Singles

 

Flo Rida scores his third No.1 single in Australia this week, by climbing up a single place with his latest track “Wild Ones” featuring local singer Sia (this is now her highest chart placing). Previously Flo has reached No.1 with the track “Low” (3 weeks from 24-March-2008) and then eleven months later with “Right Round” (7 weeks from 23-Feb-2009) which featured a then new singer by the name of Ke$ha.

 

“Wild Ones” becomes the 16th No.1 for the Atlantic label in Australia since they first made it to the top in March 1970 with Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”, and Flo Rida has provided three of the five Atlantic No.1’s this century, with Uncle Kracker’s “Follow Me” (July 2001) and Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long” (August 2008) being the other two for the label.

 

Flo’s climb to the top with “Wild Ones” makes it the 987th No.1 in Australia (1940 to 2012) and the 421st ARIA No.1 (1983 to 2012), plus it takes his tally of accumulated weeks at the top to eleven. “Wild Ones” is only the second track to reach the top with the word ‘Wild’ in its title. It was previously at No.1 in The Troggs song “Wild Thing” (2 weeks) back in July of 1966.

 

Last week both Flo Rida and Timomatic jumped into the Top 10, and this week Timomatic’s “Set it off” continues its climb up the charts, rising two places to No.2 this week, whilst one of three Top 10 entries for this week leaps into the Top 10 at No.3 (up eleven places), David Guetta and Nicki Minaj with “Turn Me On”. It becomes the fifth Top 10 hit from his current album “Nothing but the Beat” (TW-13), and is the second highest charting track from that album behind the No.1 song “Sweat” for Snoop Dogg vs. David Guetta. It’s also his third No.3 single, the other two being “Club Can’t Handle Me” (Flo Rida feat…) (peaked August 2010) and “Memories” with Kid Cudi (peaked March 2010).

 

Coldplay’s “Paradise” drops a place to No.4 after two weeks at No.3, and holding at No.5 is Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa and Bruno Mars with “Young, Wild and Free”. The second Top 10 entry of the week is Simple Plan with “Summer Paradise”, which jumps up five places to land at No.6 this week, becoming the group’s sixth Top 10 entry, and now equal highest charting track alongside “Perfect” which peaked at No.6 for two weeks in July of 2004 and was their very first taste of top ten success.

 

Last week’s No.1 single “Pumped up Kicks” for Foster the People falls from its No.1 perch to No.7 this week after only a single week at the top. Down one place apiece is Guy Sebastian’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy” to No.8 and One Direction with “What Makes You Beautiful” to No.9. The third top ten entry of the week comes from Laurent Wery featuring SwiftKid and Dev on the track “Hey Hey Hey (Pop another Bottle)”, which leaps up thirteen places to No.10 this week.

 

MOVERS & NEW PEAKS: Hot Chelle Rae spend a third week at their peak of No.17 with their latest track “I Like it Like That”, but right behind them at No.18 is Drake and Rihanna on his track “Take Care”, which jumps up ten places this week, whilst the Hilltop Hoods re-enter the Top 20 at No.19 with their former No.18 single “I Love it”.

 

The Black Keys’ unique sound has helped their current single “Lonely Boy” to leap seven places to a new peak of No.25 this week, and up three spots to No.27 are Pitbull and Chris Brown on Pit’s track “International Love”. 360 and Gossling climb six places into the Top 30 to No.29 with the single “Boys like You”, and also up six spots to No.32 is LMFAO’s “Sorry for Party Rocking”.

 

Skrillex cracked the Top 50 for the first time last week, and this week he scores his first Top 40 entry, as “Bangarang” jumps up ten places to No.34, whilst there are two new entries to the Top 50 this week, with Professor Green climbing nine places to No.46 with “Read All About it”, which becomes his highest charting track in Australia, surpassing the No.49 peak of his August 2010 single “Just Be Good to Green”. The second entry into the top fifty comes from Lana Del Ray, who last week debuted at No.71 with the track “Born to Die”, and is up twenty-one places to No.50 this week, whilst her other currently charting single “Video Games” is up sixteen places to a new peak of No.52.

 

Other lower 51-100 chart peaks and movements come from Qwote and Pitbull with the former No.45 track “Thrown Your Hands Up”, which is back up twenty-nine places to No.53 this week. Jessie J’s fifth ARIA chart entry “Laserlight”, races up thirteen places to No.57, and up four places to No.58 are Foster the People with their new single “Call it What You Want”.

 

Jason Mraz has not had a substantial hit in Australia since his 2008 No.3 single “I’m Yours”, but this week he scores his second highest charting single here by leaping up twenty-seven places to No.61 with “I Won’t Give Up”, which beats the No.63 peak his debut single “The Remedy” achieved in 2003. And jumping twenty-six places to No.64 are Chiddy Bang with their new track “Ray Charles”. Beating both of those for a bigger jump is the second charting single of the week from Skrillex, “Kyoto”, which is up twenty-eight spots to No.69, whilst the last lower peak is from Beyonce, who is up a couple of places to No.85 with “I Was Here”.

 

There is only ONE new entry to the Top 100 this week and that is from Avicii (aka Tim Berg) with his new single here; “Fade into Darkness”, which enters at No.70. His other currently charting track “Levels” (HP-26) is sitting at No.28 this week, and this new track was released overseas prior to “Levels”, where it has reached No.4 in his home country of Sweden, plus Top 20 in Poland, Top 30 in The Netherlands and Top 40 in the UK Dance charts. The song interpolates elements from the track “Perpetuum Mobile” by Penguin Café Orchestra, which most Australians would be familiar with as the music used in the animated film “Mary & Max” (2009) and again as part of Origin Energy’s ‘Sustainability Drive’ advert from last year. In case you don’t what the original sounds like, check it out here:

 

Apart from Avicii’s only NEW entry of the week, there are five re-entries to the Top 100, starting off at No.80 with Will.i.am featuring Mick Jagger and Jennifer Lopez with “T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)”. San Cisco come back in at No.87 with “Awkward” and the official new single from Rihanna’s album is the title track “Talk That Talk” (HP-61, Dec 2011) featuring Jay-Z, which is back in at No.91. The Wanted come back in at No.95 with “Glad You Came”, and Florence + the Machine re-enter at No.98 with “Shake it out”.

 

Albums

 

Adele has achieved 52 weeks on the chart this week with her second album “21”, plus she accumulates her twenty-sixth week at No.1, making it half a year on top. The album originally debuted at No.3 the week of 31st of January, 2011 and stayed within the Top 10 for its first seven weeks before dropping to No.11 then No.12, after which it has never been lower than No.4 (April and November 2011), meaning it has now spent 50 of its 52 weeks inside the Top 10.

To put those 50 weeks inside the Top 10 into perspective, that’s the same amount of weeks Savage Gardens second album “Affirmation” achieved back in 1999/2000 (their first album achieved 47 weeks in the Top 10), and that album is ranked at equal ninth on the list of ‘ARIA Albums with the Most Weeks in the Top 10’ (1988-2011). Plus with her 26th week at No.1, she moves past John Farnham’s 25 weeks at the top with “Whispering Jack” and puts her in the running to eclipse the next No.1 ARIA Albums chart record, Delta Goodrem’s 29 weeks at the top for “Innocent Eyes”. There is one record which is closer though, the “Hair” Broadway Cast Recording from 1969 spent 28 weeks at No.1, so that puts Adele right behind that record at No.7 on the list of ‘Most Weeks at No.1’ (1965 to 2012).

 

For a third week in a row (fourth overall), LMFAO are at No.2 with their album “Sorry for Party Rocking”, but climbing two places to another new peak, this week No.3, are Foster the People with their debut album “Torches”, which is benefiting from their former No.1 single “Pumped Up Kicks” and rising new track “Call it What You Want”. Also up this week to a new peak is One Direction and their debut set “Up All Night”, which rises four places to No.4.

 

Coldplay fall back one spot to No.5 with “Mylo Xyloto” and holding at No.6 and No.7 respectively are Bruno Mars with “Doo Wops & Hooligans” and The Black Keys with “El Camino”, plus Bruno is spending his 42nd week inside the Top 10. Reece Mastin tumbles five places to No.8 with his self-titled debut album, and returning to the Top 10 for a third week at No.9 is 360 with his album “Falling and Flying” (HP-4, Oct 2011), with Triple J’s Like a Version Volume 7 rounding out the top ten at No.10.

 

MOVERS & NEW PEAKS: Beyonce’s “4” album climbs back into the Top 20 at No.19 (up seven places), and up again this week to a new peak of No.27 is Michael Crawford’s “The Story of My Life”. Christina Perri’s “lovestrong” album climbs back up eight places to No.37, and returning to the Top 50 since July 2011 are the Arctic Monkeys and their fourth album “Suck it and See”, up fifteen places to No.42.

With the Big Day Out concerts about to roll out around the country, some acts benefit this week like Foster the People in the Top 5, but scoring the highest entry of the week is the returning “Velociraptor!” (HP-8, Oct 2011) for Kasabian, which is back in at No.45. Also re-entering thanks to BDO are Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds with their self-titled album at No.80, and another head-liner, Nero, climb up fourteen places to No.71 with their “Welcome Reality” album. And lastly lead-act Kanye West is back in at No.98 with “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” and up three places to No.46 with Jay-Z on “Watch the Throne”.

Also climbing back up the charts are albums from The Wombats, “This Modern Glitch”, which is up twenty-three places to No.47. Leaping forty-six spots to No.51 is PJ Harvey and “Let England Shake”, and also up is Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday”, which climbs nineteen spots to No.55 this week.

 

The first of two new album entries this week is “The Muppets” Soundtrack for their new feature film. The gaggle of creatures first made the Australian charts back in 1977 with the track “Mahna Mahna” (HP-26), which was when their TV show debut on Australian TV. Their first movie came in the summer of 1979/80, and the soundtrack entered the chart in December 1979 and made it to No.31 (peaked 4-Feb-80) during a twenty week run in the Top 100. And whilst this is their ninth feature film, it is only their second soundtrack entry to the Australian charts.

 

Last year Celtic Thunder scored two Top 40 albums in “Take Me Home” (No.28, late April 2011) and “It’s Entertainment” (HP-33, early Sept 2011), which were helped up the charts by parental holidays (Mothers Day in early May and Fathers Day in early September). They also charted in December with their 2010 “Christmas” album, but this week they debut at No.92 with their sixth album (released overseas Feb 2011) entitled “Heritage”.
