Australian bubbling under charts

[Nugs]

In January this year, I started writing weekly blog posts on singles peaking outside the Australian top 100 - https://www.bubblingdownunder.com/

Yes, and yes.

The first singles chart that extended beyond #100 was from late January 1989; though, before then, the Australian Music Report (Kent Music Report) - who produced Australia's official chart between 1974 and early June 1988 - had published a list of 'singles receiving significant sales reports beyond #100' on most of their weekly charts, since August 1982. Some examples of this I have embedded below:
