Lorde has taken out this week's triple j Feature Album spot. 

The New Zealand artist will be highlighted throughout the week with her new album Solar Power picking up the week's top spot, following its release on Friday. 

“The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors," said Lorde of the album. 

"In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learned to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through."


UK duo Jungle have scored this week's album Spotlight for their third studio album, Loving In Stereo. The album debuted at #10 on the ARIA Albums Chart last week.

"We learned to capture the energy of the moment as best as possible without overthinking it," said the pair of the release. 

"We also realised that our previous albums had a laidback swagger and had never pushed the tempo beyond 120bpm, so this whole level of energy was missing, like we had had a glass ceiling over the project. Our main goal was to let go of perfection and embrace how energetic and real our music could be."


CXLOE's Soft Rock, DMA'S We Are Midnight (from their surprise EP last week), King Stringray's Milkumana, Kito's Steal My Clothes feat. Bea Miller, Meet Me @ The Alter's Brighter Days (Are Before Us), ONEFOUR's How We Livin' feat. Kapulet, PinkPantheress' Just For Me, and The Wombats' If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You have all been added to regular rotation. 

Approachable Members Of Your Local Community's Strong Enough, Beddy Rays' Week On Repeat, Claire Rosinkranz's Hotel, Denzel Curry's The Game, and Human Movement & Made In Paris' Feel Me have all picked up Spot plays.
