In a four-way tie, Big Scary, Boy & Bear, Yb. And Ocean Alley shared joint top honours this week for the most adds to the best new music playlists in Australia. Boy & Bear’s return with “Just To Be Kind”, and tracks from Big Scary’s Me and You album were both fresh out this week, but both Yb. And Ocean Alley’s entries saw earlier releases continue to gain widespread support.

Elsewhere, a crowded pack were only a sliver behind, and again featured a broader mix of brand new and slightly older releases than we normally see. Whatever, the reason, there was a far broader spread among the most added artists this week, which I’m happy to put down to the playlists not being able to pick a winner among this embarrassment of riches.
Story Of The Week though goes to Jess Day, whose EP The Lovers (Reversed) propelled her track “Allie” onto a bigger spread of playlists than many of her more established peers.
