Daya)</h3> <p>Fresh of receiving ARIA’s inaugural Global Impact Award, DJ extraordinaire Dom Dolla could also take home Song of the Year for his collaboration with Daya – ‘Dreamin.’</p> <p>Real name Dominic Matheson, Dolla has been on a serious hot streak over the last few years, and this would be a fitting reward for the Melbourne local.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Linger (Royel Otis)</h3> <p>Seemingly the new kings of covers, Royel Otis have done it again when it comes to taking someone else’s track and making it their own.</p> <p>On the heels of their viral Murder on the Dance Floor Like A Version, the Sydney duo put their indie-pop paws all over Linger by the Zombies and what do you know? Another hit was born.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/novelties-and-entertainment/aria-awards/2025-aria-music-awards-9702180">Song of the Year Predicted Winner – Linger (Royel Otis)</a></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>ARIA Awards 2025 – Breakthrough Artist</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Ninajirachi</h3> <p>While she isn’t the favourite for Album of the Year, Ninajirachi is the favourite for Breakthrough Artist.</p> <p>A very short favourite at that, which is not a surprise seeing as she has been nominated for more ARIA Awards than any other artist this year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Mia Wray</h3> <p>Attempting to snatch the Breakthrough Artist trophy away from Ninajirachi, is Queenslander Mia Wray.</p> <p>Favouring the piano and the guitar over a laptop, can Wray wrangle one back for the old-school way of making music and strum her way to her first ever ARIA award?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Folk B***h Trio</h3> <p>Rounding out the main contenders for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist award, are Folk B***h Trio.</p> <p>Purveyors of indie-folk perfection, these three ladies will be picking up their guitars and joining Wray as they attempt to whisk this ARIA away from red-hot favourite Ninajirachi,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/novelties-and-entertainment/aria-awards/2025-aria-music-awards-9702180">Breakthrough Artist Predicted Winner – Ninajirachi</a></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>ARIA Awards 2025 – Best International Artist</h2> <h3>&nbsp;</h3> <h3>Taylor Swift</h3> <p>These days, whenever she releases music, it feels as if Taylor Swift automatically gets nominated for every award under the sun.</p> <p>That’s why it’s no surprise to see Swift not only nominated, but also the favourite for Best International Artist off the back of her all-conquering ‘Life of a Showgirl’ release.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Sabrina Carpenter</h3> <p>After touring Australia together, it’s rather fitting that Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter will do battle for an Aussie music award.</p> <p>While Taylor now has legendary status in the music industry, it’s undeniable that the last few years have belonged to Sabrina, which could very well be reflected by where this award ends up.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Gracie Abrams</h3> <p>Rounding out the hat-trick of pop princesses is singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams. With plenty of comparisons to early T.Swift, Abrams will be going up against one of her biggest influences in this category.</p> <p>Can the student become the teacher and take home Best International Artist? Only time will tell.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/novelties-and-entertainment/aria-awards/2025-aria-music-awards-9702180">Best International Artist Predicted Winner – Sabrina Carpenter.</a></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Where Can I Watch the ARIA Awards?</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The ARIA Awards return to 10 in 2025 for those looking for free-to-air access to Australian Music’s night of nights.</p> <p>For those who prefer streaming, the 2025 ARIA Awards will also be simultaneously streamed live on Paramount+.&nbsp;</p>
