On the any distro front, rapper Allday sits at two with Startup Cult (UNFD/Warner), while Sydney-instrumental rock outfit sleepmakeswaves debuted at six with their latest record Love Of Cartography (Bird’s Robe Records/MGM). Sleepmakeswaves did enter at two with that album on the indie distro chart, just behind Sia.

Other album debuts this week came from Melbourne alternative-electro artist Fractures – his Fractures EP (Create/Control/Universal Music Australia) rounds out the any distro 20, while Sydney hip hop artist Cheap Sober debuted at 13 in the indie distro chart with The Spill Out (Independent/MGM).

In terms of singles this week, Sia and Brisbane pop outfit Sheppard are once again at the top. Chandelier (Monkey Puzzle/Inertia) and Geronimo (Independent/MGM) are at one and two respectively in both the any and indie distro charts.

Debuts on the any distro front came from hip hp supergroup One Day and their single Love Me Less, as well as the currently-touring singer-songwriter Thelma Plum and Monsters (Footstomp Music/Warner). Alternative pop muso Meg Mac debuted at 13 with her new track Roll Up Your Sleeves (LittleBIGMAN/Inertia) on the indie distro chart.
