Urban Telegraph - Where Aussie Culture Gets Urbanised

 
Want to know how well Aussie culture is doing at the moment? Want to know some interesting things about our past? Think Aussie culture needs to start updating itself for a more relevant future? Then this is the place for you. Welcome to The Urban Telegraph.

Catch up report- October 1st-9th

November 14th 2006 00:15
This tiny report is part of my attempts to get The Urban Tele up to date. It’s about a month old.

ARIA Album Chart Report- 9th October
Local Content Score- 8 of top 20

Bigger week in ARIA land with eight locals in The Twenty.

There was a new top local with Jet’s debut in at third, going straight to platinum. It was followed in at third with another debut from Idol judge Marcia Hines in at sixth. That one didn’t even reach gold status.

Eskimo Joe was in at ninth, Stephanie McIntosh was in at thirteenth, Rogue Traders was at fourteenth and Wolfmother at fifteenth.


The last two locals in The Twenty were Kasey Chambers at nineteenth and Evermore at twenty to finish out an impressive week.



Top 20 Weekend Cinema Box Office Takings October 5th - 8th
Local Content Score- 1 of Top 20

The week that propelled Kenny into the ‘okay, I give up’ category of box office watching. After a 33% drop the week before Kenny turned around and increased by 30% for a weekly haul of $338,993. It was amazing stuff and helped Kenny reach tenth spot and $4,564,970, off an average of $3,054 a screen.

From here the question was just much higher could Kenny’s box office go? At this stage it looked like $6 million.

The footy season is upon us, and with it some big figures.

Top 20 Metropolitan TV Ratings 1st - 7th October

Local Content Score- 17 of top 20

This week it was Rugby League’s turn to be the number one show with 2.552 million viewers in the metropolitan area, a figure which was the same as last years. The big difference of course was the fact that there were more Melbourne viewers than Sydney viewers. Bizarre.
Another final show was also in at third with 1.826 million.

Second this week was Dancing with the Stars with a very healthy 1.858 million viewers and Thank God You’re Here in at fourth, which had 1.751 million.

From there it was Aussie Idol at seventh, a very impressive eighth spot for All Saints, and Home and Away in at tenth. Eighth and tenth- they’re huge figures for Aussie drama. Go Aussie drama go.

At twelfth was 20 to 1, Forensic Investigators at fourteenth and Spicks and Specks doing it for public broadcasting at fifteenth. Jamie’s Kitchen and Better Homes and Gardens rounded out the locals at sixteenth and eighteenth, and that was the week that was.

Again, if you want to check out the charts for any of this week’s stuff just get in contact and I’ll email you a copy of each.
