ARIA Chart Commentary

from Gavin Ryan

 

Five weeks and running now for Sandi Thom, who still wishes she was a punk

rocker, although she seems to want flowers in her hair!. That single has now

reached Platinum sales in Australia as of this week, which means sales of over

70,000 units.

I was having a look at this decade as to how long female acts (this includes

groups, duets & individuals) have stayed at No.1 per year, and here are the

stats...

 

2000 - 25 weeks

2001 - 18 weeks

2002 - 26 weeks

2003 - 13 weeks

2004 - 20 weeks

2005 - 14 weeks

2006 - 22 out of 40 weeks

 

So you can see that every second year this decade seems to be better for

female acts, and with 12 weeks left to go for this year 2006 could beat the 2002

total if it continues on it's current path.

 

A very slow moving chart this week, with only three new entries to the Top

50. The first comes from The Killers at No.17 with "When You Were Young". This

song is currently sitting at No.2 in the UK, and it matches their highest

peaking single "Somebody Told Me", which reached it's No.17 in September 2004.

This is their fifth Top 50 single here in Australia, their others being "Mr

Brightside" (No.29, January 2005), "Smile Like You Mean it" (No.47, May 2005)

and "All These Things That I've Done" (No.42, July 2005).

 

One of the summer anthems over 2005/2006 was Bob Sinclar's No.1 Australia

single "Love Generation". He re-enters our charts for a third time this year

with his new single "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" which debuts at

No.25 this week. It features a sample from the C & C Music Factory tune "Gonna

Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" which reached No.3 in February 1991.

 

And lastly, making their first chart entry for this year, and continuing

their Top 50 streak of five years in a row, are the Basement Jaxx at No.39 with

"Hush Boy". They first hit the national Top 100 back in 1999 with "Red Alert",

but since 2001 they have placed a song in the Top 50 every year, and this

becomes their seventh Top 50 single. The biggest so far was the track "Where's

Your Head at" which reached No.16 in early 2002.

 

Marking her half-a-year on the charts, P!nk takes her fourth album higher

than all her previous by taking the No.1 spot in Australia this week with "I'm

Not Dead". The third single off the album "U & UR Hand" is out Monday, and has

helped boost the sales of the album as it's been played all over radio for the

past five weeks.

The album has been sitting at No.2 for the past four weeks, but I don't

expect that it'll be there next week, as Jet's new album comes out today.

It's the seventh week in a row that a new album has reached the top,

although the last six all debuted at the top. The last time seven No.1 albums

were at the top for a single week only was back between late-October and

mid-December 2002, which included the culprits The Foo Fighters, Nirvana, U2,

Pearl Jam, Shania Twain, John Farnham and finally Avril Lavigne who then stayed

at No.1 for seven weeks.

This is the 535th No.1 in Australia, and the 192nd by an American Artist.

It's also the 113th by an American Performer, and the 25th by an American Female

Performer. Pink also becomes the 67th Female to hit the top of the Australian

Album Charts.

It's the fifth album to hit No.1 with the words 'I'm' and 'Not', but the

first album with the word 'Dead' in it's title. The last 'I'm' and 'Not' album

was actually this year, The Arctic Monkey's' album "Whatever People Say I Am,

That's What I'm Not", which was at No.1 for a week in the last week of February.

 

The highest new entry on the charts is actually a re-entry. And the last two

weeks I've mentioned about Robbie Williams have three, then four albums in the

Top 50. Well this week he makes it five albums, as his No.3 album from December

2001, the Frank Sinatra influenced album "Swing When You're Winning" comes back

into the charts at No.11 giving Mr. Williams five in the Top 50 this week. He

also has another one climbing the charts just outside the Top 50, and the only

one missing so far is his 'Greatest Hits' package, but with all the other albums

charting, there's not really much point buying that one for the extra two

tracks.

 

The highest new debut this weeks comes in at No.29, "Duets: An American

Classic" by Tony Bennett. He was last in the Top 50 back in 2002 with his duet

album with k.d. Lang "A Wonderful World" which reached the Top 30, and stayed on

the charts for over 20 weeks. This was also helped along by their tour for the

album. Tony first appeared on the Australian singles charts back in December

1951, with his No.1 single "Because of You", and he went on to amass 4 No.1

singles, including "Cold, Cold Heart", "Rags to Riches" and "Stranger in

Paradise".

 

Another chart veteran makes his debuts this week. Elton John debuts at No.37

with "The Captain and The Kid", his first appearance since November 2004's

"Peachtree Road" just climbed into the Top 50. It's his 43rd charting album, and

he first made the albums charts back in February 1971 with his self-titled album

which reached No.2.

 

 

First Ever Australian Performed No.1 happened this week, back in 1955, and it

knocked Rock

Around the Clock off the top spot. Also Johnny O'Keefe has two yearly

back-to-back No.1's, as

does Diana Ross, while it's the first of 13 weeks for the double A-sided hits

'Hey Jude'/'Revolution'.
