Bluey will release its third album, Bluey: Rug Island, featuring 16 original tracks from the global hit animated series, on October 25th via Demon Music Group. The new music is created by the series’ award-winning composer Joff Bush and The Bluey Music team. Bluey: Rug Island will be released on streaming services, CD, sunset orange vinyl and a limited-edition vinyl picture disc (exclusive to HMV (UK), Target (US) and JB Hi-Fi (AUS).

Bluey’s first album made history as the first children’s album to reach the #1 spot on the Australian ARIA chart. Together, Bluey: The Album and Bluey: Dance Mode!, have racked up more than half a billion combined streams and both debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Kid Albums chart in the US. Bluey has also been nominated for a 2024 ARIA Award in Australia for ‘Dance Mode’ in the Best Children’s Album category to be held this November.

Bluey: Rug Island, recorded in Brisbane, Australia, is a playful journey through the imaginations of sisters Bluey and Bingo. Featuring tracks from all three series, the album takes inspiration from the episode Rug Island – a place where children play, and adults embrace their inner kid.

Joff Bush said: “Creativity and imagination play an important role in the process of creating the music for Bluey. Like Rug Island, it’s about entering your own world and having fun while musically bringing Bluey’s story to life.”

More highlights on the album include Octopus, featuring the Yolŋu surf rock combo King Stingray, Onesies and a new vocal version of the Bluey Theme Tune (Vocal Version), released earlier this month. Standout tracks include an ‘80s-inspired synth rock Fairytale, a traditional style sea shanty Explorers, a driving rock song Muffin Drive, and a simple sweet track Turtleboy.

The collection will be available to stream and download worldwide this Friday.

Exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday, a limited-edition 7’’ picture disc single will be released on November 29th. Rug Island (Full Version) is exclusive to the 7” picture disc single and features the full-length version of the track which is separated as a trilogy on the album. The B-side features the ‘Bluey Theme Tune (Vocal Version)’ taken from the album Bluey: Rug Island. The 7’’ picture disc is limited to 6,000 units worldwide, with copies only available from participating Indie Record stores taking part in Records Store Day Black Friday this November. The vinyl will be available in record stores on the day on a first come first served basis.
