AD BREAK??? Must be something wrong with the stream or something. Annoyingly they play a XXXX ad multiple times in place of localised ads
Long 6 minute wrap into 2025 although they did suggest 2 minutes to go was at 11:55. Personally I think it’s a bit of a waste of time going for that long when it could have been done in about 3 minutes, even if it means playing something like Final Countdown rather than a mashup.
HAPPY NEW YEAR NT (even if it’s 4 minutes early)
First song of 2025: Michael Jackson - Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough

That’s a bit different to what I was expecting!
At least you didn’t play U2’s “New Years Day” as the first song of 2025 like almost every other station seemed to do
Wow. I never knew Doug Mulray had a recording career! Bit different to Disco Duck.
A bit like ‘Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos’, I think the material after midnight will be a one shot affair.
Doug also had a hit with ‘You Are Soul’ in the 80s. Do the math on that one.
“You Are Soul” is a classic!
Yes @dxnerd I’ve never even heard of some of those Norty Nine songs, I’ll have to go and check them out.
Over to the UK now for a look at last and first songs for 2025 on the CHR and Rhythmic CHR stations.
BBC Radio 1
Last song of 2024, Count On Me - Chase & Status
First Song of 2025 Right Here Right Now - Fatboy Slim. Also featured at the start of the London midnight fireworks.
Capital fm UK
Last song of 2024, Do It To It - Acraze
First song of 2025, Disconnect - Becky Hill and Chase & Status.
Capital Dance UK,
Last song of 2024, Baddadan- Chase & Status, was the first song of 2024 last year.
First song of 2025, Push the Tempo - Sub Focus & Katy B.
Interestingly UK DJ’s producers, Chase & Staus featured as either the last or first song on all of the UK CHR stations this NYE. They are also the feature act in Sydney today at the Domain.
I’ll be honest and say I’ve never heard of them.
That’s another one for me to check out!
Great track. Perfect summer sound. Heard on Fresh 92.7 this morning.
Their genre is Drum n Bass / Jungle, they are massive in the UK.
Got a run on the metros as well!
Oh no, I got rickrolled LOL! 
Love this! Wonder how many listeners there were rickrolled during the first few minutes of 2024? What a way to troll their listeners ringing in the New Year!
Never thought that a community radio station would go into NSFW mode to ring in 2025!
