Today sees former Olympic darling Nikki Webster, flying high once again. This time as her debut single “Strawberry Kisses” charts at #2 on the National ARIA singles chart.
The fourteen year-old Sydney schoolgirl joins an elite group of Australian artists such as Bardot and Scandal’us (both debuting at #1) and Madison Avenue (#3) who have also achieved a top five debut. Nikki, however, is the only solo debut artist, and definitely the youngest debut artist to do so.
Her remarkable chart debut and extensive airplay on Australian radio and television attests to Nikki’s massive appeal across a wide range of age groups.
New Managing Director of BMG Australia & NZ, Ed St John says “Everyone at BMG is thrilled with Nikki’s spectacular and historic chart debut. When our company signed this artist late last year, we did so with a vision for a chart-topping pop music career not only in Australia but all over the world. This is the first step in what promises to be a truly meteoric rise and we congratulate Nikki on her achievement.”
Ross Fraser, Managing Director of Gotham Records adds “what a great beginning to the pop career of somebody who has already done so much in her 14 years, Nikki is to be congratulated on her success, and I’m sure it’s only the start of something much, much bigger.”
“Strawberry Kisses” is available now at a record store near you.
