Source-derived summary

Count On Me is the self-titled debut studio album by Judah Kelly, the winner of the sixth season of The Voice Australia. The album was released through Universal Music Australia on 28 July 2017. The album peaked at number three on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Critical reception

Emily Ritchie of The Australian said the album "contains a mixture of original tunes and covers, with an overwhelmingly Motown and country influence. The instrumental accompaniment is simple and repetitive, but this ensures Kelly’s voice is highlighted". Ritchie complemented "If I Go" but criticised the covers for "offer[ing] scant differences from the original tunes".

Commercial performance

Count On Me debuted at number three on the ARIA Albums Chart with sales of 2,455 copies. In its second week, the album fell to number 18 with less than 900 copies sold.

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2017—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2017. For this dossier, Count and album is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2017 album” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q39072322. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
