Beginning with the dawning of the Top 40 era in 1957, these podcasts will trace the development of Australian Music through three initial series; Charts, Singers and Groups. Whilst the first batch of podcasts will move forward from 1957, later work will have a reverse focus, exploring the rich and diverse world of Australian Music pre-Top 40 era.

November of 1966 was a great month for Australian Music with the release of two 45s both of which would go on and reach #1: Normie Rowe’s epic Ooh La La, and The Easybeats’ anthem, Friday on My Mind are the two songs in question, both recorded in the UK. We’ll also hear the 2nd 45 release from an artist then known as JA-AR who, as John Rowles, would go on to international stardom. Amongst others, we’ll also hear chart entries from The Kravats, Russ Kruger, and Peter Nelson & The Castaways. Enjoy the Australian artist releases for November of ‘66!
