P!nk chalks up ten weeks at number one the ARIA Album Chart.

Hats off to P!nk this week, as her massive album “Greatest Hits…So Far” achieves ten consecutive weeks at the peak of the ARIA Album Chart.  The last album to spend longer at number one was Susan Boyle’s debut album “I Dreamed A Dream”, which held for eleven straight weeks at the end of 2009 and into 2010.  The last greatest hits package to string together a longer consecutive period at the top was Bryan Adams with “So Far So Good”, which managed a twelve week run as part of a fourteen week total in 1993/94.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Wynter Gordon retains top spot with “Dirty Talk”, holding off Enrique Iglesias featuring Ludacris and DJ Frank E with “Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You)”.  Alexis Jordan achieves her first top 3 Australian hit as “Happiness” blasts from 6 to 3, and Britney Spears makes a charge for the top with her new single “Hold It Against Me”, up from 10 to 4.  There are two new top 10 entries, the first from Avril Lavigne on debut with “What The Hell”, her seventh ARIA top 10 single and first since “When You’re Gone” hit #4 in August 2007.   The second is “I Just Had Sex” from The Lonely Island featuring Akon, which is up from 15 to 10, the group’s second top 10 single result following “Jizz In My Pants” which made it to #10 in March 2009.

Outside the top 10, there are six singles achieving new highpoints this week. Katy Perry’s “E.T.” leads the way, up a spot to #11, Flo Rida’s “Turn Around (5,4,3,2,1)” moves from 14 to 13, Afrojack featuring Eva Simons and “Take Over Control” bolts from 23 to 17, Martin Solveig featuring Dragonette is up from 21 to 18 with “Hello”, Drapht’s “Rapunzel” moves five spots to #25, and “Animal” from Neon Trees races to #30 from 37.  In addition to Avril Lavigne, top 40 debuts come from Usher with “More” at 23, Rihanna’s “S&M” at 27 and Christina Aguilera’s “Show Me How You Burlesque” at 29.
