Gauci first Idol 'runner up'
AUSTRALIAN Idol fans have given the thumbs down to Natalie Gauci's debut Here I Am, making it the first winner's single to not enter the ARIA charts at No.1.
It debuted at No.2 with the less-than-stellar response partly due to the sledgling it got from Idol runner-up Matt Corby.
Gauci herself had admitted she as at first confused by the song but her overhaul of the track written by American hitmakers Lindy Robbins and Tom Leonard was undoubtedly a far better version than Corby offered.
While the newcomer may not be at the top, Kylie Minogue has reaffirmed her dominance.
Her 10th studio record X debuted at No.1, managing to dislodge the evergreen Eagles and their comeback, Long Road Out Of Eden.
Another Australian veteran celebrating renewed popularity with fans is Jimmy Barnes, whose acutely personal return Out In The Blue debuted at No.3.
Competition for the Christmas No.1 will heat up from today with the major labels spending millions in marketing hoping to boost end-of-year sales to weather the international slump of the CD.
Download sales have yet to skyrocket in Australia hampered by broadband speeds. Even though Gauci's Here I Am was available via Bigpond straight after her win a week ago, it only reached No.3 on ARIAs Digital Track Chart.
