It seems some Aussie artists are going unnoticed when it comes to success in the top of the Aria charts, but this is not the case for Victorian star Vanessa Amorosi.
Her latest pop-rock single ‘This Is Who I Am’ has skyrocketed, debuting at number one on the Aria singles chart this week and it’s not hard to see why.
Vanessa, recently back from working on her new album in Sweden, is stronger than ever and, with her powerful vocals and a fierce attitude, is more than capable of belting out a tune.
Vanessa is the first Australian artist to claim the chart’s top spot since Kylie Minogue’s hit ‘Two Hearts’ debuted at number one in 2007.
“I was completely overwhelmed when I heard ‘This Is Who I Am’ came in at number one,” the Melbourne-based singer said.
“I am so excited and thrilled to have the support from both the media and my fans. It is my first number-one single and I will absolutely treasure this moment.”
Vanessa shot to fame in 1999, when she was just 18 years old, with the release of her debut album The Power, which included her hit ‘Absolutely Everybody’. This single went on to become the longest-charting Australian single by an Australian female artist.
Her new single is the first from her new album Hazardous, to be released on November 6, 2009. If you want to see more of the Aussie singer, she will be touring with Rob Thomas throughout Australia during February next year.
