ARIA has revealed its annual top 100 lists, and as it turns out we were a pretty patriotic lot this year.
There were 30 Aussie records in the albums charts, our best showing since 2007. Angus & Julia Stone’s Down the Way was the best charting local disc, landing the number seven possie. Considering its relatively late release, I was also impressed to see Altiyan Childs’ self titled debut sitting at number 19. He just edged out John Butler Trio’s April Uprising, which sat at number 20, and Birds of Tokyo’s self titled debut, which charted at number 24.
It was a less impressive year for Aussie singles, but we still managed to see 14 tracks in the top 100. Guy Sebastian did his bit with both “Who’s That Girl” (42) and “Art of Love” (90), while Yolanda Be Cool and DCup was the standout with “We Speak No Americano” at number 34.
