Tracks from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s latest collection dominated the best Australian new music playlists this week, a level of support for this titanic outfit that you’d expect.
Most Playlisted This Week
🥇King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
🥈Death By Denim, Emerson Leif, Horror My Friend, Phoebe Go
🥉Arno Faraji, Cry Club, KANADA THE LOOP, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Vera Blue
Right on their heels though were both Death By Denim and Horror My Friend, whose new tracks – “Magic Daisy” and “Your Life Continued”, respectively – bagged enough slots to make them two of the most added individual tracks. Tracks from Emerson Leif’s new EP also put them in the top tier.
Elsewhere, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Vera Blue both received strong support, while Arno Faraji made it three releases in a row to get into the upper echelons of playlister support. It’s also always a delight to see personal faves Cry Club and KANADA THE LOOP appear so frequently as well.
Story Of The Week though – for the second time this year – goes to the outstanding Phoebe Go, who (as an artist) just missed out on topping the list this week, but as a track (“Be The Player, Not The Poet”) got the most amount of adds, alongside Death By Denim and Horror My Friend. The last few months have seen consistent, then growing support for this exciting artist – as much or more support in fact than artists with many times greater followings.

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.
