Leaping up twelve places from last weeks debut is Eminem and “Berzerk” which instantly becomes his sixteenth Australian Top 10 entry and also his 14th Top 5 placement, and is his first Top 10 since his last No.1 single “Love the Way You Lie” (peaked July 2010).
John Newman was in the country last week, and that has helped his former UK No.1 single “Love Me Again” to bullet up twenty-four places to No.6, becoming his second Top 10 placing here, as he was the featured vocalist on the Rudimental track “Feel the Love” (HP-3, peaked July 2012).
