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 folks, I'm looking for original scans of ARIA top 50 singles charts from 1983 to 1986, I've managed to get most of the 1987 and 1988 ones off the internet, and all the charts past June 1988 are available on Australian-charts.com. 1980 to 1982 would also be great, I do believe a top 40 chart was printed in each issue of the TV week at the time, but not sure for how long.
Down below is a list of all the charts that I do have, note the date at the beginning as in YYYYMMDD, and that they are all week endings, as noted on each chart.
I know scanning these and putting them up will take much effort, so would please, please very much appreciate any replies. I ultimately would like to countdown these charts down on my radio station, as I have all the songs in my CD and Flac collection (well pretty close anyway).
Anyway here is my chart library, any help much appreciated to fill in the gaps - thank you.

This blog posts a scan of the top 50 chart every week from 25 years ago (currently on Wednesdays):
http://chartbeat.blogspot.com.au/
Though it doesn't cover the period you're after (unless you want scans from 1989 now that it's up to that year).
Is it the chart run-downs you're after, or only the scans? If you just want to know the charts from those earlier years, I've got an excel document with them in it.
^ highly recommend this blog. Great commentary every week on singles that have entered the charts.

Thanks for the website, but I already have most to all the charts on there, as I started picking them up from 1987 onwards. Got to say I've managed to take some of his 1988 charts to fill in gaps in my 1988 section.
I prefer to have scans of the original charts. Aside from the top 50s, there is also the hit predictions, and the album of the week / Single of the week section.
I've made enquiries today with ARIA, hopefully they might get back to me.
Thanks
