Commentary:
As predicted, Madonna and Justin take top spot this week now that their digital and physical sales are finally combined. This is Madge's 12th #1 in Australia. Brian's "Like Only A Woman Can" goes up 5 places to #13, its highest peak so far, with great news for the album debut (see below). Delta on the other hand drops 4 spots with "You Will Only Break My Heart". Leona's "Better In Time" bullets to #21, expect it to be in (or close to) the Top 10 next week after her short promo visit which includes a performance on the finale of "So You Think You Can Dance". And lastly, the Rogue Traders debut at a dissapointing #30 with "What You're On". Lets hope it rises in the weeks ahead. Vanessa Amorosi releases the "Perfect" CD single this week so it will be interesting to see how physical sales contribute to her chart placing. Also released this week on CD are Kylie's "In My Arms" and Jesse's "Leavin'".

Commentary:
Country star Kasey Chambers keeps Mimi off top spot, scoring her fourth #1 album with "Rattlin' Bones" (a collaboration album with her hubby Shane Nicholson). So Mimi will have to settle for second best, although "E=MC2" has already beaten the peak of "The Emancipation Of Mimi" which reached #6 back in 2005. Brian McFadden debuts at a very impressive #5 - an amazing result considering his debut solo record "Irish Son" failed to crack the Top 50 here (despite containing a #1 with "Almost Here"). Brian has been promoting the hell out of this album during the past few weeks so it's good to see it all pay off. Hopefully it'll stick around for a while. Next week will see "Hard Candy" debut - will Madonna score her 9th Australian #1 album? Hmmmm....duh!
