Kylie’s Got the "X" Factor

Kylie Minogue has burst back onto the albums charts this week with a number-one debut. Her tenth studio album X is sitting pretty at the top of the ARIA charts in a big week for Aussie artists.

Her single “2 Hearts” has slipped to number nine this week, just behind The Veronicas’ “Hook Me Up” at eight.

Kylie’s album outperformed another Aussie legend, Jimmy Barnes, who debuted at number three with Out of the Blue.

These massive albums have pushed Human Nature’s Motown tribute, Get Ready, to number five this week. They sit just ahead of Delta Goodrem’s Delta at number six.

Aussies have also claimed the last three spots in the top ten. Guy Sebastian’s The Memphis Album is at number eight, ahead of Keith Urban’s greatest hits record 18 Kids at nine, and the revamped Young Divas’ outfit at number 10 with New Attitude.

But the real surprise this week was the performance of Australian Idol Natalie Gauci’s debut single “Here I Am.” A number two debut isn’t a disaster by any means, but it’s the first time an Aussie Idol has failed to claim the top spot in its first week.

Here’s this week’s complete Aussie top 10.

Delta Says "I Do"

Cuter than cute celebrity couple Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden are getting married. Contrary to earlier rumours, Delta accepted her Irish beau’s proposal last Friday.

“Contrary to false reports, the couple were hoping to keep the news private however they feel it is important to now confirm their exciting news,” a press statement said.

The pair began dating in 2004, after ending her long-term relationship with tennis ace Mark Philippoussis. They faced a tough time from the British media who alleged Delta was responsible for Brian’s split with ex-wife Kerry Katona of Atomic Kitten.

It’s great to see they’ve come out the other side and seem more in love than ever. There’s no word yet on when they’ll tie the knot, but I’ll keep you posted.

Dion and Delta To Duet?

Our own Delta Goodrem may sing with one of her biggest idols when Canadian diva Celine Dion arrives in Sydney next year.

Delta has been a long-time fan of Celine’s work, and it seems the admiration is mutual. Celine recorded Delta’s song “Eyes on Me” for her comeback album, Taking Chances.

Celine will tour Australia through March and April, and rumours are already buzzing that the pair will treat Aussie audiences to a diva duet.

“It’s early days but the opportunity is definitely there – Australia is one of Celine’s best selling territories so it would make sense,” a Sony BMG spokeswoman told The Daily Telegraph.

“If their schedules allow for it we’ll make every effort to connect with Celine – Delta would be beside herself,” added Delta’s management.

Veronicas Hook Number One Spot

Aussie poppettes The Veronicas have earned their first number one single this week. Their catchy electronic track “Hook Me Up” climbed three places to take out the top spot on the ARIA charts.

But they couldn’t topple country rock veterans The Eagles, who remain at the top of the album charts with their latest effort, Long Road Out of Eden. The Veronicas’ new album, also called Hook Me Up, is sitting pretty at number two.

It was another strong week for local lass Delta Goodrem whose single “In This Life” is currently sitting at number five on the singles charts. Her new album Delta is at number three.

David Campbell is back doing what he does best with The Swing Sessions 2. The classic covers album debuted at number eight on the album charts, just ahead of fellow Aussies Sneaky Sound System and The John Butler Trio.

Delta’s Lively New Hit

Delta Goodrem has proved she’s the comeback queen. Her new single “In This Life” has debuted at number one on the ARIA singles charts. This is Delta’s eighth Australian number one, but she hasn’t had a hit since “Almost Here” in 2005.

She joins Ricki-Lee whose dance hit “Can’t Touch It” is sitting at number 10 after seven weeks.

The album charts saw another impressive Australian debut. Shannon Noll’s latest album, Turn It Up, has landed at number three. The only other Aussies in the album charts are The Waifs. Their newie, Sun Dirt Water, slipped from number three to number eight this week.

Delta’s Ready for a Comeback

Australians haven’t heard a lot about Delta Goodrem since she headed to Britain to live with Irish beau, Bryan McFadden. But that’s all set to change, with news the one-time media darling will release a new album later this year.

Sony BMG insiders told the Sydney Morning Herald they’re thrilled with Delta’s new upbeat songs. This bodes well for Delta, whose dark second album, Mistaken Identity, fell flat with the public.

But let’s face it: Delta has a lot more to smile about these days. She’s very much in love and free from the cancer that plagued her shortly after her second album release.

Her friends report that Delta has been inspired by her new relationship, and is ready to wow fans back home. No doubt they’re ready to have her back too!
