Peking Duk Back On Top Of Carlton Dry Independent Singles Charts

White-hot dance duo Peking Duk have returned to pole position atop this week's Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts, with their single Take Me Over, featuring SAFIA, edging out last week's victors the Hilltop Hoods and Cosby Sweater, which drops to #2.

That's not to say the Hilltops put in a slouching effort over the past seven days — their full-length Walking Under Stars remains at the top of the albums stakes' upper echelon, ahead of Chet Faker (Built On Glass, #2), Countdown (#3), AC/DC (Rock Or Bust, #4) and Vance Joy (Dream Your Life Away, #5).

Many of last week's placers remain in top-20 contention this week, though some albums that have previously appeared and consequently dropped off have re-entered in strong positions: Sticky Fingers' Land Of Pleasure is back at #11, The Kite String Tangle's Vessel EP returns at #13, and The Wiggles' Hot Potatoes! compilation re-enters at #13, just ahead of Dan Sultan's Blackbird (#14) and Kingswood's Microscopic Wars (#15). At the back end of the top 20, Flume's self-titled album also makes a reappearance, netting the record its 100th week on the charts.

Back in the singles field, Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP's take on Rodriguez's Sugar Man makes an upward movement from #6 to #3 this week, leapfrogging Timmy Trumpet's former #1 Freaks (now #4); Will Sparks (Ah Yeah, #5) and Sia (Chandelier, #6) are each down a rank, while Sheppard's Geronimo — powering towards its 43rd week in the top 20 — Peking Duk's High and Chet Faker's Talk Is Cheap all maintain their positions from last week (respectively #7-#9). Vance Joy closes out the top 10 with the unshakeable Riptide (just ahead of Mess Is Mine, at #11).
