Stafford Brothers Storm US Dance Chart

The Stafford Brothers local hit Hello has now cracked the US market, this week bulleting up to number 37 in the US Dance/Club Play chart.

The track features vocals from US hip hop artist Lil Wayne who this week scored the highest debut album in the US with his I Am Not A Human Being ll entering the Billboard 200 at number two. Hello also features the voice of US R&B singer Christina Milian - the singer had two major club hits in 2001 and 2002 with AM To PM and When You Look At Me.

The Brothers' track smashed into the Australian charts three weeks ago; Hello this week jumped from 25 to 15 in the ARIA Singles Chart. It is also sitting at number two on the ARIA Club Chart and this week topped the iTunes dance sales chart in Australia - it was sitting at number four in the overall local iTunes singles sales chart at the time of publising.

The Brothers are now based in LA where their single has been released on Cash Money Records, home to Nicki Minaj and Tyga.

This week also sees another Australian continue to make a slow push into the US market by collaborating with an established hip hop star. In the States, Guy Sebastian's Battle Scars hit has the ex-Aus Idol credited as a featured artist to the better-known-in-the-US Lupe Fiasco. The track this weeks climbs from 76 to 71 in the US Hot 100, where it has now been in the chart for 14 weeks.
