Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Countdown aired on Australian TV from 1974-1987 and essentially created MTV before MTV existed, broadcasting music videos when most countries had nothing similar.
Andy Gibb's appearance here captures him at peak fame before his tragic decline; the archive footage preserves a moment before the tabloid narrative took over.
