Darlinghurst summits the TMN Country Hot 50 airplay chart
Darlinghurst have secured their second chart-topping single.
The independent Australian four-piece, signed to Helium Records, summits the TMN Country Hot 50 powered by Radio Monitor this week with ‘Gotta Go Rodeo’.
The track had strong support from radio out of the gates, with spins from ABC Country, Kix Country and Triple M Country all pushing the track to #1 in its fifth week at radio.
It’s Darlinghurst’s fourth single to go Top 5 on the official country airplay chart. The Melbourne-based band recorded their first #1 – ‘Sorry Won’t Get You Back’ – in September 2019.
“To score a #1 chart on our debut blew our minds. Then to watch, sort of stunned, as the next two singles climbed into the Top 5 was such a blast,” vocalist Cassie Leopold said.
“To now wake up to the news that ‘Gotta Go Rodeo’ has hit #1 on the chart is just gobsmacking.”
Local artists have enjoyed in impressive run atop the country airplay chart this year, with fellow Aussies Cass Hopetoun, Brad Cox, The McClymonts, Casey Barnes, The Wolfe Brothers, Travis Collins and Melanie Dyer all summiting the Country Hot 50 since January.
Tracks to crack the Top 10 this week are Keith Urban & Pink with ‘One Too Many’ (#10), Luke Combs’ with ‘Lovin’ On You’ (#9), Southbound ft. Shannon Noll with ‘Find Our Way’ (8) and Lee Brice with ‘One Of Them Girls’ (#7).
There are also a handful of new arrivals this week, with debuts from Casey Barnes, Lady Antebellum, Little Quirks, Chase Rice, Melinda Schneider and Carrie Underwood.
Over on the TMN Hot 100, Joel Corry and MNEK’s ‘Head & Heart’ on Universal Music remains the #1 song at Australian radio this week as rival Sony Music clocks another blockbuster week of record market share – 42.61% of the Hot 100 and 46.90% of the Hot 40.
