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 😏😆😻😎
Yeah I used surprise people by being able to recognize songs by the first two notes. You had to develop that skill to have any hope of catching songs on the radio to record lol
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!
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 😂
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.
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! 🙂
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
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.
Jak zwykle świetne zestawienie. Jeżeli można coś podpowiedzieć to kanadyjski chart numery 1 z lat 90tych. Mieli naprawdę świetną listę, lepsza od amerykańskiej
This brought back some amazing memories of great music, and you've scored yourself another subscriber. Thank you so much for posting this and brightening my day.
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
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).
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!🇦🇺✌😉
Ahh. You're right.😉 Original Sin and the Oils - Species Deceases. But Barnsey only had 1 - Too Much Ain't Enough Love. ( I don't think the other Cold Chisel's would like to be classified as solo Barnsey.) But I saw Swanee and the Party Boys and I saw Mossy - Tuckers Daughter.
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.
Surprised by the lack of INXS (only 1), expected something from Listen like thieves, and nothing from Back in Black by AC/DC…also expected Angry Anderson’s wedding song
Technically it was but Midnight Oil`s Species Deceases was the first to debut at No 2 but that was an EP , to me really Kylie`s Got to be certain was the first actual song to debut at No 1 .
I still love how "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic did better than "Beat It" lol
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.

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

agree. I think we tend to be a little biased towards liking the British tunes more, but its close.
I don't know if you know this, but we actually also have our own music !!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!! wow wow
What a great trip down memory lane. 1980 and 1981 still in high school. Cheers from Australia
I was impressed with the Australian talent. They seem to have their own identity and ability.
Such a rollercoaster of emotions watching this, the soundtrack of my life.
Yay for B-52's number one! last december of the 80's.
My fav Oils song is US Forces. Geeze we had some fantastic bands!
My 20's in a video. Awesome.
70's great, 80's good, 90's ok, 00's well you know where this is heading...
Not just the music, the country too... 😞

With few exceptions, almost identical to the American and UK charts. Good stuff.
The no. 87 song is called Hercules from the album Species Deceases.
Grew up in the 80's, the best of times. Having said that,months might be correct,but some of the years aren't
Kwintesencja lat 80-tych 😍

this is like the US & UK charts combined with some local additions
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
Uwielbiam wszelkie tego typu zestawienia. Dzięki!
Boom Boom! Let's go back to my room! Adding that to my playlist.
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?!
ha ha ha ha ha ha
I shouldn't laugh.. I asked my mum to buy me the Jive Bunny tape for Christmas back then.
Świetna robota!! Czekam na więcej :D
Lady in love,beautiful❤
Eat It 😛
Missing “Australiana” by Austen Tayshus - was no.1 for 8 weeks in 1983
Indeed - that's because it was the only non-musical single and it didn't fit well the movie.
@ Then it's not really a "All Number One Singles" list is it? shouldn't matter if it's non-musical or not, a number 1 is a number 1..........
@@lukecassell6071 It's also missing "It's Just Cricket" by The 12th Men.
@@NickSamon Yes I was waiting for that too!
Yep, I'm disappointed by these omissions as well.
Janet Jackson was one of the biggest global stars of the late 1980s, I’m surprised that none of her songs made this list.
She only reached #1 once in Australia - "That's The Way Love Goes" in 1993. Surprising, I know.
Pseudo Echo did an excellent remake of Funky Town, a thousand times better than the original. It stayed at number one for 7 weeks, that proved it.
Nothing but good times
Thanks Mate!!
Sam Fox seemed to go to number one in most countries except her own where it was number 3.
Fajny przeglądzik. Proponuję zrobić wideo porównujące pierwsze miejsca list przebojów z różnych krajów, np. USA vs. UK vs. Polska.
I never knew that Roxette - The Look, wss no 1 in Australia. However, I know that Roxette will be touring down under in March 2025.
No one among Michael Jackson hits reached no. 1 in Australia?
Not in the 80s. Madonna has more #1 songs in all major music markets combined than any artist in history
He had two #1 singles in the 80s - "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" in 1980 and "Billie Jean" in 1983.
Omjc, I really hate Come on Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners.
You're not alone , and La Bamba, both no. 1 in Sth Africa and Dancing in the street, hate that too.
95% of those songs were very big hits in the Netherlands too
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).
The 80s were just better 👍🏻🇦🇺
Roxette ROX!!!
I can't believe that none of the songs from the Joshua Tree were number 1
Only one single cracked the top 10, but the album did really really well
"Need you tonight" ans "Beds are burning" weren't at No.1 in their own country? Surprising!
Need You Tonight got held out from Number 1 by Icehouse’s “Electric Blue”
12:22
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!🇦🇺✌😉
There was Midnight Oil and Inxs. Then you had like 3 Jimmy Barnes songs which is pretty much Cold Chisel.
Ahh. You're right.😉 Original Sin and the Oils - Species Deceases. But Barnsey only had 1 - Too Much Ain't Enough Love. ( I don't think the other Cold Chisel's would like to be classified as solo Barnsey.) But I saw Swanee and the Party Boys and I saw Mossy - Tuckers Daughter.

They sell albums, concert tickets and merchandise, not singles.
@@aaronleverton4221 That is simply NOT true. They have released many many singles. 57 last I checked. Many of those were not part of an album at all.
@@gideonharris1493 Now read what I wrote again.
A lot of these are better than Canada's no. 1 songs
Madonna the best
Surprised "Thriller" by Michael Jackson didn't go to No 1.
Why no Australiana?
Surprised by the lack of INXS (only 1), expected something from Listen like thieves, and nothing from Back in Black by AC/DC…also expected Angry Anderson’s wedding song
Back In Black only had two singles released in Australia. One cracked the top 10 the other sank without a trace. Album though did massive business
@@glenchapman3899 thanks for that Glen. Still a surprise though.
6:18 yesssssssssss
80’s Madonna was the best wasn’t she?
90s Madonna, she was so versatile that decade
So Pseudo Echo took Funky Town to No. 1 longer than Lipps Inc. did.
and may they rot in Hell for it.
Legitimately shocked no songs by Crowded House made the list.
Closest they got was a No 2 - Dont dream its over. Had two No 1 albums though
A few of them WTF were we thinking
Blame it on the hairspray
Australiana curiously missing,
Yeah was the biggest selling single in 1983.
I'm under the impression that "Got To Be Certain" was the first song to go in at the number one spot on this chart.
Am I right Australia?
Technically it was but Midnight Oil`s Species Deceases was the first to debut at No 2 but that was an EP , to me really Kylie`s Got to be certain was the first actual song to debut at No 1 .
Species Deceases debut at nO 1 , NOT nO 2 .
68%
Wasn't the 12th Man's "It's Just Not Cricket" a #1 tune in Australia?
Yes.
Indeed it was. But this compilation only includes music singles. Such convention 😉
Next time - Japonia lata 80te ? To by było coś..
1984 eat it??? what?
Definitely not accurate, some songs were listed in 82 but we're out in 80
some of this is incorrect song and when they were at No1 and time they were there
Which ones specifically? In compiling this material, we relied on the official charts available on the internet.
Tytuł sugeruje, że to single Australijskich zespołów i wokalistów
No the title says all the #1 songs on the Australian charts in the 80"s
The eighties - Mic Drop.......................................
I like when it puts a kangaroo (🦘) for indicate an Australian singer or group 👍👍👍
