Singles

 

The winner of the third series of Australia’s version of X-Factor blasts into the No.1 position this week after only two days of sales. Seventeen year-old (his birthday was on 24-Nov) Reece Mastin from Adelaide, debuts at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart on Gold sales status with his first release “Good Night”, as is the first XF winner to do so, as Random and Altiyan Childs both debuted in the Top 10 (#7 and #8 respectively), but fell away quickly.

 

“Good Night” is the 985th No.1 single in Australia since 1940, and Reese becomes the 147th Australian performer to reach the top and the 36th Australian Solo Male act to top the local charts. “Good Night:” is the second only ‘goodnight’ to reach No.1 here, the only other being “Goodnight Irene” by Gordon Jenkins & the Weavers back in December 1950 (almost sixty one years ago).

 

Reese is only the second person this year to debut at No.1, the other being back in late February when Lady GaGa debuted at the top with “Born This Way”, and Reece is the third local act to reach the top during 2011, with his X-Factor mentor Guy Sebastian scoring a second week at the top during January with “Who’s That Girl”, and Gotye being the other with “Somebody That I Used to Know” (TW-19) during August and September. Reece is also the 23rd act (winner or runner-up) from a music reality series to top the ARIA Charts since Bardot in 2000.

 

Ed Sheeran holds at No.2 with his debut single “The A Team”, which looked set to take the top spot this week, but with Reese’s win of X-Factor, it kept him at No.2 for a second week. And after six weeks at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart, LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know it” drops down two places to No.3, but don’t expect it to drop much further, as the guys return to the country this week as a part of the Stereo Sonic music festival. Dropping down a place each are Rihanna and Calvin Harris with “We Found Love” to No.4 and “Good Feeling” for Flo Rida to No.5.

 

Lloyd, Andre 3000 and Lil’ Wayne hold at No.6 with “Dedication to My Ex (Miss that)”, and up two places to a new peak of No.8 is One Direction and their single “What Make You Beautiful”. In between those two is the second Top 10 debut of the week, coming in at No.7 is “Don’t Worry Be Happy” for Guy Sebastian (which is NOT a cover of the 1988 Bobby McFerrin No.1 single), and it becomes his eighth Top 10 single from thirteen Top 50 entries. Also climbing into the Top 10 are “Hangover” for Taio Cruz and Flo Rida, up six places to No.9 and it becomes Taio’s third Top 10 entry; and up four to No.10 is “Young, Wild and Free” for Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and Bruno Mars. It becomes Snoop’s eighth Top 10 appearance, and Bruno’s seventh. Mention must also go to “Moves like Jagger”, which after nineteen weeks in the Top 10, (ten of those at No.2) it takes a dramatic plunge from No.5 to No.11 this week. ‘Jagger’ matches the nineteen weeks that Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” spent from May to September of this year.

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Coldplay’s “Paradise” jumps eleven places to a new peak of No.13, and Bruno Mars is up one place to No.15 with “It Will Rain”. Jason DeRulo exhales three places to No.17 with “Breathing” and joining the Top 20 at No.20 is Nickelback and “When We Stand Together”. The second Twilight 4.1 song, “A Thousand Years” for Christina Perri, is up six places to No.21, and jumping eleven places to No.28 are the Glee gang and their Adele mash-up’s, “Rumor Has it”/”Someone Like You”.

Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” climbs to a new peak of No.32, and right behind her is Israel Cruz and his track “Party Up”, which leaps twenty-five places to No.33 (helped possibly by being used in the ads for David Attenborough’s ‘Frozen Planet’ series). Also leaping into the Top 50 is Rihanna with “You Da One”, up nineteen places to No.41, and up twelve spots to No.47, and scoring his first Top 50 entry, is local rapper 360 featuring Gossling with his track “Boys like you”.

 

Rihanna’s sixth album in six years makes a big splash into the Top 10 this week, and first single from the album “We Found Love” is sitting at No.4 this week. Last week “You Da One” debuted from the album, and climbs to No.41 this week, but also debuting from the album this week are “Where Have You Been” at No.46 and the title track, “Talk That Talk” featuring Jay-Z at No.61. Plus she also debuts with Drake on his No.45 debut “Take Care”, the title track from his new album which debuts in the Top 20 this week. Last Top 50 entry of the week is a re-entry thanks to their X-Factor performance. The Fray return at No.50 with their former No.1 single “You Found Me” whilst their new single “Heartbeat” is expected to debut soon. And returning at No.87 thanks to the X-Factor is The Stereophonics’ with “Dakota” at No.87, both songs were performed by runner-up Andrew Wishart.

 

Lower 50: Bruno Mars climbs fifteen places to No.52 with his new single “Count on Me”, and leaping thirty places to No.62 is Matt Corby and his new track “Into the Flame”. Lana Del Ray jumps fifteen places to No.64 with her sultry track “Video Games”, and the Black Keys track “Lonely Boys” is also up fifteen places to No.76 this week.

 

The official fourth single from Adele’s “21” album is “Rumor has it”, which comes in at No.60 this week, and it also helps her album to climb back up to No.2 this week. Another UK act debuts at No.84, One Direction enter with “Na Na Na”, which is the ‘b-side’ (if they still exist) of their first entry “What Makes You Beautiful” which is up to No.8 this week.

 

Last new entry of the week is another Glee mash-up. Entering at No.90 is “Hit Me with Your Best Shot”/”One Way or Another”. ‘Best Shot’ was a hit in early 1981 for Pat Benatar, reaching No.33, and ‘One Way’ was an album track from Blondie’s 1979 album “Parallel Lines” {the one that had ‘Heart of Glass’ on it), and was a Top 30 hit in the US and Top 20 in Canada, but failed to chart here. It’s the Glee troupe’s 102nd chart entry.

 

Albums

 

The seventh album for Nickelback “Here and Now” is their fifth album to chart here in Australia, and by debuting at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart this week it becomes their first No.1 album, and gives them a peaking place at each position within the Top 5 from their previous four albums.

Their third album (and first to chart here) “Silver Side Up” peaked at No.5 in November 2001; album number four was “The Long Road” which debuted and peaked at No.4 in October 2003. Two years later in October 2005 they spent two weeks at No.2 with “All the Right Reasons”, and then in late November 2008 they debuted at No.3 with “Dark Horse”, giving them 5-4-2-3 placements within the Top 5, and now their straight-flush is complete as “Here and Now” takes out the top spot first week on the Albums Chart.

“Here and Now” is the 637th No.1 album in Australia (1965 to 2011), and only the second for the Roadrunner label, the other being Slipknot’s “All Hope is Gone” from September 2008. Nickelback are the first Canadian Group to ever hit No.1 in Australia, but the ninth Canadian performers, with the 21st Canadian performed No.1 album, plus the second this year, as Avril Lavigne hit the top in March with “Goodbye Lullaby”. “Here and Now” is the fifth album with ‘Here’ in its title and the fourth with ‘Now’ the only other album with both words previously being Oasis and “Be Here Now” (31-Aug-97, 1 week).

 

Adele’s “21” climbs back up one place to No.2 this week, swapping places with Michael Buble’s “Christmas”, which drops back one place to No.3. The last two weeks saw Susan Boyle’s third album “Someone to Watch over Me” at No.1, but this week it drops down three places to No.4. Also former No.1 album “Ceremonials” for Florence + the Machine is down two places to No.6.

Climbing back up two places to No.7 is LMFAO’s “Sorry for Party Rocking”, which could keep climbing helped by their current tour as a part of Stereo Sonic. Peaking at No.5 last week was the “Triple J: Like a Version Volume 7”, which this week falls three places to No.8. The “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1” soundtrack climbs back up to it’s debut position of No.9, and falling three spots to No.10 is Cold Chisel’s “The Best of Cold Chisel - All for You”

 

Debuting at No.5 is the sixth album for Rihanna, “Talk That Talk”, and of the five albums that have charted here (her first didn’t enter the Top 100); this is her fourth Top 10 album. Already four tracks from this new album are within the Top 100 chart this week, (see above for those) and below is her ARIA Albums Chart history…

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Dolly Parton’s current national tour has helped her recent album (her 41st) “Better Day” leap up twenty-five places to No.29, and this is her first Top 40 appearance since 2007’s #38 “The Very Best of”. 360’s first Top 50 entry helps his album “Falling & Flying” to climb back up to No.35, and a newly re-packaged “Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits” for Elton John re-enters the Top 100 at No.38.

 

Drake’s debut album “Thank Me Later” reached No.81 in June 2010, and now this week his second album “Take Care” far surpasses his first by debuting at No.15. The two singles released from the new album are this week’s No.45 debut “Take Care” featuring Rihanna, and last week’s debut of “Make Me Proud” featuring Nicki Minaj which made it to No.95, but drops out this week.

 

The final Australian Idol winner, Stan Walker, debuts at No.18 with his third album “Let the Music Play”. His first two albums “Introducing” (Dec 2009) and “From the Inside Out” (Sept 2010) reached No.3 and No.2 respectively, and this new album has so far had the singles “Loud” (HP-9, peaked June 2011) and “Light it Up” (HP-45, Nov 2011, TW-63).

 

The tenth studio album for Kate Bush is entitled “50 Words for Snow”, and debuts at No.22 this week. She only released one album during the 90’s, and for this century this is her third album, plus second for this year, as “The Directors Cut” from June hit No.41. The fifth album for Australian singer David Campbell is an eighties cover album entitled “Let’s Go”, and it debuts at No.23, with his previous four albums all reaching the Top 10. And in a group of three back-to-back new entries comes the No.24 debut for Snow Patrol and “Fallen Empires”, which is the bands sixth studio and seventh album released (a GH package was out in 2009), and becomes their fourth entry here.

 

The third album for Daughtry becomes their third Top 40 entry, as “Break the Spell” enters at No.32. Their first album “Daughtry” made it to No.38 in May of 2007, and then their second album “Leave This Town” made it to No.21 in July 2009.

 

Lower 50: Judith Durham’s “Colours of My Life” enters the Top 100 at No.57, with her last solo appearance being 1994’s “Let me Find Love” which made it to No.8. Steel Panther re-enter at No.69 and score a new peak with their second album “Balls Out”. R.E.M. announced their break-up earlier this year, and a new best of for them debuts at No.71 entitled “Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011”. And lastly, debuting at No.77, is “Sinatra: Best of the Best” for Frank Sinatra.

 

Great #1, I don't mind reality show winners incumbent singles getting to the top if they're actually decent songs and deserving of it! Shame for Ed though...

 

A little surprised that Rihanna's album only managed a #5 debut, she's obviously not quite the star there that she is in the UK :o

A bit disappointed by Ed Sheeran's fall on the album chart... I was thinking "+" would outpeak #8.

I really didn't like Reece during the show but his winner's single is brilliant, a well worthy number 1 :wub:

I haven't heard Reece's winner song but his duet with Kylie was awful.

And I know I've said this a million times already and been offered an explanation, but I still can't believe how unrepresentative the Oz iTunes album charts are of the official ARIA ones! Probably because I'm so used to the UK and US iTunes album charts.

About time LMFAO gets off #1 tbh..
