    Question #47822. Asked by Andyhfx.

    There is a chronological list of every No. 1 Billboard hit, from 1955 onwards, at the bottom of this page:
    http://www.geocities.com/records4sale

    The first 5 hits I could find by by aussies are:

    Aug 1971 - Bee Gees - "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart"
    Oct 1974 - Olivia Newton-John - "I Honestly Love You"
    Mar 1975 - Olivia Newton - "Have You Never Been Mellow?"
    Aug 1975 - Bee Gees - " Jive Talkin' "
    Sept 1976 - Bee Gees - "You Should Be Dancincg"

    As the Bee Gees and Olivia were born in the UK, the answer may be Air Supply, who had their first No. 1 hit a year before Men At Work:

    Jul 1981 - Air Supply - "The One That You Love"
    Oct 1982 - Men At Work - "Who Can It Be Now?"
