Singles

 

Flo Rida and Sia retain the No.1 spot for a fourth consecutive week atop of the ARIA Singles chart with their track "Wild Ones". But rebounding back up to No.2 after being pushed down to No.5 last week is Laurent Wery with SwiftKid and Dev on their party track "Hey Hey Hey (Pop another Bottle)".

 

360 and Gossling climb a place to a new peak of No.3 on the track "Boys like You", whilst last weeks No.2, "Lonely Boy" for The Black Keys drops back down two places to No.4.

 

Many of the songs that dropped last week rise back up this week, and up three places each are Coldplay's "Paradise" back up No.5 and David Guetta and Nicki Minaj with "Turn Me On" to No.6. Sia's other Top 10 entry at the moment is as guest vocalist on The Hilltop Hoods track "I Love it", which drops back a place to No.7, whilst Simple Plan regains two places and are back up to No.8 with "Summer Paradise".

 

Drake scores his first Top 10 entry this week (solo or guest vocalist), as his track "Take Care" featuring Rihanna climbs three places to No.9, plus it becomes Rihanna's 21st Top 10 appearance. And falling three places to No.10 is Timomatic and his former No.2 single "Set it off".

 

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Qwote and Pitbull have been jumping up for the past four weeks, and this week is no different, as their track "Throw Your Hands Up" jumps fifteen places to No.13, whilst Pitbull and Chris Brown climb five places to No.16 with the track "International Love". Third Top 20 entry (and a new peak) comes from Skrillex, who climbs six places to No.20 with his track "Bangarang".

The title track from Rihanna's new album "Talk That Talk" jumps up fourteen places to No.28 and thanks to her album debuting well, Lana Del Ray also leaps fourteen places, up to No.34 with "Born to Die".

After two weeks at No.41, Knife Party climb five places to No.36 with their "100% No Modern Talking" EP. Professor Green and Emile Sande's "Read all About it" jumps up six places to No.41, and re-entering the Top 50 and scoring a new peak at No.48 is "Laserlight" for Jessie J featuring David Guetta.

 

Last year the Gym Class Heroes scored their first ever Top 10 hit here in Australia as "Stereo Hearts" (TW-83) made it to No.4 with the help of Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine lending his guest vocals to the track. They score the highest new entry this week as their new track "Ass Back Home" featuring British singer/songwriter Neon Hitch as guest vocalist debuts at No.17.

 

Madonna launched her new single last weekend, and played the track as part of a medley at the Superbowl 46 last Sunday (Monday in Australia). The first single from her forthcoming album MDNA is entitled "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and it enters at No.25 this week, featuring guest singers Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. This new track is her first chart entry in two-and-a-half years, as she last was on our charts back in August 2009 with the No.40 song “Celebration”. This new track becomes her 67th charting single here since she first hit our charts back November of 1983 when “Burning Up” hit No.95 for a single week (it would later re-enter after “Holiday” became a hit in April 1984, reaching No.13 in late June 1984).

 

One Direction score their third ARIA Top 100 Singles entry by debuting at No.32 with "One Thing", whilst their first single "What Makes You Beautiful" (HP-7) is up two places to No.15 this week, both are taken from this weeks No.13 album "Up All Night" (HP-4). Their chart entry between was the b-side of ‘Beautiful’, “Na Na Na” which made it to No.84 for a week in November of 2011.

 

Train's seventh album "California 37" is out in March, and the first single from that album "Drive By" debuts at No.37 this week, and becomes the group’s ninth Top 100 entry and fifth Top 50 hit here in Australia.

 

With the new TV ratings season starting in Australia, we see the return to our televisions of chart stalwarts Glee, who debut with two songs this week. First up entering at No.49 is "We Are Young", originally a song by New York band Fun from 2011, and at No.78 they debut with a mash-up of "Survivor" and "I Will Survive" originally by Destiny's Child (HP-7, peaked April 2001) and Gloria Gaynor (peaked at No.5 for seven broken weeks from May 1979) respectively.

 

Lower 50: Nickelback's "Lullaby" jumps up again this week, climbing twelve places to No.58. Ed Sheeran's album "+" leaps up this week, so too does his second single "You Need Me, I Don't Need You", up twenty-one places to No.74. There are re-entries from Lil' Wayne with "Mirror" (HP-49) at No.62, Andy Grammer at No.66 with "Keep Your Head Up" (HP-55), and Coldplay re-enter at No.96 with "Clocks" (HP-28).

 

Timothy McKenzie is better known as British singer/sonwriter Labrinth, who scores his first ARIA Singles chart entry at No.52 on the track "Earthquake" featuring long-time collaborator Tinie Tempah. The song hit No.2 in the UK and Scotland and No.5 in New Zealand, plus it’s taken from his March due debut album "Electronic Earth".

 

Melbourne duo Parachute Youth enter at No.57 with their dance track "Can't Get Better than This". Rapper Nelly debuts at No.64 with the song "The Champ" which was used as part of the Superbowl 46 coverage.

 

British hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks enter at No.69 with their former UK No.2 single "Mama do the Hump", their first entry here, and UK singer Taio Cruz is in at No.72 with his new dance track "Troublemaker", whilst a third British act, Example, scores his third entry here with "Midnight Run" in at No.91. And final new entry of the week comes from Colbie Caillat who debuts at No.94 with her track "Brighter Than the Sun", her third chart entry in Australia.

 

Albums

 

From only two singles which just entered the charts a couple of weeks ago, to scoring a No.1 debut with her first album, Lana Del Ray has come a long way in the last six months. She's enters at the No.1 spot with "Born to Die", featuring the title track (TW-34), and her first single "Video Games" (TW-30).

 

“Born to Die” is the eighteenth No.1 album in Australia for the Interscope label, funnily enough their last album at No.1 was May 2011 “Born This Way” for Lady GaGa (TW-68), and this new No.1 is the fourth ‘Born’ album to reach the top behind Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” (8 weeks from Oct 1984) and Jet’s “Get Born” (2 weeks from May 2004). It’s only the second album to feature the word ‘Die’ in its title, the other being from June 2009, The Black Eyed Peas’ “The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)”.

 

“Born to Die” has already reached No.1 in Austria, Germany, England and The Netherlands, and is the 640th No.1 album in Australia (1965 to 2012), plus the last time a debut album from an artist entered the charts at No.1 was back in November of 2009 with Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream”, making Lana the first act this decade to debut at No.1 with their first album. Lana is also the 32nd American female singer to reach the top of the Australian charts, with the 90th album by a female performer.

 

Leonard Cohen scored only his second ever Top 10 in Australia back in March of 2009 when his "The Essential 3.0" collection made it to No.9 whilst he was touring the country; his first Top 10 entry was with 1971’s “Songs of Love & Hate” (HP-8). Now he scores his highest charting album ever in Australia, as his twelfth studio album "Old Ideas" debuts at No.2 this week, plus it has reached No.1 in seven countries, and No.2 in the UK and No.3 in the USA.

 

The third album to score a Top 5 debut this week, also does it with their twelfth studio album, it's Van Halen who have re-teamed with original vocalist David Lee Roth and debut this week at No.4 with the album "A Different Kind of Truth". Most of the material on the album had been written by the band between 1975 and 1977, and re-recorded with the reunited line-up. This new album becomes the bands highest chart album here, and their Australian chart history is listed below...
