Austrailia has 100 good songs in 2002. I am not sure if any country has 100 good songs in a year.

I think they only run one stream, for dialup users. I could, of course, be wrong.

Re: Counting down Australia's hottest 100 songs of 2002
The Eastern states, Victoria, New South Wales, & Queensland are 10 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.
(GMT is offically called UTC or Universal Time Co-ordination these days.)
South Australia and the Northern Territory are nine and a half hours ahead of GMT, and Western Australia is eight hours ahead of GMT.
Things get a bit awkward when we have daylight saving time, because the Northern Territory and Queensland don't do it. They are worried that the extra hour of daylight will fade the curtains.
Back to Radio JJJ, I can remember their first broadcast in the mid 1970s: they played a long countdown as if they were launching a rocket and at zero hour they played "You Only Love Me 'Cos I'm Good In Bed" by Skyhooks. It was an AM station back then and had the call-sign 2JJ.
My name 'Goodvibes' is a nickname I was given at work because Cap'n Goodvibes, The Pig Of Steel, used to broadcast on 2JJ and my surname - Goodyear - is somewhat similar.
Cap'n Goodvibes was also a cartoon character in a surfer magazine called 'Tracks.'
I've got to stop now, the nostalgia is killing me.
