March 1969
So here we are, back for another installment of 'Australian Number One Songs' and it seems The Beatles were dominating the charts for most of March (and April) in 1969 with their single remaining at Number 1 for 6 weeks - the single was Ob-la-di Ob-la-da
Life goes o-on, la lalala life goes on...
Remembering those lyrics, I thought 'how appropriate' they are for this entire series 'cause if there is one thing I have learnt over the years, it would be this... LIFE most certainly does go on...!
As per usual, it's seems incredible to think that these songs were released fifty years ago and I wonder how many of us still listen to any one of them on a regular basis, how many of us have owned these songs, either on vinyl, tape or disc.
It's also interesting to think about how many of those treasured (and scratch-able) vinyl copies have managed to survive through to this day. I mean, you literally had to handle those things with kid gloves and one scratch was enough to ruin the whole record..!
Do you still own any vinyl from 'back in the day'? I still have all of mine, titles such as Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, The Pretenders (one of my favs), AC/DC (a box set of all their early stuff too, mind you..!), Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Blondie, Madness, The Radiators... to name just a few that I can remember off the top of my head.
They may be just dust collectors now, but I don't think I will ever be able to throw them away - they hold way too many memories, besides, I'm thinking I could turn them into a sculpture LOL ;)
Below, I've listed below the Number One Songs that were topping the Australian Charts in 1969 and for convenience, I've provided a link for you to easily have a quick listen to the song and (if you're as old as me) wonder where all those years went.
