Aussie Sweep: September 4, 2013...

Hey mates, it's this week's time to head Down Under to check out the songs making the official top-100 sales chart in Australia this week, as Katy Perry holds steady at #1 with "Roar"...

The top entry at #17 marks the return of rapper Eminem, who previews his upcoming Marshall Mathers 2 album with "Berzerk". This country has been one of his most successful market, as he's gone to #1 as a lead artist seven times, from "Stan" in 2000 to "Love The Way You Lie" in 2010...

Country singer and just-announced returning judge to American Idol Keith Urban is back at #50 with a track from his Fuse set, "Shame"...

The X Factor returns to Australia, and a couple of its contestants make the chart this week. First in at #52 is Dami In with her rendition of U2's "One". The original went to #4 here in 1992...

Next up at #55 is Jai Waetford, who must be like twelve, with his X Factor performace of Coldplay's "Fix You". They took this song to #25 in 2005, and are probably horrified of this treatment of this classic...

Speaking of trainwrecks, songwriter Bonnie McKee tries to translate her hitmaking success for Katy Perry into a solo gig as the 29-year-old goes all Carly Rae Jepsen on the totally awful "American Girl" at #59...

The last of the X Factor singles to make the top-100 is Taylor Henderson, who is at #84 with "I Won't Let You Go". The original by songwriter James Morrison went to #13 here in 2011..
