A1 Chart Issue 1425 : Who'd a thought Katy Perry Owns It !

If you told me Katy Perry would hold the #1 & #2 single this week, as well the #1 album and video even a week ago I wouldn't said yeah right.....ah time ! Well Miss Perry here you are owning this chart, you're a firework!

A1 Chart Issue 1424 : Surprise !

A1 Chart Issue 1423

A deserved ARIA winner, and one for next year..

Angus and Julia Stone's magical song "Big Jet Plane" got single of the year, and deservedly so, interesting video too (love that)..charts this week here:


and Little Red, should be up for something next year, based on "Rock It" alone :)

Aussie Movers #2

It's Sparkadia! It's blissfully beautiful! So glad we have talent like this downunder, thank you!

Aussie Movers

Kimbra ex NZ, Aussie girl featured in Miami Horror's #2 hit "I Look To You" here she is on her own, and own it she does!
A bit Bjork meets Tori with an Aussie twist, nice one Kimbra!

A1 Chart Issue 1422 : Gleeilicoius

I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing

Do What?
Chart an officially released 2009 single, yet it has success this year as well so it ain't necessarily old old. Still I jumped on this bandwagon later than most and well it's just right!...So the new chart will feature a new #1, a debut at #1, and really a 2009 hit, but here its 2010. Deal. Actually it peaked in 2010 in the UK, so we share that!

By the way this song ALWAYS makes me feel good, the original album version as played here is best.

Adrian Lux triumphs and Sia is my fav Aussie gal of 2010.......as the crowd go who??? Welcome to A1 Chart Issue 1421

Special mention to Sia, the album is still on high rotation and clocks up another week at #1 album wise.
The album is outstanding and perfectly flows track to track, including a great interpretation of a Madonna forgotten classic. This is possibly my favourite track of the album "Cloud" performed live. Enjoy:



Oh and this Adrian Lux:

Lady Gaga the girl is an inspirational leader, as well as....

Information posted directly from emails given to her fans, posted here purely for its importance, thank you:

Thanks to all of her Little Monsters, Lady Gaga dominated the 2010 Video Music Awards, taking home a total of 8 awards! During her acceptance speech for the coveted "Video of the Year" award, Gaga revealed the title of her forthcoming album, Born This Way, and gave a peek at at its title track.

Lady Gaga's 2010 Video Music Award Wins:

Video of the Year - "Bad Romance"

Best Pop Video - "Bad Romance"

Best Female Video - "Bad Romance"

Best Collaboration - "Telephone" feat. Beyonce

Best Dance Video - "Bad Romance"

Best Choreography - "Bad Romance"

Best Direction - "Bad Romance"

Best Editing - "Bad Romance"

Gaga shared the spotlight at the event with a very special entourage consisting of former soldiers discharged from service due to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the policy of the United States' military that forbids gay and lesbian soldiers from being open about their sexuality.

She is now asking fans to join her and SLDN (Servicemembers Legal Defense Network) in helping repeal the discriminatory policy. Since the inception of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in 1994, SLDN has been legally defending and fighting for the rights of the courageous service members unfairly discharged.

R & B goes Dance Part 2

oh i forgot another, same thing stylish black r&b star doing dance...

Ne-Yo - Beautiful Monster

Has so called R&B gone to Dance ?

Here we go, line them up. So called R&B artists on the verge of Dance, I guess it's what sells so yeah, but these three, and 2 with thier titles with "DJ" and "Club" sound all just not to dissimiliar. They are good hits, but nothing new here, very formula-based hits, but they sell, so noones complaining!

Dynamite - Tiao Cruz


DJ got us fallin' in love - Usher & Co


Flo Rida / Guetta - Club Can't Handle Me


I mix 'em up all the time!

# 1ALBUM: ENRIQUE- enrique igelasis

HIT PREDICTION: I turn to you - melanie c



COMMENTARY: 27th August 2000

1.MUSIC -Madonna holds on top for an impressive 3 weeks and now she is #1 on 4 mega

charts: mine, the uk, the aussie, and the navaria chart!!


3.BE WITH YOU- ennrique peaked at #14 back on the 28th May with this track, and

now it re-enters at #3. You see the track has been re-released here with proper

air-play, and now even I realise how grand this most heart-breaking song is.

This makes 3 top 5 hits for Enrique this year, including the epic #1 with

whitney. BTW he has the #1 albumagain this week.


15.SO REAL- mandy returns with another catchy little track. Admittidly it took a

while for me to catch onto this one, but its as sweet as she is.


19.DON'T YOU WORRY- a happening track form uk girl band madasun. Nothing

amazing but a damn fine hit.

Dedication

I have a niece ! "Aniston Faith" born just 2 hours.....for you baby girl!

Video Notables #4

Tragedy hit this group, just as they were ready to get global, this is a great follow up to Dance The Way I Feel, lots of Presets- This Boy's In Love elements in this both visually and musically, and that just means HUGE to me :

Video Notables #3

Interesting to see how this one pans out here in OZ and the USA. The UK better make it what it deserves MEGA SUCCESS!!

Video Notables #2

And another one..wait to the end its well graphic!

Video Notables

McFly - Party Girl ..won't be played in Oz but the video production alone is well impressive :

Illegal M.I.A Il-ly-girl

Il-le-gal she says Il-ly-girl. illegal..il-le-gal (il-ly gi-rl)

m.i.a is amazing....none else has thought of this, and the song is so racey and as brilliant!
Watch the video if you can:)






and there is others: Tequilla (To Kill Her) , LoveALot (I love Allah), and even XXXO is XXX oh!oh!, Born Free (we are so NOT!) and more to be revealed later...

and we are all connected to our iphone, to the interent, to the google, to the government...she's onto something our girl..it could be illygirl !

Nostalgia : 10 years ago Summer Moved On : A-Ha

Summer Moved On... .. I'm having a moment with this heart aching song again. A-ha returned with this epic song in the Winter of 2000, (Summer to my northern residents). I played it again this week, it still gets me, reducing me to tears. Morten's voice just quivers emotion that transends to me in epic proportions. It was #1 for 5 weeks in 2000, and wound up as the #2 song of the year. On reflection it should of been 8 weeks on top , and The Song Of  2000.

Listen, with headphones, alone  and just feel that feeling...

A-ha Summer Moved On -
