  "account": "G Flip, the rising Australian artist, is set to bring the heat as pre-game entertainment at the AFL 2026 Grand Final Day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on September 26. With their hit single \"Bed On Fire\" dominating the national airplay charts, G Flip has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the Australian music scene.\n\nSince its release in May as a TV sync for the hit series \"Off Campus,\" \"Bed On Fire\" has been a runaway hit, reaching the top of the national airplay chart for three consecutive weeks. The song has also made waves on Billboard charts, peaking at No. 2 in the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart and No. 46 in the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. Certified gold in Australia, \"Bed On Fire\" has amassed over 67 million total streams, making it G Flip's most streamed song to date.\n\nThe success of \"Bed On Fire\" is a testament to G Flip's talent and the power of strategic placements. The single soared to the top 40 of the ARIA Singles Chart after appearing in Amazon's popular series \"Off Campus,\" catapulting G Flip into several Billboard charts. With more than 138 radio stations playing the track, \"Bed On Fire\" has become G Flip's most broadly played radio single, surpassing their previous biggest radio success, \"Disco Cowgirl,\" which peaked at No. 23.\n\nG Flip's rise to fame began in early 2024 when they achieved a record-breaking feat by securing seven songs in triple j's Hottest 100 countdown, including the No. 2 spot with \"The Worst Person in the World.\" This accomplishment surpassed the previous record set by rock trio Wolfmother in 2005, who scored six entries in a countdown. G Flip also made history as the first Australian artist to have a No. 1 album on the ARIA chart with their third studio album, \"Dream Ride,\" released via AWAL Recordings.",
  "summary": "“Bed On Fire” was ignited by a TV sync, and has claimed some prized scalps on the way to the top of the Australia's airplay chart -- where it has stayed for the past two months.",
