Keith Williams, RCS Vice President Asia Pacific said, “Disappointingly there are no Australian songs in the Top 10 most played this year and only 12 songs in the Top 100 of 2015 compared to 20 last year. There are two Australian songs in the Top 20, #14 Vance Joy – Fire & the Flood and #17 Kygo Feat Conrad Sewell – ‘Firestone’ ”.
