damianThis Weeks Top Twenty Albums

Some big movers this week but mostly downwards.
ARIA Album Chart Report- 4th September
Local Content Score- 5 of top 20
Kasey Chamber’s run at the top of The Twenty was a short one, lasting a grand total of one week, but Carnival didn’t fall too far. This week it’s in at number two so there could still be a long chart run ahead of it. Regardless, Kasey’s success, along with the Dixie Chicks in at eleventh, proves that Australians don’t mind a bit of country music, which is always an interesting thing to know.
Another interesting genre in the Twenty is the appearance of some local classical music in the form of The Ten Tenors. They debuted in at number eight this week with their new album Here’s to the Heroes. Have to say that this is one of the more bizarre local Top Twenty debuts but, again, it says something interesting about local musical tastes. Cant see it staying in the Twenty for long but you never know.
Eskimo Joe were in at ninth, still with only one platinum to show for it which I find weird after twelve weeks in the Top Ten. Behind them in at sixteenth were the Rogue Traders in what could be one of their lowest rankings ever. Who knows, they may even be out of the Twenty next week.
One long term resident of the Top Twenty that did leave the Twenty were the Veronicas but guess who replaced them in at number twenty- Pete Murray! See the Sun has been on the charts for forty nine weeks now, a figure very close to the big fifty two weeks/one year mark. It hasn’t been in The Twenty for a while which often means a quiet slide off the chart but Pete’s album has kinda been hovering in the twenties all this time. How it’s gotten back into the Twenty is beyond me but after the recent run of both the Rogues and Veronicas the ARIA chart is starting to show it’s a weird popularity playground indeed.
(On an interesting note Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell album has been on the ARIA chart for 101 weeks. That’s almost two years on the chart with TWENTY TWO platinums! That’s over 1.5 million albums sold here in Australia alone)
