I am assuming Power Muswellbrook uses the same log as Power FM Nowra? I have noticed they’ve gone a bit more general AC with plenty of 90s and even 80s hits in the mix.

That’s correct, and Wave FM uses the same log as well. With that in mind, in the context of the Wollongong market, it’s good that they’ve gone a bit more general AC to provide a bit more point of difference to the dominant i98.

Hello there. So after a few attempts I’m finally complete a manual music log for 91fm Saigon, my favorite radio station. As I have said before somewhere, 91fm music is always picked manually, and it’s not pre-scheduled. As a consequence, automatic playlist display is not available, but I’m finally compiling the “playlist” on my own. See and tell me what you think when you look at this playlist - for me I feel like this is when Mix and KIIS strangely come together…

There are no commercials, news bulletins or any clutter: the next song would be played straight after the previous song. There are only three voice break/sweeper throughout this block: one to welcome, one to close the block, and the middle which is purely used for identification: “You’re listening to the music on 90FM and 91FM of the Voice of Vietnam”

Very much a safe as houses “good times and greatest hits” log, won’t be long before Melbourne and Sydney adopts this format, both are getting that way!

I suppose this is a sly dig at 96fm, which used the slogan ‘Keeping Real Music Alive’ for quite a while.

This reminds me of the Music That Rocks format that Triple M tried back in 2008 with some dance and rap.
Back then it was MGMT and the Potbellies, in 2022 it is Peking Duck, Swedish House Mafia, and Eminem.
This is quite different to the east coast M’s. and looks to being skewing younger then the rest of the network.
Maybe they are trying to target Nova and 96fm?

Take out the glam metal stuff (Def, Aerosmith) and Midnight Oil and that’s more or less my playlist anyway! Good log imo.

That’s a great playlist for Triple M Perth. Would love to hear something similar for Triple M Sydney.

One of my favourite years of music, 1983. Made My Day / Tim Finn is a great feel good song, really takes me back. The Agnetha (ex-ABBA) song was great too, I remember I had the single. Not quite as good as Frida’s I Know There’s Something Going On, but I liked it.
5 Likes
I actually like Agnetha’s “can’t shake loose”, and her follow up single “Wrap your arms around me” so much better then Frida’s “Something goin on”, which was rather cold and harsh. Didn’t hate the song, it was just one of Frida’s weaker tracks in my opinion.
It was fun tonight pulling out this list. Some of the other tracks that sat outside the 25 was Men without Hats “Safety dance” which was a real party goer in those days, Taco’s “Puttin on the ritz”, Spandau Ballet’s “True”, Paul Young’s “Wherever I lay my hat”, and Irene Cara’s “What a feeling”.
At the time it seemed to have been around for eternity, that track was the longest running chart single in my charts that year By this week, “What a feeling” had it’s twenty first week in, and would still hang around for another two weeks, I believe it was also the biggest selling single on the actual ARIA australian charts from that year.
The next two weeks after this chartt, they’d be some absolute crackers for that year, including Australian Crawl’s “Reckless” (a timeless classic), and the penultimate love ballet; Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack “Tonight I celebrate my love”

I recall at the time “Reckless” by Australian Crawl was huge, especially on Countdown. The video was great.
I’m not surprised Flashdance (What A Feeling) was on the charts so long. It was a massive hit. Even the older generation at the time (eg my parents) loved that song. I still can’t get enough of it today. Also loved her lesser hits Why Me and The Dream -both also from '83 too I think. Maniac was also a standout song on the Flashdance soundtrack.
Yeah I liked Agnetha’s Wrap Your Arms Around Me too. But have to disagree on Frida’s song - one of my favourites still. I love it.
Safety Dance is just an iconic song from that year. Huge airplay here and a big hit in the US, but strangely not such a massive hit in their native Canada I believe.
