Topping the results as the most pirated Aussie act? That’d be INXS, who saw 8 albums re-enter the charts following the airing of Never Tear Us Apart: The INXS Story giving a major boost to the internationally renowned rockers’ profile. Tracking the shares and downloads on the likes of The Pirate Bay and Torrent Reactor, the resulting infographic (pictured below) reveals an intriguing list of 14 Australian #1 albums. The creative rights lobby group gathered data from the top five illegal file sharing websites and specifically looked for Australian music-makers that had earned a #1 record on the ARIA Albums Chart from 2013 to today, as The Music Network reports. The likes of Flume, Boy & Bear, and the legendary Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds were not only among the highest selling albums of 2013 but also the most illegally downloaded on multiple torrenting websites, according to new research from Music Rights Australia.
