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.
This week’s
ARIA CHARTSPolaris take pole position
The Paper Kites and MAY-A debut
An Australian band is at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart for a second week in a row, as Polaris debuts in the top spot with Fatalism.
Fatalism marks the third studio album and a chart peak for the Aussie metalcore act. The Mortal Coil peaked at #6 in 2017 and The Death Of Me climbed to #3 in 2020, while EP The Guilt & The Grief hit #34 in 2016.
ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd, said: “Congratulations to Polaris for their first #1, it’s an incredible achievement and very well deserved. How exciting to be celebrating a second week with a local band on top, and three recent Australian #1 albums between Polaris, Powderfinger and G Flip. ”
The announcement of The Weeknd’s Australian tour in November continues to pump up his chart performance, with The Highlights rising from #3 to #2, while his former #1 album Starboy holds at #4.
The soundtrack to the documentary Ego: The Michael Gudinski Story reverses direction, rising from #46 to #29. The album peaked at #18 four weeks ago.
In more Australian success, the sixth studio album from The Paper Kites, At The Roadhouse, debuts at #68 while Analysis Paralysis, the second EP from MAY-A, is new at #70. Her first, Don’t Kiss Ur Friends, peaked at #31 in 2021.
On the Singles Chart, Doja Cat’s Paint The Town Red sits at #1 for the third week.
American country-rock star Zach Bryan is knocking on the door of the top 10, with his duet with Kacey Musgraves, I Remember Everything, rising to #11 in its second week and Something In The Orange holding at #12 in its 60th week on the chart.
Kylie Minogue is new at #46 with Tension, the title track from her new album, which drops on 22 September. It’s the follow up to Padam Padam, which peaked at #19 earlier this year, and her 56th top 100 hit in Australia.
