Aussie Sweep: July 31, 2013...

I'm ready to head Down Under to check out the singles making their way on to the official music sales chart in Australia this week, as Avicii holds on to #1 for a fourth week with "Wake Me Up!"...

The highest debut at #22 is Australian Idol runner-up from 2006 Jessica Mauboy from the Northern Territories city of Darwin, with "To The End Of The Earth". Since her TV fame, she has hit the top-10 five times, going to #1 with "Burn" in 2008...

American brotherly rock group Kings Of Leon with "Supersoaker" at #43. Like Mauboy, they also topped the Aussie chart in 2008 with "Sex On Fire"...

Another singing competition alum, this time boy-band the Collective from the X Factor Australia from 2012, were put together from soloists on the show. They went to #6 last year with their first post-show single "Surrender". They return at #47 with "Another Life"...

British rapper Tinie Tempah is back at #61 with the first single from his upcoming sophomore album, "Trampoline" featuring American rap king 2 Chainz. His debut set spun off three top-40 hits in Australia, with "Miami to Ibiza" the highest at #31...

Robin Thicke's follow-up to his #1 worldwide (including here) hit "Blurred Lines" is "Give It 2 U", and the single comes in at #68....

French DJ/producer genius David Guetta enters at #76 with "Ain't A Party" featuring Harrison...

American indie-pop duo Capital Cities claim yet another country as their sleeper hit "Safe & Sound" from almost a couple years ago arrives on the top-100 at #78...

British modern rock act Bastille went to #4 with their first big hit "Pompeii", and now the debut at #85 with "Laura Palmer". Children of the 90s will "get" the two Twin Peaks references here (the title and the mask)...

 Las Vegas modern rockers Imagine Dragons enter at #88 with "On Top Of The World". They reached #6 earlier this year with "Radioactive"...

As Selena Gomez's first "solo" hit "Come And Get It" finally makes the top-half of the singles chart here, her second single "Slow Down" also debuts at #93...

London "grime" rapper Dizzee Rascal's last album Tongue N Cheek scored him four top-40 hits in Australia, and now he comes in at #96 with a track form his upcoming The Fifth set, "I Don't Need A Reason"...

The final debut of the week at #100 is newcomer Dustin Tebbutt, who was born in Sweden but now lives in Australia, with "The Breach", my "Aussie Pick of the Week"...


That's it for tonight..I'll return tomorrow with another Song of the Day, 7 of the 70s, and 8 from the 80s. G'nite!
