The Kid Laroi was nominated for three ARIA Awards in 2020.
ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said: “A #1 single by an Australian artist is a fantastic achievement in itself but to hit the top of the chart after so many weeks is remarkable. A massive congratulations to The Kid Laroi who has managed to top both charts in the space of three months. He’s an Aussie artist who is making a big impact overseas, particularly in the US.”

#9: Billie Eilish ‘Your Power’ – Following the announcement and the title of her second album, Billie Eilish hits the Top Ten with ‘Your Power’.

It becomes the American singer-songwriter’s twelfth Top Ten single on the ARIA Charts.
