Eden had a total of eight songs in the ARIA top 50 for that week.

Six of these songs left the ARIA top 50 the following week, including "Stay with Me Baby" which dropped to number 54, the biggest drop from number one in Australian chart history.

"I Was Your Girl" left the ARIA top 100, the equal biggest fall for a number three song in Australian chart history.

"You Won't Let Me", "I Was Your Girl", "Nothing's Real but Love" and "Stay with Me Baby" each received gold certifications by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for sales of 35,000 copies.

Karise Eden (born 11 July 1992) is an Australian singer and songwriter.

Eden was born on 11 July 1992 in Gosford Hospital in Gosford, New South Wales.

She was raised in Wyoming, New South Wales.

Her mother is Michele and her sister is Siana.

From a young age, Eden and her sister were part of a foster aunty and uncle program, which gave their single mother Michele respite.

One weekend a month (and often more often), they would stay with 'aunty' Marilyn and 'uncle' Frank.

Eden's childhood was deeply affected by her family dysfunctions and issues of self-esteem.

As the years passed, she did not always get along well with her mother, and at the age of 11, she began harming herself.

During this time, she was diagnosed with agoraphobia and, at the age of 12, Eden finished school.

It was around this time that Eden saw a Janis Joplin documentary on television and realised that maybe the raspy tones in her own voice weren't that bad after all.

"Hence began my obsession with everything Janis".

At around the age of 13, Eden was left in the care of Department of Community Services at Gosford by her mother, who was not coping.

Eden spent her teenage years living in over 20 women's refuges as a state ward.

During this time, she reconnected with Aunty Marilyn and Uncle Frank who were both musicians.

She recalled that her uncle Frank taught her everything about music and how to play the guitar.

"When he first started teaching me how to play, I was playing traditional folk and bluegrass – now I play the double bass and I'm learning the banjo".

Eden auditioned for the first series of the Australian reality television talent show The Voice.

In 2012, she became the winner of the first series of The Voice Australia.

Eden subsequently signed with Universal Music Australia and released her debut single "You Won't Let Me".

It was one of the four songs recorded by Eden that entered the ARIA Singles Chart top five during the week of 25 June 2012.

Eden's debut studio album My Journey was released on 26 June 2012, which contained songs she performed on The Voice, as well as newly recorded covers.

The album debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified double platinum.

She appeared on the show's first episode on 15 April 2012, singing James Brown's "It's a Man's World".

All four coaches turned around their chairs within the first twelve seconds: Keith Urban was the first coach who turned around his chair, followed by the other three coaches: Seal, Delta Goodrem and Joel Madden.

All four coaches opted to take Eden as one of their finalists; she eventually chose Seal as her coach and mentor.

Eden progressed through to the Battle Rounds, where she was paired against contestant Paula Parore, singing Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black".

As a result, Seal chose Eden as the winner of the battle and she progressed through to the Live Shows.

Throughout this round, the coaches and audiences were impressed with Eden's performances of Rebecca Ferguson's "Nothing's Real but Love", Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" and Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".

During the first part of the grand final, on 17 June 2012, Eden sang an original song entitled "I Was Your Girl", which she co-wrote with a friend, and a cover of Lorraine Ellison's "Stay with Me Baby".

Eden was announced the winner of the season during the second part of the grand final on 18 June 2012.

After she was announced the winner, Eden performed her debut single "You Won't Let Me" for the first time.

She was awarded a prize of $100,000, a Ford Focus car and a recording contract with Universal Music Australia.

"You Won't Let Me" was released digitally on 19 June 2012 and physically on 21 June 2012.

For the week of 25 June 2012, Eden's songs "You Won't Let Me", "Stay with Me Baby", "Hallelujah" and "I Was Your Girl" took up four positions of the ARIA Singles Chart top five.
