| Lime  Cordiale and The Kid LAROI take out the very first awards for  Australian #1 Album and Australian #1 Single this week, as ARIA  introduces two new trophies to shine an even greater light on homegrown  success. 
 On taking out the inaugural award for Australian #1 Album, Lime Cordiale said:
 "We're seriously proud to take home the first official  Australian #1 Album Award. We think It's awesome that ARIA are awarding  Australian for the #1 spot because it's not an easy feat for Australians  to get above the noise, especially against international commercial  artists. Australian musicians do it for the art first and so many still  don't realise just how good the quality of Aussie music really is."
  
 From today, two new weekly Aussie #1 Awards will celebrate the truly  outstanding achievement climbing to the top of the ARIA Australian  Albums and Singles Charts, in addition to the regular award given for  achieving a #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart or Singles Chart.
