R.I.P., in 2013 more than 150 musicians, songwriters, producers, actors and writers passed into Rock and Roll Heaven including the writer of the song, Alan O'Day.

Not since this time last year has a song spent such a long time at the top of the ARIA Charts, as this week Robin Thicke with T.I. and Pharrell with “Blurred Lines” spends an eighth week at No.1; plus the song is now re-certified 4x▲(Platinum) in sales, that’s 280,000+ in sales so far.

Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Harvey outsold Kanye West this week on the ARIA chart with a collection of country covers.

The big winner of The Voice was without a doubt Robin Thicke. Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ outsold Voice victor Harrison Craig’s ‘Unconditional’ by almost 4 to 1 in the past week but also sold more than the Ricky Martin and Delta Goodrem sales added together.

It was either going to be Kanye West or Empire of the Sun to take out the No.1 spot in Australia this week, but they land at No.2 and No.3 respectively, as local country artists Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Harvey have teamed up and their collection “The Great Country Songbook” takes the new No.1 spot on the ARIA Albums chart this week.

With Robin Thicke in the country last week doing press and performing his song “Blurred Lines” on The Voice grand finale Monday night (20-June), it has kept his song at the top of the ARIA Singles chart for a seventh week.

The Voice Grand Finale screened across Australia on Monday night, and with the multiple performances from guest acts and judges, it seems like the winner Harrison Craig might not be able to secure himself the No.1 spot in the country this week with his newly released winners single “Unconditional”.
