April 1, 201213 yr Author http://australian-charts.com/forum.asp Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts (Thanks to Gavin Ryan) Singles Matching the peak of her home country Canada, plus New Zealand and Ireland, Carly Rae Jepsen jumps to No.1 on the Australian charts in her fifth week within the Top 100 with her debut single here "Call Me Maybe", becoming the 990th No.1 in Australia (1940 to 2012) and the 424th ARIA No.1 Single (1983 to 2012). Carly becomes the second Canadian this century to top the singles chart (we’ve had several over on the albums chart) as Avril Lavigne scored two during the last decade with “Complicated” (Aug 2002) and “Girlfriend” (April 2007). The last seven No.1’s by Canadian acts have all been by their female performers, Jann Arden, Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Avril Lavigne, and “Call Me Maybe” is the 19th Canadian performed No.1 in Oz. Here in Australia we’ve had three songs with ‘Called’ in their titles, but never a single ‘Call’ has made it to the top, plus only one other ‘Maybe’, which was by Kate DeAraugo with “Maybe Tonight” (Dec 2005). Plus it’s also the 30th No.1 for the Interscope label here in Australia. Last week's No.1 "We Are Young" for fun. featuring Janelle Monae swaps places with Carly by dropping two places to No.3, and in-between these swaps, Nicki Minaj holds at No.2 for a third straight week with "Starships". First time Top 10 entrants Labrinth and Tinie Tempah jumps up seven places to No.4 with "Earthquake" plus score a platinum certification in the process and they push last weeks No.4, "Bangarang" for Skrillex down to No.6. Former No.1 "Ass Back Home" for the Gym Class Heroes and Neon Hitch is down one place to No.7, whilst six week No.1 holder "Wild Ones" for Flo Rida and Sia drops down three places to No.8. Holding at No.9 is Jason DeRulo's "Fight for You", and down three places to No.10 are Qwote and Pitbull with "Throw Your Hands Up". Justin Bieber scores the highest new entry of the week with his new single "Boyfriend", which debuts at No.5 this week. It's his first new material to enter the charts since his Christmas songs back in November 2011, "Mistleotoe" (HP-20). It's also the first single to be taken from his forthcoming third album "Believe" which is due in July (tentatively). Plus “Boyfriend” instantly becomes only his second Top 10 hit here, after his debut single “Baby” made it all the way to No.3 in May of 2010. NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Ed Sheeran's "Lego House" jumps up five places to No.14, and up four places to a new peak of No.25 is Outasight with "Tonight is the Night". Lil' Wayne's "Mirror" is up a place to No.26, and also up one spot is Usher's "Climax" to a new height of No.29 this week. Last weeks highest new entry for T-Pain and Ne-Yo, "Turn All the Lights On" jumps up twelve places to No.31, and Stan Walker's "Music Won't Break Your Heart" is up eighteen places to No.35. Also joining the top 50 for the first time is DJ Fresh and Rita Ora with "Hot Right Now", up eights spots to No.46.

His previous single "Set it off" went all the way to No.2 in January, and is sitting at No.22 this week. And also debuting within the top 20 this week is the fourth single from Florence + the Machine's second album "Ceremonials" (TW-15 up from 33). Entitled "Never Let Me Go" it debuts at No.19 and becomes the albums highest charting single so far, and their second Top 20 entry after “You’ve Got the Love” made it to No.9 in April 2010, plus they also re-enter at No.99 with "Shake it Out" (HP-36). Lower 50: These Kids Wear Crowns re-enter at No.51 with their version of Whitney's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" helped by it being used as the TV commercial theme for the new series of ‘Dancing With the Stars’, and leaping up thirty-eight places to No.52 is the remix of "Wild Ones" entitled "Wild One Two" from Jack Back and David Guetta. The mid-season finale for Graham Norton's show last Saturday night had David Guetta performing "Titanium", which helps it to rebound twenty-one places to No.54 and ahead of his upcoming tour here. Emile Sande's "Next to Me" jumps up sixteen places to score a new peak of No.62, and re-entering at No.65 are The Wanted with "Glad You Came", whilst the third re-entry of the week comes at No.97, Birdy with "Skinny Love".

Aussie hip-hop act 360 debuts at No.77 with his new single entitled "Child", and current tourists Evanescence debut at No.86 with "What You Want". Local singer Natasha Duarte scores her first chart entry at No.92 with "Wanted to Feel", and Madonna enters at No.93 with "Girl Gone Wild". Albums Madonna's twelfth studio album debuts at No.1 this week, "MDNA", and it's her first on a new label, Interscope (she had been with Warner since 1982). It's becomes her tenth No.1 album (and seventh studio No.1) in Australia also, making her the outright third place holder on the list of 'Most No.1 Albums in Australia 1965 to 2012'. The top five on that list are The Beatles (14), U2 (11), Madonna (10), Jimmy Barnes (9) and tied with eight each are John Farnham and Bon Jovi. “MDNA” is the 642nd No.1 album in Australia (1965 to 2012) and the 501st for ARIA (1983 to 2012) and brings Madonna’s tally of accumulated weeks at No.1 to eighteen placing her 25th on the list of ‘Total Accumulated Weeks at No.1 1965 to 2012’.

April 1, 201213 yr Author Of course One Direction were not No.1, didn't you notice what date it was. APRIL FOOL! Real charts now posted. Edited April 1, 201213 yr by Mark.
April 3, 201213 yr Best top 4 they've had all year tbh! Can't believe GCH got to #1 :/ I hope Ed is able to climb higher with his album. As much as I like 'You Need Me', I'm glad they skipped it and went straight to 'Lego House'. Edited April 3, 201213 yr by GrAmii
