Phoebe Go has been consistently backed by the best playlists in Australia whenever a new track is released, but she starts the year with more playlist adds than literally anyone else, the first time she’s topped the tree. If there’s any justice in the world, it won’t be the last time either.
Most Playlisted This Week
🥇Phoebe Go
🥈1300
🥉Djanaba, Gold Fang
1300 – another massively well-supported emerging act – also did as well as they always do, only a nose behind the top spot with their latest track ‘Ape Shit’. It’s somehow filthier when spelled as two separate words. Huh.
In a massive surprise, Gold Fang made it onto the podium – this is remarkable because it’s week two for ‘Move Like This’, which almost never happens. His progress and support continues to be of note, and if you look at the last fortnight, he’s the most playlisted artist of the last two weeks.
Story Of The Week though goes to Djanaba, who managed to bag spots on some heavyweight playlists across both the major and independent lists – a huge achievement for an artist at her career point, and a better performance this week that some with a lot more mileage on the clock. It’s a belter of a track too – one to watch for certain.
Normally I’d end it there, but it was a *hell* of a week for music – if you look just a bit further down the list you’ll see really strong support for artists like The Buoys, Elsy Wameyo, and Emily Wurramara, as well as for Kirin J Callinan, Redhook, Divebar Youth and Shannen James. I’d urge you to check all of them out – this week was straight-up quality for new music.
