Vance Joy Continues Play For US Chart Success

Big things just keep on happening for Melbourne singer-songwriter Vance Joy, following his recent win in the triple j Hottest 100 and top ten UK single with another solid performance on a different chart in the biggest music territory in the world.

Riptide has been moving up the US Adult Alternative Songs chart the past few weeks, last week it liftied from 15 to 13, which is where it remains this week. Currently touring the country with the Laneway festival, Joy will return to the US in March for gigs with Young The Giant and will also play his own showcase gigs at this year's SxSW in Texas.

Another Australian currently getting traction in the US charts this week is Sydney singer Betty Who, her Somebody Loves You single climbed from 18 to 16 in the Stateside Dance Club Songs chart last week and now spends its seventh week on that chart five spots higher at number 11.

Sony Music recently picked up the 21-year-old who is being tipped to have a massive 2014. They have released Somebody Loves You this week, after Betty Who - real name Jessica Anne Newham - issued the song on her self-released The Movement EP last year.
