To our incredible Royce Twins family,
If you’ve followed our musical journey over the years—from our first auditions to our live gigs around the country and charting on the independent charts—you know how much we cherish storytelling and authentic, live music.
Today, we are thrilled to share something huge: Gabriel is officially launching his debut solo single, “WANTED”, releasing worldwide on Friday, October 30, 2026 (with pre-orders live right now!).
The Next Step in the Story
You’ve been with us since the days of just two voices and an acoustic guitar. With “WANTED”, Gabriel is taking that same raw honesty and amplifying it.
This is a passionate, open-highway anthem where his signature vocals are backed by the sweeping energy of a full country-rock band. Co-written, produced, mixed, and mastered alongside collaborator Matt Joyce, the track tells the reckless story of a Vegas elopement spiraling completely off the rails. It’s a bold new chapter, but it is built entirely on the same heartfelt songwriting foundation we’ve shared with you for over a decade.
The Mission: Cracking the ARIA Country Singles Chart
With this new release, our sights are set on a major milestone: landing “WANTED” on the official ARIA Country Singles Chart on release week.
As an independent Australian artist going up against major-label releases, climbing the official charts takes real community power. That brings us to an insider detail many music fans don’t realize: not all plays are counted equally.
Why an iTunes Purchase Hits 100x Harder Than Streaming
Streaming on Spotify or Apple Music is fantastic for ongoing momentum, but when it comes to official ARIA chart formulas:
-
Streams require hundreds of plays: On the charts, it takes 1,500 individual streams of a track by a premium member to equal the weight of just 10 people who buy the song. For a free accounts it’s up to 6,000 streams for 10 people who buy the song.
-
Direct downloads punch above their weight: When you buy a digital copy on iTunes, that single transaction registers immediately as a full, 1:1 paid unit on the ARIA charts. A relatively small group of dedicated fans buying the track on release week can out-chart songs with tens of thousands of passive streams.
If you want to give Gabriel the strongest possible push toward an ARIA chart debut, pre-ordering the track on iTunes is the absolute single most powerful move you can make.
