IDOLTHREAT Australian Top 20 of 2019
Seems like a good day for a countdown
This is the seventh year I’ve put together this list; each year there’s an International List and an Australian list, and this right here is the Australian list.
2019 was an important year for Australian music, with new artists grabbing the attention of the nation ahead of established artists. The next generation of Australian music is here, and the Aussie music scene is in very good hands.
