For the first time since 2014, three Australian albums have taken out the top three placings on the ARIA chart.
Melbourne duo Vika & Linda's Akilotoa (Anthology 1994-2006) has debuted at #1 on the Albums list, followed by Fremantle outfit Spacey Jane's debut effort, Sunlight, at #2 and The McClymonts' Mayhem To Madness at #3.
The last time the feat was achieved was back in August 2014 - Angus & Julia Stone at #1, One Day Crew at #2 and Sticky Fingers at #3.
With their #1 debut, Vika & Linda have also become the first local sister-duo to top the ARIA Albums chart.
"Congratulations to Vika and Linda Bull, who have been enduring and unique voices in Australian music for over 30 years. For a career that has covered so many styles, collaborations and albums, it seems long overdue for them to be rewarded with ARIA #1 album," ARIA CEO Dan Rosen said.
“I also want to congratulate Spacey Jane and The McClymonts, who make up our all Aussie top three In this week’s Album Chart. What an incredible week for new Australian music.
"The three artists are from different backgrounds, different generations and play different styles. It highlights the diversity of our local music scene, a scene that continues to create incredible music that resonates with fans around the country.”
Over on the Singles chart DaBaby's Rockstar has held onto top spot for a fifth week , however Aussie music fans should keep an eye on Sydney-born rapper The Kid Laroi with his track, GO, featuring late US artist Juice WRLD.
The song has debuted on the list at #23 and #3 on the Australian Artist Singles list, only behind Sam Fischer's The City and Tones & I's Dance Monkey.
