Lily Allen debuts at Number One on ARIA Album Chart
Lily Allen’s new album, “It’s Not Me, It’s You” has raced straight to number one on the ARIA Album Chart this week, eclipsing her debut album “Alright Still” which peaked at #7 back in 2006. At the same time, “The Fear” has earned Lily her first top 10 on the ARIA Singles Chart, moving up from 13 to 8 this week.
| In addition to Lily Allen, there are two further top 40 album debuts this week. Coming in at #3 is The Fray with their sophomore release “The Fray”, the follow up to “How To Save A Life” which hit #1 on the ARIA Album Chart in March 2007, some 9 months after release. Impacting at #21 is Ben Lee’s “The Rebirth Of Venus”, his sixth album since “Breathing Tornadoes” was released in 1998. |

The ARIA Singles Chart sees The Fray notching up 4 weeks at number one with “You Found Me”, as Kelly Clarkson moves up from 7 to 5 with “My Life Would Suck Without You, her fifth top 5 ARIA Chart single since she made her debut back in 2003 with “Miss Independent”. “Everybody’s Free” from Global Deejays featuring Rozalla moves up from 18 to 7, a higher position than the #11 peak of this song when Rozalla first released it over 17 years ago!
