Sounds Australia has been showcasing local talent at CMA Fest since 2023, with the Australian footprint growing steadily each year. In March 2025, country music was named the fastest-growing genre in Australia across streaming platforms, following Spotify data that ranked Australia as the third-largest country music market globally—behind only the US and Canada.
