THE 2ND ANNUAL ARIA MUSIC TEACHER OF THE YEAR SPONSORED BY TELSTRA NOMINEES ANNOUNCED
Today, with just seven weeks to go, the countdown is on for the 2018 ARIA Awards with Apple Music. At the nominations event held earlier at The Art Gallery of New South Wales, ARIA announced the nominees in all categories, with the winners to be revealed at The Star Event Centre, Sydney on Wednesday, 28th November 2018. The Awards Ceremony will be broadcast around Australia on the Nine Network, hosted by Keith Urban.
Highlights of the ceremony included Gurrumul posthumously winning two ARIA Awards for Best World Music Album and Best Cover Art, along with receiving seven nominations. His album “Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow)” debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts, making Australian chart history by becoming the first Indigenous language album to debut at #1.
It was also an exciting day for Gold Coast’s Amy Shark, leading the nominations tally with nine. The singer-songwriter has been nominated for Apple Music Album Of The Year, Best Australian Live Act, Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release, Best Video, Apple Music Song Of The Year, Producer Of The Year, Engineer Of The Year and Best Cover Art. The two time ARIA Award winner has had huge success with her 2x Platinum single “I Said Hi” and her critically acclaimed debut album “Love Monster”, which came in at #1 on the ARIA Album Charts.
Melbourne’s Courtney Barnett follows closely behind with eight nominations for her second studio album “Tell Me How You Really Feel.” Released by her own independent label Milk! Records, it reached #2 on the ARIA Charts and since the release, Barnett has toured her record globally and graced the stages of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Seth Meyers and CBS Saturday Morning.
Celebrated Australian dance trio Pnau were nominated for seven ARIAs for their fifth studio album “Changa”. The album features 4x Platinum single “Chameleon”, plus “Go Bang” which was a Top 10 ARIA single.
Gearing up to head out on a headline US tour, Tash Sultana has commanded world attention with the release of the highly-anticipated debut album “Flow State.” Nominated for six Awards, the ARIA #2 charting album also cracked the top 10 in the Billboard Top Albums Chart at #8 and an impressive #3 on the Billboard Independent Album Chart.
Dean Lewis has today picked up five nominations for this year’s ARIA Awards. The Sydney artist’s 3x Platinum single “Be Alright” spent five consecutive weeks at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart and is currently in it’s eighth week at #1 on the Australian airplay charts. The track has also scored major global radio and playlist support, having been streamed over 175 million times.
Also securing five nominations are 2017’s Apple Music Song Of The Year winners Peking Duk. Nominated for this Award again this year, as well as Best Australian Live Act, Best Dance Release, Best Video and Best Group, their track “Fire” reached Platinum status with over 20 million streams in Australia.
5 Seconds Of Summer and Troye Sivan have both scored four nominations for this year’s ARIAs. 5 Seconds Of Summer’s track “Youngblood” peaked at #1 on the ARIA Charts, spending eight consecutive weeks at the top. Their album “Youngblood” also reached the top of the ARIA Albums Chart. Troye Sivan’s sophomore album “Bloom” peaked at #3, making it Sivan’s highest-charting studio album in his home country.
Today, ARIA welcomes Apple Music back for the 2018 ARIA Awards and confirms their support across two of the event’s most highly-anticipated categories, Song Of The Year and Album Of The Year.

Denis Handlin AO, ARIA Chairman and Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Australia and New Zealand and President, Asia said: “On behalf of the ARIA Board, congratulations to all of today’s winners in the Fine Arts, Artisan & Best Comedy categories. It is a very talented group of artists and creative contributors, and we celebrate their outstanding achievement by winning an ARIA Award in their particular genre or craft.
I would also like to congratulate all of the nominees announced today for the 2018 ARIA Awards with Apple Music. We are excited to offer Australian music fans a truly unique and memorable experience for the 32nd Annual ARIA Award celebrations, together with Apple Music and other partners. We look forward to a wonderful night of awards, music and magic moment performances at The Star Sydney.“
Dan Rosen, ARIA Chief Executive, added: “2018 has been another remarkable year for Australian artists both at home and across the globe. The artists honoured today as winners in the Fine Arts, Artisan and Best Comedy Categories show that the high quality of artistic achievement in the Australian music scene is spread across a wide range of genres.
The Artisan Award winners exemplify that hard work, innovation and creativity is not limited to those who play the music but also those who contribute to the recordings behind the scenes. It is also with great excitement and anticipation that we look forward to November 28 when we reveal the winners of the remaining categories and bring more ARIA magic moments to the stage.”
Slava Grigoryan took out the title in the Best Classical Album category for “Bach Cello Suites Volume II”. This marks Grigoryan’s fourth win from 17 ARIA nominations, either on his own or as a member of the Grigoryan Brothers or shared with other artists, and follows up his win for Best Classical Album for “Bach Cello Suites Volume I” in 2017.
Best World Music Album was won by Gurrumul for his posthumously released album “Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow).” The album, presenting traditional songs from his Yolngu life, was his first #1 ARIA album, making him only the second Indigenous artist to have a number one album.
Bridie and Wyatt from Tonightly with Tom Ballard were awarded the 2018 ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release for “Sex Pest.”
It was the release “Animarum” by Jonathan Zwartz that received the 2018 ARIA award for Best Jazz Album. Four years on from his last album “The Remembering and Forgetting of the Air”, this marked his second ARIA award nomination and the first win for this well-respected jazz artist.
