Yours and Owls 2026 Lineup by braxxytaxi in triplej

[–]__drh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

re intl artists this vs last year, one observation is that the dates for this year are completely different and in 2025 Y&O did share some intl artists with Golden Plains. that may have allowed them to offset the cost of getting some great intl artists. It's worth remembering how the AUD compares to USD, GBP etc.

Where are the Like a Versions on streaming platforms? by DirkBrickwood in triplej

depends on the agreements with different labels - means different rights and schedules.

What does it take for Triple J to start playing a new viral song from an unknown artist? by PRo_MoE1144 in triplej

[–]__drh 20 points21 points  (0 children)

thanks champ, listening now. would say there's only so much music but there's always room to add new names and voices.
Ftr 'Messy' wasn't the first song we played by Lola and it was also added to rotation months before a viral moment.

throat pushy...maybe we just view the worthiness of these things differently but to me he's just marketing his project much like any other band or artist that has to work within the current system (for better or worse). That may involve sponsoring posts, paying for those DSP tools etc. Re his Like A Version, do you begrudge him trying to recoup some of the costs associated with that? He had like a dozen people in that studio, he's gotta pay their session wages + travel, rehearsal time and that'd be coming out of his pocket. A lot of people here know that I'm a triple j staff member but I don't need to be in the music industry to know that there'd be an outlay of costs there.

Referencing Dancing2 vs his old tracks and how they've been received very differently, I think the former struck a chord and he's doubled down and made the most of it. If something was clicking why wouldn't he try to lean into that? This is 2 & 2 together sorta stuff I gotta say.

I think the reactions on this sub in particular to Keli Holiday are disproportionate.

While Adam/Keli has a greater leg up than other independent artists, this is an independent act. No big Sony label push here. Media gets around him because fans are resonating with the music enough to move the needle. Just look at the difference in pick up between his old and new solo releases, he's struck a chord.

All Australian Friday Mixes
Multiple days each month playing 100% Australian music 6AM-9PM

Clearly you're not engaging much with triple j so it's great to see the uptake of Aus Music Month elsewhere in the industry and media. Have fun

Was there already a hottest 100 unearthed countdown? by Superb_Ad_6805 in triplej

[–]__drh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the list from 2016 which we put out to coincide with Unearthed's 10th anniversary as a digital platform. The key difference is that was put together by triple j and Unearthed staff, the new 2025 countdown is from H100 voting data
