Triumphant Night at the 2024 ARIA Awards: Troye Sivan’s Victory and Royel Otis Dominates with Four Gongs!
Royel Otis and Troye Sivan were the standout victors at this year’s Arias, amassing seven accolades between them. Indie rock pair Royel Otis dominated the 2024 nominations with eight, capturing four awards for best group, best rock album, and two production-related honors alongside Chris Collins. The duo, Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, emotionally thanked supporters from a ferris wheel in Belgium. On the other hand, dance-pop sensation Troye Sivan clinched three awards, including the coveted album of the year for “Something to Give Each Other.” Delighted by his win, Sivan shared how the album emerged from his loneliness during Melbourne’s lockdowns and what inspired its creation.
Sivan’s career has skyrocketed internationally, with Grammy nominations and a successful “Sweat” tour alongside Charli XCX. Meanwhile, Royel Otis gained viral fame with covers of popular songs and toured globally, although they recently halted their US shows due to a family crisis.
3%, a First Nations supergroup, also secured multiple Aria awards, winning best hip-hop/rap release and best cover art. The ceremony featured lesser political tension than the previous year but included memorable moments like Dobby’s insightful speech questioning the “world music” category.
Rising act Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers nabbed the breakthrough artist award, tracing their beginnings to a teenage viewing of “School of Rock.” Missy Higgins, celebrating 20 years of her landmark album “The Sound of White,” was inducted into the Aria Hall of Fame and voted best Australian live act. G Flip’s hit “The Worst Person Alive” claimed song of the year honors, highlighting a publicly enthusiastic choice.
Notable wins continued with Tkay Maidza, Angie McMahon, Emily Wurramara, and Dom Dolla collecting awards in their respective categories. Troy Cassar-Daley, Mia Dyson, and Speed also triumphed, while Bluey won for best children’s album. Taylor Swift, through public vote, secured the international artist award for the fourth time, acknowledging fans’ generosity through a heartfelt video message.
