Aussie Sweep: October 17, 2012...

Hey gang, it's time to check out the latest song making their way on to the official sales chart in Australia this week. PSY commands the #1 position for a third week with "Gangnam Style"...

The top debut this week is Adele who rockets in at #5 with her theme to the latest James Bond movie, Skyfall. I caught the 60 Minutes interview with Daniel Craig and the producers and I'm so psyched to see this in the theaters (there are few movies I say that for these days). Adele has one previous #1 hit here, "Someone Like You"...
