Busta and Mariah riding high Downunder
"I Know What You Want" hangs on for a third week at No.3 on the Australian Recording Industry Association singles chart. It also remains at No.1 on the Urban singles chart. This week for the first time the single grabbed its first individual state No.1, hitting the top spot in New South Wales (Sydney) - Australia's biggest state. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
Mariah Carey's "Greatest Hits" has re-entered the ARIA Top 100 at No.83, over 18 months since it was first released. It peaked at No.60 in early 2001 and only recently has had a resurgence thanks to its inclusion in the Sony "Under $20" advertising campaign. It also sits at No.17 on the Urban albums chart.
Universal Music Australia need to move into action immediately if they want to salvage "Charmbracelet" which has been absent from the ARIA charts for many months. This week Busta's album "It Ain't Safe No More" (which includes "I Know What You Want") re-enters the Urban album chart at No.35, no doubt thanks to the success of the single. As yet, no date is confirmed for the re-release of "Charmbracelet", but it would be ludicrous to miss this opportunity.
"I Know What You Want" at No.1 is a real possibility. We just need airplay to keep increasing. To help with this a very easy to use request page has been made and can be accessed at mariahdownunder.com. (Mariah Downunder Forums)
