| After a split with former Savage Garden colleague Daniel Jones, Darren Hayes has managed to maintain the impetus of his old band. Savage Garden reched number two with their self-titled 1998 debut and number seven with the 1999 follow-up Affirmation, both of which went triple platinum, with sales of 992,000 and 927,000 respectively. Hayes continues his Top 10 streak this week, debuting at number 2 with his first solo set Spin. The album includes the single Insatiable, which reached number eight a fortnight ago, and sold more than 32,500 units last week. Twenty-nine year old Hayes, from Brisbane, was 6,000 sales short of becoming the first Australian male solo artist to top the chart since Jason Donovan in 1989 (Peter Andre topped in 1996 but was born in the UK before migrating as a child). |
