December 22nd 2016

2016mostplayedartists

50% Australian music, half of that from Sydney. That’s FBi’s promise to you every day of the year. With that in mind, we’re extra excited to share this list of our 100 most played artists of 2016.

Our presenters have gone above and beyond with their commitment to local music, 69 artists are from Australia (in green); 42 are from Sydney (starred*). And the entire top ten are Aussie! With all the incredible talent on this list, it’s not hard to see why.

Special thanks to AMRAP (the Australian Music Radio Airplay Project) for the live playlist system that we use online. They support us every day in our effort to bring you great Australian music!
