[edit]

There is a proposal to amend this page to an upgraded tabular format (with illustrations) to put it in line with similar pages such as *List of number-one singles in Australia during the 1970s & *List of number-one albums in Australia during the 1980s

Discussion about this amendment can be found here User_talk:Rusty201#List_of_number-one_singles_in_Australia_during_the_1980sThe amended page as it will look is below.

The new table keeps the original editorial commentary below and includes the differences between the ARIA Charts and the Australian Music Report in the late 1980s. Please pass on any comments here about this proposal.

THE FOLLOWING IS A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE PAGE List_of_number-one_singles_in_Australia_during_the_1980s , which brings it into line with the layout of similar listings from the *1960s, *1970s and *1980s albums in Australia. Australian Music Report data from June 1988 onwards has also been added. All original editorial content has been left intact, except for the phrase "highest selling single of the year". This has been changed to "best charting single of the year". A case in point: Up There Cazaly was the highest selling single of the year in Australia in 1979, with sales of almost 250,000 copies, despite only being listed as Number 13 in the year end chart for 1979. Racey's 'Lay Your Love on Me' was listed by the Kent Music Report as the number one charting single of the year in Australia, however it only surpassed sales of 100,000 copies in Australia.

1980s Australian charts

[edit]

Two sets of charts ran in Australia in the late 1980s. The Kent Music Report began publication in 1974 as Australia's official national charts. From mid-1983, the Australian Recording Industry Association (or ARIA) licensed the Kent Music Report (which was renamed the 'Australian Music Report' in 1987). ARIA commenced compiling its own charts in-house from the week ending June 26, 1988 (a Sunday). These charts ran concurrent to what was by then known as the Australian Music Report. The Australian Music Report charts ceased to be published commercially in 1999.

ARIA Charts are listed below from their commencement in June 1988, in non-tabular format.

The Kent Music Report / Australian Music Report chart data (1980 - 1989) is given here in tabular format and taken from the "Australian Chart Book 1970-92", published by David Kent.


Variances in dates between the two charts are as follows:
The dates given for the Kent Music Report / Australian Music Report are Mondays.
The dates given for ARIA Charts are Saturdays.
