Go go Gabriella Cilmi! The teen sensation is still sitting pretty at the top of the ARIA singles charts with her smash hit “Sweet About Me.”
The only other Aussie to appear in the top ten singles charts is former teen queen Vanessa Amorosi. Her comeback single “Perfect” is back in at number seven this week.
The girls have also made inroads in the albums charts. Gabriella Cilmi’s Lessons to be Learned is holding steady at number two, while Vanessa Amorosi’s newie Somewhere in the Real World debuted at number four.
Sandwiched between these lovely ladies we’ve got Pete Murray’s Summer at Eureka. Usher’s new release Here I Stand pushed him from the top spot, but you can’t complain about being number three.
Apocalypso by The Presets rounds out a solid block of Aussie talent. Seven weeks after its release this massive album is at number five.
Sydney hip hop outfit The Herd has made an impressive debut. Their latest album Summerland is sitting at number seven.
Damien Leith is still hanging in the top ten with his nostalgic covers release Catch the Wind: Songs of a Generation.
