Achievement awards

Outstanding Achievement Award

  • Tina Arena "for selling in excess of one million albums across Europe."[3]

Arena reflected on the award, "I have been around a long time. I've had an incredible time and I'm still learning many things. Receiving the award is wonderful as it's great to be recognised for the work you put in. I'm very proud." She described her colleagues, "I've worked with some wonderful people in Europe, like Desmond Child (worked with Ricky Martin) and Matthew Wilder (worked with No Doubt)."[3]

  • Slim Dusty "for a career spanning over five decades (100 albums)."[3]

Dusty described his works, "I started making private records in 1942 and got accepted to a recording contract of kind in 1946. It's hard to believe that I've done this many records. I still record very fast, getting the tracks down quickly, and I like to have young people around me in the process."[3]

Special Achievement Award

  • Daryl Somers "for the contribution that Hey Hey It's Saturday made in providing an outlet for Australian artists to showcase their music."[3] Hey Hey It's Saturday (1971–1977, 1979–1999, 2009–2010, 2021, 2022) was an Australian TV variety show hosted and co-produced by Somers.
