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.

Artist of the Day - Paul Weller
British rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
Born: 25 May 1958 in Sheerwater (Near Woking), Surrey, England, UK.
English singer, songwriter, and previous leader of two bands: The Jam and The Style Council. In England, he is recognised as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national rather than an international star.
He was a central figure in the Mod revival. As the leader of The Jam he fronted the most popular British band of the punk era, influencing legions of English rockers that ranged from his mod-revival contemporaries to Smiths in the 1980s and Oasis (2) in the 1990s.
During the final days of The Jam he developed a fascination with and soul music, which led him to form the sophisti-pop group The Style Council in 1983. As The Style Council's career progressed, Weller's interest in soul moved towards an infatuation with jazz-pop and house music, which led to the gradual erosion of his audience and the eventual split of The Style Council in 1990.
Weller launched his solo career in 1992 and by the mid 1990s, he had released three successful albums which were both critically acclaimed and massively popular in England.
Then contemporary bands like Ocean Colour Scene were citing him as an influence. Just as importantly, many observers, while occasionally criticizing the trad-rock nature of his music, acknowledged that Weller was one of the few rock veterans that had managed to stay vital within the second decade of his career.
Son of John Weller (2). He married Dee C. Lee in 1987; divorced in 1998.
Father of Leah Weller and Natt Weller (with Dee C. Lee). He became involved with Samantha Stocks until 2008.
He married Hannah Andrews in September 2010.
