Adele stays at number one for yet another week, and Foster the People finally top the singles chart.
It’s 2011 déjà vu all over again, with Adele hopping back atop the album chart last week and staying there this week too.
Added to that, there were exactly zero new entries on the chart
today, but it makes sense since new releases were very thin on the
ground last week.
There was a bit of movement though. 360’s Falling & Flying is up to 11 from 22, Skrillex’s ‘Bangarang’ EP shot up from 44 to 14, the Alvin & The Chipmunks Chipwrecked soundtrack comes up to 23 from 42, and Grouplove’s visit put their Never Trust A Happy Song back in the chart at 30.
The big story, and relief, is that Foster The People have finally hit number one on the singles chart with ‘Pumped Up Kicks’, over a year since the song was officially released. Their Torches album also got a bump to number five, through ad placement and a BDO visit.
Also on the singles chart, Flo Rida’s ‘Wild Ones’ with Sia is in at number two from 24, and Timomatic’s ‘Set It Off’ climbs to four from 12.
Nothing particularly high-profile was released on Friday so we can
assume that Adele will hold number one next week as well, unless the
‘Pumped Up Kicks’ juggernaut can get Torches up there after almost nine months in the chart.

Adele Returns To The Top Of The ARIA Chart
Adele returns to number one in 2012, in this week’s uninspiring (apart from Foster The People) ARIA chart.
The queen of the chart in 2011 has reclaimed her throne in 2012, 21 returning to number one this week. It’s a flashback all around (not least due to the dearth of new releases): LMFAO at number two, Reece Mastin at three, Coldplay at four and Bruno Mars at five.
Triplej’s Like a Version, Gotye’s Making Mirrors and the Black Keys shoot back up to the next three spots, with One Direction and Florence + The Machine rounding out the top ten.
The only new entries are the Chipwrecked soundtrack at 42 and Skrillex’s Bangarang EP at 44.
Unsurprisingly, Buble’s Christmas album plummeted from number one last week to number 29, but that still means people were buying it in the week after Christmas.
LMFAO’s ‘Sexy And I Know It’ retains the top spot on the Singles Chart.
But the big story is Foster The People’s incessant ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ single is finally all the way up at number two, 15 months since its initial release.
Can they make it to number one? We’ll have to wait until next week.
