More Seth Sentry More Seth Sentry

Acclaimed Aussie hip hop artist Seth Sentry has emerged with the week's highest Single debut on the Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts, stepping out comfortably inside the top 10, at #7, with new cut Hell Boy.

Sentry's debut comes in a solid stretch ahead of fellow new entrants Safia, whose You Are The One makes the cut at #18, though they're also doing gangbusters with previous single Counting Sheep, at #5 for another week. However, the highest overall debut goes to the Hillsong-like Planetshakers, who make a particularly strong entry on the Albums ladder — the only such appearance this week — at #4, with new full-length Outback Worship Sessions.

On the incumbent landscape, chart queen Sia regains back-to-back entries on the Singles line-up, with Big Girls Cry (#2), Elastic Heart (#3) and Chandelier (#4) converging this week to fill out the meat of the top five as Hermitude step up a spot to claim #1 with The Buzz, featuring Mataya and Young Tapz.

The album from which Sia's raft of successful singles has come, 1000 Forms Of Fear, remains atop the Albums top 20 for another week, with respective silver and bronze medallists Courtney Barnett (Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit) and Flight Facilities (Down To Earth) unmoved from their positions. However, West Australian indie darlings San Cisco drop a rung to #5 to let in the Planetshakers debut.

It's a solid week for new life breathed into old faces, too, with re-entries going to Sticky Fingers (twice — Land Of Pleasure is back at #6, while Caress Your Soul re-enters at #8), Courtney Barnett (The Double EP, #13) and Seth Sentry, whose This Was Tomorrow returns at #20 to mark its 106th week on the chart.
