Chet Faker Lands #1 Album As Indie Labels Rule

It's a fitting ARIA Charts result on Record Store Day this week, with records released on Australian independent labels topping both the albums and singles chart.

As predicted midweek, Melbourne neo-soul star Chet Faker has debuted at number one with his record Built On Glass, released on Future Classic with distribution through Warner. Over in the Singles Chart Brisbane's Sheppard, who are signed to Chugg Music with distro from MGM, hold number one for a second week with Geronimo.

In the albums chart five of the top six are local artists, with Russell Morris debuting at four with Van Diemen's Land. The iconic Australian musician finally got his first ever top ten last year with the under-the-radar Sharkmouth album peaking at six and so this debut gives him his first ever top five.

INXS's The Very Best is knocked to two, The Voice's Harrison Craig debuts at five with L.O.V.E and Dan Sultan's Blackbird holds on to sixth in its second week. The only non-Aussie in the mix is the soundtrack to Frozen, which remains at three.

Further down Jessica Mauboy debuted at 17 with Beautiful and the soundtrack to Divergent managed 18. Melbourne's Saskwatch snuck into the top 46 with Nose Dive.

There's a similar Australian presence in the singles chart, with Sia moving up to two behind Sheppard with Chandelier. Pharrell Williams' record-seeking Happy slumps to three.

The top debut came from Samantha Jade, whose Up! arrived at 18. The Amity Affliction's Pittsburgh had a really strong second half of the week and manages 28.

Passenger's Hearts On Fire debuted at 43, one behind Katy Perry's Birthday. The reformed Short Stack arrive with Television at 47.
