    I've posted the Ozburn spreadsheet there if you want to have a butcher's
    It goes back to 55 but there are only four songs for that year and two each for 56 and 57.
    Most of the list is posted at alt.binaries.mp3.australian but i think a lot of the mid 50's songs are "missing"

    Thanks Bruno, heaps! (I like the hot/warm spreadsheet column colours
    :-)
    Do you happen to know what the columns Rank, HP and WI mean?
    For instance, Col Joye with "Oh Yeah, Uh Huh" is ostensibly #1 for
    1959 but has Rank 5, HP 3, AND WI 14.
    I see Johnny Devlin's first [Australian] appearance is "Doreen" in
    1959, followed by "I Was The One". But these, I imagine so-so
    recordings, were made after his excellent rock'n'roll hits - such as
    "Big Green Car", "I Got A Rocket In My Pocket", "Straight Skirt" and
    his second recording of "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" in '59. http://www.sergent.com.au/music/johnnydevlin.html
