May 20, 200718 yr Chartifacts For a fifth week Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" remains the No.1 single in Australia, in fact the entire Top 4 singles all remain stable this week, with the highest new entry coming in at No.5. If Avril stays at the top for another week, it'll equal her debut single "Complicated" for the six weeks it remained at the top of the charts back in August/September 2003. The aforementioned highest new entry at No.5 goes to Powderfinger with their 18th Top 100 entry, and 11th Top 50 single, "Lost and Running". By debuting at No.5, it becomes their second highest placed song, one place behind their August 2000 single "My Happiness" (No.4), and also their third Top 10 single, the other being "On My Mind" (No.9, June 2003). They were last on the charts in January 2004 with the No.11 single "Sunsets", and this track is taken from their forthcoming album "Dream Days at the Hotel Existence" which is released on June 2nd. The second of four new entries to the Top 50 this week comes in at No.22, and is funnily enough the first ever Top 50 single in Australia for the Dundee Scotland five-piece Snow Patrol. "Signal Fire" is the first physically released single from the former No.1 album "Eyes Open" (Jan/Feb 2007 for 5 weeks; No.22 this week), as the two previous single were only Digital released singles in the form of the No.1 Digital track "Chasing Cars", plus it's follow-up "Open Your Eyes". The track is also the lead single from the Spiderman 3 Soundtrack. Fedde le Grand is at No.32 this week with his former No.8 single "Put Your Hands Up for Detroit", now in it's 29th week on the charts, and this week he debuts with his remixed version of the Camille Jones track "The Creeps" at No.25. Camille is a Danish-born singer, musician, composer, arranger, and producer, and is more of a soft R&B, folk style singer until Fedde got a hold of this track and made it into the current No.2 Club Track in Australia. The original version of "The Creeps" appears on Camille's third studio album "Surrender". Coming in at No.50 is the first track in over two years for British singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield, "I Wanna Have Your Babies". This is her third Top 50 single, the other two were "These Words" (No.5, October 2004) and "Unwritten" (No.26, Jan 2005). As the charts are calculated from Saturday the previous week to the end of trading on Friday night, and most Record Companies now release their product from Saturday's, anything that was selling well the day before a major event like say Mother's Day last Sunday, could still have an effect on the next week's charts. And so the Michael Buble effect has kept his album "Call Me Irresponsible" at the top of the Australian Album charts for a second week, but that has had a negative effect on his single "Everything" which is one of the two biggest dropping single's this week ("Steer" is the other one), down seven places to No.33, as people buy the album and already have the new track, there is not as much demand for the single. The new album now equals the two weeks that his debut album remained at the top. What I expected to be the new No.1 album of the week comes in at No.2, Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnight", giving the Warner group the Top 2 albums in the country. It's Linkin Park's fifth studio album, and sixth charting album (there was a live one in 2003), and their first since their collaboration album with Jay-Z, "Collision Course" which reached No.8 in the first week of January 2005. This album unfortunately becomes their third No.2 album, following "Meteora" in March 2003 and "Hybrid Theory" in early 2001. 58 weeks ago (10th April 2006) The Hilltop Hoods debuted at No.1 with their album "The Hard Road", and this week a collaboration between themselves and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra called "The Hard Road Restrung" debuts at No.8. Bjork debuts at No.20 this week with her latest album "Volta", her first studio album since the September 2004 project "Medulla" debuted and peaked at No.17. Also making a return to the Top 50 Albums this week is a group that was formed in 1983, Megadeth, who debut at No.23 with "United Abominations". This is their first release on their new record label of Roadrunner, and their first album since 2004's "The System Has Failed". Thanks to Gavin Ryan
