Horrorshow Make Top-10 Debut On Indie Charts With New Live Album

Venerated Australian hip hop duo Horrorshow have made the week's highest entry on the Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts with new live album Live From The Listen Close Tour, making its debut on the LPs ladder this week at #9.

They're the sole act to make a top-10 debut on the Albums chart this week, and one of only two across the wider top 20; returned faves Philadelphia Grand Jury also see a strong entry for their new work Summer Of Doom, stepping out at #18. It's a pretty quiet week for new faces across the board, though, with the Singles rankings only seeing one fresh entry this week in the form of ascendant songstress Banoffee, whose Do I Make You Nervous? EP makes its debut at #12.

As far as incumbents go, Sia has outdone herself this week, as Fire Meet Gasoline creeps back on the chart at #20 to take her total number of currently charting singles to six, alongside My Love (#16), Big Girls Cry (#8), Chandelier (#5), Elastic Heart (#3) and back-to-back #1 single Alive. Meg Mac (Never Be, #2; Roll Up Your Sleeves, #7) and Hermitude (The Buzz, feat. Mataya & Young Tapz, #4; Searchlight, feat. Yeo, #6; Parallel Paradise EP, #18) also put in solid performances again this week — though not as numerous as Sia's, they're still enjoying multiple strong results, with all three acts taking up eight of the top 10 slots (Sheppard and Chet Faker are the only other artists to make the top-half cut, with their respective hits Geronimo and Talk Is Cheap at #9 and #10).

In the upper echelons of the Albums stakes, both Sia and Hermitude appear again — the former incumbent at #1 with 1000 Forms Of Fear in its 66th week in the rankings, the latter with Dark Night Sweet Light, down a spot to #4 this week — alongside acclaimed releases by Gurrumul (The Gospel Album, #2), Courtney Barnett (Sometimes I Sit & Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit, #3) and The Waifs (Beautiful You, #5). Also filling out the top half are full-lengths from The Dead Daisies (Revolucion, #6), Seth Sentry (Strange New Past, #7), Thirsty Merc (Shifting Gears, back in the top 10 at #8) and Flight Facilities, whose Down To Earth drops two places but stays high enough to form the top-half cut-off this week at #10.
