A huge congrats to all 100 bands that were in the top 100, but a bit of a Cinderella story had unfolded with Sydney locals Art Vs Science creeping up to number 44 after only emerging on the scene 6 months ago to play Splendor in the Grass.
It just goes to show you never really know whos listening.
Kings Of Leon got two songs in the top 10! With Sex on Fire the Numero Uno
MGMT also with two songs in the top 10 with Electric Feel coming in 2nd
and Empire of the Sun’s Walking on a dream bringing in the Bronze.

The Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) on behalf of the NSW Charter Group is holding a video competition based on the theme – "Why Australia needs Human Rights Protection".
The Video competition marks the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and entrants are judged on how unique their approach to Human Rights is. There is no age limit, there are prizes and it is a great opportunity to perhaps get your music out there and make a music video.
Here is an opportunity for you to explore Human Rights in Australia through music – which has always been a significant factor in Human Rights Activism.
