I too found Dance Monkey rather annoying and I also kept thinking it won the ARIA Award for the 2019 Single of the Year when it didnât (âChoirâ by Guy Sebastian took out that gong).
I prefer âNever Seen the Rainâ.
To kick off the new year on the ARIA Charts:
- Olivia Dean maintains top spot on both the Singles and Albums chart with âMan I Needâ and âThe Art of Lovingâ, respectively.
- Djoâs âEnd of Beginningâ has reentered the top 50, possibly thanks to the final episode of âStranger Thingsâ.
Same. Usually when a song is popular and I donât like it, I can figure out why most of the time.
Couldnât with that in the slightest.
I like Dance Monkey.
see it got old fast, but at the same time, i was someone who is stuck in the 90s dance music scene, so my opinions might be different lol
The band announced their 2026-27 BTS World tour on January 13, with the Australian leg set to kick off in Melbourne on February 12, 2027.
They will perform four shows in Australia; two in Melbourne and two in Sydney.
Concert dates are as follows:
- Melbourne - Friday, February 12, 2027
- Melbourne - Saturday, February 13, 2027
- Sydney - Friday, February 20, 2027
- Sydney - Saturday, February 21, 2027
The last confirmed concert date before they fly to Australia is slated for Jakarta, Indonesia, on December 27, 2026.
Fans have speculated that could allow the band to announce additional Australian dates for January or early February 2027.
TIL that âMe, Myself & Iâ by Scandalâus (the winners of Popstars Australia 2001) was actually a cover of a song by Excellence (winners of Popstars Sweden in 2000); while it was recorded in 2000 it was never released as a single, though only came to light during a gym scene in Final Desination 5.
Do you need help about choosing songs for an Australia Day Playlist, look no further than my unconventional Australia Day playlist. First we got Peter Allen with Fly Away. Produced by David Foster with Richard Page and Steve George on backing vocals.
Next we got the late Doug Parkinson with âItâs Your Moveâ, this song was later covered by America and then Diana Ross in which it was sampled as âMACINTOSH PLUSâ
And finally, we have the most rock song in this playlist. Used in an ABC ident and an episode of âBetter Call Saulâ Affair of the Heart by Rick Springfield
British superstar Harry Styles has announced heâll return to Australia towards the end of this year as part of his âTogether Togetherâ World Tour.
But as with many recent artists, heâll only be performing in Melbourne and Sydney, with two shows in each city (though there is potential for more shows to be added).
Iâve noticed that - Internation stars underestimate their fan base in Australia.. then need to add shows due to tickets selling quickly.
Exactly reason why everyone applauded Luke Combs for going for the bigger stadiums on his last trip here
Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa and (I think) The Weeknd were among the artists who only played in Sydney and Melbourne while in Australia.
One theory I have is that playing in only those two cities would encourage people from the other three major capitals to travel to Sydney or Melbourne, but then again Brisbane people would be complaining why an artist wouldnât play in their home city.
FWIW while this is the second time in four years that Harry wonât play in Brisbane, he did at least perform on the Gold Coast on his last tour here.
The Wolfe Brothers were a big winner of the night with five awards, including their second album of the year.
Remember when Holly Valance used to be hot?
The top of the iTunes Charts! Lol. Whats that? 30 copies sold? 
There will be a third Melbourne concert on December 2.
DeBĂ TiRAR MĂĄS FOToS by Bad Bunny wins âAlbum of the Yearâ at the 2026 GRAMMYs.
Heâs performing at the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show next week.
It canât be just me who feels like a country artist needs to be at the Superbowl. Surely Luke Combs or Chris Stapleton could do it.
Itâs always ONLY been rap or pop at the Superbowl
