7. This week's top 50:

The big news of course last week was the Michael Jackson invasion
of music charts following his death. Last week, 18 of the top 50
singles were previously-released Michael Jackson songs re-entering
the chart, with 4 of those landing straight into the top 10.

So what happened to those 18 songs this week? Three of those
Michael had performed as part of Jackson 5 and The Jacksons, and
all those 3 now drop out of the top 50 this week, plus Michael's
solo hit "Remember The Time". So that leaves 14 out of the 18
hits from last week still in this week's top 50. As expected,
things have begun to drop back with single sales. From 4 top 10
hits last week, Michael is down to 3 this week, and there is only
one song that enjoys a large upward movement, that being "They
Don't Care About Us" which bullets from number 45 to 18, just 2
places short of its original number 16 peak back in May 1996.

Below is a list showing what happened to Michael's re-entering
singles from last week which are still in this week's top 50.

---------------------------------------------
LW TW MOVE TITLE
---------------------------------------------
3 5 -2 THRILLER
6 6 0 BLACK OR WHITE
7 10 -3 BILLIE JEAN
8 15 -7 MAN IN THE MIRROR
13 22 -9 THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL
14 38 -24 BEN
16 20 -4 SMOOTH CRIMINAL
17 24 -7 BEAT IT
21 34 -13 DON'T STOP 'TIL YOU GET ENOUGH
22 25 -3 YOU ARE NOT ALONE
27 37 -10 BAD
30 26 +4 HEAL THE WORLD
36 45 -9 ROCK WITH YOU
45 18 +27 THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US
---------------------------------------------

A couple more of Michael's hits re-enter the top 50 this week.
At number 42 there is "Will You Be There" - incredibly the 8th
single to be released from his 9-times platinum "Dangerous"
album, also appearing on the soundtrack to the movie "Free Willy".
When originally released in 1993, "Will You Be There" enjoyed
top 10 success in the UK and US, but managed to peak only at
number 58 here in Australia. Upon re-entry into this week's
chart, "Will You Be There" achieves a brand new peak of number
42 this week. Also re-entering for Michael Jackson is
"You Rock My World" at number 50. It peaked at number 4 when
released back in 2001 and was the first track from Michael's
"Invincible" album which topped the charts and sold double
platinum here in Australia.

On the albums chart, things are a little different, with Michael
making overall headway rather than overall decline as per the
singles chart. The highest 3 selling albums from last week
all belong to Michael and they retain those same three positions
this week. But there's now some big movers including "Bad"
bulleting up from number 28 to 13, "Dangerous" from 24 to 14
and "History" from number 48 to 17. This now gives Michael
8 of Australia's top 20 selling albums - shattering the record
he set last week when he beat Pink by having 5 albums in the
top 20.

Album sales of Michael's material is also going gangbuster in
America where it has been reported that sales of his albums
since his death have already exceeded the 2.3 million mark,
made up of 1.8 million CD albums and half a million in digital
downloads.

So now back to other chart action this week, and the Black
Eyed Peas spend a third week at number one with "I Gotta
Feeling" while Lady GaGa is stuck for a second week at number
2 with "Paparazzi". Linkin Park climb to number 3 with
"New Divide", and thanks to Lily Allen's "Not Fair" and
Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror" droppig out of the
top 10, we welcome back re-entries by Miley Cyrus and
Kelly Rowland.

There are three new singles in the top 50 this week, managing
to make headway against the huge tide of Jackson material
in the chart.

14. NEED ME TO STAY - Tommy Trash featuring Mr Wilson
CD single: (not released yet)
Digital track: #12
Music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0l9PAyIn20
Song lyrics: www.tinyurl.com/tommytrash
Artist website: www.myspace.com/tommytrashspace

This week's highest new entry comes from Australian DJ and
producer Thomas Olsen who goes by the name of Tommy Trash.
He reached number 5 on the Australian club chart in 2007
with his dance track "Slide". Since then, he has produced
and remixed recordings for artists including Armand Van Helden,
Delta Goodrem, The Veronicas and Vanessa Amarossi. Tommy's
new single is titled "Need Me To Stay" and features a
controversial music video that shows two women enjoying
an erotic shower together and then being electrocuted by a
hairdryer dropped on the wet floor which causes them to
continue dancing.

28. FUNHOUSE - Pink
CD single: (not released yet)
Digital track: #21
Music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaQd-l3QcFs
Song lyrics: www.tinyurl.com/pink-funhouse-lyrics
Artist website: www.pinkspage.com

Pink's Funhouse tour is still going strong across Australia
and so are her hits. Her "Funhouse" album is now an 8-times
platinum seller, and this week sees her 5th single from
that album enter the chart. The title track "Funhouse"
debuts at number 28, with a bit of way to go if it's to get
close to the success of her last hit "Bad Influence" which
recently peaked at number 6.

40. HOEDOWN THROWDOWN - Miley Cyrus
CD single: (not released yet)
Digital track: #30
Music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlnbmZK7GxU
Song lyrics: www.tinyurl.com/miley-cyrus-hoe
Artist website: www.mileycyrus.com

Third and final new entry of the week belongs to 16 year-old
Miley Cyrus, the star of Disney Channel's series Hannah
Montana. A musical film adaptation of that series, titled
"Hannah Montana: The Movie" is showing at cinemas, and the
soundtrack album is currently in the top 10. From the album
came Miley's ballad "The Climb" which recently peaked at
number 5, and the latest single from the album is "Hoedown
Throwdown" which debuts at number 40 this week.
