ARIA charts to boot old hits from top 40
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. The old hits you love by Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Fleetwood Mac and more will be booted off the top 50 in the biggest shake-up of the ARIA charts in the streaming era. In an attempt to flush more new music into the top 50 albums and singles, and the top 20 Australian Artist leaderboards, ARIA will unveil dramatically new-look charts in September. Under the revised criteria, those four charts will only feature music released within the last two years. So bye bye to all the Taylor Swift records except The Tortured Poets Department, Sheeran's Divide and Fleetwood Mac's 1977 classic Rumours, which has been rusted onto the top 50 for 403 weeks. Those country hits by Luke Combs and Zach Byran which have hung around for years will also get punted from the main charts. The Killers classic hit Mr Brightside will find a new chart home after 20 years. Picture: Tony Gough All the greatest hits compilations that have been on the charts consistently since their release forever will disappear, including Eminem's Curtain Call (402 weeks) and Elton John's Diamonds (336 weeks). The Australian Artist top 20 singles would look wildly different if the changes came in this week, with 13 songs given the boot including Vance Joy's unrelenting Riptide which has spent 360 weeks on the chart. The old stuff will now migrate to new charts called ARIA On Replay. ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said the changes are an attempt to remove barriers to new music from Australian and international artists busting into the top 50 or the top 20 local artist charts. Vance Joy's Riptide will finally retire from the main charts after a decade. Picture: Jonathan Ng She said it meant the freshest tunes and records will no longer have to compete with all the music ever made which is readily available on demand via streaming. 'What are you gonna do when you're competing with all of the world's best music ever released, as people have said you're competing with the Beatles or Coldplay or whoever, and it just means that the chart stays pretty stagnant, week to week,' she said. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY The Australian music industry has been struggling to reignite the appetite for homegrown music as reflected by the lack of local releases on the ARIA charts, which measure music consumption via streaming, downloads and sales of physical formats including vinyl and CD. The 2024 end of year charts featured only five Aussie singles including Riptide and three albums with The Kid Laroi's The First Time the only new studio record. Herd said ARIA spent a year reviewing the charts before introducing the two-year cut-off criteria; similar rules exist in France and New Zealand. Fleetwood Mac's rusted-on Rumours album will migrate to ARIA On Replay chart. Picture:. 'We are working on getting more Australians listening to Australian music. Everybody around the world is listening to Australian music in huge numbers which is fantastic, and I'm very confident that is going to translate into more Australians listening to local music,' she said. 'I think as soon as the change is made you'll see more Australian artists in those charts.' There is one exception for classic hits making the top 50 if they enjoy a viral moment, such as Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill returning to No.1 after it featured on a pivotal episode of Stranger Things in 2022. Black Eyed Peas returned to the top 50 this week with their 2010 song Rock That Body which soundtracks a viral dance trend. Trending vintage songs and albums will make the cut for 10 weeks only, if the title has not appeared in the Top 100 for at least ten years. The Top 50 staying power of Ed Sheeran's Divide album will soon be over. Picture: Jake Nowakowski The longest chart stayers on this week's ARIA top 50 Albums Rumours, Fleetwood Mac (No 21) - 403 weeks Curtain Call: The Hits, Eminem (No 30) - 402 weeks Divide, Ed Sheeran (No 38) - 401 weeks This One's For You, Luke Combs (No 23) - 367 weeks Diamonds, Elton John (No 40) - 336 weeks When We Fall Asleep…, Billie Eilish (No 36) - 306 weeks Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection (No 16) - 289 weeks Lover, Taylor Swift (No 45) - 281 weeks Reputation, Taylor Swift (No 29) - 264 weeks Folklore, Taylor Swift (No 32) - 256 weeks Singles Dreams, Fleetwood Mac (No 33) - 166 weeks Mr Brightside, The Killers (No 46) - 157 weeks Something in the Orange, Zach Bryan (No 39) - 139 weeks Iris, Goo Goo Dolls (No 17) - 88 weeks All The Stars, Kendrick Lamar and SZA (No 25) - 41 weeks Pink Pony Club, Chappell Roan (No 6) - 20 weeks (originally released in 2020) Originally published as Old hit singles and albums to disappear from ARIA top 50 under new rules

Recreational salmon fishing resumes in California this weekend for limited time
After a two-year shutdown, fishing boats will fan out along the California coast angling for Chinook salmon this weekend as recreational fishing resumes under strict limits. Coastal salmon fishing was banned in 2023 and 2024 in an effort to help the population recover after years of declines. While commercial fishing remains canceled for a third consecutive year, fishery regulators recently decided to allow a limited season for recreational fishing on certain dates and with strict quotas. 'We're all very excited,' said William 'Captain Smitty' Smith, who was readying his charter fishing boat Riptide at Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay. 'There's a lot of buzz all around the harbor with everybody getting ready for it.' Smith and his two deckhands have been buying bait and preparing hooks, nets and other gear to take 18 passengers fishing Saturday and Sunday. He said within hours of the April announcement that limited fishing would be allowed, 'my regulars all called and basically filled the boat.' Smith is 71 and has been in the charter boat business for 50 years. The last time he was able to take passengers fishing for salmon was in 2022. As his business has struggled during the last two years, he has turned to other types of outings to make ends meet, including fishing for rockfish, leading whale-watching trips and holding burials at sea where mourners scatter the ashes of loved ones. He said anglers are 'chomping at the bit to go.' Each person will be allowed to catch up to two fish per day. Read more: U.S. panel calls for suspending commercial salmon fishing in California for third year The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is limiting ocean fishing under quotas in two windows in the summer and fall. The first is set to open Saturday-Sunday and allow for up to 7,000 salmon to be caught statewide. If that number of fish isn't reached during the opening weekend, salmon fishing will be allowed until the limit is reached in subsequent stretches, which may include July 5-6, July 31-Aug. 3, and Aug. 25-31. In addition to Half Moon Bay, fishing boats are expected to head out this weekend from other harbors in Central and Northern California such as Morro Bay, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Bodega Bay and Fort Bragg. 'Given the 2-year ocean salmon fishery closure and the short duration of this fishing period, angler participation is expected to be high,' the department said in its announcement. 'Anglers should prepare for crowds and long wait times at public launch ramps and marinas and consider travel, parking, and launch ramp conditions when finalizing plans.' The agency said fishing will reopen in the fall in some regions — including from Point Reyes in Marin County south to near Half Moon Bay, and from there to Point Sur in Big Sur — under a separate harvest limit guideline of 7,500 Chinook salmon. The fishing industry depends on fall-run Chinook, which migrate upstream to spawn from July through December. For decades, government-run hatcheries in the Central Valley have reared and released millions of salmon each year to help boost their numbers. Read more: Salmon populations are struggling, bringing economic woes for California's fishing fleet Other salmon runs have suffered more severe declines. Spring-run Chinook are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and winter-run Chinook are endangered. Biologists say salmon populations have declined because of a combination of factors including dams, which have blocked off spawning areas, the loss of vital floodplain habitats, and global warming, which is intensifying droughts and causing warmer temperatures in rivers. During the severe 2020-22 drought, the water flowing from dams sometimes got so warm that it was lethal for salmon eggs. Although that drought was a major factor behind the declines in the salmon population, those who work in fishing also blame California's water managers and policies, saying too much water has been pumped to farms and cities, depriving rivers of sufficient cold water at the times salmon need it. Smith said he hopes to see 'responsible water management' where state officials prioritize river flows for fish, as well as efforts to restore floodplains and improve hatchery operations. Read more: 'A beautiful thing': Klamath River salmon are spotted far upstream in Oregon after dam removal Because salmon typically feed in the ocean for about three years and then return to their natal streams, the decline in the numbers of surviving juvenile fish during the drought left a reduced population of adult fish. Scientists expect the population should improve somewhat next year because of the boost they received during 2023's historic wet winter, though they also caution that the situation facing California's salmon remains dire. Smith said one change that has nurtured his hopes came last year, when the last of four dams were dismantled on the Klamath River in Northern California, enabling salmon to reach upstream spawning areas that had been sealed off for more than a century. 'I'm very hopeful for our future,' he said, adding that he is thinking about his 13-year-old grandson and the next generation. 'I want there to be a fishery for my grandson. I want him to be able to experience the thrill of catching a fish in the ocean.' This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.
