She was the only Australian and only female songwriter in the Top Ten; the rest of the list being dominated by North American and British artists. Welcome To The Madhouse becomes the tenth Australian #1 album on the ARIA Charts in 2021.
Watson’s unstoppable success now continues with the highly anticipated Welcome To The Madhouse, featuring singles ‘Fly Away’ (#4 Feb. ’21) and ‘Cloudy Day’ (#31 Jul. ’21).
Tones And I says: “Wow wow wow! Thank you so much Australia for your ongoing love and support, I am blown away. I can’t bloody believe it, I will not be quitting any time soon. Haha!”
ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd says: “This is an incredible result for Tones And I, and for Australian music. As the world’s number one songwriter in 2020 and after ruling the singles charts in 30 countries, Tones epitomises the unbelievable credibility of our home-grown recording industry. The chart-topping Welcome To The Madhouse continues an incredible string of successes that we are proud to champion.”
