Australia's first stop for pop!

GOLDENNESS

by

If Aussie songstress Vanessa Amorosi was celebrating hard right throughout last week, we feel there’s another week of partying on the way, with the singer’s new single ‘This Is Who I Am’ being given a GOLD accreditation this morning for sales of more than 35,000 copies. The track holds it’s No.1 position on the official ARIA singles chart this week, becoming the first Aussie track to debut and hold it’s No.1 position in the second week since Silverchair’s ‘Straight Lines’ two and a half years ago. Things are now looking rather good indeed for the singer’s forthcoming album ‘Hazardous’, due into the shops on November 06.

  1. Yes, she’s doing amazing things – though we happened to notice earlier this evening that Lady Gaga has debuted atop the iTunes chart with ‘Bad Romance’ and Ke$ha has leapt into the No.2 spot with ‘TiK ToK’.

  2. Her album will be amazing. She has already spent 18 days at the top of the itunes song chart. That has to be some sort of record!!!. Just wait and see what her album will do.

  3. The woman is amazing! I just met her, for the second time. She came in with a sales manager for Universal to visit the Universal sales centre and had a chat with the guys. I work on the same floor and know them, so, being the biggest VanAm fan on the planet, I hung out over there. After almost crying, I got a few photos and she gave me a signed copy of “Hazardous”. It is awesome!! Absolutely amazing. It is very different to SITRW. She has managed to capture the old Vanessa and mix it with the new, leaving us with amazing up-tempo, beautifully written, pop tracks. She can do no wrong.
    I’m not gonna lie, I flicked through each track until I found a ballad, “Higher Ground” stole my heart ;)

  4. @ Mark – Vanessa has been accredited Gold, a big achievement, but still a long way off Guy Sebastian’s “Like It Like That”, which is a whisker off double platinum.

  5. Wow. Vanessa has got to be the front runner now for Highest Selling Single at next years ARIA awards. She would be a worthy winner too. This Is Who I Am is a song that really means something. Not just a catchy tune.
