A strong performance from Liyah Knight saw her break just ahead of a heavyweight pack this week, gaining the most adds on the best Aussie new music playlists with “Play It Cool”.
Most Playlisted This Week
🥇Liyah Knight
🥈Tkay Maidza, Jack River, Mo’Ju, Kira Puru, ENOLA, Vv Pete
🥉Vallis Alps, Speed, These New South Whales
Those just behind her though included some absolute belters, with Tkay Maidza, Jack River, Mo’Ju, and Hatchie all performing as strongly as you’d expect.
There were a particularly pleasing number of less-established acts popping up all over the place too though, with Kira Puru, Speed, and the brilliant These New South Whales all taking up large amounts of playlist real estate. ENOLA did particularly well for such a new project, with “Metal Body” nudging the top of the list in its second week of release – looks like people are catching on.
Vv Pete was the unmissable Story Of The Week though, her recent FBi Radio Next Big Thing award clearly putting her on some radars. New track “Frauds” made it onto just as many lists as some WAY bigger acts this week, a sure sign of support for this exciting artist.

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.
