Singles

 

The triple Platinum sales for “Sexy and I Know it” prove that it's six week run at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart has paid off nicely for LMFAO, as it once again leads the pack of singles sales within Australia for the past week. And whilst the entire Top 5 stays within the top five, a few things move around. Ed Sheeran did a promo tour of the country last week, playing X-Factor on Tuesday night, and that has helped his single "The A Team" to leap again this week, to No.2 now, which pushes down Rihanna and Calvin Harris to No.3 with "We Found Love" after it spent the past five weeks at No.2. Flo Rida spends a third week at No.4 with "Good Feeling", and dropping back to No.5 is "Moves like Jagger" for Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera, a place the song has appeared at three times during October.

 

Leaping eight places to land at No.6 is the ensemble of Lloyd, Andre 3000 and Lil' Wayne with Lloyd's track "Dedication to My Es (Miss that)", which pushes down David Guetta and Usher's "Without You" to No.7. Foster the People spend a third week at No.8 with "Pumped up Kicks", and down two places to No.9 is Calvin Harris and "Feel So Close". The second Top 10 entry of the week is UK boy-band One Direction and their debut single "What Makes You Beautiful", which is up six places to No.10.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and Bruno Mars are up three places to a new peak of No.14 with "Young, Wild & Free", and Taio Cruz and Flo Rida climb four places to No.15 with "Hangover". Thanks to Twilight 4.1 opening in cinemas last week, Bruno Mars' "It Will Rain" from the film jumps eight places to No.16, whilst the other song from the soundtrack "A Thousand Years" for Christina Perri climbs seven places to No.27. Ricki-Lee is up four places and into the Top 20 at No.19 with "Raining Diamonds", and leaping a massive sixteen places to No.20 is the new one for Jason DeRulo, "Breathing".

Sean Paul and Alexis Jordan are making luv at No.26, up three places, with "Got 2 Luv U", and also thanks to her X-Factor appearance, Florence + the Machine jump up eleven places to No.37 (HP-36) with "Shake it Out". Luciana is up a couple of places to No.42 with "I'm Still Hot", and breaking into the Top 50 are Hot Chelle Rae with "I Like it Like That" (up six places to No.44), Qwote and Pitbull with "Throw Your Hands Up" (climbing fourteen places to No.45) and andother Pitbull track, this one featuring Chris Brown, "International Love", is up twelve places to No.48.

 

Last week the Glee Cast scored their 100th chart entry in Australia, and this week they score the highest new entry by debuting at No.39 with entry No.101, a mash-up of the Adele songs "Rumour Has it"/"Someone Like You", which the gang performed on the show this past Tuesday night. There is also another medley of songs that debuts a little lower at No.41, Michael Jackson's "Immortal Megamix". A new compilation of Michael's songs has been mixed together, which are mainly used for the new Cirque du Soleil's show "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour". The medley of songs featured in this megamix are "Can You Feel it" (HP-10 peaked Dec 1980), "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" (HP-1, peaked Jan 1980), "Billie Jean" (HP-1, peaked April 1983) and "Black and White" (HP-1 peaked Dec 1991). The album "Immortal" is out in Australia this coming Friday (25th November).

 

Lower 50: 360 holds at his peak of No.59 with "Boys like Us", and talking of boys, These Kids Wear Crowns climb five places to No.62 with "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". Duck Sauce hold at No.71 with their new track "Big Bad Wolf", and up eight places to No.80 is Lady GaGa's "Marry the Night". Two re-entries score new peaks this week, with Israel Cruz back in at No.58 with "Party Up", and Adele's "Turning Tables" back in at a new peak of No.73. Plus Florence + the Machine score two re-entries at No.84 and No.100 with "You've got the Love" and "Dog Days are Over" respectively.

 

Rihanna's new album is out this week entitled "Talk That Talk", and lead single "We Found Love" is sitting at No.3, whilst the second single from the album is "You Da One", which enters at No.60 this week. The fifth single from the Bruno Mars album "Doo-Wops and Hooligans" (TW-20) is "Count on Me", which debuts at No.67 this week. It's now one of seven Bruno tracks in the Top 100, with his collaboration with Snoop Dogg, “Young, Wild and Free” at No.14, his Twilight 4.1 tune “It Will Rain” at No.16, former Top 10 track’s “Marry You” at No.57 and “The Lazy Song” at No.83, his contribution to “Lighters” for Bad Meets Evil at No.81, whilst his first No.1, “Just the Way You Are” is sitting at No.93 in it’s 65th week in the Top 100.

 

American rock duo The Black Keys score their second ARIA Singles chart entry by debuting at No.91 with "Lonely Boy", the lead single from their early December due seventh album "Camino". Their other previous entry was August 2004’s “10:00am Automatic” (HP-86) Local artist Matt Corby debuts at No.92 with his new track "Into the Flame", his first Top 100 entry, and coming in at No.95 is Drake feat Nicki Minaj on his new track "Make Me Proud".

 

Albums

 

The past three weeks, we've had new No.1 debuts on the ARIA Albums Chart, but this week there is a rest before the next batch of huge acts release their new material (coming out this week are albums by Nickelback, Rihanna, Snow Patrol, Kate Bush, Justice Crew and Stan Walker). So Susan Boyle stays at No.1 for a second week with her third album "Someone to Watch Over Me", but it still has a long way to go before matching or eclipsing her first album "I Dreamed a Dream" which was No.1 for eleven weeks. That album and her second are back in the Top 50 this week, with "Dream" up thirty places to No.29, and "The Gift" (HP-2 for six weeks) is also up thirty places, to No.48.

 

So only a little movement and one entry to the Top 10 this week, with Michael Buble's "Christmas" holding at No.2, which makes it the longest running No.2 Xmas album (as we haven't had a No.1 Xmas album… yet), beating out Mariah Carey's number two album "Merry Christmas", which was a No.2 for a single week; the week prior to Christmas 1994.

 

Swapping places are Adele's "21", back up to No.3, and Florence + the Machine's "Ceremonials", is down to No.4, and also doing the same are Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto", down to No.6, and up one to a new peak of No.5 is Triple J's "Like a Version Volume 7". Ed Sheeran scores the only entry from the Top 100 to the Top 10 this week, as his debut album "+" benefits from his promo tour last week as it leaps thirteen places to No.8. Rounding out the Top 10 are LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking", down one to No.9, and also dropping a single place is the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" soundtrack, down to No.10.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Up a single spot to a new peak of No.22 is "Footprints - The Best of Powderfinger 2001-2011", but another best of, Pink Floyd's "A Foot in the Door: The Best of" leaps up thirteen places to No.27. Mark Vincent's profiling on last weeks 'Best of' Australia's Got Talent’ shows might have helped his latest album "Songs from the Heart" to leap back up from No.58 (twenty-seven places) to No.31. Also jumping back into the Top 50 are k.d. Lang's "Recollection", up sixteen places to No.38, and due to her current national tour, Stevie Nicks' "Crystal Visions: The Very Best of" is up forty-four places to No.44, whilst her previous studio album "In Your Dreams" (HP-24, June 2011), is back in at No.89, and “The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac” climbs five places to No.24.

 

The highest new entry to the Top 100 this week is "The Lost Children" by American hard-rock group The Disturbed. It's a compilation album of their rare and b-side tracks, and is their sixth album to chart in Australia. Their last two albums being “Asylum” (HP-2, Sept 2010) and their No.1 album “Indestructible” (peaked June 2008).

 

Former Whitlams frontman Tim Friedman scores his first chart entry by debuting at No.19 with his debut solo album, "Australian Idle", containing his version of songs by Australia performers. Another local act comes in at No.23; Sydney's Bluejuice" with their third album "Company". Album number two for these guys was "Head of the Hawk" which made it to No.37 in October 2009.

 

Last December, the Glee gang took their first Christmas album "Glee: The Music - The Christmas Album" to No.13 (albiet without the screening in Australia {not until February the following year} of the episode associated with the album). So hopefully this year Channel 10 play the episode at the right time of the year to boost the album sales, as their new Christmas album "Glee: The Music - The Christmas Album Volume 2" debuts at No.28.

 

And another sequel album debuts at No.42, Seal's "Soul 2", which follows on from "Soul" which first hit the charts in November 2008 reaching No.17, but eventually peaked at No.16 when he toured on the back of the album during June of 2009.

 

Lower 50: Dolly Parton's tour of Australia has helped her current album "Better Day" to re-enter and score a new peak of No.54 this week. Whilst one place lower debuting at No.55, is the Hillsong Church with "Born is the King". Also debuting in the lower half of the Top 100, is "Love: The Album Parts 1 & 2" for Blink-182 front man Tom DeLonge vocalist/guitarist as a part of Angels & Airwaves at No.80, and "Discoveries" for local group Northlane at No.85.

 

Can we expect Ed Sheeran to top the ARIA chart next week as he's been #1 on iTunes since TXF performance? also hopefully "+" enters the Top 5. "A team" has already peaked better in Oz than it did in the UK!
