Before we move too far from the beginning, here’s a Top Ten episode, featuring the Top Ten Australian artist hits of 1959. All chart positions are taken from David Kent’s Australian Chart Chronicles, compiled on a national basis. Interestingly, only four Australian artists (+ one in a shared chart entry) are to appear in the Top Ten, with two of those having multiple entries. One of those two is Col Joye & The Joy Boys. With Col very unwell at the time of publication, it is a good time to acknowledge the incredible contribution of Col Joye to the Australian Music scene. We wish Col all the very best
