Kylie and 5 Seconds Of Summer are getting a retrospective Australian chart 'gong'

  • May 27, 2014
  • Brad O'Mance

Kylie MinogueKylie Minogue and various other Australian chart-toppers have been awarded a 'gong' ret­ro­spect­ively as part of chart compiler ARIA's decision to celebrate chart success more tangibly.

Basically, in a direct copy of the PR-friendly decision made a couple of years ago by the UK's official charts company, as of now if you get to the top of the singles or album chart you'll get an award for your troubles, but if you happen to be Australian and you've topped either chart since January 2013 you'll get one retrospectively.

So as well as Kylie, some of the other people to get one include 5 Seconds Of Summer and Popjustice favour­ites Karnivool.

Poor Dannii.

There's a gallery of people holding their awards right here.
