It’s been a year since the release of Adele’s 21 and the remarkable album continues to sit at #1 on the ARIA chart.

Celebrating its first birthday, 21 continues to hold the #1 spot for an incredible 26th week.

The 11 times platinum album was released on the 21st January 2011 and has topped the ARIA album chart for half of the past 12 months.

In doing so 21 passes John Farnham’s Whispering Jack to become the 7th most successful #1 album in Australian chart history.

In addition to the phenomenal chart success, Adele’s 21 has earned an impressive six Grammy Award Nominations including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year for ‘Rolling In The Deep’.

The Harpoons begin 2012 in the same way they finished 2011 releasing another beautiful
R-n-B gem on Two Bright Lakes.

Following on from the brilliant Keep You Around is the up-tempo strut of Walk Away featuring another inspired vocal performance from Bec Rigby, it finds the Harpoons in razor sharp form with Martin King’s (Oscar + Martin) percussion tight, snappy allowing space for the base and guitar lines to play equal rhythmic parts, while Rigby continues the soul tradition of creating dancefloor bombs out of crooning heartbreak; it’s a tradition we’re very happy to indulge!

To celebrate the release of their second single The Harpoons will be playing a special Australia Day Eve show at The Toff In Town supported by Oscar Keysung (Oscar + Martin), Fox + Sui, Neighbourhood Youth and DJ O.
