Peter Andre Makes UK Chart Splash

And here I was thinking Peter Andre’s career comeback was destined to fail. But it seems that the Brits are still mad about the impossibly tanned Aussie expat and his perfect six-pack.

His new album Revelation has made an impressive number three debut on the UK charts. That sees our Peter outselling the likes of Jay-Z, Kings of Leon, and all those reissued Beatles albums. Something’s just not quite right about that!

But seriously, good luck to him. With his divorce from Jordan starting to get messy, Mr Andre will probably need all the extra cash he can get!

The Temper Trap Crack UK Charts

Melbourne’s own The Temper Trap has cracked the UK Top 40 with Conditions. The band’s debut long-player sits at number 32 in its first week.

The Temper Trap relocated from Melbourne to London this May to generate some buzz. It looks like that worked. The BBC has also voted the band as one of the Top 15 Sounds of 2009.

The album’s success has been buoyed by the singles “Sweet Disposition, “Fader” and “Science of Fear.”

With such a solid debut, the only way is up for this homegrown success story!
