January is set to be large and (mostly) Australian. Australian music month commences on Monday with five days of Australians being inducted into my excellence in Australian music.
Like back in 2014 when I shone the light on Australians like Jagwar Ma, Birds of Tokyo & Karnivool, Vance Joy & Matt Corby, The Preatures, Elizabeth Rose + Flight Facilities & finally Cut Copy.
Then from Monday 11 January over ten working days you will find out the ten Australian Album of the Year nominated albums.
On Australia Day the Australian Album of the Year will be revealed and shortly after the second part in my Hottest 200 songs of 2015. Who will be Number One?
Now in an Australian/UK music moment, it's the current #1 song that is Australian (sort of) in origin. It's the amazing Chet Faker and Marcus Marr, from their EP Work which is killing it on the radio, commercially "The Trouble with Us" and Triple J "Learning for Your Love".
Tomorrow you will find out if Chet Faker, Snakehips or DJ Snake takes out the first number 1 for 2016, it's the final Sunday Countdown before the Fresh Friday Countdown will commence Friday 8 January.
2016 is going to be an exciting new year in music, locally and internationally, so here is the one place to see regular posts and if you like Australian music, this month is for you.
