Britney Spears beat Radiohead to the top of the Album charts while Jessie J (right) chases down Gaga for Airplay
Chart wrap-up: Britney beats Radiohead to #1
04 April 2011
It's pop superpower (Britney) versus indie superpower (Radiohead) this week on the ARIA Album Charts, as Universal dominates Airplay with another Top 5 sweep that sees Jessie J hotly pursuing Lady Gaga, and J Lo holds onto #1 ARIA Single.
TMN HOT 100 AIRPLAY CHART
Lady Gaga’s Born This Way (which recently reclaimed #1, after falling to #2 behind Rihanna’s S&M for a couple of weeks) continues to reign over radio, but Jessie J’s Price Tag featuring B.o.B is hot on her tail, leaping from #4 to #2 this week. If the spins come from the right places, Price Tag could find itself on top.
Black Eyed Peas' Just Can't Get Enough held onto #3, Rihanna's S&M dropped to #4 and J Lo ft. Pitbull's On The Floor hit #5 (up two places from last week), cementing another all-Universal Top 5.
Foo Fighters' Aussie promo tour appears to have paid off with Rope continuing to rise from #8 to #7 this week.
This week saw debuts from each of the four majors. The highest new addition of the week was 360’s Just Got Started featuring Pez from EMI, entering at #74. Just Got Started was perched at the top of the Breakers chart last week.
Fresh from supporting Usher, The Potbelleez made it in just below 360 and Pez at #75 with From The Music for Universal. Meanwhile, Jay Sean’s Hit The Lights featuring Lil Wayne entered at #84 and Lifehouse’s Falling In fell in at #92. Meanwhile, Sony’s Gypsy And The Cat poked their heads in with Jona Vark (their first Hot 100 appearance) at #85.
Wiz Khalifia’s anthem to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania sports teams, Black And Yellow entered at #95. This track was Wiz’ first ever US #1 and is also his first entry in the TMN Hot 100.
ARIA TOP 50 SINGLES CHART
J Lo has stuck at #1 with On The Floor (featuring Pitbull) though Snoop Dogg and David Guetta's Sweat is closing in, this week reaching #2 from #3. Can Snoop Dizzle hit number wizzle?
Trading places with Snoop's Sweat was Jessie J's Price Tag featuring B.o.B, dropping to #3 in its fifth week on the ARIA Singles chart. Rihanna's S&M healed steady, below in #4. While, LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem, featuring Lauren Bennett and Goon Rock is charging up the chart, reaching #12 from last week's #23.
The highest debut for the week came from Flo Rida. Who Dat Girl, featuring Akon, which came in at #29. We can expept Flo Rida to climb with this track, adding to his nine Top 20 ARIA Singles.
ARIA TOP 50 ALBUMS CHART
Today's #1 debut from Britney Spears, Femme Fatale, marks Sony's fourth consecutive week on top of the ARIA Albums chart (following The Strokes, Glee: The Music - Volume 5 and Avril Lavigne). With the Britney buzz expected to continue, Drapht's latest, The Life Of Riley dropping and Foo Fighters' latest album Wasting Light, out this Friday, Sony looks set to dominate through April.
Radiohead's surprise album, King Of Limbs, had to settle for second for its physical release debut, although their decision to release it digitally on February 19 via their own site probably softened this week's debut.
Glee: The Music - Volume 5, fell one spot to #3 while Adele's 21 saw a resurgence, darting up from #12 to #4 in its' tenth week and almost reaching its highest peak of #3, achieved back in February.
Sum 41's Scream Bloody Murder, clocked in at #16. Just below, fell Lionel Richie's The Definitive Collection, re-entering at #17. Within Temptation's The Unforgiving debuted at #27, above Shane Nicholson's Bad Machines at #29 and Cavalera Conspiracy's Blunt Force Trauma at #31.
