Australian Bird Calls sold 2621 this week to earn its number 3 ARIA position after debuting a week ago at number 5 with 2,217 sales. That is over $100,000 in revenues.

At the Songs of Disappearance website the message reads” We did it! Thanks to your incredible support we reached #3 in the ARIA charts, ahead of Taylor Swift, ABBA, Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé.

‘Songs of Disappearance’ was a concept from the Bowerbird Collective and Birdlife Australia and recorded by nature recordist David Stewart and Nature Sound. The album features 53 of Australia’s threatened bird species including cockatoos, bowerbirds, seabirds and night parrots.
