K Rock, Hit101.3, Hit106.9 and Sea FM 90.9 led the way with 19 spins each. ‘Dreaming’ is one of 12 songs by Australian artists in the Top 40, the most weekly entries for local artists since November last year.
Also new to the chart is ‘Alibi’ by Ella Henderson ft. Rudimental. Coming in at No. 35, the Hit Network did most of the heavy lifting. KIIS and Nova are yet to jump on the track.
Radio is continuing to embrace Vance Joy’s version of ‘Rock It’, which climbs to a new peak at No. 16. The single rose another three spots this week thanks to strong support from KIIS1065, KIIS1011 and KIIS973.
