This week’s ARIA chart demonstrates that there are still people in Australia who don’t own a Pink album.
For the third week in a row, Pink’s Greatest Hits (so far, of course) tops the ARIA charts, and with a healthy lead, too.
She sold more than 26,000 copies on the Weighted Album Chart, followed by Susan Boyle’s resurrected Christmas album The Gift with a little over 17,000 copies.
Glee’s Volume 4 debuted at number three, Hamish & Andy’s Celebrating 50 Glorious Years at six, and a disappointing number nine debut for Black Eyed Peas’ new album The Beginning.
Otherwise, like last week, there weren’t too many debuts. Duffy’s Endlessly popped in at number 27, Alan Jackson’s 34 Number Ones at 49, Nicki Minaj’s Black Friday at 71, Flo Rida at 82 and David Guetta at number 91.
It was mostly stable with existing releases, presumably due to people getting their Christmas shopping rolling early.
The only big shifts were Kate Ceberano’s Merry Christmas up to 54 from 147 (and presumably going higher the closer we get to the big day) and Tame Impala’s J Award-winning album Innerspeaker, which returned to the top 100 at 95 after languishing at 167 last week.
The biggest digital sales on the list were from Glee, 3651 sales matching physical tallies in NSW and Victoria, and Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy shifting 2585 online copies, only a thousand or so less than his physical sales across the entire nation.
