1970

Australia's 1970 chart captures the final chapter of 1960s rock alongside softer pop-rock. The Beatles' swan song 'Let It Be' topped the year, while Simon & Garfunkel and Creedence Clearwater Revival each placed two entries. The Mixtures' local cover of 'In the Summertime' competed with Mungo Jerry's original — a uniquely Australian phenomenon where local covers often rivaled international originals.
