I can’t stand his voice. Grates me.

His voice doesn’t match his age nor appearance (if you get what I mean), but I actually like the song too, although am not a fan of his other tunes.
Also while I’m here, a fan of Miley’s new hit, back to her roots and catchy. Also enjoyed that Becky Hill song a year back, but I’m usually old school, Gold 104.3 all the way

Can I ask which song are you talking about here?
While her music has received a lot of radio airplay in Australia, only two songs of hers have even charted (“Remember” with David Guetta in August last year and “Lose Control” with Meduza and Goodboys towards the end of 2019).
She definitely deserves to chart much better than that.

The album is now officially out in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. It drops at midnight in each region around the world, meaning it’ll be 11:00am AEST when it is officially released in the UK.
I’ve heard it from start to finish and it’s quite impressive

OneRepublic are performing in Sydney tonight but due to a prior commitment on my end (Supercars in Newcastle to be exact) I couldn’t make it.

It’s news.com.au. They thrive off scummy clickbait headlines like this.

People just don’t get an April Fools prank.
‘Hell’: Commuters rage at Spotify’s ‘joke’:
Streaming platform Spotify’s April Fool’s Day joke has enraged commuters. On April 1, Spotify announced that commuters could connect to trains’ Bluetooth - so everyone in their carriage could listen to their music and podcasts.
“We know daylight savings = darker commutes. Connect your Bluetooth to this carriage speaker and brighten up the journey for those around you,” an advertisement slapped across a train read.
It looked very legit. Spotify posted the news on Facebook, and commuters raged immediately. There were more than 4000 comments on Facebook and there was also a viral Twitter thread about the move. Quickly the comments spiralled into chaos, with people venting about how much they’d hate this - not realising it was a prank.

The track listing for So Fresh: The Hits of Autumn 2023 has dropped.
At just 15 tracks I think this is one of the shortest So Fresh compilations in recent memory; probably reflects how mediocre (if I can say that) the recent music has been.
To be honest I’m quite surprised “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus isn’t on it, though (I think) she is signed to Sony Music, whose artists are eligible to be included on these compilations.

It’s quite a sad state of affairs really. There was a time when Aussie music dominated the charts in Australia. ARIA Charts posts videos of top 10s from the past on Instagram and this week they did 31 May 1992.
That week saw four Aussie hits in the top 10:
10. Shakespear’s Sister - Stay
9. Michael Jackson - In The Closet
8. Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge
6. Frente - Ordinary Angels (Clunk EP)
5. Rockmelons feat. Deni Hines - That Word (L.O.V.E.)
4. Euphoria - One In A Million
3. Kris Kross - Jump
2. Mr. Big - To Be With You
1. Girlfriend - Take It From Me
Last week in the ARIA Top 50 there were only two old songs from Kid Laroi lingering at 37 and 47.
