EON Media Group, producers of Asia’s first locally-produced and regionally syndicated radio chart programme Asia Pop 40, announced their partnership with the Australian Recorded Industry Association (ARIA) as Official Asian Radio Partner of The 2015 ARIA Awards.

Asia Pop 40 Executive Producer and CEO of EON Media Group, Rob Graham, said: “The ARIAs are the most significant music awards show in the Asia-Pacific Region and we are very excited to be part of the event once again. Australian music is a mainstay of our Asia Pop 40 chart programme and we are thankful to ARIA for this partnership, which gives our Asian audience unprecedented access

to the Awards each year.”

Numerous Australian artists have been featured on Asia Pop 40, including Sia, Sheppard, Justice Crew, Guy Sebastian, Nathanial, Hermitude, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Rufus, Vance Joy and many others.

“The current wave of Australian music has reached all over the world, and given our proximity to Asia, it is not surprising that so many Australian artists have found airplay and success in Asia”, commented ARIA Chief Executive Officer Dan Rosen.

“Asia Pop 40 has been a strong supporter of Australian music throughout Asia and we are thrilled to have AP40 as our Asian radio partner for the 2015 ARIA Awards”, Rosen said.

Asia Pop 40 will feature the major nominated artists during the weeks leading up to the 2015 ARIA Awards, to be held at Sydney, on November 26.

Asia Pop 40 will also be sending two lucky listeners to this year’s ceremony with host Dom Lau, including accommodation, VIP Red Carpet access, tickets to the show and exclusive access to the VIP After Party.
