Aussies dominate the ARIA Charts

Singles

After methodically working her way to the top, Grace is the first Aussie to top the singles chart in 2015 with "You Don't Own Me" featuring G-Eazy which lands at #1 in its fourth week, unseating "See You Again" after six weeks at #1. Grace is the first Aussie to lead the singles chart since The Veronicas spent three weeks at #1 last September.

"Bad Blood" from Taylor Swift featuring Kendrick Lamar is back in the chart at #3 after previously charting for just two weeks before dropping out.

The other artists new to the top 10 this week are Jessie J with "Flashlight" which rose from #15 to #7 in its second week and Rachel Platten with "Fight Song" which climbed from #16 to #10 in its ninth week.

Three new tunes debuted inside the top 50:
#29 The Barden Bellas with "World Championship Finale 2" from Pitch Perfect
#48 DJ Snake and AlunaGeorge with "You Know You Like It" – a Remix of AlunaGeorge's 2012 tune
#49 A$AP Rocky with "Everyday" featuring Rod Stewart, Miguel and Mark Ronson

Albums

Both charts dominated by Aussies this week with Blue Mountains electronic duo Hermitude landing at #1 with "Dark Night Sweet Light". It's great music and deserves a good chart run. Hermitude's previous album "Hyperparadise" peaked on this chart at #37 in 2012.

Faith No More were regular chart visitors in the 90s but it has been a while between albums for them! "Sol Invictus" debuts at #2 and is their first studio album in 18 years when "Album Of The Year" was just that and #1 in 1997.

The rest of the 10 new albums to debut in the top 50 this week:
#11 Twenty One Pilots with "Blurryface"
#14 Brandon Flowers with "The Desired Effect"
#19 Zedd with "True Colors"
#21 King Parrot with "Dead Set"
#26 Conchita Wurst with "Conchita"
#29 Hot Chip with "Why Make Sense?"
#39 Leonard Cohen with "Can't Forget: A Souvenir of the Grand Tour"
#41 Jasmine Rae with "Heartbeat"
