Independent Chart Wrap: Ball Park Music strike gold

AIR Singles

Sia ends Flume’s 14 week stint at #1 with Say It ft. Tove Lo with Cheap Thrills returning to the top spot from #2. The fall is somewhat compensated with Never Be Like You ft. Kai returning to #3 from #4. Multi-instrumentalist D.D Dumbo takes a new peak at #5 from #20 with latest single Walrus and makes for the last notable change in the Top 10.

Outside the bracket there aren’t many significant movers but The Rubens do re-enter at #16 with Hoops, as does Chet Faker with Talk Is Cheap at #19.

AIR Radio Play

It’s a sixth straight week at #1 for Say It on the Radio Play chart however, with the only competition for Flume being The Temper Trap’s Lost, which debuts at #2. The recently released music video for the track no doubt helped propel the high entry.

Sia’s Elastic Heart returns to #7 from #11 followed by Chandelier at #9 from #12. Plenty of re-entries take place but it’s the debuts worth mentioning this week. D.D Dumbo’s Walrus enters at #17 followed by The John Butler Trio’s 2004 classic Zebra, making its AIR Radio Play debut at #18.

Katy Steele’s Where’s The Laughter debuts at #19, and is the only 100% independent release to make the chart in months, released through Create Control. Sticky Fingers’ Our Town enjoys a debut further down at #20.

AIR Albums

Debuting at #1 on the Carlton Dry Independent Albums chart this week is Ball Park Music’s Every Night The Same Dream. The group debuted at #3 on the ARIA Albums chart this week and is the follow up to 2014’s Puddinghead which sees a re-entry at #15 this week.

Local pop-punk favourites Forever Ends Here nab themselves a #3 debut with Imagine This while Katie Brianna debuts at #12 with Victim Or The Heroine.
