FLUME
For a third straight week Aussie electro act Hermitude have taken out the top spot for albums on the Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts, but they’ve gone one further this week. Not only have the Blue Mountains duo clinched the #1 spot again with their album, Dark Night Sweet Light, but they’ve also taken out top honours for the Singles chart with their track, The Buzz, featuring Mataya & Young Tapz. After debuting in the charts six weeks ago, the track sat at #3 last week but has surprisingly jumped the pack to come in at #1.
TWO FOR THE SHOW
SEE YOU THERE

America’s Pallbearer have invited local dread-vendors Lizzard Wizzard and Hobo Magic as their supporting guests Sunday when they play Crowbar.
Meanwhile, fellow electro producer Flume’s track Some Minds has had an excellent debut this week, taking out the #2 spot, while Sia’s Big Girls Cry has been pushed from the top spot down to #3. The song, which also features Miike Snow frontman Andrew Wyatt, made a comfortable debut on last week’s ARIA charts and has done even better here. Otherwise, over on the Albums Chart, there’s been little change since last week, with the only notable movement seeing Courtney Barnett’s Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit move from third spot to second, switching with Sia’s highly acclaimed album, 1000 Forms Of Fear.
