Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts

(Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

 

Singles

 

LMFAO top and tail the Top 20 this week with their two No.1 singles, as "Sexy and I Know it" holds for a fifth week at the top of the ARIA Singles chart, and their former No.1, "Party Rock Anthem"; which stayed aloft for twice as long (ten weeks), is spending it's 37th week inside the Top 100. Plus in a year of long-running No.1’s, it’s now the fourth longest run at the top, and still going.

 

The entire top four singles all hold this week, with Rihanna and Calvin Harris at No.2, also for a fifth week. "Moves like Jagger" spends its eighteenth week in the Top 10 by staying at No.3 for a third week. And "Good Feeling" for Flo Rida is at No.4 for a second week. Ed Sheeran has been consistenly climbing every week with his debut single "The A Team", and this week it leaps eight places into the Top 10 to land at No.5. Also moving up into the Top 10 (although it is a return) is David Guetta and Usher on "Without You", which is up five places to a new peak of No.6, having previously spent three weeks at No.10 back in mid September.

 

The third successive peak within the Top 10 is Calvin Harris and "Feel So Close" which jumps up three places to land at No.7, equaling the peak his first Top 10, “Bounce” made it to in September. Foster the People spend a second week at No.8 with "Pumped Up Kicks", and Gym Class Heroes with Adam Levine tumble four places to No.9 with their "Stereo Hearts", whilst David Guetta has a second Top 10 entry this week with Sia on "Titanium", down three places to No.10.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Jessica Mauby and Stan Walker fly up fifteen places to No.13 with Jess's new track "Galaxy", and right behind at No.14, up eighteen places is Lloyd, Andre 3000 and Lil' Wayne with "Dedication to My Ex (Miss That). Another trio of R&B/rap stars, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and Bruno Mars leap up forty-six places to land at No.17 with "Young, Wild and Free", whilst also joining the Top 20 after two weeks at No.27 is Taio Cruz and Flo Rida with "Hangover", up eight places to No.19.

The biggest leap of the week comes from Ricki-Lee, whose new single "Raining Diamonds" is up an amazing seventy-three places to No.23, helped no doubt by her X-Factor appearance last Tuesday night and her many visits to shows on her promo tour of the country. The second single from the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" soundtrack is "A Thousand Years" for Christina Perri, which is up twenty-eight places to No.34 this week, and Havana Brown re-peaks at No.38 with her second single "Get it".

 

The third single from Jason DeRulo's second album, "Future History" (TW-38) is the highest new entry of the week. "Breathing" is in at No.36, and follows the two former Top 5 singles from the album, "Don't Wanna Go Home" (HP-5, TW-80) and "it Girl" (HP-3, TW-25). "Breathing" contains elements of "Pilentze Pee", written by Krassimir Tsvetano Kurkchiyski, Shope Trad and Folksong Thrace.

 

British singer Luciana (Caporaso) has scored three appearances on the ARIA Singles Chart as a guest vocalist, but none as a solo act until this week. "I'm So Hot" debuts at No.44 this week, with the biggest featured track here being "I Like That" for Richard Vission in April 2010, which made it to No.3. Her other three appearances were on “Yeah, Yeah” for Bodyrox (HP-39, Jan 2007), “What Planet Are You On” (Phys No.49, April 2009) with Bodyrox again, and then after Richard V she was on “Go, Go, Go” for Lethal Bizzle (HP-67, Sept 2010).

 

Lower 50: 360 and Gossling climb again this week, they're up five places to a new peak of No.59 with "Boys Like You". Pitbull and Chris Brown climb thirteen places to No.60 with "International Love", and climbing three places to a new peak of No.62 is OneRepublic and B.o.B. with "Good Life". These Kids Wear Crowns dance up fifteen places to No.67 with their cover of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", and also up fifteen spots are Qwote and Pitbull with "Throw Your Hands Up". Once again Lana Del Rey climbs higher with her track "Video Games", up six places this week to No.75, whilst one place higher, Perth's San Cisco spend a third week at their entry position and peak of No.74.

 

Hot Chelle Rae scores a second ARIA Top 100 entry this week by debuting at No.51 with "I Like it Like That". They drop ten places to No.31 with their first chart entry here, "Tonight Tonight" which peaked at No.7 in October. Helped by the DVD and Blu-Ray release of 'Bridesmaids', the track "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips again re-enters the charts, coming back at No.73 this week. It made it back to No.51 back in July when the movie was in the cinemas.

 

Duck Sauce score their third chart entry in Australia, as they debut at No.71 with "Big Bad Wolf". Their previous two entries have been "aNYway" (HP-56, Nov 2009) and last years "Barbra Streisand" (HP-9, peaked November 2010). So I guess that every November we can expect a new track from the New York duo. Bloc Party lead singer Kele debuts with his second album "The Hunter" this week on the albums chart, and the first single from the album debuts at No.83 entitled "What Did I Do?" and featuring guest vocalist Lucy Taylor. His previous chart entry was “Tenderoni” (HP-58, June 2010).

 

The Glee TV series is back on air here in Australia, and so the gang enter the charts this week at No.86 with their version of Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night". It now becomes the troupe's 100th chart entry in Australia, all of this achieved in the past two years. To put this into perspective, below is a table of acts who achieved similar feats throughout Australia’s chart history

 

First to Final Entries No Artists

1940 to 1976 233 1 Bing Crosby

1956 to 2006 120 2 Elvis Presley

1941 to 1975 113 3 Frank Sinatra

2009 to 2011 100 4 Glee Cast

1944 to 1976 94 5 Perry Como

1970 to 2010 75 6 Elton John

1983 to 2009 66 7 Madonna

1972 to 2010 55 8 Michael Jackson

1963 to 2011 54 9 The Beatles

1987 to 2011 52 10 Kylie Minogue

 

And the last new entry of the week is Lady GaGa (an unusual place for her to debut normally), at No.88 with "Marry the Night", the sixth single to be lifted from her second album "Born This Way" (TW-63).

 

Albums

 

Last year Susan Boyle was denied a second No.1 album due to the massive success of P!nk's "Greatest Hits... So Far" collection. So "The Gift" (re-enters this week at No.78) stayed at No.2 for five weeks during the Christmas/New Years period, whilst the previous year she achieved the highest sales for a debut album with her "I Dreamed a Dream" set which stayed at No.1 for eleven weeks from late November 2009, and is back in the charts this week at No.59. So this week Susan Boyle's third album "Someone to Watch Over Me" debuts at No.1 with Platinum sales in its first week, helped no doubt be her promo visit this past week, and her TV special which aired on Thursday of last week, plus her X-Factor performance on Tuesday night.

“Someone to Watch over Me” becomes the 636th No.1 album in Australia (1965 to 2011), and Susan becomes the only act from Scotland to achieve two No.1 albums in Australia. Simple Minds and Snow Patrol have been the other Scottish acts to achieve chart-topping albums here, plus Susan takes her tally of weeks at No.1 here to twelve, the same amount of time (and albums) that Meat Loaf has achieved with his two “Bat Out of Hell” albums (1978 and 1993).

Susan now also joins il Divo as the other Syco Music act to achieve two No.1 albums for the record company, and takes their tally of No.1 albums for the company in Australia to five (Leona Lewis was the other act in that gang). And Susan is the 89th female solo artist to achieve a No.1 album in Australia, the last being Lady GaGa back in May with “Born This Way”. “Someone to Watch Over Me” is only the second album to feature the word ‘someone’ in it’s title, the other being Matchbox 20’s “Yourself or Someone Like You” (6 weeks from May 1998), and the first to feature a ‘watch’ in the title.

 

Last week's three Top 10 debuts all remain within the Top 10 this week, with Michael Buble's "Christmas" climbing two places to a new peak of No.2, and the No.1 debut for Florence + the Machine "Ceremonials" dropping down two places to No.3, with Justin Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe" dropping four places to No.10. Adele's "21" is down one place again for a fourth week, this week dropping to No.4, and the fourth of five No.1 albums within the Top 5 is Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto", which is down three places to No.5. Cold Chisel's "The Best of - All for You" is down two places to No.7, and up one spot to No.8 is LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking".

 

Two more debuts enter the Top 10 this week, with the seventh volume of the Triple J series "Like a Version" debuting at No.6. This week last year volume six managed a No.2 debut, meaning this seventh volume in the series' second Top 10 entry. And talking of series of albums, the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is the fourth (of five) soundtracks from the 'Twilight' series. The film opens next week, and this new set debuts at No.9. Two singles have been lifted from the soundtrack so far, Bruno Mars with "It Will Rain" (TW-24) and Christina Perri with "A Thousand Years" (TW-34). The target for this new soundtrack is to beat the placing of ALL three previous 'Twilight' compilations, which ALL peaked at No.2 in Australia.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Ed Sheeran jumps into the Top 10 on the singles chart with "The A Team", and that has helped his album “+” to leap twenty-six places to a new peak No.21. Rihanna's "Loud" re-surges up fourteen places to No.22, and up sixteen places is Bon Jovi's "Greatest Hits" collection. Re-entering the Top 100 at No.29 is the longest running album in ARIA Albums chart history, "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac", which is notching up its 273rd week on the charts. And jumping up twenty places to No.35 is Jessie J's "Who You Are", which is getting a re-packaged edition with a DVD this coming week, and lastly, up twenty-nine places to No.43 is "Come around Sundown" for Kings of Leon.

 

il Divo's sixth album "Wicked Game" debuts at No.11, and if it doesn't climb into the Top 10 next week, it'll be only the second time that they have been unable to crack the Top 10, as their December 2006 "Christmas Collection" only managed to make it to No.16.

 

Powderfinger debut with two versions of their newly re-packed greatest hits sets. Coming in at No.15 is the double-pack of "Fingerprints and Footprints", whilst the single disc edition "Footprints-The Best of 2001-2011" comes in at No.23. Another longtime local act debuts at No.25, albiet as part of a tribute album. "Rewiggled: A Tribute to The Wiggles" features local acts such The Living End, Jebediah, Washington, Spiderbait, Frenzal Rhomb, Angie Hart and The Audrey's amongst its twenty tracks. In between those two local acts is Melbourne four-piece band The Getaway Plan, who debut at No.17 with their second album "Requiem", whilst their first album "Other Voices, Other Rooms" debuted and peaked at No.14 in February of 2008.

 

Christian contemporary music artist Chris Tomlin debuts at No.19 with his 2009 Christmas album "Glory in the Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship".A new best-of collection for Pink Floyd entitled "A Foot in the Door: The Best of Pink Floyd" debuts at No.40, whilst their 1975 No.1 album "Wish You Were Here" (4 weeks from 13-Oct) has been re-mastered and re-packaged and re-enters at No.66.

 

Lower 50: k.d. Lang's greatest hits set "Recollection" jumps back up thirty places to No.54, and future tourist Taylor Swift see's her "Speak Now" album jump back up fifteen places to No.64. "The Very Best of The Doors" re-enters at No.69, and Stevie Nicks' "Crystal Visions... The Very Best of" comes back in at No.88.

 

Sigur Ros debut at No.60 with their first live album "Inni", which is the fifth chart appearance in Australia. Steel Panther debut at No.76 with their second album "Balls Out", their first not charting here, and the Bloc Party lead singer Kele debuts at No.79 with his second album "The Hunter", his first "The Boxer" made it to No.35 in July 2010.

 

Are the iTunes charts not very indicative of the overall album charts in Australia then (unlike the US and UK where they seem to run close). Ed Sheeran "+" has been top 5 all week on iTunes but 'only' managed #21 on the album charts.

the big majority of album sales in Australia & the rest of the world is physical copies...

so the itunes chart only counts for single sales...

Interesting, thanks. Yeah the singles' chart seem to mirror the iTunes chart quite well.
