The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) today announced that after over 12 months of modelling and consideration to determine how best to promote the dynamism of new music consumption and remove barriers for new Australian music, important updates to the ARIA Charts calculation methodology will take effect from 1 September 2025.From September, the ARIA Main Charts (Singles and Albums) and the Australian Artist Singles and Albums Charts will focus exclusively on music released within the last two years, while the ARIA On Replay Charts will showcase titles released more than two years ago.The changes will be implemented after the close of the 2025 ARIA Awards eligibility period to avoid impacting this year’s nominees.&nbsp;Key Chart Updates:• ARIA Main Charts to feature only releases within two years of their release date• Introduction of new ARIA On Replay Charts for releases older than two years• Special provision allowing older titles to re-enter ARIA Main Charts to reflect major viral moments or syncs for older tracks:<ul><li>o If the title has not appeared in the Top 100 for at least ten years</li><li>o Upon label request and sufficient activity for a Top 30 or higher placement</li><li>o Eligible titles can remain on the Main Charts for up to ten weeks</li></ul>&nbsp;ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said: “These updates ensure the ARIA Charts continue to evolve in step with the listening habits of Australian music fans. We’re creating clear space to spotlight exciting new music while recognising the lasting impact and relevance of timeless classics through our ARIA On Replay Charts. Our aim is to support the discovery and celebration of great Australian music at every stage of its life.”ARIA will host an ARIA Talks session at 11am today to further discuss the changes and the process involved in and answer industry queries.
