Australian Idol discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian Idol was a televised talent contest, screened on Channel Ten for seven seasons between 2003 and 2009. Several contestants were signed to record labels, while others released their music independently. Since 2003 Australian Idol acts have placed well on the Australian music charts, with numerous platinum and gold certifications.[1][2] Eight Idol releases appeared in the 2000 – 2009 ARIA End of Decade Charts, and 24 releases have been nominated for Highest Selling ARIA Music Awards.[3][4][5][6] Idol contestants have also been nominated for 35 ARIA Awards in public vote categories, where the nominees are most commonly selected from the highest selling acts of the year. There have also been 50 industry judged ARIA Award nominations. To date there have been 11 wins in sales and public vote categories, and in 2013 season one winner Guy Sebastian and season four runner up Jessica Mauboy became the first Idol contestants to win peer voted ARIA Awards.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

"Battle Scars", a collaboration with Lupe Fiasco, reached number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, 23 on the Billboard Digital Song Chart and number one on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Chart.[15][16] It spent 20 weeks in the Hot 100, and has been certified triple platinum for sales of three million.[17][18] "Battle Scars" also reached number two in Norway.[19] In January 2013 Ricki-Lee Coulter's "Do It Like That" reached number seven on the Japan Hot 100.[20]
