Casey Barnes gets another country #1, SME wins market share battle

‘Breathe’ by The Buckleys hits a new peak of #6, while ‘Porch Party’ by Jayne Denham, Jasmine Rae & Amber Lawrence jumps three frames to #5.

On the TMN Hot 100 powered by Radio Monitor, Brando’s hit ‘Look Into My Eyes’ remains #1.

Amy Shark (‘Everybody Rise’) at #9, Sia (‘Together’) at #10 and ‘This City by Sam Fischer at #6 are the local acts currently occupying spits in the Top 10.
