Radio station 2SM – at the beginning of their ratings dominance of the Sydney pop music radio audience – celebrated a momentous decade in music with this poster, available gratis in local record stores in 1970.
Of the Top 100 songs listed, 20 were by Australian artists, evidence of the growing confidence and success of the local industry.
No artist though – Australian or international – came close to matching The Beatles’ 16 entries, including four in the top 10.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
