We flagged this one a few days ago, but an album of frog noises has jumped into 3rd spot on the ARIA charts just behind Taylor Swift and Paul Kelly, leapfrogging Jimmy Barnes’ Blue Christmas. The album called Australian Frog Calls: Songs of Disappearance features the calls of 58 species, including many that are endangered or extinct. It’s been created by the same team of academics, musicians and conservationists who pulled together an album of Aussie bird songs, which flew into the top 5 last year. Album producer Anthony Albrecht says they set out to do “something even more outlandish” this year, and the team is proud of “the underdogs – or the underfrogs”, as they like to say. And they’re not done yet… Albrecht thinks they could still leapfrog into #1, saying it’s “the frogs versus Taylor Swift right now”. No doubt Swifties will be hopping mad at that suggestion…
