The Kid LAROI, Sia, Troye Sivan and Dom Dolla have made the Australian Music Global Impact List on Spotify Australia.
The list, the first to consider a full year of streaming, recognises the Top 30 tracks from Australian artists with the biggest global impact on Spotify over 2023 (eligibility limited to tracks released between Jan 1 and December 31, 2023).
Sia leads the list with Gimme Love, the first single from her anticipated 10th album, Reasonable Woman, set for release this year. In second place is Thundercat and Tame Impala with No More Lies.
The Kid LAROI, 20, not only takes the third spot with I Can’t Go Back To The Way It Was (Intro) but has emerged as Australia’s dominant music export of 2023 with five entries on the list.
Two more of his hits – I GUESS IT’S LOVE? at #5 and collab with US rapper Lil Tjay 2 Grown at #9 – have made the streaming platform’s Top 10 list.
Singer-songwriter Clinton Kane makes the list’s Top 10 while Troye Sivan scored three placings, the highest being One Of Your Girls at #6, followed by Rush in the 10th spot.
GRAMMY nominated producer Dom Dolla also nabbed three spots after a breakout 2023, taking #16 with Saving Up and Rhyme Dust with MK in #18.
Other Australian artists who had staying power internationally across 2023 were Luude, Ruel, Lithe, Go-Jo and Spacey Jane.
Alicia Sbrugnera, head of music at Spotify Australia, said the 2023 Spotify Australian Music Global Impact List provides a snapshot of local artists are having an impact on the global stage with a mix of established and emerging artists.
“We’re proud to be playing our part in helping Australia on its journey to becoming a significant exporter of music, as well as helping prove that making it big in international markets is a legitimate path to career growth and success for local artists.”
