I was the same!
I used to have copies of those Top 40 Charts from various stations, mostly 2NX (from growing up in Newcastle). They used to print the lyrics to one song on the reverse side too. NEW FM had them also, theirs was printed on glossy paper, but were smaller.
Others I managed to pick up at their local record stores during holiday travels included 3XY, EON FM, 3GL and Radio 10.
How I wish I still had them now!! 
That first green one is my favorite design, they seemed to get uglier after that.
I remember new weekly updated versions usually appeared in record shops on Thursdays. I would often rush in after Thursday school to pick one up, wondering what colour this weeks chart would be! (as well as who would be #1).
That was the best ARIA logo too. The later ones looked too commercialised too with that Coca Cola logo everywhere.
There’s no place for commercialism in pop music!
It’s called selling out. 
To help pay for printing costs I imagine, it was probably costing ARIA a fair amount of money to get them printed.
Sad to think that record stores barely exist anymore, let alone proper Top 40 charts, chart shows and their printed lists.
Hello 13CABS, send me the DeLorean and take me back to 1985 NOW!
Delta Goodrem used tonight’s episode of The Voice to announce she would go on tour next year, her fifth overall and her first to New Zealand. Her four-week tour begins in Brisbane on April 8, 2021, and finishes in Melbourne on May 2. There will be three NZ concerts on April 22-24. She said that $1 from each concert ticket sold would be donated to her foundation which funds cancer research. More info on her website.
Even though I am a big Delta fan I think it’s risky to announce new tour dates during the middle of COVID-19 pandemic. Who knows what will happen by April 2021? Will overseas fans be allowed to travel to Australia and NZ by then?
Agree totally.
In scoring some free Vinyl LPs recently, It gave me the opportunity to compare the Christopher Cross self titled LP against the CD (which sounds dull & lifeless). The LP shines by comparison. Audio quality is way better for the LP vs the CD
Get in there son! 
No offence to Delta but her fanbase, especially in 2020, is primarily in Australia and New Zealand so it’s not as though there will be a large number of fans from outside those countries clamouring to get in.
She and her management will be betting on a trans-Tasman bubble that allows her and her staff/touring musicians to travel freely to either side of the Tasman without quarantining.
Cover songs that are better than the original… what’s your list?
A few for me:
Venus - Bananarama (originally by Shocking Blue)
Locomotion - Kylie Minogue - the Australian version, not the SAW version (originally by Little Eva)
Funky Town - Pseudo Echo (originally by Lipps Inc)
Red Red Wine - UB40 (originally by Neil Diamond)
It’s My Life - No Doubt (originally by Talk Talk). It’s rare that I find a 00s song to be better than an 80s song!
I Second that Emotion - Japan - better than the original 60s version
The Horses by Daryl Braithwaite (originally Rickie Lee Jones).
a potentially controversial one - I think Elbow’s version of Golden Slumbers is better then The Beatles original
Haselhoff’s cover of Jump In My Car, need I say more.
Both are very good versions, I’m a sucker for the Talk Talk original myself but No Doubt did the song justice.
No! The original is so much better imho.
I do prefer Landslide by The (Dixie) Chicks to Fleetwood Mac, but I suspect it was because I’d heard that version before I got into FM so am more familiar with it.
I don’t know about better than the original but I love Tracy Chapman’s Stand by Me as much as the Ben E King version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SNiezOBWPs
Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Gladys Knight and the Pips - Midnight Train to Georgia.
