COUNTDOWN IS BACK THIS JANUARY, 2019 ... ON rage !!!!!
Stay tuned below with regular Countdown full archival information for each Countdown episode rage shall be airing every Saturday throughout January ...
Hi Adam, I picked up a double CD compilation in the early 90's - Electrifying 80's by J&B and it has 'I Know There's Something Going On' & 'The Other Woman' 
, but yeah, you're pretty right about the others.
The Lana Pellay track was on 1986... Just For Kicks 
. But alas, that's probably only available on cassette & LP.
It was only really a hit in Australia (#17, compared with reaching just #96 in the UK). Quite odd really, considering Ostraya was in its bogan pub 'classic' rock Barnsey worshipping era.
The Carol Hitchcock track is on Hit City 1987, which was released on CD. Neither of these compilations are retro though, they were from the actual time.
, but yeah, you're pretty right about the others.My mistake, that should be 'The 80's Connection'.
This link is great too, you can watch '87 Hits Out' video compilation.

Not the official video, but all the vids have been compiled together. I see there are also ones for '1982 With A Bullet' & 'H'its Huge '84'. However these 2 are only half complete with videos that have been deleted.

Wow, thanks for that link Michael. I remember buying '88 Kix On on cassette in my local K-Mart
About 12 months later, I was perusing the cassettes in K-Mart when '88 Kix On was playing over the in-store speakers. A probably 20-something Asian couple walked in with their toddler in a pusher while Sabrina's 'Boys (Summertime Love)' was playing, and they liked the song and asked the person behind the music section counter what album it was from. I think they said '88 Kix On', which of course by that point probably couldn't be purchased off the shelves. I almost felt like going up to them and telling them which artist/song it was

I was living in New Zealand when that ad would have aired ('Careless Whisper', 'The War Song' & 'She Bop' were just released when I arrived there), so missed it altogether.
. You should have told them about the Sabrina video too! - the exposed nipple. 
Here's some more that have been on YouTube for a while, but still worth mentioning.

My sister had this on cassette. $9.99?
From memory, I paid $16.99 for the first compilation albums (on cassette) I bought, in 1987 (those being "'87 Hots Up" and "Smash Hits '87"). According to the RBA's inflation calculator, $9.99 in 1982 equates to $14.44 in 1987, and $30.90 in 2011 (the latest year available on the calculator).
