Gen X Five-Shot: Top Tracks from Australia, July 1985

July 1985 was a golden month on Australian radio, an irresistible mix of home-grown pop, British attitude, and the biggest names on the planet.

This Five-Shot rewinds to that moment in time when the Australian charts were pure color and motion, five tracks, five stories, all heart.
