30 Years of Number Ones in Aus, UK and US for the week ending 12 October

I thought it might be fun to make a number one hit list for the past thirty years for each week. If people show interest it will become a regular feature. If you want me to go back further just tel me how far but I can only go back as far as charts were made! Or give me a date and I'll let you know the songs for Australia, UK and the US.

It's funny to see where there are cross overs but it seems the Aussies have more in common with musical taste with the Brits rather than the Americans. It's also good to see a few people made it into the charts more than once. I can't imagine how many times that will happen when the weeks start to spread out.

Some of them are hilarious, some are just plain cringeworthy and especially for the younger readers, some of them you will never have even heard of...and in some cases that's probably a good thing!

Very cool Rihanna video you've probably never seen.

Is she beautiful? Undoubtedbly. Does this photo make her look both innocent and sexy? Absolutely. Can I share a little secret with you? The more observant of you may have noticed already.
