The Carlton Dry Independent Music Singles chart sees Sia’s Elastic Heart hold #1 for another week. Timmy Trumpet & Chardy’s Hipsta moves up to a new peak of #2 from its debut spot of #3 while Hilltop Hoods’ Cosby Sweater still fights for the top at #3 from #4. At #10 is another track for Hilltop Hoods, a debut from their new single Live And Let Go featuring Maverick Sabre & Brother Ali. One other debut takes place, this one at #18 from Eso (of Bliss N Eso) withSunny Days.
The Radio Play chart sees a similar Top 3 with Elastic Heart holding #1 but a shift between Vance Joy’s Georgia and Peking Duk’s Take Me Over featuring Safia sees the former hit #2 and the latter drop to #3.

The last new entry comes from South African-born AussieEcca Vandal at #17 with Battle Royal.
The Albums chart sees very little notable change.

Dan Sultan’s Blackbird re-enters the Top 10 at #8 from #11 while The Wiggles’ Hot Potatoes! The Best Of The Wiggles sits just outside the Top 10 at #11 from #15.
