A Community to talk about Music from the Australian perspective.
Telling stories of Australia through music.
With few exceptions, Australian acts are permitted to have one hit in the US charts, then fall out of the international limelight.
Those acts however often have lots of other cool songs!
There are also several Australian acts that just aren't famous globally.

Listen friend, I just turned 42 (if that counts). There were very few, what I would call, 'bangers' in the 100. The point I was trying to make was; there were more Aussies than internationals, and I don't think a Chinese app influenced it all that much.
It's more the format of tiktok favours a certain type of song. And because tiktok is how many young folk discover and connect with new music, we saw many of those type of songs charting.
