May 9, 200718 yr Chartifacts from ariacharts.com.au Singles Avril Lavigne remains stationed at the top spot for another week with Girlfriend, while Christina Aguilera is hot on the pursuit of chart glory, moving up a spot to #2 with Candyman. After her performance at the MTV Australian Video Music Awards recently, Fergie has shot up five places to #4 to mark the highest position for Glamorous. 20 Good Reasons is still bubbling in the Top 10 after 7 weeks, leaving Thirsty Merc at #6 this week. Last but not least KT Tunstall’s Suddenly I See makes its return to the Top 10 at #10. As for the rest of the bunch, it is more spills than thrills as they drop a few places. LEAVE ME ALONE (I'M LONELY) - P!nk No.11 Currently touring Australia across 32 sell out dates, P!nk recently entertained viewers of the MTV Australian Video Music Awards with an aerial acrobatic live performance. P!nk has spent a whooping 57 weeks on the ARIA Albums Chart with her current album I’m Not Dead, which has been certified 6 x Platinum and is sitting pretty at #3 on this week’s ARIA Albums Chart. I’m Not Dead has also spawned four other tracks including Stupid Girls (#4 Mar. ’06), Who Knew (#2 July ’06), Nobody Knows (#27 Jan. ’07) and U + Ur Hand (#5 Oct. ’06). UFO - Sneaky Sound System No.18 Black Angus, MC Double D and Miss Connie make up club favourites, Sneaky Sound System. The trio made their debut on the ARIA Singles Chart back in 2004 with Hip Hip Hooray. It peaked at #78 in February and preceded I Love It (#24 Jan. “07) and Pictures (#19 Dec. ’06), which came second in the dance/electronica category at the 2006 International Songwriting Competition. Recently Miss Connie (aka Connie Mitchell) was personally asked by Kanye West to record some tracks for his up-coming album and also worked with rapper, Snoop Dogg. SSS have toured with Robbie Williams and the Scissor Sisters and are about to embark on their own national tour. IT'S NOT OVER - Daughtry No.22 Daughtry comprises of American Idol, finalist Chris Daughtry alongside Brian Craddock and Josh Steely on guitar, J.P. Paul on bass guitar and Joey Barnes on drums. Daughtry was formed shortly after Chris declined an offer to become Fuel’s new lead singer. Since his days on Idol, Chris has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry including Rob Thomas, Chad Kroeger and Ed Kowalczyk. It’s Not Over marks the band’s debut to the ARIA Singles Chart. In February this year, It’s Not Over peaked at #4 on the US Billboard Chart. Their self titled album is currently sitting at #65 on this week’s ARIA Albums Chart. EVERYTHING - Michael Buble No.28 Canadian crooner, Michael Buble has achieved worldwide success since stepping into the music business. Definitely a favourite amongst the ladies, the debonair Buble has been compared to the late and great Frank Sinatra. Buble credits his grandfather for influencing his musical taste while growing up stating, "My grandfather was really my best friend growing up. He was the one who opened me up to a whole world of music that seemed to have been passed over by my generation”. Previous charting singles in Buble’s repertoire are Spiderman Theme / Sway Remix (#15 May ’04), Home (#35 May ’05) and Feeling Good (#70 Mar. ’05). CATCH YOU - Sophie Ellis-Bextor No.44 In October 2000, the words on everyone’s lips were “If this Ain’t Love”. The Spiller track featured beautiful Brit, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and spent three consecutive weeks at #1 and blasted Sophie into the stardom stratosphere. After gaining such exposure, Ellis-Bextor released her first solo track, Take Me Home, but it failed to make an impact on our charts. But Ellis-Bextor did not stop there – Murder On The Dance Floor peaked at #3 in February 2002 and also charted in the Top 10 in five other countries. This was followed by Get Over You (#4 July ’02) and Music Gets The Best Of Me (#28 Nov. ’02). Stay tuned for Ellis-Bextor’s third album Trip The Light Fantastic out later this month. SPIN FOR ME - Stealing O'Neal No.53 Hailing from Melbourne, Chris (vocals), James (drums), Tom (bass), Tim (guitar) and Jack (guitar) make their debut on the ARIA Singles Chart this week. The five lads have drawn their early musical influences from Blink 182 and Green Day, but they are not a band that wants to be pigeon-holed into one genre of music. Stealing O’Neal also cites their musical influences as Death Cab For Cutie, Bloc Party and New Order. Already Stealing O’Neal has graced the stage with some of Australia’s biggest names including The Veronicas, End Of Fashion, Kisschasy, After The Fall and Evermore. ELECTRIC - Girlband No.73 This all girl group made their stamp on the music scene with the release of their debut single Party Girl, which peaked at #43 in October 2006. Patrice, Jessica, Renee B and Renee A are back with a vengeance and ready to electrify us all. Girlband starred in their own fly-on-the-wall documentary which filmed all the highs and lows of breaking into the music industry. The quartet’s hard efforts certainly paid off in the end, with the upcoming release for their new album. HOLLYWOOD - Jay-Z Feat. Beyonce No.98 As two of the biggest names in the urban scene today, Jay-Z and Beyonce join forces once again for Hollywood. Their last released collaboration was on Beyonce’s, Déjà Vu (#12 Aug. ’06). In 2003 the rapper mogul declared that he was retiring from show business and would only work behind the scenes doing collaborations with other artists such as Linkin Park on the MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Collision Course (#8 Jan. ’05) project. But in late 2006, Jay-Z returned to the spotlight and released, Show Me What You Got (#79 Dec. ’06), which features on his comeback album Kingdom Come (#95 Dec. ’06) alongside Hollywood. Albums Exciting things are happening in the Aussie music arena! For only the second time in at least seventeen years, a total of seven Aussie artists make up the Top 10. Silverchair’s reign at #1 comes to a halt as Young Modern settles for #2 this week, while On A Clear Night by Missy Higgins makes its smashing debut at #1. A string of live shows down under earns P!nk a spot at #3 with I’m Not Dead, while Canadian pop-ette, Avril Lavigne eases her way at #4 with The Best Damn Thing. Kate Ceberano continues to make waves with Nine Lime Avenue entering the Top 10 for the first time at #5. Finally, Belinda Emmett rounds up this week’s Aussie dominated Top 10 with So I Am making its debut at #10 SO I AM - Belinda Emmett No.10 ARIA Award winning songbird, Missy Higgins is back with a vengeance! The singer/song-writer emerged as one of Australia’s brightest musical stars with the release of her debut album, The Sound of White, which has since gone 9 x Platinum. In 2004, The Sound of White spent a total of seven weeks at #1 spanning from September 2004 to May 2005 and won the coveted Album of the Year gong at the 2005 ARIA Awards. On a Clear Night has been one of the most anticipated Australian albums of the year and marks Missy’s second #1 album. AMERICAN DOLL POSSE - Tori Amos No.20 After a two year absence from the ARIA Albums Chart, acclaimed singer/songwriter, Tori Amos returns with her latest offering, American Doll Posse. Best known for her cryptic lyrics, piano playing and highly individualistic musical style, Amos emerged at the vanguard of a string of female musicians during the early 90s. American Doll Posse is Tori’s ninth studio album and marks her ninth album release to hit the Top 20. Other albums in Amos’ repertoire include, Under The Pink (#5 Mar. ’94) , Boys For Pele (#6 Feb. ’96) and The Beekeeper (#20 Mar. ’05) BABY 81 - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club No.36 US garage rockers, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club make their third appearance in the Top 40 with Baby 81.

BECAUSE OF YOU - Ne*Yo No.39 Rising RnB star, Ne*Yo reaches his highest position on the ARIA Albums Chart to date with his second album, Because of You. Since making his foray onto the R&B scene last year, Ne*Yo has been hot property. Because of You features a duet alongside Dreamgirls superstar, Jennifer Hudson. Ne*Yo made his chart debut in May last year with In My Own Words, which peaked at #41. CELTIC TREASURE - Hayley Westenra No.47 Kiwi soprano, Hayley Westenra returns to the charts with her third international album, Celtic Treasure.

Hayley’s latest release follows Pure (#7 Aug. ’03) and Odyssey (#21 Aug. ’05). DROP IT IN THEIR LAPS - The Cops No.59 Inspired by pop/rock greats David Bowie, Prince and Roxy Music, homegrown band, The Cops return to the music trail with their second album, Drop It In Their Laps. The band first emerged on the retro-pop indie scene in 2004 with Stomp On Tripwires. Drop It In Their Laps is the band’s highest position on the ARIA Albums Chart to date. SPIDERMAN 3 - Soundtrack No.62 A superhero movie calls for a super soundtrack and Spiderman 3 is no exception! The Spider Man 3 Soundtrack features a stellar line up of musical stars, including Snow Patrol, The Killers and local rockers, Wolfmother and Jet. Earlier this month, the latest Spider Man installment smashed the Australian box office record for the highest grossing day of release – a record which was initially held by its predecessor, Spider-Man 2. BEYOND - Dinosaur Jr. No.94 Formed in 1985, American alt-rockers, Dinosaur Jr. make their first chart appearance in over a decade.
