Editor Katie Watkin's -19/04/22

Australian alternative rock band’s INXS kick another chart milestone with The Very Best..

According to the latest ARIA Albums Chart, the best-of enters it's 375 week in the Top 50, and a whopping 500 non-consecutive weeks in the Top 100. The 20-song set lifts 60-49, on the national survey for the week of April 4, 2022,.

INXS 500-week feat “is an absolutely phenomenal achievement, even if you happen to be one of the greatest and most iconic bands Australia has ever seen,” comments Annabelle Herd, CEO of ARIA, in a statement.

“500 weeks is an incredible honor and just shows the appreciation of such an incredible album,” adds Andrew Daw, executive VP, international marketing at UMe, Universal Music Group’s global catalog company.

The presence of the band’s late manager Chris Murphy “is always felt on all the bands projects, and we are proud to passionately continue his work,” he continues.

Released 11 years ago, the hits collection features such classics as “Never Tear Us Apart,” “Original Sin” and “What You Need.” Along the way, the collection ruled the national tally for seven weeks, came in at No. 1 on ARIA’s End Of Decade Australian Albums Chart and, in November 2020, was awarded ARIA “Diamond” status, for combined sales in-excess of 500,000 in Australia.

With the latest milestone in the books, Herd thanks the band for “their enormous contribution to the Australian recording industry.”

INXS have also released an immersive new mix of their album ‘Kick’, which turns 35 this year – watch band members Tim Farriss and Kirk Pengilly plus engineer Giles Martin talk who recently spoke NME about the new version.

Released on April 4 on Apple Music and Itunes, the latest version of ‘Kick’ was mixed by Giles Martin in Dolby ATMOS.

Martin, the son of influential Beatles producer George Martin, has also mixed the Fab Four and Rolling Stones in the spatial audio format.

It’s also not this first time working on a fresh mix of ‘Kick’, remixing the album in 2017 for a cinematic experience to mark the album’s 30th anniversary.
