Singles

 

X-Factor winner Reece Mastin holds for a second week at the summit of the ARIA Singles Chart with his track “Good Night”, which last week debut at the top on a Gold sales certification, and now this week it has gone up to a Platinum accreditation. Also last week Reese became the youngest male solo artist since Chris Brown first topped the charts at the age of 16.8 years back in January 2006 with “Run it!”.

 

With LMFAO back in the country at the moment as a part of the Stereosonic tour, their former six week No.1 “Sexy and I Know it” turns around and goes back up the charts one place to No.2, swapping places with Ed Sheeran’s two week run at No.2 for “The A Team”. After two weeks at No.6, Lloyd and his gang climb two places to a new peak of No.4 with “Dedication to My Ex (Miss that)”, which pushes down Rihanna’s “We Found Love” to No.5 this week (it’s been dropping one place a week for the past three weeks).

 

Guy Sebastian’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy” and Taio Cruz and Flo Rida with “Hangover” each move up one place each to new peaks of No.6 and No.8 respectively. Whilst Flo’s other Top 10 track, “Good Feeling” falls four places to No.9, and scoring their sixth Top 10 entry in Australia are Coldplay, who climb three places to No.10 with “Paradise”.

 

ARIA AWARDS: Gotye jumps back into the Top 10 for a sixteenth week at No.7 with “Somebody That I Used to Know”, which was helped by his and the songs three ARIA Awards last weekend. The track won for “Single of the Year” and “Best Pop Release”, whilst Gotye won himself for “Best Male Artist”. Boy & Bear’s “Feeding Line” jumps back in at No.57, it won for “Best Breakthrough Artist: Single”, as did their album (more on that below), and Drapht is back in at No.93 with “Rapunzel” which he performed at the opening of the ceremony and he won the ARIA for “Best Urban Album”. Guy Sebastian won the award for “Highest Selling Single”, which was for “Who’s That Girl”, which this week climbs back up nineteen places to No.76.

 

MOVERS & NEW PEAKS: Jason DeRulo exhales another five places up the charts this week with “Breathing”, now up to No.12, and for the third week in a row, Bruno Mars is up one place, this time to No.14 with “It Will Rain”. Katy Perry climbs four places to a new peak of No.28 with “The One That Got Away”, whilst Rihanna jumps ten places to No.31 with her new single “You Da One”.

Entering the Top 50 for the firs time are Bruno Mars with “Count on Me” (up eleven places to No.41), Avicii with “Levels”, which is up twenty-three places to No.45, and right behind him at No.46 is Matt Corby and “Into the Flames”, jumping up sixteen places this week.

 

Adelaide group The Hilltop Hoods team up with Adelaide singer Sia for the track “I Love it”, which debuts at No.18 this week to score the highest new entry of the week. It’s the first taste of their sixth album, which is due in February 2012 and is entitled “Drinking from the Sun”.

 

The second Top 50 debut of the week is the title track from Kelly Clarkson’s new album “Stronger” (TW-20) entitled “What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger)”, which enters at No.44 this week. The previous single “Mr. Know it All” (HP-1) is at No.29 this week.

 

Lower 50: Lana Del Ray is the only new peaking track in the lower fifty, as “Video Games” climbs eight places to No.56. Eminem is touring the country at the moment, which has caused his last No.1 single “Love the Way You Lie” (with Rihanna) to jump back up twenty-three places to No.75, plus he re-enters with two tracks, “Lose Yourself” at No.81 and “Not Afraid” at No.83.

 

The two new entries in the lower fifty this week come from recent visitors here The Fray, who enter at No.66 with “Heartbeat”, and at No.69 is “T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)” for Will.I.Am featuring Mick Jagger and Jennifer Lopez, which is taken off his early 2012 due fourth album “#willpower”.

 

Albums

 

The last (and only other) time a Canadian act knocked a Canadian act off the ARIA Albums Chart No.1 spot was back in May 2010 when k.d. Lang and Justin Bieber played top-tag with their albums. Now this week Nickelback are knocked off the top (the first Canadian group to hit No.1) by Michael Buble’s “Christmas” album, the first Xmas No.1 album in Australia. It’s also the twenty-second No.1 by a Canadian act, and the 176th by a Male Solo Artist.

Its Michael’s fourth No.1 album here, and the eleventh for the Reprise label, with Michael’s “Crazy Love” being their last back in October 2009 and again in February 2011. It also takes Mr. Buble’s tally of weeks accumulated at the top to fourteen, placing him at equal 36th on the list of ‘Acts with Accumulated Weeks at No.1 – Albums’ alongside Crowded House (five albums), The Bee Gees (three albums) and Whitney Houston (two albums). It also helps close the gap between Michael and Bryan Adams’ weeks at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart, as Bryan amassed eighteen weeks at No.1 during the 90’s.

 

Adele’s long running No.1 album “21” holds at No.2, as Nickelback’s “Here and Now” swaps places with Michael Buble’s Christmas, as it falls two places to No.3, and Susan Boyle holds at No.4 in her fourth week inside the Top 4 with “Someone to Watch Over Me”.

 

British boy-band One Direction scores the highest new entry of the week with their debut album “Up All Night” which enters the charts at No.5. It debuted at No.2 in England and Scotland, went to No.1 in Sweden and so far is Top 10 in Belgium and The Netherlands, and lead single from the album “What Makes You Beautiful” is sitting at No.11 after peaking at No.8 last week.

 

LMFAO’s “Sorry for Party Rocking” is back up one place to No.6, which is spending its 21st week inside the Top 10. Rihanna’s “Talk That Talk” is down two places to No.7 after scoring a No.5 debut last week. Returning to the Top 10 at No.8 and No.9 respectively are Tony Bennett’s “Duets II” and Coldplay’s “Mylo Xyloto”, whilst former No.1 “Ceremonials” for Florence + the Machine is down four places to No.10.

 

ARIA AWARDS; Albums – Boy & Bear won five ARIA Awards, four of those going to their debut album “Moonfire”; ‘Album of the Year’, ‘Adult Alternative Album’, ‘Best Group’ and ‘Breakthrough Artist-Album’, which has no doubt helped their album to leap from No.45 to No.11 (up thirty-four places) this week. Gotye was the other big winner of the night, and his album “Making Mirrors” is back up four places to No.12. Kimbra won the award for ‘Best Female Artist’, which helps her album “Vows” to climb back up eleven places to No.36. Nominee Damien Leith (Adult Contemporary Award) sees his album “Roy” jump back up twenty-thee places to No.57, and Geoffrey Gurumul performance at the awards ceremony has helped his album “Rrakala” to re-enter at No.68.

 

MOVERS & NEW PEAKS: Bruno Mars’ “Doo-Wops and Hooligans” has been re-issued with bonus material, which helps it to jump up five places this week to No.15. Pink Floyd’s latest greatest hits package “A Foot in the Door: The Best of” climbs for a third week, up seven places to a new peak of No.21 this week. Elton John’s “Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits” is up twelve places to No.26, and leaping back up fifty two places to No.33 is Chris Tomlin’s “Glory to the Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship”. Currently touring the country are The Foo Fighters and Eminem. The Foo’s latest album “Wasting Light” is up nineteen places to No.34, whilst their “Greatest Hits” collection is up thirty-three places to No.55. Eminem’s tour only began late last week, so expect a bigger jump next week, but still a forty-four places jump for “Recovery” to No.54 is a good start.

 

Taylor Swift’s tour of Australia occurs in March 2012, and to give us a taste of what to expect from her shows, Taylor’s first live album “Speak Now World Tour” debuts at No.30. The CD comes with a bonus DVD or Blu Ray live concert also, and her “Speak Now” album is also on the charts, at No.59 this week.

 

The third Top 50 debut of the week comes in at No.43, “Immortal” for Michael Jackson, which is a soundtrack for the new Cirque du Soleil theatrical performance entitled “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour”. A mega-mix of tracks recently hit No.41 on the national charts, and this new album features over twenty of Michael’s songs.

 

Lower 50: Frank Sinatra’s “Sinatra: Best of the Best” jumps up seven places to a new peak of No.70, and with the release this week on DVD and Blu Ray of the Australian film “Red Dog”, its soundtrack re-enters at No.73. And the newly re-mastered and re-packaged “Some Girls” for the Rolling Stones (HP-3, June 1978) is back in the charts at No.93.

 

“Born This Way – The Remix” for Lady GaGa debuts at No.62, whilst the first version of the album is up seven places to No.71 this week. Tony Bennett debuts one place lower at No.63 with “The Classic Christmas Album”, whilst former Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell debuts at No.76 with his fourth album “Songbook”. Each successive album has reached lower positions, with his 2009 album “Scream” reaching No.69. Triple J unearthed winners for 2011 were Snakadaktal, and their self-titled debut album enters at No.78. Hot Chelle Rae score their first ARIA Albums Chart entry by debuting at No.82 with their second album “Whatever”, and lastly, debuting at No.100 is the self-titled album by 2Cellos, helped possibly by the Ellen appearances.
