Listen

It's the biggest week for Hall of Fame inductions ever! Five in all, and with another
5 artists dropping out this week; Trampled By Turtles, Wilco, Los Campesinos,
Dawes, and Craig Finn it's a massive turnover of talent to freshen up the Chart.
 
We're sharing the #1 with the nation of Australia, not only is Gotye from there but
Triple J, their national public radio station playing new music had its year end poll
The Hottest 100, Jan 26th for Australia Day. Gotye was top and with four entries
The Wombats were the top band overall! (EVEN though they are from the UK!)

St.Vincent was the biggest mover, making another great week for female artists;
Feist, Florence and Polica were new entries and Lana Del Rey was everywhere!
 
Many many thanks to everyone who came to our Birthday shows, what a blast!!
Spontaneous singing of Happy Birthday by the crowd on Saturday was a highlight!
Check out more pictures taken by our crew and a great video by our good friend
Ron Johnson. Cheers. Go Giants!
