January is
Certified Number Ones
COAST FM 963 kicks off the new year with a special month-long celebration of the biggest Australian chart hits of all time. “Certified Number Ones” dives into more than 40 years of Top 40 history from The Book of Top 40 Research by Jim Barnes and Steven Scanes, focusing on genuine Australian Number One songs spanning the 1960s through to the 1990s.
Across January, we'll showcase the soundtrack to generations — from the birth of modern pop in the '60s, the superstar explosion of the '70s, the anthemic energy of the '80s, and the unforgettable pop culture of the '90s. Expect to hear Number One classics that our audience grew up with and still treasure today.
It's the perfect way to start the year: familiar voices, unbeatable memories, and the certified greatest songs Australia has ever put at the top. Tune in all January as we celebrate the Number Ones that shaped a nation, only on Coast FM 963.
