Presenting the best Australian and New Zealand songs of the 21st century so far.

We finally settled on a top 300 - read the full list now at the Rolling Stone AU/NZ website!

Some of the great records that made our Best New Zealand Albums of 2025 list.

Dick Move earned a Taite Music Prize nomination for their second album 'Wet'. Don't bet against them repeating the feat next year for their excellent new record 'Dream, Believe, Achieve'.

Lucy Suttor says awards recognition is significant to her being the singer in a female-fronted punk band.

We’re premiering the cool new single/video by Bic Runga. Watch in full at the Rolling Stone AU/NZ website!

There will be one familiar face when Laneway returns to Auckland next February: BENEE.

She revealed her love of the festival when we caught up to chat about her great new album ‘Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles’.

BENEE and I have something in common: OCD. What fun!

It was nice to hear her talk about how she sees her disorder as a positive thing when it comes to music.

Watch a clip from our Rolling Stone AU/NZ interview now.

Scotland is just five hours from Christchurch. Who knew.

Every so often I remember that ‘Andalucia’ by John Cale is probably the best song of all time.
