Building on the work of many others, this series of podcasts charts the development of Australian Music. The Chart series commences at 1957 with the introduction of Top 40 charts.

Episode 2 covers the first six months of 1959, with diversity of styles being the over-arching theme. We'll hear a first chart entry for an Australian radio legend, a first chart entry for the \"Golden Boy\", a hymn recorded in St John's Church, Camberwell in Melbourne and a song that appears to be a tourism promo for Queensland, and, of course, more Johnny O'Keefe and The Dee Jays.
