With 844 different tracks added to the best Australian new music playlists this week (the 3rd largest amount this year), it was a really busy week and incredibly difficult to stand out.

Most Playlisted This Week

🥇Alex Lahey, Babe Rainbow, DICE, Skeleten, Teenage Joans

A handful of artists just (only just!) nudged ahead of the crowded pack though, with excellent releases from Alex Lahey, Babe Rainbow, DICE, and Teenage Joans all appearing on about a quarter of the lists that updated this week.

Story Of The Week though has to go Skeleten, who not only managed to elbow their way to the front of the queue, doing so ahead of some more established acts, and in a particularly busy week of high-quality releases.

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
