A Musical Adventure Inspired by Bluey

Bluey: Rug Island is inspired by the hit episode “Rug Island,” which takes audiences into a world where children immerse themselves in play and imagination. The album’s tracks are taken from across all three series of Bluey, and listeners can expect a delightful mix of genres, from synth rock to traditional sea shanties, all reflecting the whimsical nature of Bluey’s adventures.

Standout tracks on the album include “Octopus,” which features the Yol?u surf rock band King Stingray, and a new vocal version of the iconic Bluey Theme Tune, released earlier this month. Other notable songs include the synth-driven “Fairytale,” the upbeat rock anthem “Muffin Drive,” and the heartfelt “Turtleboy.”

Bluey’s Global Success and Award Nominations

Bluey continues to captivate audiences around the world. The show’s previous albums, Bluey: The Album and Bluey: Dance Mode!, have achieved massive success, with both debuting at #1 on the Billboard Kid Albums chart in the U.S. and amassing over half a billion streams combined. Bluey has also received a 2024 ARIA Award nomination for Dance Mode! in the Best Children’s Album category, further cementing its popularity.

For vinyl enthusiasts, Bluey: Rug Island will be available in a stunning sunset orange vinyl, as well as an exclusive picture disc vinyl, limited to 7,000 copies. The picture disc will be available at select stores like HMV, Target, and JB Hi-Fi.
