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 😏😆😻😎

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

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

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

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

Is it just me, or did the charts get progressively worse as the years went on? 1980 was great, 1989 was patchy at best.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

I don't know if you know this, but we actually also have our own music !!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!! wow wow

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 😂

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

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.

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.

Kwintesencja lat 80-tych 😍

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.

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

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

At least you Aussies only had to endure 1 number 1 by Jive Bunny! We poor Poms had 3 number ones - who on earth was buying that rubbish in 1989?!

Nice compilation! A couple of things, though: 1. The version of Kylie Minogue's 'Locomotion' used here was not the version that was a hit in Australia. The version you have used was the Stock Aitken Waterman-produced version Kylie recorded with them in 1988. 2. You have used the Australian Music Report (known as the Kent Music Report until July 1987) charts after the ARIA-produced chart came into being in June 1988 (the self-proclaimed 'official' Australian chart thereafter). There were some differences, e.g. 'A Groovy Kind of Love' (#2 ARIA), 'Teardrops' (#2 ARIA), 'Tucker's Daughter' (#2 ARIA), and 'Now You're In Heaven' (#5 ARIA) were not #1 singles on the ARIA chart.

I concur, bubblingdownunder. The 1990s compilation uses the official ARIA charts, but this one uses the The Australian Music Report from mid-1988 (when ARIA started producing their own charts). Other than that, it's an EXCELLENT compilation! 🙂

Fajny przeglądzik. Proponuję zrobić wideo porównujące pierwsze miejsca list przebojów z różnych krajów, np. USA vs. UK vs. Polska.

Sam Fox seemed to go to number one in most countries except her own where it was number 3.

95% of those songs were very big hits in the Netherlands too

So mixed between the British and American charts, from Shakey to Rick Springsfield. Not to mention a healthy amount of Tasman sea talent and unique to Oz No. 1s

This is fantastic, except for the fact it has the UK version of Kylie's Locomotion, not the Aussie version. The UK version never charted here.

I really do love this compilation, but it would be even better if it used the official ARIA charts for the entire decade (ARIA started producing their own charts from July 1988, rather than endorsing the Kent Music Report).

Legitimately shocked no songs by Crowded House made the list.

So Pseudo Echo took Funky Town to No. 1 longer than Lipps Inc. did.

Australiana curiously missing,

Isn't it odd there"s not one Acca Dacca, Divinyls, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil or INXS in there. What a shame we let them down! Even though she's our treasure, could have done without all the Kylie bubble gum!🇦🇺✌😉

AC/DC never charted singles, they charted albums and sold out arenas. Bon's highest-charting singles were 10 and 9, High Voltage and It's a Long Way to the Top consecutively. Their two highest-charting singles in Australia are 5 and 4, Heatseeker and Thunderstruck. They sell albums, concert tickets and merchandise, not singles.
