Amyl The Sniffers, Flume Rüfüs Du Sol Lead The Stacked ARIA Award Noms This Year

The nominations for the 2022 ARIA Awards are in and the competition’s looking mighty stiff. House kings RÜFÜS DU SOL lead this year’s noms with a whopping seven nods while Melb punks Amyl & The Sniffers and bleep bloop boy Flume follow closely with six nominations each. Baker Boy, Vance Joy and The Kid LAROI have also nabbed five ARIA nominations apiece and it really sounds like this year’s awards are going to be a hot contest. Who will clean up all the pointy plaques this year? Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion is set to be the stage for the first ARIA Awards with a live crowd since 2019. The Aussie music industry’s night of nights will be hosted by national icon Natalie Imbruglia and an elite shitposter with the voice of an angel, Lewis Capaldi

Had the pleasure of teaching some American radio hosts the words nonce, minge and clunge today

Unfortunately, by their criteria, this is correct. Artists/releases have to chart on the ARIAs for them to be eligible. Obviously that has to change tho because we’ve seen some of the best R&B/soul been made these last few yrs in Aus since forever. We need to see that recognised

The post Amyl & The Sniffers, Flume & Rüfüs Du Sol Lead The Stacked ARIA Award Noms This Year appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

. Honestly  ready for this energy to hit prime time telly later next month. Amyl & The Sniffers, Baker Boy, Gang Of Youths, King Stingray and RÜFÜS DU SOL are all up for the biggest ARIA award of the night — Album Of The Year — highlighting all the stellar records coming out of Australia in the last 12 months. But one of the categories and its nominated artists has drawn a bit of flack this year. Typically each of the 27 ARIA award categories is made up of five nominations but keen eyes noticed the “Best Soul/R&B Release” only has four artists vying for the win. “We go on and on daily about the strength of the domestic R&B scene and how the talent (particularly female) is world class,” one critic said. “And they can’t even find a fifth nominee?” Producer and taste-maker  noted that artists can only be nominated if they’ve cracked the ARIA chart that year. So perhaps the real issue here is more the lack of recognition or breakthrough Australian R&B and soul artists are having on the local music charts. The 2022 ARIA Awards will be broadcast live around Australia on Thursday, November 24 and you can tune in on Channel 9, 9Now and YouTube. Check out the full list of nominations below and , if that’s your thing.
