Australian END OF YEAR Charts

[Sean]

The ARIA end of year charts have just been released.

No surprises on the albums chart with Delta Goodrem at #1 for the year.

Over on the singles chart, Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian is at #1 for the year with his debut single. Amazingly, Delta Goodrem has 5 singles in the end of year Top 20! "Born To Try" would've been higher but some of its sales counted for 2002 (it was #37 on the 2002 end of year chart). "Predictable" also could've been higher - it's only been on the charts for 3 weeks and in that time sold enough to place at #17 on the chart.

Delta Goodrem also has the #1 Music DVD of the year.

[ListenToMe]

Thanks for posting :)

I had a glance at the albums, and I was really happy with Delta at #1 and Norah at #2. I thought maybe Christina would have made the Top 10, but #12 is good too, and the album is still selling. I was really shocked at Dixie Chicks beaing quite a bit higher than Shania, I'd say "Up!" has disappointed in Australia thus far.

BTW, do you know the period of time for these year end charts?

[Sean]

Stripped has done really well, being lodged between the 10 and 20 positions for virtually the entire year.

I believe the chart runs pretty close to the calendar year with at least the last week of December of the previous year counted, possibly 2 weeks. I doubt it'd be more than that given how high Delta's "Predictable" is and it had only been on the charts for 3 weeks when they were released.

[Arson]

Sean, is there an official airplay chart in Australia?

[jond7699]

I wish "Not Me Not I" was higher I think that is her best single to date. Although I have yet to hear "Predictable"

It was the 4th single off the album! What would one expect?

But "Predictable" was the 5th single and it's above NMNI! Oh well, at least NMNI was a #1 hit and one of the 20 biggest songs of the year from the biggest album of the year!

About the airplay chart.... one exists but I don't know where I can find it. It doesn't seem to be readily available to the public. Nobody really pays attention to it. I can assure you that Delta would most probably have 4 or 5 of the top 10 airplay songs of the year.... she got MAJOR airplay with every song she released on a bunch of formats/stations.

Year of Delta's dawn
Cameron Adams, music reporter
30dec03

DELTA Goodrem's record-breaking domination of the charts is reflected in CD sales for 2003.

Goodrem's debut album, Innocent Eyes, has sold more than 970,000 copies since its March release.
It is not only easily the highest-selling album of 2003, but also the highest-selling album in Australia since Shania Twain's Come on Over in 1999.

Goodrem is expected to break the magic million sales mark next week, the first Australian act to do so since John Farnham's Whispering Jack.

Goodrem's success spilled over into the singles chart.

Each of the five singles from Innocent Eyes – Born to Try, Lost Without You, Innocent Eyes, Not Me, Not I and Predictable – have reached No. 1 (a chart record) and are all placed in the top 20 highest sellers of the year.

Between them, Goodrem's singles sold more than 600,000 copies, while her Delta DVD was the year's highest-selling DVD.

Goodrem's main chart challenge came from Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian and his instant – and phenomenal – sales.

After only five weeks of release, Sebastian's Angels Brought Me Here is Australia's highest-selling single of 2003, his rush-recorded Just As I Am the fifth highest-selling album after just three weeks in stores.

But despite Goodrem's and Sebastian's remarkable sales, it wasn't a great year for new music.

Seven albums in 2003's Top 10 (Norah Jones, Avril Lavigne, Eminem, the 8 Mile soundtrack, Matchbox Twenty, Robbie Williams and Coldplay) were released in 2002, but outsold newer releases in 2003.

Powderfinger's Vulture Street was the highest-selling rock album of the year, while Kylie Minogue's under-performing Body Language was only the year's 54th highest seller – almost outsold by her previous record, Fever, which landed at No.57 (and was 2002's fourth highest overall seller).

Robbie Williams has three albums in the top 100 and three DVDs in the top 20 DVDs of the year.

Eminem's Lose Yourself almost saw the rapper score highest-selling single for two consecutive years (Without Me was 2002's No. 1 single).

Interestingly, several No. 1 singles from big name acts fare poorly in the harsh light of the year-end wrap up.

The Australian Idol Final 12 single Rise Up was a No. 1 hit for several weeks, yet is only the 63rd highest-selling single of the year.

Britney Spears' and Madonna's Me Against the Music – also No. 1 for several weeks – is only No. 48 in the year-end poll, while Kylie Minogue's No. 1 Slow only manages to be the 59th highest-selling single of the year.

While they were all No. 1 hits on paper and platinum amounts of all the singles were sent to record stores, actual sales weren't enough to figure in the right end of the year-end calculations.

Acts with multiple singles in the top 100 include Christina Aguilera (three placings, the highest Beautiful at No. 24) and Justin Timberlake, three singles (the highest his No. 1 Rock Your Body at No. 46, and a guest spot on the Black Eyed Peas' Where is the Love at No. 3).

Sixteen Australian singles (five by Delta Goodrem) wound up in the top 100 singles (there were 18 last year), while 20 Australian albums were in the top 100 albums (compared with 22 last year).

Nikki Webster should be on there. She has more Gold singles than 80% of Australian artists.
