Tui Tales
This week’s Albums Chart highest new entry already looks set to be one of the contenders for a 2007 Tui. Straight in at #8, OE:Brazil is an album sponsored by liquor brand Bacardi which saw Kiwi musos including Hollie Smith, Barnaby Weir, Alda Rezende, Maaka Phat, P Digsss, and Recloose travel to Sao Paulo and collaborate with some of Brazil’s finest musicians. The result is the highly unique album, combining Latin flavours and Aotearoa influences.
It’s one of three local sets independently distributed in this week’s Top 20, with last Wednesday’s New Zealand Music Awards generating fresh sales for some of the winners. Fat Freddy’s Drop leads the field as Based On A True Story rebounds nine places to #20, and goes seven times platinum, after winning the Highest Selling New Zealand Album and People’s Choice. It also becomes the longest charting album ever by a local group at 77 weeks.
Album Of The Year, Birds, by Best Female Vocalist and Best Producer Bic Runga, misses the main chart by a whisker and should re-enter the main list next week. Other artists benefiting from Tui exposure with renewed sales this week were Don McGlashan, Pluto and Elemeno P.

New Rock Rules
New rock rules as Unleashed 2006 powers straight to the top of the Compilations Chart, selling more than double its nearest rival #2. It’s the latest in the Unleashed franchise and contains nine Rock Radio Airplay Top 5 hits.

The New Singles
Justin Timberlake keeps his penthouse position for a second week and 10th in total. Boyband aren’t disappearing quite as quickly as some predicted, holding onto the runner-up spot for a second week after debuting on top. Being a guest Tui presenter as part of an NZ promo tour helps English newcomer James Morrison’s You Give Me Something into the Top 10 at #8.

#12 Jibbs - Chain Hang Low
What’s in a name? Born Donald Crumpett, then going by the moniker Jovan ‘The Black Donald Trump’ Kampbell, he now uses the stage name Jibbs. And he’s the owner of the highest new entry this week. A former US #7, Hang Down Low is new here at #12. The St Louis native turns 16 on November 13 and has a self-titled debut album out in the next few weeks.

#16 Panic! At The Disco - But It’s Better If You Do
2006 is a good year for Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, Jon Walker and Spencer Smith who are Las Vegas band Panic! At The Disco. They played a sold-out New Zealand gig last month and follow their #5 debut hit I Write Sins, Not Tragedies (#20 this week and winner of the 2006 MTV Video Of The Year Award) with But It’s Better If You Do. It’s the second hit lifted from their #7 gold-certified debut set A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out (#17 this week).

#37 My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade
Monday saw the release of The Black Parade, the new album from New Jersey’s My Chemical Romance. The very aptly titled lead / title track lands straight in the Singles chart at #37. It’s in its second week atop of the UK chart and debuts at #20 in Australia this week.

#40 Brooke Fraser - Deciphering Me
Naenae-born and raised Brooke Fraser turns 23 in December, just after the release of her sophomore set Albertine (named after her World Vision sponsored child). The new set is off to a good start as its lead single gains enough airplay to hit #9 on the RadioScope100 and #40 on the Singles Chart on airplay alone. A retail single is due in stores in a couple of weeks which will no doubt drive the song higher. It becomes Brooke’s sixth Top 40 single. Earlier in the year her Crowded House cover Distant Sun, from the Finn tribute set She Will Have Her Way, reached #18 on the RadioScope100 airplay chart.

The New Albums
Like the Singles list, the Top 4 selling albums of the week remain the same as Rod Stewart’s Still The Same: Great Rock Classics Of Our Time leads the pack for a second week (it opens on top in the US this week as well).

#8 Various - OE: Brazil
See story above.

#21 The Ten Tenors - Here’s To The Heroes
Just on five months back, Australian 10 piece The Ten Tenors charted with Tenology: The Best So Far (#21). Now the classical ensemble return with Here’s To The Heroes, recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios with movie soundtrack maestro John Barry.

#29 Sarah Brightman - Diva: The Singles Collection
Englishwoman Sarah Brightman made a very modest start to her New Zealand chart career when Pie Jesu snuck into the Singles Chart in June 1985 (her lone singles hit here). Later in the ‘80s her role in then husband Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom Of The Opera saw her part of the six-week #1, 91-week platinum soundtrack (not to mention the follow-up #4, 38-week Phantom Highlights set). Her solo debut came with 1996’s #42 Surrender. This week Sarah Brightman hits two charts at once with the same set – one audio, one visual. Diva: The Singles Collection slots in audibly at #29, while the companion visual DVD is straight in the DVD list at #4.

#37 Beck - The Information
Thirty-six-year-old Californian Bek David Campbell places his latest set The Information in the Albums Chart at #37. Beck Hansen is the handle he goes by now, and he first charted here in 1994 with the #23 Mellow Gold which yielded the gold-certified #5 Loser.

#40 Various - Step Up Soundtrack
It’s currently on at the movies and the lead single, Get Up by Ciara and Chamillionaire, is #7 on the Singles Chart. Now the Step Up soundtrack is new at #40 on the Albums Chart too. The next single due is the current US Top 10 hit (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me by Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole.
