"SITTIN' ON 80" NOW SITTIN' AT #20 ON ARIA POP CHART!!

With the previously unreleased track "Give Me Room" picking up plenty of radio airplay around Australia, Slim Dusty's new "Sittin' on 80" truck album has debuted at #20 on the new ARIA National Album Chart (the music industry's Mainstream Pop Chart).

Slim Dusty was no stranger to both pop and country charts during his hugely successful 60 year career. However, it is kind of refreshing and even heart warming to see, in this transient technological age, that his iconic Aussie's name sits proudly up there in a Top 20 Pop chart filled with the likes of new millennium acts...like Pink, Lady GaGa, Hilltop Hoods & Miley Cyrus.

Slim passed away 5 years agp. but his legend status still holds stong! With this latest "Sittin' on 80" chart success Slim proves he is not only one of the most successful artists of this decade...but also the ONLY Aussie solo artist to achieve 6 Top 20 albums so far this century (2000-2009)....even ahead of other Aussie icons like Kylie, John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes.

As we near the completion of this first decae of a new century it can be said that the country music legend of the last century proves yet again...he is still King!
