Commentary: Again, not much movement happening on this week's Singles Chart. The Veronicas score the highest debut of the week with "This Love" at #14. Delta only drops a couple of spots to #28 (I was worried it would be alot worse), while Brian goes up two spots to #18 (lets hope the album gets a Top 20 debut next week). Leona's #32 debut with "Better In Time" is based on downloads only. The CD single is out this week so next week's chart will represent a combination of both digital and physical sales, which is sure to increase its position on the chart quite rapidly. The same case for Madonna and Justin who remain at #3 in their second week, based solely on downloads. When combined with physical sales next week, I have no doubt it will be #1 (becoming Madge's 12th Australian #1).

Commentary: Seven new entries this week, none of which have much interest to me. Hmmm...really not much to comment on this week. Pretty dull chart. Next week will see new entries from Mariah with "E=MC2" and Brian McFadden with "Set In Stone".
