Molly Meldrum makes a rare TV hosting appearance over Easter for MAX, fronting The 1000 Greatest Songs Of All Time.
According to MAX, the countdown will be compiled using viewer votes, feedback from industry experts, chart ratings and song popularity.
Voting is now open until April 12 at max1000.foxtel.com.au, with prize pack on offer valued at over $6000*. All voted songs must have a licensed broadcast music video available.
Fraser Stark, Foxtel’s Arts & Music Channel Manager said, “MAX is all about great music – the channel represents the ‘soundtrack to your life’ so it made sense to ask our viewers to help us pull together this countdown. Let’s face it – there have been some incredible songs over the years and we all have our favourites.
“Over his enduring career, the iconic Molly Meldrum has made an extraordinary impact on Australian popular music culture. Without his influence being asserted who knows how differently we would have come to hear the music of the times? Obviously he was the perfect host and expert in helping bring this countdown together over the Easter long weekend.”
The 1000 Greatest Songs Of All Time airs on MAX from 12pm Friday April 14 to the evening of Monday April 17.

Company Of Strangers.
Jason Donovan.
Done.
“Must have a licensed music video available”. That could be tricky for a lot of the top songs.
All time? Really only the living memory of people who like pop music. Bet we won’t see Auld Lang Syne, Amazing Grace, Happy Birthday etc.
I submitted five and one was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Do u reckon they will play it?
That’s at least two votes for Bohemian Rhapsody then!
Correct!
Is it wrong that my top 5 were all Kylie songs?
The fact that you asked this question suggests to me that you already know the answer!
It’s awesome Molly aka “the man in the hat” is still on TV after all these years. Hopefully a full list will be available afterwards. That same long weekend ABC’s rage is celebrating it’s 30th birthday.
