HermitudeBlue Mountains-bred electronic duo Hermitude have claimed the top spot on this week's Albums stakes on the Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts with their new full-length Dark Night, Sweet Light.
The pair's triumphant entry knocks previous gold medallist Sia and her long-dominant album 1000 Forms Of Fear down a peg to #2, with the next-closest fresh face coming in the form of King Parrot's Dead Set, which slides into the top five at #3, ahead of San Cisco's Gracetown, up a spot to #4, and Courtney Barnett's Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit, bringing up the rear at #5. Fozzey & VanC close out the new-entry ranks for albums this week with No Feat., which makes its debut at #6.
Ascendant chanteuse Joelle takes out top debut honours on this week's Singles ladder, earning the #5 spot for Wish I Never, one of only two new tracks to make the cut — Sons Of The East's eponymous EP completes the set, entering the charts at #19, one spot above the reappeared Flume & Chet Faker, whose joint Drop The Game release is back at #20.
As far as incumbent releases are concerned, Sia sees her previously consecutive hat trick spread out a bit this week, with Big Girls Cry climbing up to #1 to knock Hermitude's The Buzz, featuring Mataya and Young Tapz, down to #2, while Elastic Heart sits strong at #3 and Chandelier drops a couple of rungs to #6. Southern singer-songwriter Asta also climbs inside the top five, with Dynamite, featuring Allday, trading places with Chandelier to hit #4 this week.
