After debuting at No.1 this week with their second ARIA chart-topping single, Justice Crew should retain the top spot this coming weekend with “Que Sera”.
The Justice Crew track should keep Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea at No.2 for a second week with their “Problem”.
Retaining their Top 10 status this week should be ZHU (up from #10 to maybe Top 5), Sheppard, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Sia and possibly David Guetta with “Bad”. Also at the moment, there are two possible entries from local act 5 Seconds of Summer, as selling within the Top 10 is “Good Girls” and within the Top 20 is “Don’t Stop”, and looking to jump into the Top 10 this week is Milky Chance with “Stolen Dance” (TW-13).
DJ Snake and his “Turn Down for What” jumped to No.21 this past week, and it looks set for a Top 15 berth this coming weekend, whilst the returnee to the charts (and UK #1 position) “Waves” (TW-42) by Dutch DJ Mr. Probz could also be up within the fifteen, whilst Coldplay should retain their two Top 20 positions this week with “Magic” and the just new “A Sky Full of Stars” (TW-11).
The duo of Nico & Vinz entered at No.59 with “Am I Wrong”, which this week looks set to leap into the high end of the Top 30, whilst ‘The Voice: Blind Audition’ rendition of the Vance Joy song “Riptide” (TW-69) could help the original to jump back up into the mid-Top 30 region, and Illy could land his first ever Top 30 hit this week, as “Tightrope” (TW-48) looks set to leap up, his previous highest effort was with “Youngbloods” (HP-38, Oct 2013).
The new Tiesto track featuring Matthew Koma “Wasted” could debut within the Top 40, whilst the new Usher track “Good Kisser” and the return of The Janoskians with their Ska infused track “Real Girls Eat Cake” could both debut within the Top 50 region. This past week also, we saw one song that was performed on The Voice return to the charts (Beneath Your Beautiful at #91), and this week we could see more from Evanescence with “My Immortal”, The Temper Trap and “Sweet Disposition”, Will.i.am and Britney Spears with “Scream and Shout” and The Black Eyed Peas with “I Gotta Feeling” {due to Will.i.am’s presence on the show and the tracks being played}, The Lumineers with “Ho Hey”, Rihanna with “Stay”, Coldplay with their first big single “Yellow” and the Duffy single “Mercy”.
The other big musical event of the past week was this years Eurovision Song Contest from Copenhagen, Denmark, which saw Jessica Mauboy perform on the night of the second semi-finals singing “Sea of Flags”, which could land within the Top 50 this week, whilst the winner from Austria, drag-artiste Conchita Wurst and her winning entry “Rise Like a Phoenix” is currently within the Top 60, whilst second placed The Netherlands with The Common Linnets and their bluegrass infused track “Calm After the Storm” and Sweden’s Sanna Nielsen with her powerful ballad “Undo” are both currently sitting within the Top 80, and if they do chart it will be the first time we’ve seen more than one Eurovision track enter the charts after the finals.
Tove Lo came in at No.62 with “Stay High”, which could jump up into the high end of the Top 60 this week, as too Kiesza with “Hideaway” (TW-80), whilst we could see a debut from Linkin Park in the same region with “Until it’s Gone”. Further new entries in the lower fifty could come from The McClymonts with “Here’s to You and I” and Faith Evans and Twista with “Hope”.
Albums:
For the first time in just under five years, Michael Jackson could have a No.1 album in Australia, as his new compile of unfinished tracks entitled “Xscape” looks set to debut at the top this weekend, although it does have competition from the new album for The Black Keys, “Turn Blue”, which would become the bands first chart topping album in Australia, and third Top 10.
Retaining their Top 10 status this week should be the ‘Frozen’ Soundtrack, Michael Buble, INXS, Chet Faker and Thundamentals, whilst The Arctic Monkeys tour should boost “AM” (TW-13) back inside the Top 10, and possibly the ZHU EP “NightDay” (TW-20) might jump up into the ten, or at least just outside it, whilst the Eurovision 2014 compilation (TW-97) could leap back up and into the Top 10 for the first time (for any of the series).
With Will.i.am as one of the new judges on ‘The Voice’, and Channel 9 screening the Joanna Lumley interview with him after Tuesday nights show, his back catalogue looks set for a return this week, with “The E.N.D.” (Top 20), “Elephunk” (Top 30) and “Monkey Business” (Top 60) for The Black Eyed Peas set to return, plus his former solo album “#Willpower” selling within the Top 30 at the moment. Illy could jump up into the Top 30 with his “Cinematic” album (TW-64) and the new Michael Jackson album could see his “The Essential” (TW-82) collection jump back up into the Top 40 and Michael Buble’s tour could return his “Collection” (all of his previous albums) box set back into the Top 50.
