For six consecutive weeks, the ARIA Top 40 has been devoid of Australian songs, a concerning trend for the local music industry. Despite the success of Aussie acts like Slowly Slowly and Vance Joy, who have made it to the Top 10 ARIA Albums Chart, the singles chart remains elusive. This drought has sparked concerns about the future of Australian music on the charts, with many calling for greater support for local talent. With the Australian music scene boasting a rich history of producing talented artists, it's time to shine a spotlight on homegrown acts and get them back on the charts. Popular music streaming platforms can play a crucial role in promoting Australian music and ending this drought.
