A HOST of new Australian acts is helping fuel a music industry recovery, the latest ARIA wholesale figures show. The 16-year-old singer-songwriter Gabriella Cilmi, along with the pop-rock groups Gyroscope, Cut Copy and the Presets, were among the local acts to reach No. 1 on the charts, joining established names such as Kasey Chambers and Pete Murray, with Australian music accounting for about a third of chart-making acts.
