The last chart of 2010 sees the only Australian performed No.1 for 2010, as Guy Sebastian’s “Who’s That Girl” takes over the top spot after three weeks of waiting to move up to the top spot. But it’s not the only feat that this new No.1 achieves; it also gives Eve her first ever No.1 appearance, and Guy his fifth overall No.1, which break a new chart record that has stood for just over a year. With Guy scoring his fifth chart-topper, he becomes the ONLY Australian Male Solo performer to have hit the top spot five times, moving from the three way tie he achieved last year with Johnny O’Keefe and John Farnham, who are now tied at No.2 with four No.1’s apiece. The list of overall Australian acts is listed below…
No.1 – Artists 10 – Kylie Minogue 8 – Delta Goodrem 5 – Guy Sebastian 5 – Olivia Newton-John 4 – Johnny O’Keefe 4 – John Farnham 3 – The Easybeats 3 – Silverchair 3 – The Seekers 3 – Shannon Noll
“Who’s That Girl” is now the 974th No.1 single in Australia (1940 to 2010) and the 17th No.1 for 2010, plus it’s the 13th No.1 for Sony Australia, having last scored with Guy’s last No.1 single “I Like it Like That” (Sept 2009). It’s the sixth ‘Who’ song to reach No.1, with Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R” being the last a month ago, the 15th ‘That’ at the top (his last No.1 was the last ‘That’, and it’s the 19th ‘Girl’ to reach No.1, with Rihanna’s “Only Girl (in the World)” to last land there.
So after two weeks at the top, Bruno Mars drops down to No.2 with “Grenade”, whilst former No.1 “The Time (Dirty Bit)” for The Black Eyed Peas holds at No.3. Chris Brown’s “Yeah 3x” moves to a new peak of No.4, swapping places with Katy Perry’s “Firework”, moving down to No.5 this week. Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R” holds at No.6, followed by two new peaking tracks, Jessica Mauboy’s “Saturday Night” moves up three places to No.7, and breaking into the Top 10 is another questionable-female track, David Guetta and Rihanna’s “Who’s That Chick”, which is up four places to No.8 this week, just as Rihanna’s “Only Girl (in the World)” drops out of the Top 10 to No.11 this week. Far East Movement’s “Like a G6” and P!nk’s “Raise Your Glass” are both down two places to No.9 and No.10 respectively.
NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Four weeks in the charts and four jumps for Wynter Gordon’s “Dirty Talk”, which this week leaps fourteen places to No.18. Last weeks highest new entry “Happiness” for Alexis Jordan is up one place to No.24, and up ten places to a new peak of No.25 is the new track for Flo Rida, “Turn Around (5,4,3,2,1)”. Afrojack and Eva Simons move up four places to No.30 as they try to “Take over Control”, and the other current hot dance track, Martin Solveig’s “Hello” is up three places to No.33. My Chemical Romance “Sing” up four places to No.43, and re-entering the Top 50 and climbing twelve places to No.39 is Taio Cruz and Kylie Minogue with “Higher”, just three places lower than its previous peak, and also climbing into the fifty is Neon Trees and their debut single “Animal”, up nine places to No.48.
The highest new entry of the week comes from dance troupe, singers and Australia’s Got Talent winners for 2010, Justice Crew, who debut at No.31 with their second single “Friday to Sunday”. Their debut single “And Then We Dance” peaked at No.26 in mid-October.
There are only two new peaks in the lower 50, with The Script’s new single “Nothing” moving up a place to No.52, and Justin Bieber’s “Pray (Acoustic Version)” up eight places to a new peak of No.83
There are five new entries in the lower end of the chart this week, first up is Birds of Tokyo with their new single “Wild at Heart”, entering at No.82 this week. Kylie Minogue debuts with two limited edition seasonal downloads, firstly at No.85 with her rendition of “Santa Baby” (originally performed by Eartha Kitt in 1953), plus she also enters at No.89 with her version of “Let it Snow” (originally recorded by Vaughn Monroe & His Orchestra in 1947), and most recently done by Michael Buble, whose version re-enters a couple of places higher at No.87 this week.
Kings of Leon are touring here in March 2011, and tickets for those shows went on sale in early December, but this week they jump back up seventeen places with “Radioactive” (83 to 66), plus they debut at No.90 with the second single from “Come around Sundown” (TW-14) entitled “Pyro”. And debuting at No.92 is Daft Punk with “Derezzed” taken from the ‘Tron: Legacy’ Soundtrack which is up to a new peak of No.29 this week helped by the movie opening around the country last week.
P!nk is THE stocking filler this Christmas in Australia, as her “Greatest Hits… So Far” spends its sixth consecutive week at the top of the ARIA Album Charts, plus it takes P!nk’s tally of weeks spent at No.1 to seventeen accumulated weeks, putting her at equal No.28 on the list of acts with ‘Most Accumulated Weeks at No.1’, alongside John Lennon and The Seekers.
This time last year Susan Boyle was in P!nk’s place (No.1 dominator), but she settles into a fourth non-consecutive week at No.2 by moving up one place with her second album “The Gift”, swapping places with Bon Jovi’s, who’s “Greatest Hits” drops down to No.3. Altiyan Childs’ self-titled debut album and the Glee Volume 4 album both holds still this week at No.4 and No.5 respectively.
Guy Sebastian scores the only new peak inside the Top 10 this week, as his new No.1 single helps his greatest hits collection “Twenty Ten” moves up a place to No.6, swapping places with his X-Factor judge Ronan Keating’s “Duet”, which drops to No.7. Katy Perry re-enters the Top 10 at No.8 with her “Teenage Dream” album, pushing The Black Eyed Peas’ “The Beginning” down one place to No.9, and also re-entering the Top 10 at No.10 is James Blunt’s “Some Kind of Trouble”.
NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Bruno Mars jumps up seven places to No.13 with his former No.7 album “Doo-Wops and Hooligans”. Josh Groban’s “Illuminations” album is the biggest leaping album of the week, up twenty-five places to No.21, helped no doubt by people buying for their mum’s for Christmas (I know I brought one). And with the Tron: Legacy” film opening in the past week, it has helped the soundtrack by Daft Punk to climb back up four places to a new peak of No.29.
The only new entry to the Top 100 this week is the compilation/soundtrack from the Glee TV series entitled “Glee: The Music – The Complete Season One”, which enters at No.65. Also lower down we see Annie Lennox’s seasonal album “A Christmas Cornucopia” move up eight places to No.76, and with his recent tour here, Jay-Z’s “The Hits Collection Vol.1” moves up ten places to a new peak of No.89.

HEY BABY (DROP IT TO THE FLOOR) Pitbull Feat. T-Pain ●
Best song that references both Massive Attack and the fact that hit can mean both a successful song and also a way of disciplining children in the top 50 this year imo.
Best song that sounds like a Train song that supposedly sounds like an INXS song but the result is more comparable to syphilis in the top 50 this year imo
Best song... 1. That rhymes crystal with style 2. That uses the word slizzard 3. That compares things to non existant things 4. That one-ups Jesse McCartney 5. That is that work of satan 6. That features the Mooninites from Aqua Teen Hunger Force ...in the top 50 this year imo
Best song about driving on the freeway at a speed which is either, below the speed limit, equal to the speed limit, or above the speed limit (illegal btw) in the top 50 this year imo
Predictions: NONE Right, even the one that was different was wrong!! This is why it pays sometimes to be the odd one out, but here no-one was the right oddball

The song titles of late have been rubbish to work with of late, but I progress nonetheless.
1. Guy Sebastian (feat Eve) - Please Identify that Bootylicious Female For Me 2. Bruno Mars - Handheld Explosive Device 3. Black Eyed Peas - The Data Output of the Clock or Calendar Depending on How Specific is Needed (The Part That Wynter is Talking About) 4. Chris Brown - A Song That Was Already Being Ridiculously Overplayed On US Radio, With it's Airplay Multiplied By Three Such That They Have to Overlap the Song With Itself Whilst Still Playing Just so They Can Play it Enough 5. Katy Perry - Something That Has Its Time To Shine and Make its Mark, For About Five Seconds 6. Ke$ha - I Assure You Fine Respectible Individual, While My Diction May Not Be Optimum For My Present Occupation, it is Merely a Result of My Condition Being Equivalent to My Condition 7. David Guetta (feat Rihanna) - Please Identify that Bootylicious Chicken For Me 8. Far East Movement (feat Cataracs & Dev) - When We Are Consuming Our Beverages in the Correct Manner Similar to a Hailstorm, it is Similar to a Aeroplane Variety That Does Not Exist. This Makes Us Better Than Drake 9. Jessica Mauboy (feat Ludacris) - The Time of Day on the Last Day of the Week Wherein the Destination You Are Approaching Requires You to Go at A Speed Wherein the Relativity to the Speed Limit is Undetermined 10. P!nk - I See You Have Made Quite an Effort to Chemically Combine That Pile of Sand So Please Lift it Up So it Can Be Seen 11. Rihanna - The Solitary Female Who Through Lack of Intelligence, Stumbled (Inside the Earth's Core) 12. Bruno Mars - Your Appearance Has Something To Do With A Radiohead Song and a Fastball Song, Do You Have The Bends, Perhaps That's All The Pain Money Can Buy 13. Pitbull (feat T-Pain) - I'm Totally Sick Of Writing Stuff About You Baby, Just Drop The $&@*ing Thing to the $&@*ing Floor And Be Done! 14. Taio Cruz - An Explosive Device Which is Inferior to a Grenade as it Has Less Mobility and You'd Probably Get Pummled Or Knifed, Depending On Whether You're Playing Halo or Call of Duty, It's Not Really Specified in the Song 15. Wynter Gordon - Having a Possibly Intellectual Conversation With Your Associate or Subordinate About Various Actions In Sexual Intercourse 16. Enrique Iglesias (feat Nicole Scherzinger) - The Rate In Which A Vital Organ Of Yours Does Its Thang Which Is Probably 4/4 Like Say EVERY SONG IN THE CHART 17. Willow - A Somewhat Ironic Ode To Female Oppression in the 20th Century As Noted By the Fact That the Longer Hair Which Was Used as a Figurative Shackle Was Being Used Back as a Whip, Like a Slave Driver to a Slave, All Of Which Is Channeled Within the Chorus of This Song, 67 TIMES!!! 18. James Blunt - The Love Song About Hearing Mr. Monahan On The Radio/Stereo and Using it To Woo Your Soul Sister Enough to Make Her Remain Inert in Her Current Location 19. Cee Lo Green - I May Be Six Years Late To The Party, But F**k You, You %*#%* I Don't Want You Back 20. Mike Posner - <-- That's You, But I'm All Like
I sorta went off on a tangent there, oh well.
