  2. She'll need more than just a 'killer single' to put her back on the map, like many artists of the same ilk she just won't get support from anywhere anymore.

     

    Yeah she needs to do more, i can't see her every getting another big hit again sadly. Her time seems to have come and gone.

    Gavin Ryan's Chartifacts

    (Thanks to Gavin Ryan)

     

    Singles

     

    Gotye spends a fourth week at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart with his track “Somebody That I Used to Know”, but unfortunately he does not have both No.1s, as he loses the top spot on the album chart this week. But he should rejoice in the fact that ‘Somebody…’ has picked up a double platinum accreditation, as it first achieved platinum when it went to No.1 four weeks ago. And talking of four weeks, “Somebody…” is now the equal longest running No.1 for the Eleven record label, equaling Silverchair’s four week achieved with “Straight Lines” back in March of 2007.

     

    The number two song of the week is again Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera’s “Moves Like Jagger”, which has now been sitting at No.2 for six weeks. The last track to do this was back in May and June in 2010, “Airplanes” for another duo, B.o.B and Hayley Williams. The record holder for most weeks at No.2 is seven weeks, but that is held by five different songs, the last of which was Nikki Webster’s “Strawberry Kisses” back in June 2001.

     

    Adele leaves the Top 10 with “Rolling in the Deep”, now down to No.13, but she moves back up one place to No.3 with her former No.1 “Someone Like You”, giving the top three songs all double platinum status this week. Last weeks leaper for Jason DeRulo, “It Girl”, swaps places with Adele, now down to No.4, whilst David Guetta halves last weeks position by climbing from No.10 to No.5 this week with “Titanium” featuring Sia on vocals.

     

    Jessica Mauboy falls a place to No.6 with “Inescapable”, but moving up a place to a new peak of No.7 is Calvin Harris and Kelis with “Bounce”, and right behind them at No.8 is the only new entry to the Top 10, Rihanna’s “Cheers (Drink to That)”, which is up five places and becomes her nineteenth Top 10 hit, and fourth from her current album. Pitbull and Marc Anthony hold onto the reigns of No.9 with “Rain Over Me”, and dropping down three places to No.10 is Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass”.

     

    NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Aloe Blacc leaps up five places to No.11 with his track “I Need a Dollar”, whilst Lady GaGa is up seven places to No.14 with her new single “You and I”. Cobra Starship are up five places to No.15 with “You Make Me Feel…”, and right behind them at No.16 (up two places) is Hot Chelle Rae with their single “Tonight, Tonight”.

    Alexandra Stan breaks away from her three weeks at No.30 with “Mr. Saxobeat”, up six places to No.24. Florence + The Machine leap forty-one places to No.35 with their new single “What the Water Gave Me” to give them their third Top 40 hit. Foster the People score their first Top 40 entry as “Pumped Up Kicks” climbs five places to No.38, and Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” is up one place to a new peak of No.40.

    With the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album out this week, the lead single from the set “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” climbs eight places to No.41, and up five places to No.45 is UK boy-band The Wanted with their track “Glad You Came”. The biggest leap of the week in the Top 100 goes to The Potbelleez and their new single “Midnight Midnight”, which is up fifty places to No.48, and New Zealand band Avalanche City leap twenty-one lovely places to No.49 with their debut single “Love, Love, Love”.

     

    David Guetta’s fifth studio album “Nothing But the Beat” debuts inside the Top 5 on the albums chart this week, and two new tracks from the album also make it onto the singles chart, giving him six Top 40 entries, plus two more in the lower fifty makes it eight in total in the Top 100 for him this week. Debuting at No.25 is his teaming with superstar Usher on the track “Without You”, then he also enters at No.37 with “Turn Me On” featuring previous collaborator Nicki Minaj. David is currently charting with “Titanium” featuring Sia at No.5, “Little Bad Girl” with Taio Cruz and Ludacris” at No.21, “Where Them Girls at” featuring Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida at No.32, and then last weeks debut, “Night of Your Life” with Jennifer Hudson which is at No.43 this week. In the lower fifty he’s at No.58 with “Sweat” alongside Snoop Dogg, and debuting at No.88 is “Crank it Up” featuring guest vocals from Akon. His tally of chart entries now climbs to eighteen with the three new entries.

     

    Calvin Harris last week scored his first Top 10 single here in Australia, “Bounce” which is up to No.7 this week, but this week he enters the charts at No.36 with his new single “Feel So Close”, this time the vocals done by himself, and this new track becomes his eighth chart entry, plus the track debuted at No.2 in Ireland and England recently.

     

    Lower 50: Paramore’s “The Only Exception” re-enters at No.51 this week, helped by broadcast performances on ‘The Glee Project’ and ‘X-Factor Australia’ this past week, whilst another ‘X-Factor’ performance has helped John Lennon’s “Imagine” back into the Top 100 at No.96, the songs third re-entry this century. It hit No.94 in May 2008 and No.85 in October of 2010. Lastly, Keith Urban’s track “Tonight I Wanna Cry” from his “Be Here” album makes its first chart entry at No.72 due to Mitchell Callaway’s performance of the track on ‘X-Factor’ this past week.

     

    Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You” climbs seven places to a new peak of No.54, Good Charlotte’s “1979” is up one place to No.62, and jumping up twenty places to No.71 is Lil’ Wayne with “How to Love”.

     

    Icehouse released their first digitally available greatest hits collection recently called “White Heat: 30 Hits”, which debuts in the Top 5 this week. Their first Top 5 single and only No.1 hit both re-enter thanks to this new compilation, with “Great Southern Land” (HP-5, Sept 1982) coming back in at No.66, and their only No.1, “Electric Blue” (1 week, 16-Nov-1987) is back in at No.80. Also re-entering this week due to new material are two tracks from Florence + The Machine, “You’ve Got the Love” is back in at No.92, and right behind that at No.93 is “Dog Days are Over”.

     

    Trinidad singer Nicki Minaj teams up with Barbados star Rihanna on Nicki’s new track from “Pink Friday” (TW-28) entitled “Fly”, which debuts at No.78. Another teaming debuts at No.91, OneRepublic with B.o.B on the track “Good Life”. And entering at No.98 is new material from Snow Patrol, the single is “Called Out in the Dark”, taken from their late 2011 due sixth album “Fallen Empires”.

     

    Albums

     

    Adele returns to No.1 with her “21” album, holding off some very stiff competition this week, to now achieve sixteen weeks at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart. The last albums to achieve sixteen weeks at No.1 were from the 60’s and 70’s, with “The Beatles (aka The White Album)” from 1968 being the first, followed in 1970 by Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Skyhooks in 1975 spent sixteen weeks at the top with their debut album “Living in the 70’s”, then the last act to spend sixteen weeks at the top was Abba with “The Best of Abba” from late March 1976.

     

    The tenth studio album for California’s Red Hot Chili Peppers is entitled “I’m With You”, and it debuts at No.2 this week becoming their tenth Top 10 album here in Australia. Their last studio album was 2006’s “Stadium Arcadium” which spent three weeks at the top in May of that year, and this new album has already produced the single “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” which shoots up to No.41 this week. The bands entire album history in Australia is listed below…

Adele falls two places to No.7 with her first album “19”, whilst LMFAO’s “Sorry for Party Rocking” is only down one place to No.8. Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaboration album “Watch the Throne” falls three spots to No.9, and Lady GaGa is down two places to No.10 with her “Born This Way” album.

     

    I showcased David Guetta’s eight singles above in the singles section, all of which are currently from his fifth studio album “Nothing But the Beat”, which this week debuts at No.4, the place his only other charting album in Australia “One Love” reached in its second week on the charts back in September 2009. Debuting right behind him at No.5 is Icehouse with their sixth Greatest Hits collection “White Heat: 30 Hits”, this being the first time that their singles have been available for digital sales, two of which re-enter the Top 100 Singles chart this week (see above). The groups first best of was released in November 1989 entitled “Great Southern Land” which debuted and peaked at No.3 spending four weeks there. In November 1992 their next collection was entitled “Master File”, which reached No.23 by the end of December, whilst we last saw a compilation from the group hit the charts back in August of 2004 entitled “Heroes” (HP-68).

     

    NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: “Rrakala” by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu makes another jump up the charts this week, up nine places to No.14, whilst his self-titled first album is up seven places to No.38. Beyonce’s “4” rebound four places to No.23 helped by her recent pregnancy announcement and upcoming new single, both performed at last weeks MTV VMA’s. The newly re-packaged Maroon 5 album “Hands All Over” leaps thirty places to No.33, as it now contains their current No.2 single “Moves Like Jagger”.

     

    West Coast American hip hop artist Game debuts at No.12 with his fourth album “The R.E.D. Album”, which matches the peak his third album “LAX” achieved when it debuted this very week back in 2008 (1-Sept-08). His first two albums have also charted here in Australia, with “Documentary” (HP-42, Jan 2005) and “Doctor’s Advocate” (HP-28, Nov 2006) being the other two. And debuting ten places lower at No.22 is Sydney hip hop act The Herd with their fifth album entitled “Future Shade”. Their June 2008 album “Summerland” hit No.7, whilst their only other previously charting album was from October 2005, “The Sun Never Sets” (HP-69).

     

    The sixth compilation of hits for Motley Crue debuts at No.30 entitled “Greatest Hits”. Their first collection of hits was “Decade of Decadence”, which hit No.9 back in October 1991, whilst their third set of hits was “Red White and Crue” which made it to No.26 in February of 2005. Celtic Thunder had their first chart entry in Australia back in late March with the No.28 album “Take Me Home”, now this week their new set “It’s Entertainment!” comes in at No.35, plus they have an upcoming tour of the country too.

     

    Barbra Streisand debuts at No.42 with her thirty-third studio album entitled “What Matters Most: Barbra Streisand sings the Lyrics of Alan & Marilyn Bergman”. The Bergman’s have written the lyrics to many of Barbra’s previous hits including “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “The Way We Were”, and the musical score to her film ‘Yentl’. Barbra was last in the charts back in October 2009 with her album “Love is the Answer” (HP-22) and again in November of 2010 with “The Ultimate Collection” (HP-58).

    Thanks to Martin for providing the info.

     

  19. Yeah, that's right. :P I'd never even heard of this album... :lol:

     

    It's a good album from 2007. It wasn't as big as Breakaway though which was a good selling album, and notched

    a fair few hit singles. Mind you the media exposure to it at the time must have helped.

    Definately seek out My December though.

    Gotye's third week at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart with "Somebody That I Used to Know" is joined at No.1 on the ARIA Albums Chart with its parent album "Making Mirrors". He becomes the second act this year to have claimed both summits, as Adele did it for seven weeks from the end of June, prior to Gotye knocking her off the No.1 spot with her track "Someone like you" which is at No.4 this week.

     

    The last Australian act to occupy both charts was Silverchair back in April of 2007 with “Straight Lines” from the album “Young Modern”, plus Gotye is the 117th act to have achieved this, and only the eighteenth (out of 19 in total, Delta did it twice) local act to have achieved this feat, the first being Daddy Cool back in 1971. Plus Gotye’s only previous chart entry, “Eyes Wide Open” (HP-55, 2008) re-enters this week at No.79, whilst last weeks first-timer “Heart’s a Mess” is still charting, but down at No.99 now.

     

    Five weeks at No.2 for "Moves like Jagger" for Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera, now surpassing Christina's four weeks she previously spent there with "Candyman" back in May and July of 2007. Leaping up thirteen places to No.3 is "It Girl", now the fifth Top 5 (and fifth Top 10) single for Jason DeRulo from his seven charting singles. Jason's jump pushes down the rest of last weeks Top 6 by one place each, with "Someone Like You" for Adele at No.4, "Inescapable" for Jessica Mauboy at No.5, "Rolling in the Deep" again for Adele to No.6 and "Super Bass" for Nicki Minaj" is at No.7, whilst holding steady at No.10 is David Guetta and Sia with "Titanium".

     

    Two more tracks climb into the Top 10 this week, with Calvin Harris and Kelis on "Bounce", which is up five places to No.8 and becomes Calvin's first Top 10 single in Australia, whilst it becomes Kelis' third Top 10 entry, but her first this decade, as her previous two made it back in 2004, "Milkshake" (HP-2, Feb) and "Trick Me" (HP-5, July). And up three places to No.9 are Pitbull and Marc Anthony with "Rain Over Me", which becomes Pitbull's seventh Top 10 hit, but it’s the first ever Top 10 appearance for Marc Anthony.

     

    NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Rihanna climbs a single place to a new peak of No.13 with "Cheers (Drink to that)", whilst Aloe Blacc is up three places to No.16 with "I Need a Dollar". Leaping into the Top 20 are Hot Chelle Rae with "Tonight, Tonight", which is up eleven places to No.18, and matching that rise is Cobra Starship with "You Make Me Feel...", up to No.20 this week.

    Lady GaGa leaps thirteen spots to No.21 with her latest track "You and I", after which the next new peaking track is all the way down at No.41, with Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" re-entering the Top 50 at No.41 and right behind that, "Otis" for Jay-Z and Kanye West is up three places to No.42.

    Foster the People earn their first Top 50 entry, as "Pumped up Kicks" rises fourteen spots to No.43, and also entering the Top 50 this week is Shannon Noll with "Switch Me On", up to No.45, the Red Hot Chili Peppers leap forty places to No.49 with "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie", and right behind at No.50 (and up eighteen places) is UK boy-band The Wanted with "Glad You Came".

     

    So David Guetta continues to release new material from his upcoming album “Nothing but the Beat” (out this week), and the fourth release comes in at No.37 entitled "Night of Your Life", featuring Jennifer Hudson as guest vocalist. It becomes her first ever Top 50 chart entry, as she has previously charted with only one song; “Spotlight” (HP-96, Sept 2008).

     

    Earlier this year when the film 'Bridesmaids' was released into cinemas, the 1990 hit "Hold On" for Wilson Phillips as performed in the film by them, re-entered at No.51 (July 2011). This week a song from the recently opened film 'Friends with Benefits' starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis enters the chart at No.40, "Closing Time" for Semisonic, a former No.50 hit (peaked 17th August 1998). This effect is also felt at No.75 where "Big Jet Plane" for Angus & Julia Stone re-enters, thanks to Rachel Rafter leaving the TV series 'Packed to the Rafters' (Tuesday 23rd-Aug edition) this past week, where the song was used during her leaving for New York (on the show).

     

    Lower 50: Nero land high on the albums chart this week, and their latest single "Guilt" climbs up fourteen places to No.62 this week. Right behind at No.63, and up nine places, are Good Charlotte with "1979", and the only other new lower peak comes from Flight Facilities, who are up three places to No.87 with "Foreign Language".

     

    Gavin DeGraw is set to release his fifth album soon, and the first single from that new album is entitled "Not Over You", which debuts at No.61 this week, becoming his third Top 100 entry in Australia, his previous two were back in 2004, “I Don’t Want to” (HP-19, Sept) and “Follow Through” (HP-68, Nov). And entering at No.69 is the second chart entry for Joshua Radin, "I Missed You", he first charted in August of 2009 with “I’d Rather Be with you” (HP-91).

     

    Sean Paul teams up with Alexis Jordan on his new track "Got 2 Luv U", which debuts at No.74 this week, and is his twelfth chart appearance, and the first taste from Florence + The Machines second album (due November) is "What the Water Gave Me", which debuts at No.76 this week. Lastly The Potbelleez, score a fourth Top 100 entry from their latest album, as "Midnight Midnight" debuts at No.98.

     

    Albums

     

    Gotye debuts at No.1 with his third album "Making Mirrors", and instantly takes pole position on both main ARIA Charts, as the albums lead single "Somebody That I Used to Know" is at No.1 for a third week. His recently climbing second album "Like Drawing Blood" drops back to No.19 this week, whilst first album "Boardface" falls back little to No.57, but up six places to No.80 is his remix album "Mixed Blood".

     

    “Making Mirrors” is the 633rd No.1 Album in Australia (1965 to 2011), the tenth No.1 album of 2011, and Gotye becomes only the 17th ‘Solo Male Australian Performer’ to achieve the top spot, the last being Drapht back in April this year. Gotye also becomes the 76th Australian act to achieve a No.1 album, with the 147th album by an Australian artist. Plus it’s the first time that either word ‘Making’ or ‘Mirror’ have appeared in a No.1 album, the closest in the past being Wham! with “Make it Big” (2 weeks, Feb 1985). It also gives his record label Eleven Music their fifth No.1 album, having previously been to No.1 with two Silverchair (2002 & 2007) albums and two from Missy Higgins (2004/5 & 2007).

     

    So after fifteen weeks (so far), Adele's "21" drops back to No.2, whilst she also holds at No.5 with her first alubm "19". Dethonred from No.2, and down to No.6 is "Watch the Throne" for Jay-Z and Kanye West. LMFAO and Lady GaGa drop a place each to No.7 and No.8 respectively, and down five places to No.9 is the Boy & Bear album "Moonfire", whilst Bruno Mars hangs on to the No.10 spot with his "Doo-Wops and Holligans" album, making it now 37 weeks inside the Top 10, matching only one other album to have achieved such a total, “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones (from Sept 2002).

     

    There are three local acts who debut within the Top 5 this week, with Gotye taking the top spot, recent Australia's Got Talent winner Jack Vidgen debuts at No.3 with his first recording “Yes I Am” (and after only three weeks since the show finished too). The third Aussie act is Sydney's Josh Pyke who instantly scores his third Top 4 album by debuting at No.4 with his latest set "Only Sparrows". Josh's first album "Memories & Dust" hit No.4 (March 2007), whilst his second "Chimney's Afire" made it to No.3 (October 2008).

     

    English electro-duo Nero debuted at No.1 on the home countries Album chart, and this week that album "Welcome Reality" enters at No.12 here. And the tenth album for Sydney's punk rock band Frenzal Rhomb debuts a couple of places lower at No.14 entitled “Smoko at the Pet Food Factory”. Their entire ARIA Albums chart history is listed below...
