Iconic Australian rock band, INXS have made chart history and celebrate a major milestone on their 44th anniversary. INXS – The Very Best has now cumulatively remained in the ARIA top 100 albums chart for a nine-year run (468 non-consecutive weeks) – more than any album in the current top 100; seven of those weeks have been spent at #1. This week the album comes in at #33.
ARIA CEO, Annabelle Herd said “Huge congratulations are in order for INXS, Petrol and UMG after achieving the ARIA Diamond Award for The Very Best Of. It comes as no surprise that the pinnacle of record accreditation has been achieved by one of the country’s most adored and iconic acts. On behalf of ARIA, and as a lifelong fan, I want to thank INXS for their immense contribution to Australian music and their significant role in skyrocketing our industry’s recognition on the global stage.”
