Countdown 50 years on

Can you believe it's been 50 years since Countdown first hit our screens?
I vividly remember watching the show as a kid, and being completely captivated by the music and the hosts. Molly Meldrum, in particular, was a larger-than-life character who made the show so much fun to watch.

Over the years, Countdown has featured some of the biggest names in music, both local and international. From AC/DC and Midnight Oil to Madonna and Michael Jackson, they've all graced the stage at one point or another.

The show has also been a launch pad for many young Australian artists, including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, and Natalie Imbruglia.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to meet Molly Meldrum and tell him how much I enjoyed the show.

Of course I was starstruck, but he was so kind and gracious.

We talked about the early days of Countdown, and how much the show had changed over the years.
He told me that he was still really passionate about music, and that he loved seeing new Australian artists come through.


Molly Meldrum is a true legend of Australian television, and I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to meet him.


Countdown was more than just a music show. It was a cultural phenomenon that helped to shape the Australian music scene. It was a place where people could discover new music, and it was a place where they could celebrate their love of music.


The show is still fondly remembered by many Australians, and it's a testament to its enduring popularity that it's still being celebrated 50 years on.


If you're a fan of Countdown, then you'll definitely want to check out the 50th anniversary special.
It's going to be a night of nostalgia, music, and celebration.
So don't miss out!
