Singles

 

Gotye not only stays at No.1 for an eighth week with his song “Somebody That I Used to Know”, he also becomes the second longest running No.1 single for this decade, with “Party Rock Anthem” for LMFAO still holding the lead at ten weeks (TW-15). The last song to hold the top spot for (exactly) eight weeks was Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” at the end of 2009, whilst the last local act to achieve eight weeks at the top was Savage Garden’s “Truly Madly Deeply” from 1997. “Somebody That I Used to Know” now becomes the 41st song to achieve eight (and only eight) weeks at the No.1 spot here in Australia (1940 to 2011).

 

Ten weeks and holding at No.2 for Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera with “Moves Like Jagger”, and NO songs have ever only spent ten weeks at any position other than No.1, so this is once again a new record for the long running No.2. The highest new entry of the week could shake everything up next week though for the Top 2, as Rihanna’s new song “We Found Love” featuring Calvin Harris debuts at No.3. It’s the first single to be lifted from her as yet untitled sixth album, and it becomes her 31st charting single here and her twentieth Top 10 hit. It also instantly becomes the second Top 10 entry for Calvin Harris.

 

Gym Class Hereos scored their first Top 10 entry last week, and this week “Stereo Hearts” featuring Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine becomes the groups first Top 5, as it climbs five places to No.4. This song could also have the potential to go to No.1, or will it sit at No.2 for several weeks like the current Maroon 5 song? Spending a fourth non-consecutive week at its peak of No.5 is “Titanium” for David Guetta and Sia (the record is five weeks at No.5 for “Frozen” by Madonna in 1998), whilst peaking at No.3 last week and now down three places to No.6 is Cobra Starship with “You Make Me Feel”.

 

Rihanna’s other current Top 10 hit “Cheers (Drink to that)” is down a place to No.7 this week, and Jason DeRulo’s “It Girl” drops four places to No.8. Hot Chelle Rae fall down two places to No.9 with “Tonight Tonight”, and also dropping two places is “Domino” for Jessie J, now at No.10.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Adele holds for a second week at No.11 with “Set Fire to the Rain”, but right behind her at No.12 and No.13 are two songs that jump into the Top 20. Up sixteen places to No.12 (and helped by a packed promo tour) is Kelly Clarkson’s “Mr. Know it All”, whilst also in the country last week were LMFAO, who jump twenty three places to No.13 with their latest track “Sexy and I Know it”. Their visit has helped keep their two former Top 10 hits fairly stable this week, with “Party Rock Anthem” holding at No.15 and “Champagne Showers” only dropping one place to No.28.

Two further songs enter the Top 20 this week; up four places to No.18 is Calvin Harris with “Feel So Close”, giving him three songs within the Top 20, as he debuts with Rihanna at No.3, and is down three places to No.16 with his first Top 10 hit “Bounce”. And up six places to No.19 are Foster the People with “Pumped up Kicks”, whilst the biggest jump of the week goes to Flo Rida with “Good Feeling”, which flies up thirty-one places to No.22. It also marks the first time that blues legend Etta James has made a Top 40 chart appearance here in Australia. Her first single was released in the USA back in 1955, and the sample on Flo Rida’s track is taken from her 1962 single “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” (US HP-37), and now the 73 year old has landed her first chart entry here.

Nero move up four places to a new peak of No.34 with their hit “Promises”, and Gavin DeGraw climbs into the Top 40 at No.39 with his latest “Not Over You”. Lastly, DEV is up four places to No.42 with her track “In the Dark”.

 

The fifth single from Enrique Iglesias’ “Euphoria” album is the second highest new entry to the Top 100 this week, coming in at No.47 is “I Like How it Feels”, and this track features Pitbull as guest vocalist plus the producers The WAV.s, and the song was featured on the extended deluxe version of his album, and is Enrique’s sixteenth chart entry here in Australia

 

Lower 50: Climbing to new peaks in the lower fifty are “How to Love” for Lil’ Wayne, up nine spots to No.57. Jumping eighteen places to No.61 is Timbaland and Pitbull on “Pass at Me”, and re-entering at No.79 and scoring a new peak in the process is OneRepublic with B.o.B on their track “Good Life”. Also re-entering the charts this week is “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” at No.56 for Coldplay and thanks to scoring the highest new entry of the week on the albums chart is Blink 182’s “Up All Night” back in at No.91.

 

The first single for the upcoming fourth Twilight soundtrack debuts at No.59 entitled “It Will Rain”, which is performed by Bruno Mars. The new soundtrack features music also from Angus & Julia Stone, Christina Perri, Aqualung and The Noisettes among its fifteen tracks. The soundtrack is due in the first week of November whilst the film itself is due in mid November.

 

The tenth chart entry for Sydney dance duo Sneaky Sound System debuts at No.78 entitled “Big”. It’s the second single from their October 7th due third album “From Here to Anywhere”, which scored a No.29 hit in July with the albums first single “We Love”.

 

Nickelback debut at No.89 with “When We Stand Together”, the first single from their mid-November due seventh album “Here and Now”. It becomes their 16th chart entry here, their last being “This Afternoon” (HP-27, entered July 2010). And right behind them at No.90 is the first new entry from the third season of the musical TV series ‘Glee’. “You Can’t Stop the Beat” becomes the troupes 97th chart entry, and this song was originally from the musical film ‘Hairspray’ and it achieved a No.69 peak in November of 2007.

 

Albums

 

Adele again achieves the No.1 position on the ARIA Albums chart with her second album “21”, now scoring a twentieth week at the top, and with only new Meat Loaf and John Farnham albums out next week, her title might match her weeks at No.1. The last (and only) album to achieve exactly twenty weeks at No.1 was Shania Twain’s “Come on Over” which started its run at the top in February of 1999 with six different runs at the top (Adele has had three runs at No.1). Also Adele becomes the equal eighth longest running No.1 album in Australia (1965-2011), and if she achieves her 21 weeks at the top, she will become the outright eight place holder, as the next longest run at the top was John Farnham’s 25 weeks with “Whispering Jack” from November 1986. Adele’s “19” album (due to so many new entries) drops out of the Top 10 this week to No.14.

 

With five entries to the Top 10 this week, only the albums that were within the Top 5 last week survive for another week inside the Top 10. Last weeks No.2 debut “Prisoner” for The Jezabels falls down seven places to No.9, last weeks No.3 “Making Mirrors” for Gotye is down a place to No.4, and dropping two places apiece are David Guetta’s “Nothing But the Beat” and Lady Antebellum’s “Own the Night” to No.6 and No.7 respectively.

 

The sixth album (and first new material in eight years) for Blink 182 is the highest new entry of the week at No.2, entitled “Neighborhoods” it becomes the groups second No.2 debut (and their third achievement for ‘Highest New Entry of the Week’), plus it becomes their sixth consecutive Top 10 album. The Blink 182 album discography for the ARIA Albums Chart is listed below…

This week in the USA, Tony Bennett’s “Duets II” album debuted at No.1, and made him the oldest performer to achieve a No.1 album over there. This week that album enters at No.3 on the ARIA Albums chart, and gives Tony his first EVER Top 10 album in Australia, having previously gone as high as No.11 in early May 1995 (Mothers day sales) with his “Unplugged” album.
