Jimmy Barnes Tops On Indie Charts; Old Barnes' Albums Re-enter

Aussie icon Jimmy Barnes continues to dominate the charts as his latest record, Soul Searchin’, shoots to the top of the Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts to debut at #1.

The win on the Indie Music Charts follows a first place debut on the ARIA Albums Chart over the weekend, the Cold Chisel vocalist’s 11th solo record to place that high, and hype that also sees re-entries for his 2015 compilation Best Of The Soul Years (#14) and 30:30 Hindsight (#17).

Aussie electro maestro Flume continues to make a strong impact with his latest offering, Skin, sitting at #2 on the Albums chart (knocked down a slot by Barnes) and Say It, ft. Tove Lo holding steady at #1 over on the Singles chart, while his Kai collaboration, Never Be Like You, sits at #4 and his self-titled 2012 LP moves down to #11.

Tasmanian country rock outfit The Wolfe Brothers are the only other debut on this week’s charts, placing at #3 as they try to figure out This Crazy Life, while Urthboy sees a bump in figures, moving up seven places to #13 with The Past Beats Inside Me Like A Second Heartbeat and The Rubens’ Hoops re-entering to claim #20.
