EYE ON THE CHARTS

Once again, Flume & Chet Faker are sitting at number one in AIR's singles/EP charts for independent labels with independent distribution chart with their melodic, beat-dropper Drop The Game (Future Classic/Independent). Indie electro outfit Panama moved into second with their single Always (Future Classic/Independent), pushing last week's number two, Stafford Brothers feat. Jason Herd & Sherry St. Germain and their track Wicked Child (One Love/Xelon) down to seven.

Sydney indie favourites The Jezabels debuted in the singles/EP chart at 12 with their new anthem Look Of Love (Independent/MGM), off their just released and highly anticipated second album The Brink.

Moving along to the albums released on independent labels through independent distribution chart and Mr Chet Faker again held onto the top spot with Thinking In Textures (Opulent/Inertia) and rappers Horrorshow maintained their recent hold on second spot with King Amongst Many (Elefant Traks/Inertia).

While there were no debuts as far as albums go this week, it seems the recent Big Day Out festival has impacted young Western Sydney MC Kerser's movements in the charts. Two of his albums - S.C.O.T (Kerser N Nebs/Obese Records) and No Rest For The Sickest (Obese Records) - came in at eight and 18 respectively.
