When was the last time a TV theme was charting in ARIA?

In fact when was the last time a News theme charted…. if at all?

But the former ABC News Theme as remixed by Perth band Pendulum is currently sitting at #38 in the ARIA singles charts.

The classic theme, composed by Tony Ansell and Peter Wall, was used by the broadcaster until 2005.

Wall recently told The Age, “I’m happy for someone to have rediscovered it because it’s probably the best thing we ever wrote.”

Maybe the ABC could make use of Pendulum’s remix for ABC News 24?

There are a bunch of other News Theme remixes on YouTube. Here is TEN News theme (which was actually composed by Kamahl’s son).

Seven News 2002 remix.

  1. “On the Inside” Theme from original series of Prisoner.
    Theme from “The Rockford Files”.
    Possibly the theme from “Hill Street Blues”.
    Back in the day when they wrote a good theme!
