This is a list of best-selling singles in Australia that have been certified by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). From 1983, ARIA certifies a single platinum for shipment of 70,000 copies across Australia.[1] All singles in this list must have won at least quadruple ARIA Platinum Awards (280,000 copies). Prior to 1989, the values of the certifications were different, and a dearth of published data has made it difficult to source earlier release numbers. (Note: Pre-ARIA, Slim Dusty had the first Gold single and only Gold 78 rpm single in 1957 with A Pub with No Beer, selling 80,000+ copies. This record was definitively broken in 1980 by Joe Dolce with Shaddap You Face. By 1982, according to the Sun newspaper and Astor Records, sales of Dolce's song had reached 450,000 copies in Australia, achieving nine times Platinum by the old count of 50,000 copies.)
