Not a very exciting week with a new local debut the only thing of note.
ARIA Album Chart Report- 18th September
Local Content Score- 4 of top 20
Locals have gone very quiet on the ARIA Charts this week with only four making an appearance.
The only significant thing to happen this week was yet another debut from a soap princess trying to make it in music land. They may be getting their bogan rear ends handed to them in the ratings war with the crew from Summer Bay but Neighbours dominates when it comes to getting their stars a piece of pop stardom. If it’s not Kylie it’s Danni or Delta (anyone seen her lately?) or a certain spunky Rogue Trader or that chick who got a gig on that terrible DOA movie or.... The list just goes on.
This week it’s Ms Stephanie McIntosh’s turn and she hasn’t done too bad, her album Tightrope debuting at fourth. Whether this will continue beyond the first week is unknown but they (soap stars pretending to be singers) usually have an impressive media machine behind them. It should be around for a few weeks at least.
The second local on the chart was the Eskimos who improved their position by two, making it to seventh. Black Fingernails, Red Wine has been in the Top Ten for fourteen weeks now, which is a good solid run, but isn’t it about time that translated to another platinum? Why does it take a few weeks to get one, and then three or four months to get the second?
Kasey Chambers was doing well in at eighth but it was a steep fall from third. Could be a sign of things to come.
From eighth it was all the way down to twentieth where the next local, the Rogue Traders, was book ending The Twenty. It was a fairly steep fall of six places for the Rogues but with their first full tour of Australia underway they should be back soon.
Finally, they weren’t in The Twenty, but The Veronicas, in at twenty two, just went to their fourth platinum. Not a bad haul...
As always head over to the ARIA site to see the whole chart.

Yet another Neighbours star going popstar
