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.

December of 1966 saw some great Australian Music released, including big hits for Normie Rowe and Ronnie Burns. We’ll hear chart entries from The Loved Ones, The Twilights, The Cherokees and several more. The Loved Ones have two entries; one for their self-titled EP and another for Sad Dark Eyes. Bev Harrell debuts with “What Am I Doing Here with You”, which turned out to be her highest-charting 45. We’ll hear again from Perth singer, Maggie Hammond with “Go Laddie”. And, a minor hit for Reg Lindsay that I have described as a piece of country whimsy (??). Enjoy the great Australian Music that was released in December 1966.
