ARIA became the official Australian music chart in June 1988, succeeding the Kent Music Report which had been Australia's national charts since 1974.
His follow-up single "Follow Your Drum" reached #16 on the Australian Singles Chart in May 1972.
The Kent Music Report was a weekly record chart of Australian music singles and albums which was compiled by music enthusiast David Kent from May 1974 through to 1998.

In 1988 the arrangement with ARIA ended and the ARIA Charts were produced in-house by the Association.

After 1988, the Australian Recording Industry Association, who had been using the report under license for a number of years, chose to produce their own charts as the 'ARIA Charts'.
