QUEENSLAND singer-songwriter Amy Shark finished her first week at the top of ARIA's albums with her first album Love Monster putting an end to the two weeks of Canadian rapper Drake
Shark received the ARIA No.1 plaque behind the scenes of the Splendor in the Grass festival yesterday at North Byron Parklands, just before the Gold Coast musician's performance on the main stage. The first place on the stage at the festival made this moment memorable.
"I would never have thought, in a million years, that I would have a number, an album," she said The Sunday Mail exclusively before her performance.
"I've tried not to put that big wait on myself, I really think the album is worth it, and it's just that I'm biased. [19659003] "If I was not number one, I would never throw myself to the ground and have a fit, but it's so beautiful To finish this adventure of putting this album together, playing the main stage at this amazing festival. "
Shark first played Splendor in the Grass last year, and before the performance of yesterday told Sunday Mail to be shocked by the turnout for his ensemble at the smallest GW McLennan Stage at the 2017 event.
"This was not the last time slot, and the tent was lifting up and it was an incredible feeling", she remembers
"That's what any artist wants to see, it's everyone I'm really happy to see you, it just makes you want to put on the best show possible.
"I'm really lucky to do it a second year, and I have new songs that people appreciate." 19659013] Splendor in Grass Fashion 2018

"It's going to be a special moment, especially to be on the main stage – I've never been played main stage, I do not think so. "
Shark admitted to still having" the right amount of nerve "before his performance, but said that the rating of No.1 gave him extra confidence. " People obviously love the album, it's obvious now, so I'm going there thinking that people want to hear that – I asked her how she was going to celebrate that feat – which is a follow-up to some weeks of grueling promotional tasks – Shark said that she was counting on "relaxing and having a drink, hanging out with my team" "
Sony's CEO Australia and New Zealand, Dennis Handlin, s & # "Is absolutely delighted" with Shark's success.
" Love Monster is an amazing body of work that showcases the extraordinary talent of Amy," he said
"I could not be more proud – she is an incredible storyteller, an exceptional musician and a beautiful person. "
