Most of the ARIA Nominess we can hear on Triple J and Double J as their Not Mainstream Artists.
Why are you stating the obvious? 
Of Course, Why?
Because we all know they’re played on Triple J or Double J. Here’s a tip. The CHR stations don’t play a lot of Aussie music and therefore don’t play many ARIA award nominees. 
Actually a lot of the nominees are played on commercial radio, its only a few like the country and heavy metal singers that aren’t played.
