Independent Chart Wrap: Hermitude climb high with The Buzz

The Carlton Dry Independent Singles chart sees a very familiar Top 3 this week with Sia’s Big Girls Cry holding #1, Hermitude’s The Buzz featuring Mataya & Young Tapz at #2 and Sia’s Elastic Heart at #3. What So Not’s Gemini hits a new peak at #4 up from #7 while Safia’s Counting Sheep returns to the Top 5 at #5. Two new debuts show their face with Melissa Tkautz’s Gotta Let You Go at #17 and John Butler’s Oceana at #18.

The Radio Play chat sees a leap from one end of the chart to another with Sia’s Big Girls Cry taking #1 up from #20. At #3 is a new entry from Hermitude’s The Buzz featuring Mateya & Young Tapz with more debuts following at #5 with Art Vs Science’s In This Together, #7 with High-Tails’ Information and Miami Horror’s Love Like Mine at #9. Ben Wright Smith’s No One hits a new peak at #11 from #18 as does Tiger Choir’s Shani at #12 from #19. Two other debuts enter in the lower spectrum of the chart with Courtney Barnett’s Dead Fox at #18 and Ta-Ku’s Love Again at #19.

The Albums chart still has Sia and Courtney Barnett holding the Top 2 with 1000 Forms Of Fear and Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit. Flight Facilities’ Down To Earth bumps back up to #3, no doubt benefiting from their recent appearance at Groovin The Moo. Earth Caller’s Degenerate debuts at #6 followed by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Quarters! At #8. Two other debuts take place outside the Top 10 with Patrice Tipoki’s A Musical Heart at #12 and Ry’s Ivory Coast at #16.
