Aussie Sweep: October 3, 2012...

Hey gang, it's time for this week's trip Down Under to check out the new songs selling in Australia this week and debuting on their official chart. This week K-pop king PSY takes over the #1 spot with "Gangnam Style"...

The top debut this week is by Taylor Swift, who leaps in at #20 with the second single from her upcoming album Red, "Begin Again". The first, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", is still in the top-10 at #6...

The Australian version of The X Factor is in full swing, and the assembled boyband the Collective is clearly a fan favorite, and their version of Jessie J's "Domino" made the chart here last week. They do it again this week as their cover of Kenny Loggins' "Footloose" jumps in all the way up at #41...

British musician Example enters at #54 with "Say Nothing", the first single from his upcoming album The Evolution Of Man. Earlier this year he was in the Aussie top-10 on Calvin Harris' "We'll Be Coming Back"...

Debuting at #57 is Enrique Iglesias with "Finally Found You" with Sammy Adams. Iglesias has topped the Australian charts once in his career, in 2001 with "Hero"...

Another X Factor Australia finalist, Bella Ferraro, comes in at #62 with her acoustic accordion-backed take on One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful"...

 American dance-pop duo Karmin's first single, "Brokenhearted", made the top-10 here, and the followup, "Hello", enters at #72...

Aussie electro-house duo Vandalism had a top-20 hit here in 2006 with "Never Say Never", and now debut at #76 with "Coming Alive" featuring iKid (Ilan Kidron from the group Potbelleez)...

The last debut on the Aussie top-100 is the third X Factor Australia finalist, the five-member What About Tonight, who auditioned as a group as opposed to being put together on the show like the Collective. Their version of the Jonas Brothers' "Year 3000" (which itself is a version of UK band Busted) comes in at #97, even though the boys were eliminated this week...

That does it for this week....thanks for coming by, and check back tomorrow for another "Song of the Day", Candletime, 7 of the 70s, and 8 from the 80s. G'Day!
