What a year❤️🔥
From launching the ARIA Innovator conference to kicking off ARIA Collab with two world leading producers alongside incredible local acts, to delivering another unforgettable Great Southern Nights and modernising the ARIA Charts, 2025 was about backing local artists and creating real impact.
With major policy wins and a hugely successful 2025 ARIA Awards, we’re proud of what we built together.
Thank you to every artist, partner, venue, and fan who made this year possible.
Bring on 2026 - let’s make it grand. ✨🎶
Vinyl charts this week are bringing a nice mix of live energy and laid-back sound 🎶
#2 @billieeilish – ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT THE TOUR (LIVE)’, a live recording from her tour that captures the feeling of being at the show 🤩
#8 @beddyrays – ‘Sunday Slowdown’, an easy-going track made for relaxed listening.
Which have you been spinning none stop? 💿

Wowowow!!! I finally got to hold these babies in my hands 😆 #1 ARIA AU Album & #1 ARIA Country Album for Who You Are... it all still feels so surreal 🥹
This record exists because of so many amazing people. I cannot say thank you enough to everyone who’s bought the album or streamed it. Getting to release these songs, and playing them live and hearing you sing them back to me is unbelievable... You’re making my dreams come true 🤎
