Maybe they need to be better?
Itâs more than that though. They are fighting an uphill battle when they canât cut through to be heard. Aussie artists often sell out venues when they perform live but wonât get played on radio. Itâs ridiculous.
Korean artists are having more success on the Australian charts than Aussies. I think the Australian government should create something like the Korean government did with its Korean Culture Ministry which in the past ten years has seen an explosion of success in music, movies, tv shows and games.

Well you canât do something like Cancon where you mandate a percentage of all media comes from within. I know we have something similar here but itâs rarely enforced.
Try to enforce that on a streaming service and either theyâll up the prices to ensure we follow said content, OR theyâll pull out of the country.
One thing that MIGHT help is to make the 20% quotas apply in each of the 6 hourly blocks eg. 20% in each of 6am-12pm, 12pm - 6pm etc so that it canât be dumped into late nights like Triple M does.

Sadly, theyâre all doing that. Nova, KIIS, 2Day.

There will probably be a future pretty soon where we generate our own music via AI, so ârealâ artists may become a thing of the past to a degree.

Itâs AI - we can stretch virtual you to 3-4 minutes.
Found this gem - Dr. Talk by Jerry Springer - the full album!
Surprised that Kylie performed on American Idol.

Her most notable song in Australia is âBetter Daysâ on which sheâs featured with NEIKED and Polo G.
Give it a few months and radio stations here might start picking up âI Wrote a Songâ, which I also really like.

I saw this âdisclessâ music box at JB Hi Fi the other day - Lordeâs new album âSolar Powerâ.
First time Iâve seen something like this to NOT include a CD (or DVD).
At $31.99, itâs nearly double the price of the album on iTunes ($16.99).
For your other $15, you get a fold out poster, card set and 2 extra songs not on the iTunes album version.
But in store (as below), it looks a bit too much like a CD⌠even though itâs got labels on it saying there is no CD, they probably should have made it a different size to make it look less like a CD.

Given the commercial success both her debut single âdrivers licenseâ and album âSourâ achieved worldwide I would not be surprised if this hits #1 in Australia.
