Takeouts
🏆 Holly Hebe monstered her way to the top of the tree this week, beating out solid competition for the top spot with her latest single ‘Don’t Come Crying‘. Over the last year, Hebe’s been making friends and influencing people and is receiving solid backing – this week saw her grab her sixth (!) spot in twelve months on New Music Friday AU & NZ, which is a hell of a feat for an emerging artist.
💪 GUM and Ambrose Kenny-Smith are music royalty in Australia for their work in Tame Impala, Pond, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, so it’s little surprise to see them well backed this week for a new track added to the deluxe edition of their ‘Ill Times‘ LP.
🔥 Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are another bold-faced name for playlisters, so it’s little surprise to see their ‘Weird World Awoke’ EP get a broad range of spots. Esha Tewari on the other hand is not Australian, and for her to make so many appearances on the playlists I track – who all predominantly feature Aussie artists – is both very, very rare and a sign of just how excited she’s getting people on this side of the world.
👏 LAZY GHOST, Yorke, and Velvet Trip all performed really well this week, with all three up-and-coming acts seeing as much or more support than some more established names.
