The week belonged to CLEWS’ “Everything Is Heavy” and Triple One’s “PETER RABBIT”, both of which appeared on about a third of the best new music playlists in Australia.
🥇CLEWS, Triple One
🥈Abby Bella May, ioakim, merci, mercy
🥉Folk Bitch Trio, Forest Claudette, Ivoris, Jesswar, PRICIE, Suzi, Thundamentals, grentperez
Abby Bella May’s fabulous new track “1975” was only a whisker behind, along with ioakim’s new one “kids should know better” and merci, mercy’s “Too Easy” from their EP.
There was also strong support for new drops from Forest Claudette, Ivoris, Jesswar, PRICIE, Thundamentals, and grentperez, as well as a burst of support for Suzi’s excellent “Canberra” from a couple of weeks back.
Story Of The Week though is the wondrous Folk Bitch Trio, whose haunting and hypnotic AA-side “Lost/Shivers” placed them squarely in the top end of the list, quietly but firmly standing alongside some much more established artists.

The image above is a screenshot of the top end of the full lists. You can see this week’s lists here – those are updated on Mondays and allow you to scroll down the whole list. That page also details a bit more about how the whole thing works and what the charts mean.
You can also listen to the most playlisted tracks on, er, a playlist that I keep updated here. This has got the latest 50-ish most playlisted tracks from the last month or so on it, and it’s a decent spin through recent tracks that Australian new music playlisters are adding. The playlists that I track are the same as the ones listed in the Playlist Guide.
