Singles

 

At the end of September, LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know it” was dropping down the chart, previously peaking at No.44 in late July, and having dropped as low as No.76. But now six weeks later it’s enjoying a second week at No.1 in Australia, and building LMFAO’s tally of weeks at No.1 to twelve now, with the ten weeks run at the top earlier this year for “Party Rock Anthem” (TW-16).

 

The entire Top 5 stays stable this week (and very little of the Top 10 moves more than two places at the most). Rihanna and Calvin Harris hold at No.2 with “We Found Love”, Gotye’s former No.1 “Somebody That I Used to Know” is at No.3 for a third (non-consecutive) week. “Stereo Hearts” for Gym Class Heroes and Adam Levine is holding its No.4 peak for a third week, and right behind them at No.5 is Adam’s other teaming; Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera with “Moves Like Jagger” which is at No.5 for a third week after its long ten week No.2 run.

 

The only new peaking track within the Top 10 is Flo Rida’s latest single “Good Feeling”, which is up one place to No.6, swapping places with former No.1 “Mr. Know it All” for Kelly Clarkson, now at No.7. David Guetta and Sia’s “Titanium” spends its tenth week inside the Top 10 by accumulating its fourth multi-week placing. It’s spent four weeks at No.5, two weeks apiece at No.7, No.8 and No.10 (10-10-5-5-7-5-5-7-8-8). Jason DeRulo performed “It Girl” in a medley of his songs on X-Factor on Tuesday of last week, and that has helped the song to climb back up into the Top 10 at No.9 for a eighth week inside the Top 10, and down one place to No.10 is Cobra Starship’s “You Make Me Feel”.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Foster the People look set to score a Top 10 single next week, as their track “Pumped up Kicks” climbs three places to No.11, jumping over Calvin Harris’ “Feel So Close”, which holds at No.12 for a second week. Nicki Minaj’s track “Super Bass” has been receiving a lot of attention due to an 8 year old’s YouTube performance, and maybe that has helped the track to leap back up the charts eleven places to No.13.

Bruno Mars is edging closer to the Top 20, up one place to No.21 with the new ‘Twilight 4.1’ theme “It Will Rain”, whilst Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team” jumps eight places to No.24. Also up one place to a new peak of No.28 are Sean Paul and Alexis Jordan on “Got 2 Luv U”, and the next two following tracks both jump up. At No.29 (up fifteen places) is T-Pain and Lily Allen with “5 o’clock”, and up twelve spots to No.30 is “When We Stand Together” for Nickelback.

Katy Perry is up fourteen places to No.34 with “The One That Got Away”, and leaping back into the Top 50, and scoring a new peak is Coldplay’s current single “Paradise”, which is up seventeen places to No.36 (former peak was No.37) ahead of their new album which is out this week. Nicole Scherzinger’s “Wet” is up ten places, and into the Top 40 at No.39. Surpassing her No.42 peak from earlier in the month, DEV climbs two places to a new peak of No.41 with “In the Dark”, and after three broken weeks of peaking at No.50, Pete Murray’s “Free” jumps up seven places to No.43.

 

Justin Bieber is releasing his second album on November 1st, and it’s a Christmas album entitled “Under the Mistletoe”. The lead single from that album is the highest new entry this week, “Mistletoe” debuts at No.20, and is an original Christmas composition, but his upcoming album does contain plenty of traditional northern Christmas songs, accompanied by many pop/R&B stars such as Usher, Boyz II Men, Sean Kingston, Taylor Swift; and Mariah Carey duets with Justin on her track “All I Want for Christmas is You”. This is Justin’s fourteenth singles chart appearance here in Australia.

 

Another act who is set to release his third album before Christmas is Taio Cruz, the album entitled “TY.O.”, and the lead single enters at No.47, “Hangover” featuring guest vocals from Flo Rida. This new track becomes Taio’s sixth chart entry, his last is at No.76 this week, “Little Bad Girl” with David Guetta, and he is still charting at No.81 with his No.1 track “Dynamite”, now in it’s 67th week in the Top 100.

 

Lower 50: Up twelve places to a new peak of No.68 is OneRepublic with B.o.B. on their track “Good Life”, and up five spots to No.72 is Wynter Gordon’s new single “Buy My Love”. Lana Del Ray is up thirteen places to No.86 with her first Australian chart entry “Video Games”, and 360 is up one place to a new peak of No.87 with his track “Killer”.

 

The past two week’s X-Factor shows are having impacts on this weeks chart, with Christina Parri’s performance of The Cranberries hit “Zombie” (HP-1 peaked Dec 1994) making it to No.40 on the digital chart last week, it helps it to re-enter at No.69 this week. Andrew’s performance of the Stereophonic track “Dakota” (HP-22, peaked June 2005) this past week helps it back into the charts at No.57, and last years winner of the show Altiyan Childs performed his new single “Ordinary Man”, which this week debuts at No.55.

 

Local dance duo called Bombs Away (Thomas Hart and Sketch) debut at No.52 with “Super Soaker” which could be their dance party anthem for the upcoming summer season. And in at No.62 is another local dance act, Ricki-Lee, who enters with her new track “Raining Diamonds”, and it’s her tenth chart entry.

 

Two small re-entries worth mentioning in the lower 100 include Black Eyed Peas “I Gotta Feeling” back in at No.96, now in it’s 104th week inside the Top 100 (GaGa’s “Poker Face” is still leading with 106 weeks), and Cold Chisel’s score the highest new album entry of the week, which in turn helps their classic track “Khe Sanh” to come back in at No.100.

 

Albums

 

Adele’s 23 weeks run at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart has been secured this week, but next week could be a very different story, as new albums from Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, Washington, Michael Buble, Darren Hayes and GH sets from INXS and Sting are all released. At the moment it looks like Coldplay could be No.1 with their fifth album (and it will be become their fourth consecutive No.1).

 

Cold Chisel’s sixth Best of collection is the highest new entry of the week, entitled “The Best of Cold Chisel – All for You”; it debuts at No.2 and becomes their highest placed Greatest Hits collection. The bands first collection was December 1985’s “Radio Songs” which made it to No.3, then came the February 1988 set “Razor Songs” which climbed to No.11. Their biggest GH set was “Chisel” which took three weeks to climb to No.3 in October 1991, accumulating 156 weeks in the Top 100 by the time of its last appearance in December 2009. Also it was re-issued and re-mastered in 2001 with a bonus disc where it went to No.15. The other compilation the boys have issued was entitled “Teenage Love”, which debuted and peaked at No.6 in November of 1994.

 

Like the singles chart, the album chart Top 7 (except for the debut) doesn’t move around much at all. Chris Isaak’s “Beyond the Sun” holds at its No.3 debut from last week, Tony Bennett’s “Duets II” is down two places to No.4 after two weeks at No.2. Goyte’s “Making Mirrors” is at it’s lowest chart placing so far, No.5; and holding at No.6 and No.7 respectively are LMFAO’s “Sorry for Party Rocking” and David Guetta’s “Nothing But the Beat”. And matching his position on the Top 10 singles chart is Jason DeRulo’s second album “Future History”, which is up thirteen places to No.9, its first week inside the Top 10, as it debuted at No.11 four weeks ago.

 

Two more local acts debut inside the Top 10 this week, with Shannon Noll’s fourth studio album (fifth album in total) “A Million Suns” debuting at No.8 to become his fifth Top 10 entry and lowest so far. His first two albums both went to No.1, “That’s What I’m Talking About” (Feb 2004) and “Lift” (Oct 2005), then came “Turn it Up” (No.3, Sept 2007) and followed in October 2008 by his greatest hits collection “No Turning Back: The Story So Far” (HP-7).

 

Debuting at No.10 is also the fourth studio album, this one for Mark Vincent, who enters with “Songs from the Heart”. This is Mark’s third Top 10 album, following on from July 2009’s “My Dream – Mio Visione” (No.2), then April 2010’s “Compass” (No.5) and his last album was November 2010’s “The Great Tenor Songbook” which made it to No.18.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: With a new Bruno Mars track on the singles chart (but not on the album), his debut album “Doo-Wops and Hooligans” is back up the charts six places to No.18. Nirvana’s “Nevermind” might have dropped seven places to No.28, but it has now racked up 240 weeks in the Top 100, making it now the equal fourth longest charting Top 100 run during ARIA’s 1988 to 2011 chart period. It ties with Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell”, and will surpass that figure next week.

Foster the People’s current No.11 hit “Pumped Up Kicks” helps the album to climb back up six places to No.29, and Bjork’s new album “Biophilia” jumps seventeen spots to No.31 this week. Up twenty-six places to No.39 is Maroon 5’s “Hands All Over”, and Jack Vidgen’s album “Yes I Am” us back up twelve places to No.41.

 

Sydney singer/songwriter Lanie Lane enters at No.12 with her debut album “To the Horses”. This bluesy jazz style artist is best known here for singing the theme to the ABC TV Series ‘Crownies’ entitled “What Will I Do”. Another Sydney act, rock band Tonight Alive, debut at No.15 with their second album entitled “What Are You So Scared of?” featuring the lead single “Starlight”. Their June 2010 released first album “All Shapes and Disguises” failed to chart.

 

The first album by post-Oasis main-member Noel Gallagher is entitled “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds”, the new ‘High Flying Birds’ consisting of three members, one being former Oasis keyboardist Mike Rowe. The self-titled album debuts at No.16 this week. Another act who makes their ARIA Albums chart debut are French act M83, who debut at No.37 with their sixth album (first here) “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming”.

 

Lower 50: Ed Sheeran climbs to a new peak of No.58 with his album “+”, up eight places from last week, but jumping twenty spots to a new peak of No.61 is the upcoming tourists here Def Leppard with “Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection”.

 

The third album for California heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch becomes their first chart entry here, debuting at No.50 with the album “American Capitalist”. The fourth album from Perry Farrell’s group Jane’s Addiction entitled “The Great Escape Artist” debuts at No.71, and Sydney mix master Kerser debuts at No.73 with his debut album “The Nubulizer”.

 

Two more entries in the lower part of the chart, the first being at No.91, “The Best of the Lion King”, helped by its recent cinema re-issue in 3D and its October 14th DVD re-issue. Melbourne group The Vasco Era debut at No.94 with their third album, self-titled this time, but it doesn’t perform as well as their previous two entries, 2007’s “Oh We Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside” (HP-40) and March 2010’s “Lucille” (HP-48).
