One small question is this chart info a combination of the ARIA charts (which if I remember started about July 1988) and AMR report or just the AMR report?.

It looks like Kent/AMR Chart.

You will notice ALL FIRED UP (Pat Benatar) has a HP of 3.... On ARIA it was 2
MJ's Smooth Criminal - HP 31 - ARIA was #29....etc

AMR/Kent Music Report not ARIA

I think the above posts are all AMR.
For these couple of posts, it is AMR to late June 1988, then ARIA for the rest of the year (as shown in the archives on this website).

1988 No.1's added, EOY tidied up and legend put into every thread.

bulion: did ARIA do full Top 100 EOY charts for 1988 & 1989?

1988 yes, 1989 I don't have, but check the 89 thread for Tony's email address to get 1989.

I still have many original ARIA paper charts (and others) from 1984 - 2000. I've studied the Top 40 charts for Australia for over 20 years now. Still to this date, no song has been able to beat Fernando by ABBA, with the most weeks at No.1.

Very interesting to see Electric Blue sell in excess of 50k as ARIA didn't note this on it's re-entry on 5/9/11, truly deserved. Also, thanks bulion, it's interesting to see many non-#1 songs be accredited and a lot of #1s not!

You kind of get the impression 'Never Gonna Give You Up' probably pulled more sales than Gold

Thanks for posting the ARIA acreditations from this period!
