Most Playlisted This Week
Each week, my robots scour the best Australian new music playlists and look for who is getting the love from the most critics and tastemakers. This week’s podium finishers:
🥇EGOISM (appeared on 33% of updated playlists)
🥈Tamara & the Dreams (25%)
🥉Parcels, Esha Tewari, Baker Boy, Press Club, First Beige, Mulga Bore Hard Rock (21%)
🏆 EGOISM continue their run of popularity with playlisters – this is their fourth podium finish in as many releases, and their second 1st place finish. I talked about them in January as one of my Making Noise picks, and looking at the data just a couple of months later from that, it looks like they are actually increasing the pace of follower growth. In non-nerd speak – whatever EGOISM are up to, it’s working.
💪 Tamara & the Dreams stormed into second place with “Successful Bisexual”, a really strong result for this emerging project.
🔥 Out of towners did well too – despite now being Berlin-based, Aussie playlists haven’t forgotten Parcels and backed their latest track hard, but also gave Esha Tewari (who is not Australian and lives in the US) a lot of love. The latter is odd to see because the playlists I track are deliberately chosen for their slant towards Australian music – making it onto the podium in this list as a non-Aussie is really, really hard!
🔥 Press Club and Baker Boy are both reliably well-backed artists and performed well again this week with the playlists, with First Beige also doing notably well to make it into the top three.
👏 Mulga Bore Hard Rock were the breakout stars of the show for a second week though – making it onto the podium twice in two weeks is super rare, and shows just how much goodwill there is out there for this project.
