Top-Ten Debut For Flight Facilities On Carlton Dry Indie Charts

Sydney-bred electro-whizzes Flight Facilities have scored the highest debut for either a single or album release on this week's Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts with their new track Two Bodies, featuring Brissy chanteuse Emma Louise, picking up a top-ten entry at #7.

Dance-scene contemporaries Knife Party also make an inaugural appearance in the singles stakes this week, with Resistance snagging a #14 debut, as venerated singer-songwriter Missy Higgins makes it three singles holding consecutive spots on the ladder — the newly arrived No Secrets claimed #19, with her previous releases The Way You Are Tonight and Back To The Wall occupying #17 and #18 respectively.

Higgins isn't the only artist who's managed to fill up back-to-back slots this week, however — hip-hop mainstays the Hilltop Hoods took out the ninth and tenth rankings for Won't Let You Down and Cosby Sweater, and perenially unmovable troubadour Vance Joy remains steadfastly solid with Mess Is Mine (#4) and Riptide (#5) helping him occupy 40 percent of the top five spots. He was beaten out by the same songs that have occupied the top three rungs for several weeks now — Timmy Trumpet's Freaks(#1), Sheppard's Geronimo (#2), and Sia's Chandelier (#3).

It was a similarly lukewarm week for full-length entries, with the only new arrival coming from New South Welsh electronic heroes Seekae, with their newest album The Worry claiming a respectable #12 on entry. Otherwise, it's all familiar faces (eighteen of the top 20 entrants are now previous top-four placeholders) as Jimmy Barnes retakes pole position with 30:30 Hindsight, Vance Joy's Dream Your Life Away slips to #2, and the Hilltop Hoods (Walking Under Stars), Kingswood (Microscopic Wars) and Sia (1000 Forms of Fear) respectively filling out the remainder of the top five.

We did, however, see a handful of re-entries into the chart this week — Higgins' The Sound Of White has popped back up in the top 20 at #17, Violent Soho's Hungry Ghost has returned to take #18, and RUFUS' Atlas has popped back into the upper echelons to claim #20 for the week.
