“I can’t even begin to explain how awesome it feels to have Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself go to Number 1!" Jess told us.
"The past few months have been one long, emotional journey so to come back to so much love and support is insanely amazing. I just want to say a massive THANK YOU. This is the best feeling ever!"

Following her sad passing earlier this month, Cilla Black’s The Very Best Of has topped this week’s Official Albums Chart.
The Very Best Of first re-entered the Top 40 two weeks ago as fans began to pay tribute to showbiz legend who passed away on August 1; and following the star’s funeral yesterday, has climbed a further seven places this week to land the top spot. The accolade marks both a new peak for The Very Best Of, as well as Cilla’s first ever Official Albums Chart Number 1.
“This Number 1 is a reflection of the special place Cilla Black occupied in the hearts of the British public and a fitting tribute to an icon who shaped popular music and entertainment," Dan Chalmers, President, Rhino, East West & ADA, UK told OfficialCharts.com, "Cilla had an extraordinary and unforgettable voice and her timeless music will inspire fans and musicians for generations to come.”


The Very Best Of was first released in 1983, before being expanded and re-released in 2013 to include fan favourites and dance remixes of Cilla classics.
The compilation includes Official Singles Chart Number 1s Anyone Who Had A Heart (the biggest selling single of the ‘60s by a female artist) and You’re My World, as well as Top 10 hits You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’, Step Inside Love and Love’s Just A Broken Heart and dance remixes of Imagine and Faded Images.
Cilla boasts an impressive Official Chart history, with a total of six Top 40 albums, and 11 Top 10 singles - the second highest number for any British Female, only trailing Shirley Bassey and Petula Clark, who both have 12.

Australian singles chart overview 22nd Aug

Delta Goodrem spreads her “Wings” and nests atop of the ARIA Singles chart for a second week, plus the track picks up a Gold sales certification too.

“Wings” now becomes Delta’s longest run at the top since October 2004’s “Out of the Blue” spent three weeks at No.1 (which is also the single with the longest run at No.1 for her), whilst “Wings” is now tied with her tracks “Lost Without You” (March 2003) and “Innocent Eyes” (June 2003) which also notched up two weeks apiece at No.1.
After three weeks at No.7, Calvin Harris and Disciples leap up five places to land at a new peak of No.2, becoming his third song to reach this high, as so far none of his tracks have reached the top here (yet). This song now ties with “Sweet Nothing” with Florence Welch (peaked upon debut, late October 2012 for two weeks) and “We Found Love” with Rihanna (peaked mid-October 2011 for five weeks), so with his previous #2’s spending multiple weeks there, could this track do the same.
The Weeknd is at No.3 for another week with “Can’t Feel My Face”, which is newly certified Platinum in sales, whilst also holding this week at No.4 is former No.1 “Are You With Me” by Lost Frequencies, and having spent the past two weeks at No.2, Adam Lambert drops back three places to No.5 this week with “Ghost Town”, whilst also earning a Platinum plaque are Galantis with “Peanut Butter Jelly”, which is down one spot this week to No.6.
Nico & Vinz land their second Top 10 single in Australia this week as their new track “That’s How You Know” featuring Kid Ink and Bebe Rexha jumps up nine places to land at No.7, with their first entry to the ten being “Am I Wrong” (HP-2x3, peaked June 2014), whilst this new entry to the Top 10 also becomes the second for Kid Ink and now the third for Bebe Rexha. Meghan Trainor and John Legend are back down two places to No.8 with their former No.1 duet “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” and holding at No.9 again this week are Pia Mia with Chris Brown and Tyga on their collaboration “Do it Again”. Climbing two places to make his first chart entry in Australia now become his first Top 10 hit is Aston Merrygold with “Get Stupid”.
UP: Vance Joy is back up a couple of places to No.15 with “Fire and the Flood” (HP-14) and after Jessie J and her team sang “Flashlight” together on The Voice last Sunday night, plus the recent DVD and Blu-Ray release of ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ which features the track, this all helps it to jump back up nine spots to No.16. The new Taylor Swift single “Wildest Dreams” leaps up twenty-five places to land at No.18 this week giving her “1989” album five Top 20 hits now and also climbing into the twenty this week is Sam Feldt with his version of “Show Me Love” at No.20. R. City and Adam Levine leap up thirteen places to land at No.22 with “Locked Away” and Hardwell with Jason DeRulo are up seventeen places to No.27 with “Follow Me”, and returning to the fifty at No.49 is former No.2 track “Wasn’t Expecting That” by Jamie Lawson.
DOWN: Three weeks ago One Direction debuted at the top of the ARIA Singles chart with “Drag Me Down” (HP-1, WI10-2), which this week is down three places to No.11 and also down two to No.12 is “Good for You” (HP-10x2, WI10-2) by Selena Gomez and A$AP Rocky. “Shut Up and Dance” for Walk the Moon is down a couple of spots to No.13 and now 3xPlatinum in sales and also picking a Plat-cert is Silento with “Watch Me”, down one spot to No.14. Leaving the Top 20 this week are “Shine” for Years & Years, down four to No.23 and dropping six to No.24 is Little Mix with “Black Magic”, whilst also falling six are Travie McCoy and Sia with “Golden” to No.28. “Bad Blood” for Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar falls nine spots to No.39 and down eight to No.41 is The Weeknd with “The Hills” whilst falling down ten to No.50 is Conrad Sewell with his former No.1 “Start Again”.
The first of two new entries within the Top 50 this week is the second single from the forthcoming second album for local rock/pop lads 5 Seconds of Summer, the new track coming in at No.26 is entitled “Fly Away”, which also entered at No.44 in the UK singles chart this week (today) and follows the recent Top 10 single “She’s Kinda Hot” (HP-6, TW-45), with the new album “Sounds Good Feels Good” due on October 23rd, plus this new entry also becomes the bands eighth Top 30 single in Australia. Back in 2012 The Rubens made it to No.56 with their first and only chart entry “My Gun”, and now this week their new single “Hoops” becomes their first Top 50 entry coming in at No.48 this week, taken from the album of the same name which debuted at No.2 last week.

Australian albums chart overview 22nd Aug

Welsh heavy metal act Bullet for My Valentine see their fifth studio album “Venom” become their first No.1 on the ARIA Albums chart this week.
“Venom” becomes the 589th No.1 album for ARIA (1983 to 2015), plus the 385thalbum to debut at No.1 plus Bullet for My Valentine are the first Welsh act to hit No.1 in Australia, beating Shirley Bassey (two No.2 albums in the 1965) Tom Jones (two #2 albums in 1969 and a No.3 album with John Farnham in 2005) and Bonnie Tyler also made it to No.3 in 1983 with her “Faster Than the Speed of Night” album, so now we have our first Welsh act at the top. This new entry also becomes the fourth Top 5 album for the group who first charted here with their second album “Scream. Aim. Fire” (HP-4, Feb 2008) followed by “Fever” (LP#3, HP-5, May 2010) and their last was “Temper Temper” (LP#4, HP-4, Feb 2013).
Brisbane alt-rock band Dead Letter Circus see their third album “Aesthesis” debut at No.2 this week, becoming the bands third successive album to debut and peak at No.2, as their first set “This is the Warning” (May 2010) came in at No.2 and their second album “The Catalyst Fire” (Aug 2013) achieved the same entry and peak, now they do it for the third time (similar to Gurrumul landing three #3 albums recently).
It’s all new entries within the top three this week, coming in at No.3 is the compilation “Best of The Soul Years” for Jimmy Barnes, which features tracks from his previous three ‘soul’ albums “Soul Deep” (HP-1x3, Nov 1991), “Soul Deeper” (HP-3, Nov 2000) and “The Rhythm and The Blues” (HP-1x2, Sept 2009). Last weeks No.1 debut for Dr. Dre “Compton” is down three places to No.4 and the fourth and final Top 5/10 debut this week is at No.5, The Waifs with their seventh studio album entitled “Beautiful You”. This becomes the bands fourth Top 5 album and sixth overall to enter (four studio and two live albums), with their previous T10 entries being “Up All Night” (LP#4, HP-3, Jan. 2003), “Sun Dirt Water” (LP#5, HP-2, Sept 2007) and their last entry was “Temptation” (LP#6, HP-3, March 2011).
Down a place each are “1989” for Taylor Swift and “x” for Ed Sheeran to No.6 and No.7 respectively, whilst falling five to No.8 is Meghan Trainor with “Title”, with “Hoops” for The Rubens tumbling seven places to No.9 this week after having debuted at No.2 last week. The only new certified album this week is James Bay with “Chaos and the Calm” (now Gold) which is down two places to No.10 this week.
UP: Kendrick Lamar is back up seven spots to No.22 with his former No.1 album “To Pimp a Butterfly” and the previously released self-titled album for Avril Lavigne (HP-7, Nov 2013) is back into the Top 100 at No.23 this week. Paul Simon is up twelve places to a new peak of No.39 with his compilation “The Ultimate Collection” and Lee Kernaghan climbs again this week with “Spirit of the ANZACS” to No.46.

American DJ and remixer Dillon Francis sees his new EP “This Mixtape is Fire” debut at No.25 this week, becoming his second chart entry here, as his debut album “Money Sucks, Friends Rule” made it to No.33 in November 2014, meaning this new entry is his highest charting so far and it features his collaboration with Kygo entitled “Coming Over”.

Australian singles chart 29th Aug


Calvin Harris lands his first No.1 on the ARIA Singles chart this week as his latest track “How Deep is Your Love” featuring Disciples is up one place to take over the chart summit.

“How Deep is Your Love” becomes the 476th No.1 single for ARIA (1983 to 2015), plus the second this year for the Columbia label after “Bills” by LunchMoney Lewis hit the top back in March. This new number one becomes Calvin’s first chart-topping single in Australia, as he previously peaked at No.2 with two tracks, “We Found Love” with Rihanna which spent five weeks at two during October and November of 2011 and the following year in October, 2012 he debuted and peaked at No.2 for two weeks with “Sweet Nothing” featuring Florence Welch as guest vocalist. The other thing that Calvin achieves is to become the first Scottish act to reach the top of the Australian charts this century. The last Scottish artists to make it to No.1 here were The Proclaimers in February of 1989 with “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”. So Calvin becomes the eight artist from Scotland to make it to No.1 here, and the third Solo Male artist from former land of The Pitts, plus all previous Scottish acts to hit No.1 here have only done-so the one time.
Jumping up five places to a new peak of No.2 are Nico & Vinz with “That’s How You Know”, which now becomes their second song to reach No.2, as last years “Am I Wrong” spent three weeks during June at that peak too. The Weeknd holds at No.3 for a fourth week with “Can’t Feel My Face”, whilst overall the song has spent five weeks at this position and three weeks at No.2, whilst also holding steady is Lost Frequencies with “Are You With Me”, at No.4 a fourth week also.
The first chart entry for R. City now becomes the duos first Top 10 hit as “Locked Away” leaps up seventeen places to No.5, and as the song is sung by Adam Levine from Maroon 5, the song now beats the peak of his last Top 10 entry, as “Sugar” peaked at No.6 for three weeks back in March. Also jumping into the Top 10 is Taylor Swift with “Wildest Dreams” which is up twelve spots to a new peak of No.6, becoming her fifth consecutive Top 10 hit from her current album “1989”, which is also sitting at No.6, and no other previous Taylor albums has amassed this many Top 10 singles, overall it becomes her twelfth single to make it into the ten within Australia. Galantis drop back one place to No.7 with “Peanut Butter Jelly”, and the third of four new entries to the Top 10 sees Vance Joy up seven places to No.7 with “Fire & the Flood” which benefits from the song being sung on ‘The Voice: Semi Final’ last Sunday night and now it becomes the acts second Top 10 hit and the song also picks up a Gold sales certification.
Three weeks ago One Direction dropped from 1 to 8 with “Drag Me Down”, but this week we see Delta Goodrem fall harder from the No.1 nest down to No.9 with “Wings” which was atop the charts for the previous two weeks and the tumble comes the week of ‘The Voice: Grand Final’ so it could get another boost of wind from this weekends show to keep it soaring within the ten. Debuting at No.10 is Nelly and Jeremih with “The Fix” which samples the 1983 single “Sexual Healing” (HP-4, peaked late March) by Marvin Gaye which was his first and last Top 10 single in Australia. Nelly was last within the Top 10 back in 2013 with “Hey Porsche” (HP-5, peaked April 2013) and this new entry now becomes his eleventh Top 10 hit in Australia, plus it’s the first for Jeremih who had previously gone as high as No.12 on the Natalie La Rose track “Somebody” back in early May.
UP: All of the Top 20 are songs dropping down this week expect for one, “Show Me Love” for Sam Feldt, which rises a place to a new peak of No.19. Hardwell and Jason DeRulo climb up to a new peak of No.26 with “Follow Me” and after spending the past three weeks in the 31-40 to region, “Omen” for Disclosure and Sam Smith is up six places to a new peak of No.29, and with the DVD and Blu-Ray release of ‘Furious 7’, the song “See You Again” for Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth is back up four to No.39, whilst returning to the Top 50 after falling out last week is Meg Mac with “Never Be” at No.50.
DOWN: Adam Lambert is down six places to No.11 with his “Ghost Town” (HP-2x2, WI10-3), Aston Merrygold is down two to No.12 with “Get Stupid” (HP-10, WI10-1), Pia Mia with Chris Brown and Tyga drop five to No.14 with “Do it Again” (HP-5, WI10-5) and former No.1 “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” (HP-1x4, WI10-10) for Meghan Trainor and John Legend falls seven to No.15 after ten weeks within the Top 10 and the song is newly certified 2xPlatinum in sales. Selena Gomez and A$AP Rocky are down four to No.16 and Fifth Harmony drop five places to No.22 with “Worth it”, whilst Robin Schulz also leaves the Top 20, dropping four to No.23 with “Headlights”. The new UK No.1 single this week is “Fight Song” for Rachel Platten, which here is down five to No.35 and falling seven places to No.44 is “Let it Go” by James Bay and down six to No.46 is Jason DeRulo with “Want to Want Me”.
Felix Jaehn teams up with Jasmine Thompson and together they blast into the charts and land at No.21 with their rendition of the 1983 single for Chaka Khan, “Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better)”, with the song now having its third Top 50 placing during its life (the other two were covers in 1994). Last weeks UK No.1 single for Jess Glynne entitled “Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself” leaps into the fifty at No.37 here and landing her eleventh Top 50 chart entry is Jessie J with a song she performed on ‘The Voice: Semi Final’ show last Sunday night entitled “Ain't Been Done” and is taken from her current album “Sweet Talker” which bullets back up the albums chart at No.22 this week. The duet between Jarryd James and Julia Stone entitled “Regardless” is the final Top 50 entry this week, new at No.48.

UK singles chart 12th Sept:

Congratulations to Sigala, who scores his first chart-topper this week with Easy Love. The track - which samples Jackson 5’s 1970 Top 10 hit ABC - has racked up a combined chart sales figure of over 82,000 this week, rocketing 71 places to secure the Number 1 position following its full sales release.

Sigala told OfficialCharts.com: “This is so amazing. I had no idea this would ever be a Number 1 record. I wrote this song in my bedroom on a Sunday evening after a couple of beers. I had no idea it would go to the top of the charts!”
