Starting this month, Australia’s music charts will focus on albums and songs released in the last two years, transitioning away from older releases that had long been taking up space.

It is the biggest change to the ARIA charts since the introduction of streaming figures over a decade ago.

When this new system came into effect last week, a viral hit from Aussie artist Keli Holiday jumped to the top spot on the Australian Singles Chart.

On today’s podcast, we chat with Holiday - whose real name is Adam Hyde - about how it feels to go to number one with an independent release, and what these chart changes mean for the future of the Australian music industry.

Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Lucy Tassell
Producer: Orla Maher
Guest: Adam Hyde aka Keli Holiday
