Site Tips & Tricks:

• The site is best viewed in Chrome. There are audio player issues with some of the other browsers.
• Choppy playback can be minimised by using one browser for it and different browsers for all else.
• If an expected song isn't in a yearly list, try the year before/after or use the Search This Site box.
• For better search results, use quotation marks around the search terms, e.g. "Somebody to Love"
• Weekly ARIA reports for 2001-2019 (including Top 100 charts) can be found in the Trove archives.
• To get a new random order for the Shuffled jukebox, reload the page and launch the jukebox again.
• The Play column can be sorted. Songs will group into those with audio, YouTube links and neither.
• To sort multiple columns in a list simultaneously, hold down the Shift key and click a second, third or even a fourth column header.
