2016 might have been a questionable year for most, with some of our much loved artists leaving this plane of existence and other not-so-loved entities gaining more power than we are comfortable with, nonetheless it was a fantastic year for music.
Our good buddies at RTRFM have compiled and released a list of their most played tracks of 2016. It’s a great list showcasing local, national and international artists on an even plane.
Here’s some pretty impressive statistics…
- 36 of these 52 tracks (69%) are from WA artists
- Just 2 are from artists based in other parts of Australia
- 22 of these tracks (42%) are from or fronted by female/female-identifying artists
