Early 1988 usually seems popular, and in this chart are at least three
people who died last year. I think there were almost as many people who
had already died by 1988 though. One person who died in the intervening
years is soon to release an expensive vinyl box set that includes a
picture disc of his song in this chart.
Also the Top 75 debut of a popular Australian act, plus the, er,
second Top 40 week of another Australian act.
Playlists here. You'll only hear the Number 5 on Spotify if it's already
on your computer though.
