Hi guys, I think we need this forum so we can keep all chart Identifications in one thread rather than having them all over the site.
I have some songs that I need clarification on there actual positions. Anybody's help will be appreciated. CRAIG
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell Tina Turner - I Can't Stand The Rain Elton John - Blue Eyes John Mellencamp - I Need A Lover Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey Jim Reeves - According To My Heart (1956) Billy Idol - Mony Mony The Village People - In The Navy Icehouse - Great Soutrhern Land
According to David Kent's "big yellow chart book" the answers you seek are:
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell #7 Tina Turner - I Can't Stand The Rain - no listing Elton John - Blue Eyes #4 John Mellencamp - I Need A Lover #5 Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey #25 Jim Reeves - According To My Heart (1956) Billy Idol - Mony Mony #8 (live 1987 release) The Village People - In The Navy #7 Icehouse - Great Soutrhern Land #5
Hey guys, while we're on this new thread. I have started getting a few 1988 ARIA charts, but only about five so far. Does anybody have the complete set, and if so would you be willing to send them to me, you would be greatly rewarded for your efforts. (chartwise not money-wise).
Thanks Chartboi & Bulion once again. I'm not surprised that 'According To My Heart' originally recorded by Jim Reeves didn't chart. It is a country standard but I thought it might of had a chance considering it was realesed in 1956. Btw The Reels version of this is atrocious!
On that note, can anyone list the album and singles chart positions (all, if possible please) for Guns N' Roses? It would be much appreciated if you could.
Thanks for that Craig I thought that "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Sweet Child o' Mine" would have peaked higher than that, because I've seen on here that they only peaked at those positions, but because australian-charts only details info from 1989 onwards in singles, I thought maybe they would have reached their peak position earlier in 1988?
18-Sep-88 Sweet Child O' Mine #11, 24wks (Top 50) 18-Dec-88 Welcome To The Jungle #41, 8wks (Top 50) 9-Apr-89 Paradise City #48, 1 wk (Top 50) 28-May-89 Patience #16, 18wks (Top 50) 30-Sep-90 Knockin' On Heaven's Door #61, 7 wks 14-Jul-91 You Could Be Mine #3, 22wks 15-Sep-91 Don't Cry #5, 22 wks 15-Dec-91 Live And Let Die #10, 18 wks 22-Mar-92 November Rain #5, 53 wks 19-Jul-92 Knockin' On Heaven's Door #12, 40 wks 15-Nov-92 Yesterdays #14, 23wks 23-May-93 Civil War #45, 9 wks 23-Jan-94 Estranged #40, 9 wks 20-Mar-94 Since I Don't Have You #47, 10 wks 25-Dec-94 Sympathy For The Devil #12, 15 wks
Prior to 1990, I've only got ARIA Top 50 information. According to the Kent Report, Sweet Child O' Mine peaked at #10 and spent 29 wks in their Top 100, Welcome To The Jungle peaked at #37 (12 wks), Paradise City peaked at #40 (11wks), Patience peaked at #16 (22 wks) and Nightrain peaked at #74 (5wks). BeansterBarnes says that Nightrain peaked at #89 on ARIA, which is probably right.
ALBUMS: I've not finished updating my Albums database yet but here's what I have so far: 18-Sep-88 Appetite For Destruction #7, 152 wks (as at 13-Jun-93) 8-Jan-89 G N' R Lies #18, 83 wks (as at 2-May-93) 29-Sep-91 Use Your Illusion I #2, 104 wks (as at 19-Sep-93) 29-Sep-91 Use Your Illusion II #1, 109 wks (as at 27-Feb-94) 5-Dec-93 The Spaghetti Incident? #1, 23 wks (as at 8-May-94) 6-Dec-99 Live Era... '87-93 #57, 6 wks (as at 10-Jan-00)
I'm only up to early 2000 in my database, but of course after this point there was "Greatest Hits" which peaked at #6 and spent a VERY long time in the Top 100, but I am not yet able to confirm exactly how long. And if any of the above albums have re-entered since the beginning of 2000, I don't have that info entered yet either, I'm afraid. Also, please note that the entry dates for Appetite For Destruction and G N' R Lies apply to Top 50, not Top 100.

Claude, i'm going through old threads to find chart information pre 1989 & reposting them here so it's not repeated. I think we need this thread as a common place to gather information.
Ok, who has got the rights to the years before 1989? Are there some official charts or only "inofficial"?
Perhaps we could ask to publish those charts on this page.
I would say put the older charts only if you're asked in this thread because we have some experience over the years with charts and rights... (swisscharts.com as the "original page" exists since 1995) Last edited: 24/04/2008 16:49
ARIA's first chart had a publication date of Week Ending 26-June 1988. The first No.1 was "The Flame" by Cheap Trick. Previous to the ARIA Charts there was only the David Kent Report, later changed to Australian Music Report, which ran from 1974 through until the end of 1998, although in-house charts were continued on, and this information can be found in David's book 1993-2005. In 1965, the teen-pop magazine Go-Set published charts which can now be found on a set-up website, but these charts weren't slanted towards state populations initially, thus giving equal points to each states information, meaning No.1 only Tasmanian singles could scores as many points as the Sydney No.1. This was later amended, and the Go-Set Top 50 charts ran through until the mid 70's. David Kent has gone back to January 1940 and from 1955 onwards has reconstructed the charts, using each states multiple charts to get an overall and mostly accurate assessment of the songs that were charting from 1955 thru to where his July 1974 charts commenced. So we do have a chart run of 68 years and counting in this country, MUCH longer than England's (there's only go back to 1952), but not quite as long as American (1890 was their first). So this June 26th marks the 20th Anniversary of ARIA's own chart, as opposed to this week (end of April) which will be their 25th Anniversary (April 1983), which is when they used the Kent Music Report as the ARIA Chart. This was done for five years before ARIA started doing their own in-house chart. Last edited: 02/05/2008 10:26
Thanks bulion for the information, i am a little confused with the Underneath the Radar information, in this ARIA report http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/23790/20060920-0000/issue858.pdf, they state it peaked at #9, or is that the Australian Music Report peak? It is also interesting to see Tiffany's chart peaks, would you be able to tell me where her other songs or albums peaked please?
OK, i talked to Steffen Hung (webmaster of swisscharts.com and australian-charts.com) and he thinks it would be ok if we publish those charts in our database.
Does anybody of you has got some excel-files of the charts before 1989?
Great job guys! I've always wondered if Ambrosia, Journey or Styx ever charted in Australia? And if they did, how well did their songs do?
Also, could you please tell me how well Little River Band's singles (particularly "Night Owls" and "Cool Change") and did Donna Allen ever chart with "Serious"?
Dr. Hook had 16 charting singles in Australia, 6 of those were Top 10 hits, and of those 2 were No.1's, "Sylvia's Mother" and "Walk Right in". As for "Sexy Eyes"...
Thanks bulion! Ambrosia, Journey and Styx were big in the US from the late 70's through to the early/mid 80's but I don't ever recall hearing their music on Australian radio today. I wonder why that is?

Thanks Bulion! If it's no trouble, could you tell me if Shalamar ever charted in Australia? Did Patti Austin/James Ingram ever chart here? And what were Whitney Houston's chart positions before 1989?
I am searching the all time Elton John singles in australian singles charts and weeks on charts and also his albums. Anybody has a info? Thanks for any info.

Air Supply were not as big in Australia as they were in the U.S., but they still managed 4 Top 10 singles:
04-Oct-76*HP-06*WI-28 - Love and Other Bruises 07-Feb-77*HP-43*WI-15 - Empty Pages 27-Jun-77*HP-45*WI-13 - Do What You Do 21-May-79*HP-13*WI-18 - Lost in Love 21-July-80*HP-09*WI-23 - All Out of Love 15-Dec-80*HP-08*WI-21 - Every Woman in the World 22-Jun-81*HP-10*WI-19 - The One That You Love 02-Nov-81*HP-43*WI-20 - Here I Am 21-Jun-82*HP-35*WI-15 - Even the Nights are Better 24-Jan-83*HP-46*WI-13 - Two Less Lonely People in the World 05-Sep-83*HP-45*WI-16 - Making Love out of Nothing at All 04-Nov-85*HP-79*WI-06 - Just As I Am
Wow, I had no idea that Air Supply were bigger in the US than here? How is that possible - why didn't Australia support it's own music??? To be honest, for the longest time I didn't even know that Air Supply were Australian until I looked them up, I actually thought they were American!
Like Little River Band before them, the two Russell's pitched their music to the Americans, whereas in Australia at the time pub rock like The Angels, Cold Chisel and Australian Crawl were the more popular styles with Australian listeners. So they noticed the Americans were picking up on their sytle of slow ballad-esque appeal and ran with it. You'll notice their singles have no uptempo beats, all are mainly ballads, which the US were doing on masse. That was the secret to their success over there, they sounded like what they already had (ala Hall & Oates, soft Foreigner, Asia and REO Speedwagon).

I'm adding the ARIA charts to my DB but missing the following singles and albums (with label and cat. nr's) charts: 10/07/1988 20/11/1988 18/12/1988 05/03/1989 26/03/1989 - 02/04/1989 30/04/1989 - 28/05/1989 11/06/1989 25/06/1989
Could somebody help me where to find these ARIA charts?
You can access charts from 1989 onwards by using the archive feature on this site, just type in a date & the charts appear. Anything pre-1988 is not available as yet.
Somebody please give Claude the archives for pre-1988. As he's stated they will put them on this site!!!

I know about the 1989-now archive, Steffen got the charts from me But there are no labels and cat. no. infos, that's why I'm missing some 1989's charts too!!
Thnx bulion, but you gave me the chart position for First Class! I remember the song Beach Baby, but I was asking about First Choice, who had songs like "Doctor Love", "Let No Man Put Asunder", "Smarty Pants" and "Armed & Extremely Dangerous"!
How about Sister Sledge, the Pointer Sisters and Dionne Warwick?

As you can see, Dionne didn't get her first Top 10 single in Australia until early 1983, 19 years after she started charting here.
England Dan & John Ford Coley: 23-Aug-76*HP-25*WI*16 - I'd Really Love to See You Tonight 07-Feb-77*HP-92*WI-03 - Nights Are Forever Without You 18-July-77*HP-90*WI-02 - It's Sad to Belong 06-Feb-78*HP-71*WI-05 - Gone Too Far 25-Jun-79*HP-79*WI-02 - Love is the Answer
So only really their first single was an adequate hit, the rest where nothing really much at all here.
02-Apr-73*HP-60*WI-06 - Do it Again 09-July-73*HP-62*WI-07 - Reeling in the Years 17-Jun-73*HP-30*WI-19 - Rikki, Don't Lose That Number 26-Jun-78*HP-87*WI-04 - FM (No Static at All) 02-Feb-81*HP-48*WI-11 - Hey Nineteen
thanks for that bulion - I'm surprised that Fogelberg, Stephen and Steely haven't done well at all on the charts, although you hear their songs regularly on some classic rock/easy listening FM stations (ie. "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight", "Reeling In The Years"... etc).
Any chance of finding out what the peak chart positions are for these songs please

Metallica never had any pre 1989 singles (as I've posted before), their first charting single was 1989's "One" which hit No.38.

I always thought Phil Collins had more hits in the 80's than that because he seemed to be everywhere back then (if there was a movie song required he was the "go to" man), but I guess he had hits with Genesis as well.
Anyway another couple I've wondered about - Huey Lewis & the News, Queen & David Bowie.
I'm kinda shocked with Phil Collins too. I thought "Easy Lover" was a top 5 hit here, it's a classic on many radio stations, you can hear it all the time. How did it peak so low???
How did Earth Wind & Fire do? Hall & Oates? Pat Benatar?
The problem with Easy Lover was that there was a record company dispute over the song in Australia. With Phil C being on Atlantic and Phil B being on CBS, they both wouldn't let each other have the rights to it. CBS released it first because it was from Philip Bailey's album, but the Atlantic/Warner got annoyed, so after a month on the shelves the single was pulled from release, thus resulting in a really LOW placing on the charts. Shame because it's a good song too.

bulion, do you have Chartifacts from 1990-1993? Sometimes on those they revealed ARIA chart peaks between #51 and #100 between Jul 1988-Dec 1989 - e.g. Blue Zone's "Jackie"'s chart peak from 1989 (#99) was mentioned in the Chartifacts entry for B.Z. featuring Joanne's cover of the song in a 1998 Chartifacts entry. If so, I'm wondering if they make mention of Neneh Cherry's peaks for "Manchild" and "Kisses On the Wind" (#51 and #52 respectively on the Kent Report chart) e.g. on the chartifacts entry for "Heart" (Mar 1990). I've wanted to find out their ARIA peaks since 1989!
As I only have the Top 50 information from 1989, I can't as yet tell you what their peaks were. I can only tell you Top 100 peak positions from 1990 onwards. I also don't have ARIA Chartifacts.
18-Mar-90*HP-91*WI-05 - Heart 28-Oct-90*HP-61*WI-12 - I've Got You Under My Skin 15-Nov-92*HP-85*WI-08 - Money Love
After these there was her two big singles "7 Seconds" and "Woman" which you can find through the archive.
Thanks for that Bulion! While we're on the Phil Collins/Genesis rush, how did Peter Gabriel do? I was also wondering how Melissa Manchester, Sheena Easton, Rita Coolidge and Quincy Jones have done?
A friend and I were having a little contest (over a cold one) last night to name as many comedy (with no music) hits we could think of. I only got 3, Australiana - Austen Tayshus, It's Just Not Cricket - The 12th Man & I'm Tuff - George Smilovic. I probably missed a couple of obvious ones so does anyone have any others?.
How about "Marvelous" by the 12th Man? Or "Asshole" by Denis Leary? I don't know if Cheech and Chong had any "routines" that charted as singles in the 70's like they did in the US though...
I think you can include Bruce 2000 by The 12th Man, too. A bit of music, but not really as a song. But I think you have them all that technically have no music.
Hey bulion, you might be able to help me here.... I've been going through my thousands of mp3's and adding the 'HP' & 'WI' for each song into the file info (I enter the HP as the track number & the WI in the comments). This way I can sort by this info in Windows Explorer & iTunes without having to keep a separate spreadsheet. Anyway, the problem I have is that I only have this info from 1970 onwards and I can't find any Australian chart info for the Creedence Clearwater Revival songs I have from 1969. Can you help?
One more thing... I've also got heaps of pre-1970 Beatles songs but I've used the 'Beatles In Australia' website (see link below) as my guide to Australian chart positions for these. However, I don't know how accurate this info is because they don't reference it anywhere. So if you could post a list of chart info for 60's Beatles songs I would be very appreciative.
Further to Adam's point. As most you are probably aware there is some pre 90's Australian Chart info on Wikipedia. There not a lot mind you and because it is Wikipedia, my question is how reliable do you think most of it is?. Also while I'm at it, any info on Dire Straits & Bryan Adams would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Now I have one more question... Can anyone tell me how many songs have made the singles chart between 8/1/1989 & this week (8/6/2008)? I came up with 4815 but I think I might be missing some. I added up the total weeks of all the songs I have on my list and it came to 49774 but I think if the list is complete it should add up to 50700 (50 x 1014 weeks).
P.S. Sorry if this is getting off the topic of this thread but I couldn't find any existing thread relating to this.

In answer to Louie's question, no 'Romeo & Juliet' never made the charts here in Australia or in the USA (despite making it to no. 8 in the UK). Another Dire Straits song that has had a lot of radio airplay over the years that didn't chart either was 'Your Latest Trick'.
That gives me an idea for a new thread.... "Well-known songs that never made the Australian singles chart". Obviously 'Stairway To Heaven' would be right up there.
Yes we'd be no doubt suprised about how many "classics" never charted or at best barely made it into the charts. Bullion has provided many examples of this in this very thread.
In fact a lot of songs that chart near the top never get played on radio even a year or two later. There's many reasons for this of course, but there's countless examples of number one songs you'll never hear from again.
While I'm here I'd be interested to find out how the "Stones" charted because they must of had a huge number of hits over the years. And if possible Rod Stewart & Roy Orbison as well. Thanks
I remember "Your Latest Trick". It did chart, but it was part of their "On The Night (Live)" CD. Rage used to play the live clip in their top 50. I think the song barely cracked the top 50 if I recall, but it did chart.
How did Romeo & Juliet become one of their best known classics (there's even a video clip for it - Video Hits would play it every once and a while as a "classic") yet never charted? Isn't that a little odd that a song would become such a hit yet wouldn't be available for purchase (especially back in the early 80's). Was it the B-Side to another hit? Or were record companies back then employing the sales tactic of making a single unavailable for purchase so you would have to buy the album? I thought that was only a recent (last 10 years or so) tactic?
Bulion, your yeoman's service in this thread is *AMAZING*. Seriously, the amount of work you put in is much much appreciated by all concerned.
I've got a couple for you, if you could be so kind: Cliff Richard and Mental As Anything. (The connection? Expresso Bongo, of course.) Also Dusty Springfield. And I'll stop there.
Martin, there are a few surprises with some big 'radio hits' that were flops on the chart. Cold Chisel's "Khe Sanh" only peaked at #41 on the chart!
Phil Collins' "Easy Lover" is another one, which I think has been discussed in this thread (or one on the forum) - only made #74, yet still gets played on some stations.
Maybe the biggest surprise of all is that Derek & The Dominos original "Layla" (Eric Clapton's band, he later did an MTV Unplugged version that was a big hit in '92/'93) charted at only #100 in 1972! Maybe it just seems more popular than it was, because 'classic rock' stations started playing it when the acoustic Layla was a hit.
Bananarama's "Cruel Summer" is another one that charted surprisingly low - #32. Yet it seems more memorable/known than a few of their others that charted higher, such as "More Than Physical" at #28, which I never heard until a few years ago.
Here's a few more examples of songs I've heard many times on radio over the years yet they never made the top 100 singles.
Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young Billy Joel - She's Always A Woman Cold Chisel - Ita Cold Chisel - Standing On The Outside Divinyls - Only Lonely Eagles - Desperado Eagles - The Long Run Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven Little River Band - Cool Change Little River Band - Happy Anniversary Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light Midnight Oil - Best Of Both Worlds Midnight Oil - Short Memory Midnight Oil - Read About It Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd - Money Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen Supertramp - Breakfast In America Supertramp - Take The Long Way Home U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Elwood, yes, Divinyls' "Only Lonely" is another oddity. I remember looking for the chart position of that in David Kent's book and thinking why isn't it there? I think it may not have actually been released as a commercial single here - hence the lack of chart position. It may have only featured in the film Monkey Grip - but then why were 2 videos made I know one was for the US market, but still, there was a local version as well.
that's a surprise too about Stevie Nicks' "Edge of 17". But then I don't think there is a video for that track, so maybe it wasn't a commercial single either.
Good call on "Cool Change" by LRB. I believe someone else asked the same question on whether it charted or not and Bulion explained that it was a US only single.
Several singles by Steely Dan get airplay too, "Reeling In The Years" (peaked at 32) and "Peg" (which didn't even chart) get considerable airplay.
Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere" is another radio friendly hit and it only peaked at 45. Then there's "Ballerina Girl" by Lionel Richie which apparently didnt even chart here.
Sade's "Hang On To Your Love" peaked at 68 and gets considerable airplay.
Arguably one of the biggest radio hits of his career, Billy Joel's "Piano Man" only peaked at 20. You'd have thought it was a number one single?
If anybody wants the entire ARIA Top 100 Singles information (on Excels Spreadsheets) from Jan 1990 to Dec 2002, please email me off-thread and I will be able to send it to you. Also included are the 1988 and 1989 Top 50 Charts (88 thanks to Chartboi).

^ where do we get your email from bulion? I used to be able to see some member's emails listed when hovering my mouse over their names, but not in the past few days
I guess the common theme from that list of songs I posted is that most of them were included on high charting albums. If you consider that album sales are generally much greater than single sales then millions of people would probably have copies of those songs even though they weren't successful singles. I suppose that's why they get a lot of radio airplay because most people would already have been familiar with them.
Almost all of the low-placing-but-still-popular chart singles were big US hits. I wonder if the radio programmers are basing current airplay on old US charts?
The exception would be singles that fulfill Australian content regs, like "Khe Sanh". Not that's it's not a great single, but it gets the amount of play it does to fulfill those quotas...
Any chance of finding out what the peak chart positions are for these songs please
Sting - Russians The Beach Boys - I Can Hear Music U2 - New Year's Day The Police - De Do Do Do De Da Da Da Psuedo Echo - A Beat For You Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is Bing Crosby/David Bowie - Little Drummer Boy
Khe Sanh is an interesting one. It always ranks near the top in those countdowns where people vote for their favourite songs of all time yet it only made it to no. 41 on the singles chart. Cold Chisel actually had 14 other songs perform better in the charts: Forever Now (No.4) Cheap Wine (No.8) Hands Out Of My Pocket (No.9) The Things I Love In You (No.10) Saturday Night (No.11) You Got Nothing I Want (No.12) Hold Me Tight/No Sense (No.14) Choir Girl (No.14) Nothing But You (No.16) Yesterdays (No.23) When The War Is Over (No.25) Flame Trees (No.26) You're Thirteen, You're Beautiful & You're Mine EP (No.36) My Baby/Misfits (No.40)
I wasn't around when the song was released -- did Khe Sahn's subject matter make it controversial at the time, meaning that some stations didn't play it? This would explain its relatively low chart placing...
Sting - Russians #11 U2 - New Years Day (didn't chart/not released as a single?) The Police - De Do Do Do De Da Da Da #6 Psuedo Echo - A Beat For You #12 Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is #12

This song was a very minor hit in Perth, No.46 for a week, which was not sufficient enough to get it into the Top 100. But at least you know when it charted.

Someone told me that although The Eagles have a lot of very well known "classic" songs, not many of them charted that well here in Australia - is this the case?. Thanks
Thanks for the Orbison info. A couple of songs I've never heard of -- "Evergreen"? I guess 1 week at #100 makes it one of the least successful chart "hits" ever...still, now I'll have to track it down...
Not to burden you too much, but another US act from the same era is a favourite of mine: The Everly Brothers. (The Phil Everly references in the Cliff Richard post reminded me...) Any insight on their chart placings? And did either of 'em ever chart solo, aside from the Cliff duets? Don also put out some instrumental material as "Adrian Kimberly".
Actually, I notice there are 2 songs that peaked at #100 for 1 wk above -- "Evergreen" (which is new to me too) and "Move It", which at least in the UK, is one of Cliff Richard's best known songs.

They never had a Top 10 Single in Australia, their last single becoming their highest placed. They were mainly an albums band, with Hotel California (77) and The Long Run (79) both going to No.1, whilst their first three albums all spent 30+ weeks in the charts. Their longest charting album was their 1976 Greatest Hits Collection which peaked at No.3, but charted for 72 weeks.

Another group who were bigger on album than the singles charts. Dark Side of the Moon (142 weeks), The Wall (88 weeks) which also hit No.1 as did their 1975 album "Wish You Were Here".

Phil Everly only charted solo on the two Cliff Richard duets which are mentioned in his section. Nothing for Adrian Kimberley.
The Eagles actually charted a bit better than I thought with a couple in the teens and "Hotel California" actually charting at all when I thought it hadn't. Still they were obviously an "album" band with a couple of their other "classics" like "Desperado" & "Tequilla Sunrise" not chating. Thanks for that
"See Emily Play" charted and "Money" didn't! Interesting that of Pink Floyd's five hits, only 2 are from the era that Roger Waters was the chief composer....
Oh, and "Desperado" famously wasn't ever released as a single. And "Tequila Sunrise" from the same album was a comparative flop in the U.S. (stalling at #59) -- not sure if it was issued as a single here. Both songs, of course, have become airplay classics in retrospect.
I always find it interesting how certain songs become "classic" years later but were not that popular at the time they first came out. What were people thinking at the time?????
It makes me wonder what obscure chart hits from these days will eventually become "classics" An interesting thread idea huh????.
Anyway while we're on the "album" band theme I'd be interested to know if the Doobie Brothers, Steve Miller Band or Supertramp fared any better "singles wise"? I know the Steve Miller Band had at least one big hit with Abracadabra (getting to #1 if I remember back that far)
Here's one that shouldn't require too much typing: The Icicle Works. (Everyone outside of Australia always seems to confuse them with Icehouse...) "Whisper To A Scream" must have made top 40, no?
And while I'm thinking of 80's new-wavey stuff, did The Sherbs ever actually see chart action?

I'll do the rest of the requests on Sunday afternoon. Gav
Sherbet never did any good after they changed their name. Their main problem was that their core "teen" audience simply grew up - it happens a lot with these types of bands.
I'd be interested to find out the positions of a few of my personal favs from the 80's. "Like in a Northern Town - Dream Academy" (their only hit I think?), "Glad I'm Not a Kennedy - Shona Lang", "Arizona Sky - China Crisis" & I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight - Cutting Crew". thanks muchly

one of my favourite bands of the 80's was China Crisis. "Black Man Ray" was about Ray Charles, and "Working With Fire & Steel" was really only a hit in Australia, and doesn't appear on any of the 'Best of' collections.
I know that this chart position was not pre-1989 but I was wondering if "Down So Long" by Jewel charted in Australia. The Kent Australian Chart Book 1993-2005 states that it peaked at number 81 and was in the charts for 13 weeks. What does the ARIA Charts say about it?
Well, I wasn't sure if The Sherbs charted at all, so I guess two very minor hits is even slightly better than I expected.
Don't know if everyone here is familiar with the ARSA chart compilation site at www.las-solanas.com/arsa, but they have quite a few Oz radio station charts from the 1960s (and a lot of US and Canadian radio station charts). Fascinating browsing for those of us into such things. They're also looking for some assistance on tracking down catalogue numbers for some charting Australian records -- check out the "Chart Chat" page on the site for details on how to help. http://www.las-solanas.com/arsa/twocents.php
Breadalbane; I tried to contact that people at ASRA on their Chart Chat page, but couldn't. So can you please pass on my email address and let them know that I have catalogue numbers for all of the charting hits in Australia.
Well whiskey doesn't appear to be charting at the moment, and rarely has it done so in the past 'drunk soberman'. So I doubt whether you'll get much response from anybody.
The only Whiskey (correct spelling) that I know that charted was Nancy Whiskey in 1963.

Thank you nugs! I thought Samantha charted a lot higher with "I Wanna Have Some Fun", I thought that was a big hit for her? And I didn't realize that Stacey Q had four songs that charted, I only knew of "Two of hearts" and "we connect". Very interesting!
Could someone provide chart placings for TISM albums and singles from pre-1994 if they are availalbe? I believe they had a couple of low-top 40 singles in the late 80s but there may be more. Thanks. Joe.
"i'm on the hunt, i'm after you" was indeed taken out of the song. 'Hungry Like The Wolf' by Duran Duran!
Dark in the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a fire Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do Woman you want me, give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch with the ground Im on the hunt Im after you Smell like I sound, Im lost in a crowd And Im hungry like the wolf Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme Im on the hunt Im after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And Im hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide Ill be upon you by the moonlight side Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do High blood drumming ony our skin its so tight You feel my heart, Im just a moment behind Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch with the ground Im on the hunt Im after you Scent and a sound, Im lost and Im found And Im hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme I howl and I whine Im after you Mouth is alive all running inside And Im hungry like the wolf
-
(hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf)
Burning the ground I break from the crowd Im on the hunt Im after you I smell like I sound, Im lost and Im found And Im hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme Im on the hunt Im after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And Im hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd Im on the hunt Im after you Scent and a sound, Im lost and Im found And Im hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme I howl and I whine Im after you Mouth is alive all running inside And Im hungry like the wolf...

Ginny, Samantha Fox's "I Wanna Have Some Fun" was a #8 hit in the US, but flopped both here and in the UK (#63). I only knew of those 2 Stacey Q songs too until recently.
Bulion, I've passed on your name to the folks at ARSA. Hopefully, you can help them out -- it's a really cool project they've undertaken (a searchable index of individual weekly radio station charts).
Digging through my eighties vinyl, and came across Julian Cope/Teardrop Explodes and Elvis Costello. How'd they do on the charts pre-1989?
And the Canadian chart link you posted got me wondering ... did The Guess Who have much chart success in Australia? Certainly their first Canadian hit "Shakin All Over" was thoroughly trounced by Normie Rowe's version...
I have to say this website is cool but why the hell does a plain page saying "gesperrt" or something like that in the top left hand corner sometimes come up?
Hi, Im trying to track down the name of a song and the artist, from the charted in the top 10 in november 1988. Part of the lyrics in the chorus are as follows.........someone i know, someone i know..........you came for a day and stayed for a week.... Thats all I know, would greatly appreciate someones help
OMG we built this city by starship was a number 1. many "music lists" sites label it the worst song of all time. i personally don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Does anyone know why people HATE the song SO MUCH?
I actually LOVE "We Built This City" LOL, I was a big Starship fan. I liked "Sara" as well! Their resurgence in popularity in the late 80's was pretty cool, considering they had started out as a psychadelic rock group in the 60's as "Jefferson Airplane" with hits like "Somebody To Love", became a contemporary rock group in the 70's as "Jefferson Starship" with hits like "Miracles" and "For Your Love"... and then regrouped again as "Starship" in the 80's, the only original member who stayed from the beginning was vocalist Grace Slick.
How have all of their incarnations done on the chart?
Here's a quote I found about We Built This City topping a worst-song-of-all-time ranking from 'Blender':
Starship's 1985 anthem, the runaway No. 1 stinker, "seems to inspire the most virulent feelings of outrage," editor Craig Marks says. "It purports to be anti-commercial but reeks of '80s corporate-rock commercialism. It's a real reflection of what practically killed rock music in the '80s."
Also sealing the song's fate were Starship's steep fall from grace as the admired Jefferson Airplane and "the sheer dumbness of the lyrics," Marks says.

Most of their smaller hits were BIG hits in Adelaide, as 95% of their singles charted their.
Jefferson Airplane: 20-May-67*HP-93*WI-01 - My Best Friend 20-May-67*HP-87*WI-05 - Somebody to Love no "White Rabbit", that didn't chart in Australia. Jefferson Starship: 18-Feb-80*HP-72*WI-07 - Jane Starship: 18-Nov-85*HP-01*WI-26 - We Built This City (4 weeks at No.1) 17-Feb-86*HP-10*WI-17 - Sara 20-Apr-87*HP-03*WI-25 - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now 10-Aug-87*HP-92*WI-03 - It Ain't Over ('til it's Over)
How about Run DMC, Public Enemy, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill Gang, and the Beastie Boys (pre-1989).... We're they popular during their 1980's heydays?
Interesting. A few more songs that spent exactly 1 week at 100: "These Eyes" by The Guess Who, "The Blues" by Paul Simon and Randy Newman, and "Believe In Humanity" by Corle King. They join "Evergreen" by Roy Orbison and both "Move It" and "Miss You Nights" by Cliff Richard from previous posts as the least successful chart hits of all time. I'm sure there are more of these #100 songs out there that will be revealed as time goes on...
Thanks for the Costello/Cope/Guess Who info. I'm stunned that "Reward" didn't chart, and pleasantly surprised that "Shakin' All Over" did. Personally, I prefer the Guess Who's version to all other recorded versions I've heard -- yes, including The Who's.
Looking at Jefferson Airplane, I suspect the blatant drug subtext of "White Rabbit" kept it off the charts. Another 'classic in retrospect'...you'd never know today that it wasn't a hit at the time!
BB. I did a chart listing for Elvis which is posted on the Australian Elvis website at the below address. There is also one for his albums and an article that I wrote (all in the home drop-box)
Roydges: Public Enemy didn't have their first chart hits in Australia until 1990, but all of those were below the Top 50, so here is the ARIA P.E. info:
04-Mar-90*HP-81*WI-07 - Welcome to the Terrordome 27-May-90*HP-64*WI-10 - 911 is a Joke 16-Sep-90*HP-95*WI-01 - Brother's Gonna Work it 09-Dec-90*HP-69*WI-09 - Public Enemy No.1 16-Dec-90*HP-59*WI-09 - Can't Do Nuttin' for Ya Man 27-Oct-91*HP-55*WI-06 - Can't Truss it then came "Give it Up" in 1994 which hit the Top 50.

Thanks for all the info Bulion. You truly do know your charts here in Australia pretty well given your music industry experience! Now how about Kiss, and the Ramones? Has the latter charted big here in Oz?

Wow, "Tempted" by Squeeze topped out at 95? That's a pretty shitty position for one of their best known songs?? No "Coffee In Bed"?
And I agree with "Margaritaville", to me that is his signature song, moreso than "Come Monday". How do these so-called classics get airplay if they charted so horribly where in most cases, would probably not have been played on the radio since the height of its so-called popularity.

It's hard to say exactly why songs become retroactive classics. Some songs may have been a little ahead of their time...not popular when released, but in time people caught up with them. Others may have been slightly controversial at the time, but eventually became accepted. (I'm wondering if some conservative 1970s radio programmers wouldn't play Margaritaville because it could have promoted blackout drinking?)
I also think some songs become retroactive classics if they were hits in the US. A US programming consultant comes in, and adds a hit song to the play list even though it wasn't a hit here, simply because it gets plenty of airplay back home...
you can now find the Daryl info in the search function at the top of this page. ARIA Charts now go back to the start, which is June 1988, and "As the Days Go By" is now in that category.
Hi Bulion, I have a question. Collette's Upside Down wasn't given any chart stats on this site. But on Wiki, it states that the single reached #91. Which is true? If so, what is the chart debut date for the single? Regards.

I'd like chart info on Sebastian Hardie / Windchase / Mario Millo please. Including soundtracks by Millo: Against the Wind (w/ Jon English, and its single Six Ribbons), World Safari II, A Fortunate Life, The Lighthorsemen and Brides of Christ.
could anyone be able to give me australian album chart postions for the following artists : the beatles, the beach boys, the rolling stones, the who, bob dylan, the byrds, pink floyd and led zeppelin.
Nilsson's "You're Breaking My Heart" actually charted? Wow! Great song, but they must have edited out the very very prominent obscenity for AM play. Which would rather undermine the whole point of the record...
Also nice to see that "Favourite Waste Of Time", an ace Marshall Crenshaw tune, charted.
Sebastian Hardie: 21-July-75*HP-55*WI-08 - Rosanna 15-Mar-76*HP-95*WI-02 - Life, Love & Music
Windchase: 08-Aug-77*HP-100*WI-1 - Glad to Be Alive
Mario Millo: 25-Dec-78*HP-05*WI-20 - Six Ribbons (w/ Jon English)
Albums requests: 22-Jan-79*HP-10*WI-18 - Against the Wind Soundtrack 08-Oct-79*HP-91*WI-06 - Epic III - Mario Millo none of the other Soundtracks requested charted.
Now I'm looking into Jon English, singles and albums both solo and in duets with Trevor White, Marcia Hines (already above), Mario Millo (already above), and Renée Geyer.
Hey, how about Joe Camilleri? He's the guy behind Jo Jo Zep, The Black Sorrows, The Revelators, and Bakelite Radio. He's also released a handful of solo singles under his own name, and as Joey Vincent. Any chance of getting his pre-89 chart info?

Hey Bulion what was it about black music in the 60's? I'm astounded that song like 'Baby I Need Your Loving', 'Reach Out, I'll Be There', 'Baby Love' & 'Stop! In the Name of Love' didn't chart aswell as they should've. These and many more are classified as classics in many critics corner
Yup, 19 March 1966 must have been some week, as there were 90 more popular records than "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". Wonder how many of those 90 still hold up?
Even worse, in February 1973 there were 94 records that bested "Superstition" 94! That's just sad. 1973, hang your head in shame...
Black Music in the 1960's was not played on Australia very much at all. Especially in Melbourne and Sydney, then and now the two biggest markets. Brisbane was a big R&B charting sitting, that's where The Supremes and Marvin Gaye had most of their hits. Perth was the other big black music location during that time, and Stevie Wonder had mostly all of his National Chart hits perform well in Perth. Another factor was that the style of music that radio was playing was faaaarrrrr away from the American R&B Style of that time, and it wasn't until some major inroads were made in the mid-60's that that style of music was taken more seriously on the charts. So some of the biggest hits that we know today thanks to retro/Gold stations were hits overseas, but not here for the original artists. I say not here for the originals, as local Australian acts would get the records in via sailors or ship merchants, and then learn them and record them, then have hits here with them, and the overseas versions weren't even looked at. "In the Midnight Hour" by Wilson Pickett is a prime example of this. Done here by 1964-66 teen heart-throbs Ray Brown & The Whispers, this was his fourth Top 10 hit here, and a very Aussie version too, and Wilson's version did not chart. Yet you'll hear Wilson's version on the radio here, but not our local version which was a hit. Johnny O'Keefe did this too, and even Pat Boone did it in the late 50's when he did pop-covers of Little Richard and other rock-and-rollers songs, done for nice-white-mainstream-kids. So they might be classics now, but they weren't necessarily so at the time here in Australia.
When did Australia have 'disco charts'? Is it much the same as the club chart today? Or were they around for the 'disco era' (like Billboard) and then they phased them out or renamed the chart after the disco era faded? I would very much be interested in seeing those charts... are they available anywhere?
A lot of my favorite artists were disco groups (more obscure ones) that charted well in the US on the disco/club play chart but maybe didn't even chart at all on the Hot 100. I wonder if the same goes for Australia? Did Gino Soccio or Giorgio Moroder have any luck on the aussie charts?

Thanks Bulion, I too was saddened by Isaac Hayes' passing. Most people remember "Theme from Shaft", but my favourite track was "Don't Let Go" which had more of a soul/disco groove to it.
Another interest is Paul Kelly. His many guises include ...& The Dots, ...& The Coloured Girls, ...& The Messengers, with Uncle Bill, with Professor Ratbaggy, ...& The Stormwater Boys (latter few are within the ARIA search I've just done). Could you please provide singles and albums positions on Paul Kelly and his cohorts pre-ARIA?

Yeah it seems LRB mainly had a lot of mid-sized hits here (apart from "Help is on it's Way"). They were a bit like Air Supply who also did a lot better in the U.S than here. I guess their sound was very similar to a lot of the popular U.S acts at the time like "The Eagles".

Thanks for that Bulion! That was much appreciated! Some questions about ABBA though, why did "Ring Ring' chart three separate times and what happened to my favourite song, "The Visitors"!?!?
Actually, it's apparent The Visitors didnt chart here but it's still my favourite song
For some reason I thought Poetry Man by Phoebe Snow was a much bigger hit than peaking at no 60.
The first version of Ring Ring was shown on the charts as "Bjorn, & Benny, Anna & Frida", which was their single before Waterloo overseas too.
Then it was issued under the ABBA name in late 1974, making a small dent in the charts. By this time it had been released as their third single, and they weren't as big by this stage.
When it charted again, RCA Victor Australia were trying to get as much of their stuff on the charts as possible, because they had had three back-to-back No.1's (not achieved since then BTW), so they re-issued Ring Ring for a third time, and this time it went to No.7.
Also you probably know this, but "Rock Me" was also a B-Side of "I Do, I Do, I Do...", but got so much airplay, that they released that one too.
And yeah, I like The Visitors too, but it did not chart here.

What a shame... that their greedy record label was trying to land a fourth consecutive no. 1 with re-releasing "Ring Ring" (while managing a not-too-shabby peak of no. 7), but ended up stuffing up their hot streak, because the next single "Fernando" went to no. 1 instead...
I was also kinda shocked that "When All Is Said And Done" only peaked at 81 and stayed in the top 100 for three weeks. That's a bit of a lame showing for one of their best songs.
How did Bobby Goldsboro fare? Did he have any late 70's success with "Melody Of Love"?

I'm interested in the positions of a couple of 60's artists - The Who, Gene Pitney & Tom Jones. And if it's not to much to ask the James Reyne hits of his first solo album. Thanks muchly
Thanks for the Hollies info, Bulion. Intersting that thelr one #1 hit, Too Young To Be Married, was a single only in Australia and NZ. To the rest of the world, this hit song is nothing but an obscure album track...

Could someone please post the chart positions for Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Stylistics, The Floaters, Bobby Caldwell and Johnnie Taylor? Not sure if the latter artists charted with their one or two hits, but I'm interested to see if they did.

Bulion: I have a huge favour to ask.... I have the David Kent chart books (1940-1969 & 1970-1992). I need to know if Johnny Horton's - All For The Love Of A little Girl ever charted here???? If it didn't could you find out if it was ever released as a single & any chart positions world-wide please.
BB, the above link is to all of Johnny Horton's Billboard chart achievements, but there is no listing for that single on any of their charts.
The only thing I could find was a section in the latest Billboard Chart Singles book (2006 ed), a mention of it under his for "Classic Non-Hot 100 Songs", and dated 1959. .
There is no release for it in Australia that I could find, his first single appearing in Australia in March 1958 (Lover's Rock).

Thanks Bulion, thanks for your information I'm gonna get some of these books. Don't know if I should tell but anyway I'm using the chart data for our music side musicmini.com where we have about 30.000 clips of songs. Maybe you would take a look at that side: But anyway could you give me the charts for Dave Clark Five & Manfred Mann. Thanks again
From what i have heard BeeGees released an album in 1997 titled "still waters" and on that album was "alone" a worldwide hit. any ideas where that charted in Australia?
You can look up in the "Search" function at the top of this website for any post-1988 titles, which "Alone" is in there. You can search by act, song title or both, just tick the correct box for singles or albums.

How about the positions for Blondie, B-52's, Men Without Hats, A-Ha, Wall of Voodoo, MC5 and the Clash?
Please keep it up with thinking more artists that may not otherwise be mentioned in this page (pre-1989, of course!), as I'm keen to know how well they all did on the Australian charts!!! Last edited:

David & Jonathan:
26-Feb-66*HP-42*WI-08 - Michelle 10-Sep-66*HP-42*WI-10 - Lovers of the World Unite 24-Jun-67*HP-92*WI-02 - Scarlet's Ribbons (for Her Hair) 12-Aug-67*HP-93*WI-03 - She's Leaving Home 01-Jun-68*HP-19*WI-13 - Softly Whispering I Love You
Hi Bulion, thanks a lot. It's interesting to see that David and Jonathan had a handful of hits in Australia. You don't find such a wonderful song like 'Softly whispering I love you' in its original version in any chart in the world (later there was a hit version by the Congregation). These profilic songwriters who wrote big hits for Gene Pitney, the Hollies, Cliff Richard, the Fortunes (Blue Mink of course) etc. should have deserved to fare better. I specially liked 'Ten Storeys high' that went nowhere.
1. Did 'Fame' chart at all back in 1975? It would be unusual to have missed the AUS charts given Bowie's commercial stock at the time and that it was a US number 1.
2. Am I right in assuming the above dates are the actual release dates (rather than the hit position dates) and that all the pre-89 stats are from the Kent Report?
3. I would love to know how (or if) this Bowie-related material charted in Australia:
* Mott the Hoople: All The Young Dudes (single) * Peter Noone: Oh You Pretty Things (single) * Lulu: The Man Who Sold The World (single) * Lou Reed: Walk on the Wildside (single) * Iggy Pop: Real Wild Child (single) * Tin Machine: "Prisoner of Love" (single) * Tin Machine: "Under The God" (single)
* Mott the Hoople: All The Young Dudes (album) * 1986 Way to Go (compilation album) * Tin Machine (album)
Thanks for the 10cc info, as always! Funny, I don't remember "From Rochdale To Ocho Rios" which peaked at #65, but I remember the #94 hit "Don't Turn Me Away" very well!
The David Bowie request puts me in mind of some other 70s's art-rockers -- how about Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, and The Cars? Thanks!
1."Fame" did not chart in Australia the first time around in 1975. 2. The dates are chart entry dates, and are from the AMR. 3. Below are the Bowiesque requests:
Mott the Hoople: 23-Oct-72*HP-60*WI-15 - All The Young Dudes (single)
Peter Noone: 04-Oct-71*HP-100*WI-01 - Oh You Pretty Things (single)
Lulu: 20-May-74*HP-81*WI-09 - The Man Who Sold The World (single)
Lou Reed: 23-Apr-73*HP-100*WI-01 - Walk on the Wildside (single) * this track was a big airplay single, thus below you'll see how well "Transformer" did, but it only charted in Perth, and very low there. So such a classic does not rate high on the Oz Charts sadly.
Iggy Pop: 16-Mar-87*HP-11*WI-20 - Real Wild Child (single)
Tin Machine: *"Prisoner of Love" (single) * "Under The God" (single) * neither of these singles made either the ARIA or AMR charts
Mott the Hoople: 19-Feb-73*HP-61*WI-07 - All The Young Dudes (album) 22-Oct-73*HP-57*WI-03 - Mott (album)

Stevie didn't have a hit with "Edge of Seventeen"?? How is that possible? I always hear "Sweet Love" by Anita Baker on the radio, I find it odd that she only charted at 97 and fell off after 2 weeks!

'Dancing In the Dark' is listed as being the #1 single for 1984 in David Kent's chart book, yet it only peaked at #5. Were his end of year charts based on chart-run/longevity rather than sales Even though it spent around 30 weeks on the chart in 1984, surely something else must have charted nearly as long that peaked higher?
I know it's possible for a single to chart higher on the end of year chart than its singles chart peak (case in point - Guns 'n' Roses' "November Rain" peaking at #5 but being the #2 single for 1992).
David's End of Year charts were based on the sales and points it had accumulated during the calendar period. Because of it's slow climb up the charts, and then long run within the Top 10, it did accumulate a LOT of points. I have previously calculated the Top 100 singles of 1984 using the points system (1 = 100 points, 2 = 99 points, etc), and Dancing in the Dark stills manages to be the No.1 single of 1984.

btw "nc" stands for non-chart, which means that the song was also performed by that act, but did not make the charts with the other versions at the time.

Weekly charts were not around until January 1949, so from 1940 to the end of 1948 I have used the date 01-Aug-43, meaning that it debuted in August 1943, to keep everything in line. Also MI means 'Months In' chart

Hey, I'm in an early 80s new-wave frame of mind -- how about Joe Jackson, Graham Parker (doubt it, but "Hold Back The Night" may have just barely charted), the Go-Gos, Simple Minds and the Psychedelic Furs? Thanks!
In regards to the classic songs that didn't chart high initially...
I'm a Yank, and I can give some insight into the situation over here. Many classic rock songs didn't chart well, or at all, because of the different radio formats. The "pop" charts and radio, driven by singles releases, were and are quite distinct from the "rock" charts and stations. "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, "Break On Through" by the Doors are two big classics that still get play on classic rock stations because they were big hits on rock stations in their original runs, but neither charted on the pop charts, ("Stairway to Heaven" was never released as a single, and therefore was ineligible to chart). In 1981, Billboard debuted a chart devoted to the top songs on rock radio, but many rock classics from before that time are not reflected by their peak positions on the pop charts.
There also are a few cases of revisionism, as well. Of particular not are old Metallica songs, such as "Fade to Black" and "Master of Puppets," which were not played on rock radio in their initial runs, except for those stations which featured specialty metal shows. However, many of these stations began adding them to their classic rotation lists in the wake of Metallica's breakout success with its self-titled "Black" album in 1991.

hi there, l'm hoping someone here may be able to help me find the name of a song l liked 20+ years ago. I've been searching on and off for the last 2 years (since l got internet) all to no avail.
This song was released sometime between 1986-1988, l've got a feeling that it is more 1987 though. It was a one-hit wonder and quickly burst onto the charts and then out again. I remember seeing it on Countdown and it definitely did make the Top 10 either at number 7 or 9, l'm thinking it was 9. I vaguely recall that it was out around the time songs from Dirty Dancing made the charts.
In the video clip, the singer was a black dude, kinda looked like an older Lionel Ritchie with a beard l think, he was wearing a white suit. I think his name had Leonard in it, whether it's his first name or surname l dunno, but l could be totally off base here name wise. There were girls dancing in the clip and l'm sure there were colourful geometrical shapes and numbers floating about also between an alternating black and white background.
It was dancy-funky track, not fast though and l vaguely remember that some of the lyrics referred to dancing, to numbers like steps (1,2, 3, 4 etc) and l'm sure something like that "she's dangerous" or something to do with danger were in the chorus.
Has anyone got any ideas of what this song is? or other resources where l may be able to find it? I really want to tick this off my "bucket list"!

Alex, your Huey Lewis &... has been answered on the albums page.
Ginny, I won't be doing Frank Sinatra, as that's over 100 songs, maybe when I have more time, but not for now. Al Martino and Johnny Mathis will also be done, but not for now as they are too big to type up.

hey i just found out about this site from a few frinds of mine and it looks cool. i was looking at this forum and i would like to know about the chart positions for tight fit, big country, wet wet wet, flying lizards and rose tattoo. i'm really keen to find out about their peak positions
And while I'm thinking about it, did those legendary fake Australians, The Strangeloves, ever actually chart in their ... ahem ... home country? (They also issued records as The Beach Nuts and as Rome and Paris)
Hi there. Am looking for the 200 best selling singles of every year, from 1980 til 1989. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Even top 100 or 50 would be a great start. Thanks!

wow this website is awesome! oh thank you thank you so much for the info! though i never would have thought that rose tattoo didn't do well in australia. they are always playing them on the radio
Thanks. Don't know how I missed the missed the Supertramp earlier.
Looks like The Strangeloves just barely made it on to the charts. I wonder what the reaction was at the time to their ludicrously fake back-story? Did it help them or hurt them?
(For those who don't know, The Strangeloves were three New York-based writer/producers. With the British Invasion on in full swing, and "foreign" acts dominating American airwaves, the three producers decided to re-invent themselves as exotic Australian beat group "The Strangeloves". Press releases indicated The Strangeloves were three Australian brothers who made a fortune as sheep farmers, then turned to music. To disguise themselves, the producers wore shaggy wigs, and spoke in fairly ludiricous "Australian" accents ... and apparently were able to pull off the ruse in America, where they had a number of top 40 hits! One of the Strangeloves, Richard Gottehrer, went on to co-found Sire Records, and produce acts like Blondie and Marshall Crenshaw, as well as actual Australians Mental As Anything.)
Discovered this a few weeks ago. Outstanding site. Was wondering if there was a site that allowed you to type in a date and then be shown the Top 40 (or Top any number) as at that date?

In case people weren't aware, in January every year, "Rage" on the ABC devotes its Saturday night (11.30pm-6am) programming to 70s and 80s tunes, with a focus on random "Countdown" episodes from that time. I know it's a bit late for 2009 but there will be one more shot at watching/taping some of that this coming Saturday.

Thanks Bulion! If it's no trouble, could you tell me if Shalamar ever charted in Australia? Did Patti Austin/James Ingram ever chart here? And what were Whitney Houston's chart positions before 1989?
But there are no labels and cat. no. infos, that's why I'm missing some 1989's charts too!!
She's so full of sh*t - she didn't even have one!
