This video illustrates the evolution of popular music in Australia ranging from 1950 all the way to 2019. While many of these songs that appear in this video were popular across the world, some of them were exclusively popular in the land down under. The list I used for this video was created by Dave's Music Database, a blog dedicated to ranking and arranging music. For this particular song list, the songs were selected by the Australian (ARIA) charts’ actual year-end lists. For years prior to 1988, each song that was selected was the song that spent the most amount of time atop the ARIA. Songs that were in this video did not necessarily have to be from an Australian act. Rather, this video features the most popular songs in Australia, regardless of the nationality of the act. There is somewhat of a gray area with regard to what is considered a song. For instance, it is relatively common to see two songs by the same act top the charts simultaneously, kind of line an A side B side combo. Some may not consider the 1983 entry Australiana by Austen Tayshus a valid entry since it is a spoken-word comedy single. However, since it topped the ARIA for eight weeks in 1983, the single was included on this list. I hope you enjoy the video!
