LMFAO Add Another Week
Redfoo and SkyBlu (aka LMFAO) go where no Motown hit has ever been in New Zealand. The son and nephew of Tamla Motown founder Berry Gordy don’t record for the label but as LMFAO they rule the New Zealand Singles Chart for an 11th straight week.
Party Rock Anthem draws level with Smashproof's Brother as the second-longest running chart-toppers of the 21st Century. See the all-time list below.
It also gives LMFAO collaborators on the cut the record as well, so honours go to Lauren Bennett and GoonRock too.
The LMFAO album Sorry For Party Rocking is out Monday.
New Zealand’s longest running #1s:
1. Rivers Of Babylon / Brown Girl In The Ring Boney M (14 weeks 1978),
2. Wasted Days And Wasted Nights Freddie Fender (12 weeks 1975),
3. Stand Up / Not Many Scribe (12 weeks 2003),
4. Brother Smashproof featuring Gin (11 weeks 2009),
5. Can’t Help Falling In Love UB40 (11 weeks 1992),
6. I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston (11 weeks 1991-2),
7. Party Rock Anthem LMFAO (11 weeks 2011).

The New Singles
#33 Pitbull - Pause
Pause arrives at #33 and is the third hit culled from Pitbull’s Planet Pit (out Monday), giving the Puerto Rican / American an even dozen hits in New Zealand. He is yet to ink an album here, however.

#35 Bad Meets Evil - Fast Lane
Eminem and Royce da 5’9” work together for the first time in 11 years and score their debut hit as a duo. Fast Lane, new at #35, is the lead track from Hell: The Sequel which dropped Monday. Both rappers hail from Detroit and it gives Royce his first chart action here.

#37 Chris Brown - She Ain't You
Chris Brown comes of age, clocking a 21st hit in his five-year-and-five-month chart career here. She Ain't You arrives at #37 and is the fourth to chart from his #7 F.A.M.E release.

#40 Gavin DeGraw - Not Over You
Thirty-four-year-old New Yorker Gavin DeGraw’s sole hit to date here came six years back, when I Don't Want To Be made #30 in a nine-week chart run. Now he returns for a second hit, Not Over You new at #40.

The New Albums
#7 Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See
2009’s #3 Humbug is the Arctic Monkey’s high tide mark on the New Zealand Album Chart to date, yet to be bettered by their fourth long player Suck It And See which arrives this week at #7. All four albums have peaked Top10.

#16 Iron Maiden - From Fear To Eternity: The Best Of Iron Maiden
East London Metal merchants Iron Maiden have been together 36 years and scored their sole New Zealand #1 album last year with The Final Frontier. This week their second comp, a companion to 2008's #24 Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of 1980-1989, arrives at #16. This time it deals with 1990-2010, bringing the Maiden completely up to date.

#30 Kitty, Daisy And Lewis - Smoking In Heaven
London sibling trio Kitty, Daisy And Lewis toured here last year. The low-fi threesome gains their first New Zealand Albums Chart entry at #30 with Smoking In Heaven.

#35 Madeleine Peyroux - Standing On The Rooftop
Thirty-seven-year-old Athens, Georgia native Madeleine Peyroux now has a trio of chart sets here, as Standing On The Rooftop follows 2006's #25 Half The Perfect World and 2009's #28 Bare Bones into the Top40.

#38 Tedeschi Trucks Band - Revelator
The 11-piece ensemble led by, and named after, husband and wife Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi make it onto our charts straight out of the box with their Revelator debut, new at #38.
