Out 2 Lunch Festival postponed until 2027 amid cost pressures
This yearâs Out 2 Lunch Festival officially postponed until 2027.
However, organisers say current cost-of-living pressures, combined with broader economic uncertainty and fuel supply challenges, have made it increasingly complex to deliver the event to a high standard.
Olivia Dean has replaced herself at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart, her collaboration with Sam Fender âRein Me Inâ displacing âMan I Needâ at the top.
Next week we could see an Olivia knock an Olivia off top spot, Olivia Rodrigo having dropped her comeback song âDrop Deadâ today.
Deanâs album âThe Art of Lovingâ remains in top spot on the Albums chart.
Iâll give it a week
Dracula by Time Impala (including a version with JENNIE) #2 in the UK and #17 in the US this week.
Also, #1 Germany, #2 Greece, #3 Slovakia & Latvia.
And whatâs the bet that theyâll convert more stores to the Home format where there is no physcial media?
ARIA Charts Update
Singles: Olivia has knocked Olivia off top spot, with âdrop deadâ by Olivia Rodrigo debuting at number one.
Olivia Dean takes up the top three with âMan I Needâ at number two, and last weekâs chart-topping collaboration with Sam Fender âRein Me Inâ dropping to number three.
Albums: Deanâs âThe Art of Lovingâ remains in top spot.
We were talking a while ago about how Zara Larsson has an old song Lush Life back at the top of hhe charts around the world but in Australia because ARIA changed the rules for old music to be included in the current chart.
Thatâs fine. But why have Justin Bieber/Nicki Minaj been allowed to make a return to the top of the Australian chart this week with old song Beauty And A Beat?
Basically the rule allows a significant cultural moment - here Coachella, and the song needs to be played enough to reach the Top 30, which is why it didnât chart last week.
This is from ARIA
-
Special provisions have been introduced allowing older tracks experiencing renewed popularity to re-enter the ARIA Main Charts for a short window. This is to make sure we celebrate viral moments, major sync placements, or significant anniversaries that drive renewed success for music and deserve celebration.
-
The special provision allowing older titles to re-enter the ARIA Main Charts are:
-
If the title has not appeared in the Top 100 for at least 10 years
-
Upon label request and sufficient activity for a Top 30 or higher placement
-
Eligible titles can remain on the Main Charts for up to 10 weeks
-
Thanks for that.
Wow! So many rules and exceptions. Itâs crazy. ![]()
