Chart Wrap: Ellie Goulding takes #1
Hot 100
This week sees Hozier’s Take Me To Church move back up to #1 from #2. Taking its place at #2 is Sia’s Elastic Heart, a new peak for the track and is now on par with Chandelier, which peaked at #2 earlier last year. There is still the possibility for movement though as Hozier’s already spent quite some time at the top. If Sia does manage to take #1 with Elastic Heart, it will be the highest track she’s ever had on the Hot 100 as a lead artist, though she has hit the top before as a feature artist on Flo Rida’s Wild Ones, which hit #1 in early 2012. Ellie Goulding’s Love Me Like You Docontinues its streak of success at #8 from #13, and will likely break the Top 5 next week if its success on the other charts is anything to go off of.
Some notable movers outside of the Top 10 includes David Guetta & Emeli Sande’s What I Did For Love,which hits the Top 20 up at #18 from #32;Labrinth’s Jealous, which sees a jump to #40 from #52, which has no doubt been helped along by the recent remix of the track serviced to commercial last week. The most moved track this week comes from Ariana Grande’s One Last Time,which jumps from #60 to #30.
The Top 50 is strewn with new debuts this week with the first new entry coming in at #25 from Sam Smith’s Lay Me Down, followed closely by Ed Sheeran’s Bloodstream at #27. Four more debuts litter the Top 50 with LunchMoney Lewis’ Bills at #42, Pitbull’s Time Of Our Lives at #43, Jessica Mauboy’s The Day Before I Met You at #47 and finally Iggy Azalea’s Trouble at #48.

ARIA Singles
Ellie Goulding powers up the chart to #1 from #4 this week with Love Me Like You Do, the first #1 she’s ever had on the ARIA Charts and only after four weeks. The move pushes Rihanna, Paul McCartney and Kanye West’s FourFiveSeconds down to #2 however, though it did earn a Platinum accreditation on the way down. OMI holds #3 with Cheerleader while Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk featuring Bruno Mars drops to #4, also picking up another Platinum sales figure on the way making for 5x Platinum. Maroon 5 sees a new Top 10 single with Sugar hitting #7 this week up from#13. The Weeknd’s Earned It makes the move to #13 from #29, breaking the Top 15 and positioning for a Top 10 entry come next week’s chart. Two new debuts take place within the Top 20, the first comes from Florence & The Machine’s What Kind Of Man, which enters at #16, followed by Jessie J’s Masterpiece at #18.Sam Smith’s I’m Not The Only One sees a big jump from #40 to #25 while Nick Jonas’ Jealous makes steady progress up to #31 from #49, funnily landing next to Labrinth’s Jealous, which sits at #30 down from #26.
ARIA Albums
The Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack sits at #1 for a second week following its debut at the top spot last week. At #2 is a new debut from Drake with If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, already on par with Nothing Was The Same, which peaked at #2 in September of 2013. The next debut comes at #4 with Imagine Dragons’ Smoke + Mirrors, also matching the peak of their previous album Night Visions. Up at #9 from #14 is George Ezra’s Wanted On Voyage which could be associated with the success of the recent single Listen To The Man. Hitting #13 following a massive jump from #39 is Angus & Julia Stone’s self-titled which is no doubt attributed to the success of their current national tour. Two other debuts take place in the Top 30, the first at #25 from Ne-Yo’s Non-Fiction and at #26 with Travis Collins’ Wired.
