childhood memories
I remember my older sister and I would have our ears open and ready to press ‘play’ and ‘record’ when we’d hear our favourite songs on the radio 😏😆😻😎

[TheKnobCalledTone.]

I still love how "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic did better than "Beat It" lol

[debbieanne]

Great to hear Aussie charts. Tonight I reminisced about Reckless a song I'd completely forgotten about! Knew all the others, some great, some mediocre

[georgieboy]

I'll say this much, the Australians have great taste. Christ what I wouldn't give to revisit those days.

[davanmani]

I was impressed with the Australian talent. They seem to have their own identity and ability.

[hwd]

Such a rollercoaster of emotions watching this, the soundtrack of my life.

[ivorb]

What a great trip down memory lane. 1980 and 1981 still in high school. Cheers from Australia

[aceventura]

70's great, 80's good, 90's ok, 00's well you know where this is heading...

[PeterVideos]

Yay for B-52's number one! last december of the 80's.

[instantkarma]

My fav Oils song is US Forces. Geeze we had some fantastic bands!

[annetterawlings]

Being an Aussie teenager in the 70s and 80s this clip sure brings back memories, especially of our skating and night club days ❤ I still have most of these singles and albums 😂

[SuperJNG]

Aussie tastes really do lie square in between American and British, don't they? There are some songs here that could've definitely hit the top of the charts in the USA, and some that definitely could've hit the top of the charts in the UK, but not necessarily vice-versa.
Also, bless them for giving the absolute legend "Weird Al" Yankovic a #1 hit!

[andrewmiller-yyde]

Grew up in the 80's, the best of times. Having said that, months might be correct, but some of the years aren't

[instantkarma]

A great walk down memory lane but I have my Countdown official charts and my original radio top 40 charts NSW and some of these are songs are way off. I wouldn't trust the Kent report or Wikipedia. I know where I was and despite what Wiki says, Van Halen's Jump went to #1 In 1984. I taped it off the Top 40 radio at #1. It stayed there for weeks. I've lost many brain cells since my teens but I used to look forward to it being the last clip as it was #1 on Countdown.

[AVportau]

i was a club dj all through the 80's and each song reminds me of a particular club and era... for me the best time was somewhere between 1980-84 with such a great variety of sounds and styles... the later 80's were more dance floor driven where the club chart hits began to merge with the pop chart... eg: Boom Boom... still some great tracks but most were more aimed at club sound more than general listening by then... 1980-84 was nearly as good as 1975-79 which was a magic time of mega classics.

[timn]

this was about bang on the time i started to remember music..i remember every single song being number 1..i was 7 years old for half of 1980...i recall the news of John Lennon being shot and how upset my parents seemed..it was sombre in my house cos my mum grew up in the UK not far from Liverpool and saw the Beatles live.

[kamilas]

Uwielbiam wszelkie tego typu zestawienia. Dzięki!

[FallacyAsPraxis]

With few exceptions, almost identical to the American and UK charts. Good stuff.

[rodney]

Paul Lekakis was no1 in South Africa, but they played the instrumental the whole 20 weeks the song charted because the lyrics was too risky for that time for the radio station that broadcast the official charts. But some other radio stations did play the song with him singing

[adamclarke]
