Chart wrap-up: Christina Perri's strong debut
18 July 2011
The ladies are dominating this week. Adele is hot on Pink's tail for an ARIA Albums chart record. Lady Gaga is selling a storm following her Australian visit. Katy Perry is holding out on the TMN Hot 100 and Christina Perri seeing her debut single and album cruise to the highest heights.
TMN HOT 100 AIRPLAY CHART
Katy Perry’s Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) has kept its hold on #1, despite being confronted by an all out assault from both Adele’s Someone Like You and Bruno Mars’ Marry You, which sit at #2 and #3 respectively once again this week. Just below, Sony favourites Pitbull and Pete Murray sit comfortably with their hits, Give Me Everything and Always A Winner. The former held steady at #4, while the latter darted from #8 to #5, making it look too easy.
Lady Gaga and Eskimo Joe make it look even easier; The Edge Of Glory jumped from #14 to #6, while Love Is A Drug moved from #25 to #8. Moving down the chart there was more exciting movement, Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera’s Move Like Jagger has claimed #18, up from last week’s #29 debut. Equally as impressive was Vanessa Amorosi’s performance with Gossip, which moved from from the #77 debut last week to an impressive #23, making her the fastest mover for the week.
Gossip bested Pitbull’s Rain Over Me featuring Marc Anthony (the second most progressed track for the week) by ten rungs. It should be said however, that Rain Over Me’s jump from #83 to #39 is still incredibly impressive.
Jessica Mauboy claimed the highest debut of the week with Inescapable, sitting pretty at #34. This is her highest ever debut on the TMN Hot 100. He previous best was with Get ‘Em Girls, which debuted at #47. Not a bad sign at all!
ARIA TOP 50 SINGLES CHART
Christina Perri's creeper, Jar Of Hearts has slithered up into #2 in the single's seventh week on the chart. Without Adele's anomaly, Someone Like You, holding on to the #1 position, Jar Of Hearts would be sitting pretty at the top. It's been an interesting few weeks for Perri and there are surely a few more interesting weeks to come now that the album has dropped.
Outside the Top 5 remains much the same as last week. Lady Gaga has flown back up the charts with The Edge Of Glory; the single scooted fro #22 to #6, forcing Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) down one position on last week to #7. Gaga's Born This Way saw the same buzz lower down the chart, jumping from #42 to #18.
Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's Moves Like Jagger is seeing the same swell in sales as they have seen over the past few weeks in airplay. The TMN Hot 100 Top 20 single has hit #10 on the ARIA Singles chart this week, up from #36.
There were two debuts this week. Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know, featuring Kimbra, which cruised in at #27. The other was another from Adele, Set Fire To The Rain, which picked up some airplay support last week from NOVA. Will this single climb as high as her previous two?
ARIA TOP 50 ALBUMS CHART
Adele. We could easily stop the albums wrap with that one word, but we won't. Even with Lady Gaga strutting her stuff around the country on a promo tour (including a few surprise performances, as well as the massively hyped Monster Hall gig) Adele's 21 still held out the top position, seeing Gaga's Born This Way climb back to #2 from #5.
This run at #1 makes Adele the second longest running #1 in the past decade, behind none other than Pink. The idea of anyone closing in on Pink's 13 week run with Greatest Hits… So Far seems uncanny. Can Adele do it? It looks good. Particularly with her previous album, 19, sitting at #3 behind a touring Gaga. That's two Top 5 ARIA singles, two Top 5 ARIA albums and one Top 5 airplay single for Adele, right now.
Rounding out the Top 5 this week are LMFAO's Sorry For Party Rocking, which fell from #2 to #4 and a debut from Christina Perri; Lovestrong. Perri is off to a cracking start, between this album and her climbing single. Let's hope she hangs around.
Adam Harvey also saw an encouraging debut this week, with his latest, Falling Into Place falling into #10. One position below was the resting place for Wasting Light for the Foo Fighters - marked as a Bullet Performer - up from #16.
