Australian Chart Commentary

from Gavin Ryan

 

For the first time this decade, a female has landed a No.1 song for more

than eight weeks. Shakira's "Hip's Don't Lie" now spends it's ninth consecutive

week at the top of the Australian charts, and in doing so gives her the second

biggest No.1 for this decade. The leader with 12 weeks is Eminem's "Lose

Yourself" which was at the top from December 2002 through to February 2003.

The last female to spend nine weeks at No.1 was Britney Spears' "...Baby,

One More Time" in March/April 1999, and also in 1999 was the last time that two

No.1 singles spent 8 and 9 weeks back-to-back. The last two No.1's of the 20th

Century; Lou Bega's "Mambo No.5" spent eight weeks at the top, and that was

followed by Eiffel 65's "Blue (Da Be De)" which spent nine weeks at No.1.

 

The highest new entry to the charts comes in at No.12, and it's the seventh

solo single for Destiny's Child lead singer Beyonce. "Deja Vu" featuring the

vocals of Jay-Z is the first single to be released from her forthcoming second

solo album "B'Day" (someone should tell her about that title!!). Her last

appearance as a solo artist was back in May 2004 when "Naughty Girl" spent three

weeks at No.9, but her biggest hits have been the No.2 singles "03 Bonnie &

Clyde" (with Jay-Z) and "Crazy in Love" both from 2003.

 

Falling out of the Top 50 this week is Busta Rhymes' "Touch it", but he

replaces that with the follow-up single "I Love My Chick" at No.22, which is

altered from the track 'I Love My Bitch' from the album "The Big Bang". The last

charting song (that I can remember) that changed it's name for radio sanitation

purposes was The Black Eyed Peas "Let's Get Retarded" which became "Let's Get it

Started" in June 2004.

 

At No.24 is the fourth single from this weeks No.7 album "The Secret Life

of...", "Revolution" by The Veronicas has a reputation to live up to, as the

previous three singles from the album all reached the Top 10, "4Ever" (No.2,

Sept 2005) and "Everything I'm Not" (No.7, Dec 2005) and this weeks No.34 single

"When it All Falls Apart (No.7, April, 2006).

 

This exact week three years ago Stacie Orrico debuted with her second Top 50

single "(There's Gotta Be) More to Life" which reached No.11, and was the

follow-up to the No.3 hit "Stuck" from April 2003. This week her fourth Top 50

single "I'm Not Missing You" debuts at No.26, and is the first single from her

forthcoming album "Beautiful Awakening" which is released August 26th. She'll be

doing a promo tour of Australia in last September.

 

For the third week in a row, the soundtrack from Disney's "High School

Musical" is at No.1. The last soundtrack to spent three or more weeks at No.1

was the Bridget Jones's Diary album back in August 2001, where it stayed for

five weeks.

 

With Nelly Furtado and Nick Lachey in the country this week, their

respective albums rebound up the charts. Nelly's "Loose" album reaches a new

peak of No.8, whilst Nick's album (which fell out of the Top 50 last week) jumps

back into the charts at No.13.

 

The highest new entry on the albums chart comes in at No.9. "Christ

Illusion" by Slayer is their first ever Top 10 album in Australia, and their

first Top 50 album since 2001's "God Hates Us All" hit the Top 40. Their biggest

album previously to this one was 1996's Top 20 album "Undisputed Attitude".
