Justice Crew blast into the charts and debut at No.1 with “Que Sera”, becoming the groups’ second No.1 single, plus the track sold enough in its first week that it debuts with a Gold (●) sales certification.

“Que Sera” is the 1019th No.1 single in Australia (1940 to 2013) and the 454th for ARIA (1983 to 2014), plus as I mentioned, the second for the group, as back in the first week of August 2012, they took “Boom Boom” to the top for two weeks. And as with their previous No.1, this song title has appeared in the No.1 spot two times in the past, both the same song by two different people. “Que Sera, Sera” (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) gave Doris Day her second No.1 in Australia back in September 1956, staying atop for eight weeks, whilst the song also spent another eight weeks at No.1 from early October in 1965 for Normie Rowe, the first of three No.1’s for him.

Que Sera” becomes the 22nd No.1 single in Australia for the Sony (direct) label, the last being Taylor Henderson back in November of 2013, and the song becomes the 157th No.1 by an Australian group to hit the top, and the third this year. Plus Justice Crew becomes the first act since Reece Mastin to notch up two No.1 singles and the first all Male Group (or duo) since Savage Garden in 1997 to achieve two chart-topping singles.

Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea climb a couple of spots to No.2 with “Problem”, whilst Iggy’s other Top 10 entry “Fancy” is also up two places to a new peak of No.7. Last weeks No.1 debut of “Sing” for Ed Sheeran is down two places to No.3, but also picks up a Gold (●) in sales, whilst the previous No.1 to Ed, “Geronimo” for Sheppard and the recent two-weeks-at-No.3 for Jason DeRulo in “Wiggle” are both down two places each to No.4 and No.5 respectively.

The third and final Gold (●) achieved in the Top 10 this week is for “Bad” by David Guetta, Showtek and local act Vassy, with the song down a place to No.6, whilst lodging his second Top 10 appearance is recent visitor to our shores Sam Smith, who leaps up fourteen places to No.8 with “Stay With Me”, with his previous Top 10 placing being his gust vocals on the Naughty Boy single “La La La” (HP-5, peaked early August 2013). Sia drops down three notches to No.9 with “Chandelier”, but another Top 10 jump comes from Zhu with “Faded”, which is up eleven places to No.10 now that mainstream radio is playing the track on high rotation.

NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Milky Chance bullet up twenty-two places to No.13 this week with “Stolen Dance”, and due to the DVD and BR renting and selling wells, the ‘Frozen’ soundtrack returns its former Top 20 placed track “Let it Go” for Idina Menzel back within the twenty; up eleven spots this week to a new peak of No.16. DJ Snake and Lil’ Jon leap up twenty-two places to No.21 with “Turn Down for What” and Pharrell jumps eleven to land at a new peak of No.29 with “Marilyn Monroe”. Demi Lovato’s version of “Let it Go” is back up eight spots to No.37 and thanks to the Gallipoli mini-series promo’s, “Young & Beautiful” for Lana Del Rey returns to the Top 40, up eleven this week to No.38. MKTO are up two places to a new peak of No.40 with “American Dream” thanks to their recent tour and the recent UK No.1 single “Waves” for Mr. Probz re-enters the ARIA Top 100 at No.42, scoring a new peak, as it originally made it to No.94 for a week in mid-February. Finally a third ‘Frozen’ track is up and back to it’s former peak of No.45, Kristen Bell with “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” whilst also returning to the Top 50 is Illy with “Tightrope”, up eight to No.48 this week.

DOWN DOWN: Rita Ora leaves the Top 10 after two weeks with “I Will Never Let You Down” (HP-5) and is down five to No.12, and also falling five is Peking Duk with “High” (HP-5, WI10-6), down to No.15 and finally this weeks new No.1 in the UK, “Summer” (HP-4, WI10-6) for Calvin Harris tumbles eleven spots to No.19.
