Aussie doctor turned pop singer Iyah May's controversial protest song Karmaggedon has become a chart-topper despite objections from her manager. The song, which criticizes Covid as a 'man-made' money maker and Israel's conflict against Hamas and Hezbollah as 'genocide', has reached number two on Australian iTunes, number one in Spain, number two in Indonesia, number 12 in the US, and 16 globally. May split with her manager and record label over the song's content but believes it has struck a chord with listeners due to the harsh disruption experienced during the pandemic. She hopes the song will help people find a voice against institutional forces.
