The series presented the top 10 songs of the week.[1] Guest singers and groups appeared on the series from time to time.

It should not be confused with Melbourne-produced series Hit Parade (in which hit recordings were lip-synced by a recurring cast in sets and costumes), which was shown in Sydney on TCN-9. There was also another Hit Parade which aired on ABC.

An episode of this series may be held by the National Film and Sound Archive under the title Australia's Hit Parade.[2]
