The latest ARIA top 100 lists for 2024 have sparked concern that Australians are losing interest in local music. Despite Cold Chisel's successful Big Five-O tour, their compilation album 50 Years - The Best Of only reached No.44 on the charts. The Kid Laroi's debut record The First Time also failed to make a significant impact, raising questions about the future of Australian music in the global market. With the rise of international artists, it seems Aussie music fans are turning to global sounds, such as pop music and hip-hop, for their entertainment. Will homegrown talent regain its footing in 2024?
