Adele returns to number one in 2012, in this week’s uninspiring (apart from Foster The People) ARIA chart.
Adele 21
The queen of the chart in 2011 has reclaimed her throne in 2012, 21 returning to number one this week.
It’s a flashback all around (not least due to the dearth of new releases): LMFAO at number two, Reece Mastin at three, Coldplay at four and Bruno Mars at five.
Triplej’s Like a Version, Gotye’s Making Mirrors and the Black Keys shoot back up to the next three spots, with One Direction and Florence + The Machine rounding out the top ten.
The only new entries are the Chipwrecked soundtrack at 42 and Skrillex’s Bangarang EP at 44.
Unsurprisingly, Buble’s Christmas album plummeted from number one last week to number 29, but that still means people were buying it in the week after Christmas.
LMFAO’s ‘Sexy And I Know It’ retains the top spot on the Singles Chart.
But the big story is Foster The People’s incessant ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ single is finally all the way up at number two, 15 months since its initial release.
Can they make it to number one? We’ll have to wait until next week.
