Wes Carr’s Single Wins Chart Bronze!
10:46AM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to Australian Idol winner Wes Carr for scoring the #3 position in this week’s ARIA Singles chat. He’s trailing behind Lady Gaga and Kings Of Leon (damn you, Spano, for making that song so popular!) but when you consider how many naysayers have been thinking of the Idol franchise as a creature on life support, it’s really not a bad start to his brand new Sony-BMG sponsored career.
(Wes Carr) hit No. 3 in the ARIA singles charts yesterday with You, behind Lady GaGa’s chart-topper Poker Face and Kings of Leon’s Sex On Fire, which have both been in the upper echelons of the top 50 for more than two months.

So high, in fact, that its imminent release – plus a bunch of reissues – has sent AC/DC into the record books as being the first band to have six albums in the ARIA Top 50 albums chart at any one time. Take that, ABBA!
Leading the chart charge was the 1975 record, TNT, which leapt into the No. 20 spot.

Who will reign supreme over the children with disposable income this week?
