damianThis Weeks Top Twenty Albums
September 12th 2006 01:59
Seven locals in the Top Twenty this week after a few return from the lower-than-twenty wilderness.
ARIA Album Chart Report- 11th September
Local Content Score- 7 of top 20
Another weird one on the charts this week with albums refusing to go away when they quite rightfully should.
The top local was Kasey Chambers again who was in at third, down one spot. Not a bad effort so far from the former Deadringer but with some tough import competition it will be interesting to see if she can outlast them for a good solid run at the top. On precedence, folk/country music has been a really good genre in the last eighteen months, with albums from Pete Murray and Bernard Fanning doing really well, so Carnival could very well replicate their performance. Only time will tell.
The next local was all the way down in ninth where the Eskimoes are performing the way a ‘normal’ album should. After the last couple of weeks Black Fingernails, Red Wine has been the only album that has aged gracefully with a slow, dignified drop through the charts. Other albums on the other hand have decided to go for the plucky, yet scrappy, battler title with bizarre chart revivals and volatile falls back to the lower end of The Twenty (see Rogue Traders). Knowing why this happens is probably one of the darker arts of cultural economics, and it makes ARIA predictions almost impossible. Maybe one day I’ll be an all knowing ARIA Master...
In at eighth was the Ten Tenors, doing fairly well for ten blokes who make a living from singing loudly together. Haven’t broken gold status yet (35,000 sales) but hopefully that’s not too far off.
The erratic Rogue Traders improved their position by two this to get to fourteenth. I’ve given up trying to work out what’s happening with this album. It makes my head hurt.
It looks like Pete Murray’s album See the Sun could be looking for a fifty two week anniversary in the Top Twenty. There’s no other explanation for it being back in at eighteenth.
In at nineteenth Hugh Jackman returned to the Twenty with The Boy From Oz Soundtrack. With the rave reviews the show has been getting, at least this album’s return to The Twenty has an explanation.
Finally The Veronicas were back in at twenty after climbing three spots. Where they’ll be next week who knows.
As always head over to the ARIA site to see the whole chart.

See The Sun is a fortnight away from celebrating 52 weeks on the ARIA Charts.
