This week’s program COUNTDOWN show cases artists who appeared on the show Countdown and featured on the ‘Countdown 40^th Anniversary’ or ‘Countdown Rock’ CD. Countdown was a long running popular Australian music television show broadcast by the ABC from 8^th November 1974 until 19^th July 1987.  It was created by Michael Shrimpton, Robbie Weekes and record producer and music journalist journalist Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum.  Molly became the face of Countdown introducing the audience to new Australian and International acts via live appearances or the screening of their music videos.  Features of the programme included Molly’s ‘Humdrum’ music news segment, interviews with local and international artists who would sometimes host or co-host an episode. Over the years Countdown was crucial to the success of many leading Australian performers and overseas artists and was instrumental in creating the phenomenon known as ABBA.
