotland, and his next single is currently Top 10 there at the moment; "You Need Me, I Don't Need You".

 

Cold Chisel release a new best of collection on October 14th entitled "All For You: The Best of Cold Chisel". The title track from that album debuts at No.84 this week, and becomes their first NEW material to chart since 1999’s “Way Down” (HP-63, March 1999).

 

Albums

 

The last act to spend eighteen weeks at No.1 was Mariah Carey back in 1994 with her "Music Box" album. Every couple of years since then, a female act has bounced back and forth at No.1 with a huge selling album. This week Adele's "21" racks up its eighteenth non-consecutive week at the top, whilst her debut album "19" is back up one place to No.7. The only other album to achieve eighteen weeks at No.1 was “Silk Degrees” by Boz Scaggs (1977). Below is a list of long-running No.1 albums for female acts...

1994 – Music Box – Mariah Carey (18 weeks)

1995 – Colour of Love – Celine Dion (8 weeks)

Last weeks Top 6 all stay within the Top 6, albeit three of them move only slightly. Gotye's "Making Mirrors" holds at No.2, but David Guetta scores his highest ever peak on the ARIA Albums chart ("One Love" peaked at No.4), as "Nothing But the Beat" climbs a place to No.3. Also up to a new peak is Kimbra, whose album "Vows" scored the highest new entry last week, and is up a place to No.4 this week, which pushes the Red Hot Chili Peppers latest "I'm with You" down two places to No.5, and Pete Murray's "Blue Sky Blue" holds at No.6 for a second week.

 

Icehouse drop a place to No.8 with their greatest hits collection "White Heat: 30 Hits", and returning to the Top 10 at No.10 is LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking". Debuting in-between those two at No.9 is British indie-rock band The Kooks with their third album "Junk of the Heart". Their second album "Konk" debuted and peaked at No.8 in April 2008, whilst their first album "Inside In / Inside Out made it to No.84 in October 2009, having originally charted back in July 2006 at No.87 and June 2008 at No.96.

 

Also debuting with a third album is Laura Marling, who enters at No.12 with "A Creature I Don't Know", not quite beating the No.7 peak her second album "I Speak Because I Can" achieved back in April 2010, and it re-enters at No.90 this week, whilst her first album "Alas, I Cannt Swim" made it to No.98 in August 2008, having initially charted at No.100 in March of 2008.

 

Another third album, (but first to chart here) enters at No.14, British rapper Example, and his new set "Playing in the Shadows", which debuted at No.1 in his home country this past week. Two singles have charted here so far from the album, "Changed the Way You Kiss Me" (HP-16, TW-30) and "Stay Awake" (debuting at No.66).

 

The eleventh album for American progressive rock band Dream Theater debuts at No.17 entitled "A Dramatic Turn of Events". Their 2009 album "Black Clouds and Silver Linings" placed first week at No.16, album nine was called “Systematic Chaos” (HP-23, June 2007) and their first chart appearance here was album eight; “Octavarium” (HP-81, June 2005).

 

The debut album for American indie rock band GroupLove enters at No.21 entitled" Never Trust a Happy Song". And the first album for Brisbane's Ball Park Music debuts at No.36 entitled "Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs". The first chart entry in Australia for US metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada is their fourth album, which debuts at No.44 entitled "Dead Throne".

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Outside of the Top 10 new peaks, the only other new peaking album is Nicole Scherzinger's "Killer Love", which climbs a couple of places to No.26. Foster the People climb seventeen places to No.28 with their former No.9 album "Torches", and helped by a third Top 10 single, Jessie J's "Who You Are" album is up nine places to No.31. With tickets to his shows selling out around the country, Eminem's "Recovery" album is up ten places to No.37 this week.

 

Lower 50: Ry Cooder’s fifteenth solo album (as opposed to his many collaboration albums) “Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down” debuts at No.57. His last album chart appearance here was with his 12th album “Chavez Ravine” (HP-68, August 2005). Neil Finn’s new project is a group with his adult kids entitled Pajama Club, and their self-titled album enters at No.61. Debuting at No.72 is Mantra with the album “Speaking Volumes”, and making his ARIA Albums chart debut with his sixth album is violinist David Garrett, entering at No.78 with “Rock Symphonies”.
