San CiscoWest Australian indie-pop wunderkinds San Cisco have made an assured debut on this week's Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts, with their second full-length album, Gracetown, this week comprehensively beating back all other newcomers to claim #1 on the Albums ladder.
The Too Much Time Together scribes aren't the only act to freshly score a place in the full-length stakes, however, as Dick Diver (Melbourne, Florida, #8), Darren Hanlon (Where Did You Come From?, #9), Take Us To Vegas (Alive, #11) and Chaos Divine (Colliding Skies, #20) all make their debuts on the Albums chart this week.
Among the familiar faces populating the remaining spots, a few are approaching the milestone of having spent 52 weeks (consecutively or otherwise) in the charts: Courtney Barnett's Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas (#12) and San Cisco's self-titled debut album (#17) have both hit the 50-week mark, with Ball Park Music's Puddinghead (#18) up to 49 weeks and Thundamentals' So We Can Remember a little further off but in the home stretch at 45 weeks. The John Butler Trio's Flesh & Blood (#16) passed the year mark a couple weeks back; it's now charted for 54 weeks.
Things are a little more sedate as far as first-time Singles entries are concerned, where up-and-coming solo artist Jarryd James stands alone — and strongly — at #2, for Do You Remember?. Sia's Elastic Heart remains atop the pile for another week, while her preceding cut Chandelier is bang-on the 52-week mark on the charts as of this week, and still strong at #4. Amid the otherwise entirely incumbent bracket occupying the rungs this time around, SAFIA find themselves back in the top 20, with You Are The One re-charting at #18.
