Aussie Sweep: May 15, 2013...

Hey mates, it's time again after a two-week break to take another trip Down Under to check out the official sales charts with the latest songs to reach the Australian top-100 singles list, as Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" takes over the #1 spot...

As America's version of The Voice is under way, the Australian show is huge, with it one of the top rated shows in that country every night. There are a truckload of performances from the show that reach the chart, and that includes the top debut, Harrison Craig's version of Michael Buble's "Home", as he was sent to the next round "saved" by the public, and the song leaps in at #13...
