David Cyril Kent (born 3 February 1941)[1] is an Australian music historian and pop culture writer. Kent produced the Kent Music Report, compiling the national music chart from May 1974 to 1996; it was known as the Australian Music Report from 1987.[2] The music reports were a weekly listing of the National Top 100 chart positions of singles and albums.[2][3]
Kent's music reports were used by Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) as its official ARIA Charts from mid-1983 until July 1988 when ARIA developed an in-house chart.[2][4]
Kent continued to publish his Australian Music Report on a weekly basis until 1996.[2] In 1993, Kent collated his charts into a book, Australian Chart Book, 1970–1992.[5] He followed with Australian Chart Book (1940–1969) in 2005,[6] Australian Chart Book (1993–2005) in 2006,[7] and The Australian top 20 book (1940–2006) in 2007.[8]
