A great start for the April Uprising, debuting at No. 1 on the Australian Aria Charts on it’s first week. Lady GaGa has had 17 weeks in the chart and yet hasn’t managed to break No. 2, while Muse’s ‘Resistance’ sits nicely at No. 20, capping the Australian top 20 with 2 great albums about REVOLUTION.

April Uprising is the only 100% Independent self-funded and self-released album in the top 20 albums sold in Australia, released by Jarrah Records (their own label) and distributed by the Metropolitan Groove Merchants.
The other albums all have major label support, UMA=Universal, SME=Sony, WAR=Warners, and one of the oldest of them all EMI.

Commenting on the album and forthcoming tour schedule, John Butler said today,
“I’m truly wrapped about the number 1 debut for April Uprising!!! It’s VERY bloody cool to say the least and is something I never take for granted. It gives me a lot of faith in what good songs and great fans can do and I’m really humbled that I can continue to have such a fruitful career. I have a lot to thank my amazing fans for and a big thank you goes out to all my team who were also a huge part in making this dream a reality.
