360 Celebrates A Year In The Album Chart Top 50

This week has seen breakout Melbourne rapper 360 celebrate an astonishing 52 weeks - or a year - in the ARIA Album Chart top 50, with his album Falling & Flying peaking as high as four during that time.

Currently the album, which was released through Soulmate/EMI, sits at 35 on the chart and has achieved platinum status – which equates to over 70,000 copies shipped. The album's success was kicked off by the single Boys Like You which, featuring Gossling, peaked at three on the ARIA Singles Chart during an 18 week stint. The album's lowest point was last December when it was at 49.

Today 360's manager Rae Harvey told theMusic.com.au that the record is about to hit double platinum numbers (140,000) and achieve 500,000 single downloads.

“Falling & Flying is a great example of what can be achieved with a dedicated team of tenacious people who all had the privilege of working on what I believe, was the best album released in the last 12 months,” Harvey said.

“I think you'd be hard pressed to find many other Australian albums this year that spawned so many hit singles: Boys Like You (4 x platinum), Child (platinum), Killer (gold) and latest single Run Alone, which is about a week away from hitting platinum as well. Not to forget the first two singles (Just Got Started and Throw It Away) – that's six singles in all. Crazy.”

Run Alone currently holds position 35, like the album, but on the Singles Chart. It has spent eight weeks in the chart.
