ARIA CHARTS
Gloria gets the glory
Flume and MAY-A reach a new chart peak
.
.
After holding the #1 single spot with Unholy for six non-consecutive weeks from October to January, Sam Smith starts the new year with a bang, debuting at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart with Gloria. Off the back of their triple J Hottest 100 win this week, Flume and MAY-A also hit a new chart peak.
Gloria is Sam Smith’s fourth studio album and boasts collaborators that include Kim Petras, Koffee and Jessie Reyez, as well as writing credits from the likes of Max Martin and Calvin Harris. It is also their fourth ARIA top 10 and second #1 after In The Lonely Hour claimed the top spot in 2014. Smith will tour Australia in November, with dates added to Melbourne and Sydney after their first shows sold out in just one day.
On the Singles Chart, Miley Cyrus’ Flowers continues its incredible run at #1, after breaking the Australian record for most streams in a track’s first week of release. Flume and MAY-A come in at #4 after Saturday’s Hottest 100, the track’s first time back in the top 50 since May 2022 (it peaked at #16 in February last year). The Kid LAROI also makes a debut at #14 with Love Again.
After achieving an incredible six places in the Hottest 100, with three tracks in the top 10, Perth favourites Spacey Jane also climb 33 places from last week to #5 with the album Here Comes Everybody.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
