(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Singles

 

LMFAO spend a third week at No.1 with their second chart-topper of the year "Sexy and I know it", whilst Rihanna sits at No.2 for a third week with her track "We Found Love" featuring Calvin Harris. The top five songs stay within the Top 5 this week, with only No.3 and No.5 swapping places. Back UP two places to No.3 is "Moves like Jagger" for Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera, swapping places with Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" dropping down two to No.5. Staying at No.4 for a fourth week is "Stereo Hearts" for the Gymn Class Heroes and Adam Levine.

 

Back up one place to No.6 is Kelly Clarkson's "Mr. Know it All", possibly boosted by her new album "Stronger" and its high debut this week. Foster the People score their first Top 10 hit in Australia, as "Pumped up Kicks" jumps up four places to land at No.7. Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" is down two places to No.8, pushing David Guetta and Sia to No.9 (down from No.8) with "Titanium". Lastly, Jason DeRulo's "It Girl" holds for a ninth week inside the Top 10 at No.10.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Calvin Harris does "Feel So Close" to reaching the Top 10 with the aforementioned track, as it inches up one place to No.11 this week. David Guetta and Usher's who spent three weeks at No.10 with the track "Without You" jump back up five places to No.13. And Ed Sheeran jumps nine places to a new peak of No.15 with his first chart enrty "The A Team".

Coldplay's new album debuts at No.1 this week, and that in turn has pulled a lot of their track up the charts. Current single "Paradise" halves its position from last week, jumping eighteen places from No.36 to No.18. The first Top 20 single from the "Mylo Xyloto" album, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" (HP-14) is the highest entry of the week, back in at No.32, and lower down, lead track from their previous album "Viva La Vida", is back in at No.72, and the classic 2005 track "Fix You" is at No.76.

Bruno Mars and Beyonce both move up one place each to No.20 and No.21 with "It Will Rain" and "Love on Top" respectively, with Beyone re-peaking at No.21. Nickelback continue their weekly climb with their new single "When We Stand Together”, up six places to No.24 this week; and helped by his X-Factor performance, and widespread promoing, Aloe Blacc leaps back up twenty-four places to No.26 with his former No.11 single "I Need a Dollar", whilst right behind him, and leaping up twenty places to No.27, is the new single for Taio Cruz, "Hangover", featuring Flo Rida on guest vocals.

The last two new peaks of the week come from Nicole Scherzinger and her new track "Wet", which is up five places to No.34, and Pete Murray's "Free" is up one place to No.42.

 

Lower 50: Florence + the Machine climb four places to a new peak of No.54 with "Shake it Out", taken from their "Ceremonials" album which is released this week, which could help it to crack the Top 50 next week. Ricki-Lee's 'come-back' single "Raining Diamonds" is up seven places to No.55, and after accumulating 34 weeks in the Top 100 (since April 2010), LMFAO's "Shots" climbs to a new peak of No.75 this week (former peak was No.77 on 9-May and 20-June 2011).

 

With Coldplay's "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" re-entering at No.32, it becomes the highest entry of the week, but the highest NEW entry of the week is the second track from Justin Bieber's new Christmas album, the track coming in at No.58 is "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roadsting on an Open Fire)", which features Usher as guest vocalist. The song was written in 1944 and first recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio, hitting the US Charts over Christmas 1946, peaking at No.3, it made it’s chart appearance here in Australia for Christmas 1948, hitting No.16 for both Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. Christina Aguilera was the last version released here in Australia back in late 1999, taken from her “My Kind of Christmas” album.

 

Lloyd Polite Jr goes by just the name Lloyd, and he debuts at No.67 with his first ARIA solo entry (he chart previously as guest vocalist on the Ja Rule track “Caught Up”, HP-34, April 2005) "Dedication to My Ex (Miss That)" which debuts at No.67 and features Outkast singer Andre 3000 and Lil' Wayne as guest vocalists. This track is taken from his fourth album "King of Hearts".

 

Triple J unearthed group from Perth, San Cisco make their ARIA Singles chart debut this week by entering at No.74 with the track "Awkward". Whilst a more established local artist; Darren Hayes, debuts at No.80 with his new single "Bloodstained Heart", taken from his new Top 20 debuting album. Plus we also see a re-entry from local legends Cold Chisel, as "Flame Trees" as performed by Andrew Wishart on X-Factor this past week, helps it to come back in at No.66. Lastly, The Wanted lands their second chart entry at No.99 with "Lightning", whilst their first chart entry, "Glad You Came" (HP-20) is sitting at No.43 this week.

 

Albums

 

The fifth album for Coldplay becomes their fourth No.1 album in Australia (their first album "Parachutes" made it to No.2 for four weeks), as "Mylo Xyloto" debuts on Gold certification this week in Australia. 2002’s “A Rush of Blood to the Head” was their first chart topping album here in Australia, spending a week at the top at the start of September 2002. “X&Y” also spent a week at the top in June 2005, but three years later the “Viva La Vida” album spent four straight weeks at the top, and with this weeks new No.1, they have now amassed seven weeks at No.1, equal with the same amount of time that The Police amassed from their four No.1 albums.

It’s been fifty-three weeks since the last English group hit No.1, that being Bring Me the Horizon (18-Oct-10), and “Mylo Xyloto” is the 634rd No.1 album in Australia (1965 to 2011), the 301st No.1 album by a group, and the 71st by a British Group and the 126th by an English act. And the uniqueness of the albums name means that no other album has had similar words in its title, only their third album comes close, “X & Y”.

 

Dropping back to No.2 is the 23 week running No.1 album "21" for Adele, which is likely to keep rebounding to the top over the rest of this year. Last weeks highest new entry, Cold Chisel's "The Best of - All for You" is down two places to No.4, and holding places at No.5 and No.6 are Gotye's "Making Mirrors" and LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking" respectively. Tony Bennett's "Duets 2" drops three places to No.7, and after two weeks at No.3, Chris Isaak's "Beyond the Sun" drops five spots to No.8, whilst David Guetta's "Nothing But the Beat" is down two places to No.9.

 

Kelly Clarkson debuts at No.3 with her fifth album "Stronger", and it instantly becomes her fourth Top 5 album, as her previous three all reached No.4 or No.2, with only her first album here, "Thankful" only reaching No.33. Kelly fulls ARIA Album chart history is listed below...
