Sydney producer Beth Yen has become the first solo female artist to top the ARIA club chart since 2012.
The UK-born DJ's single Ocean (featuring The Baroness), which The Music premiered last month, has taken out top spot and dethroned dance heavyweight Calvin Harris' Giant after debuting on the chart at #25 four weeks ago.
Yen is also just the fourth solo female artist to hit top spot on the chart, following Helena (Girl From The Sky), Zoe Badwi (Release Me) and Sarah McCleod (He Doesn't Love You).
"This is not just a win for me but a win for LGBTIQ+ women and men in the dance music industry," Yen said.
"I hope that this inspires anyone, especially women contemplating getting involved in electronic dance music to get out there and find a way just to do it. The music industry is listening and ready for you all."
