In the same week that Somebody That I Used To Know finally reaches #1 on the TMN Hot 100, it falls to #2 on the ARIA Singles chart. Gotye and Kimbra had a good run in terms of sales, still sitting at a comfortable four-times Platinum.
This week it is Kelly Clarkson's Mr. Know It All that has taken the top spot, moving up from #12 last week.
This #1 single is a big deal for Clarkson. Believe it or not, Kelly Clarkson has never hit the top of the single sales chart here in Australia before. The closest she has come previously is #3 with both Since U Been Gone and Miss Independent in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Who would have thought the NRL Grand Final would be the thing to help her get up there?
It doesn't stop there! Clarkson's jump to #1 is also the largest we have seen in a long time. The last single to achieve a larger jump to #1 was Elton John’s 1997 track, Candle In The Wind ‘97/ Something About The Way You Look Tonight which made the climb from #41 to the top in a week.
