ARIA Awards Are All Pop With No Crackle

Thirty years ago, on 3 June 1996, John Farnham released Romeo's Heart, an album that arrived at a pivotal point in his career. The record became Farnham's first studio album in three years following Then Again... and continued a remarkable commercial run that had transformed him from a veteran performer into one of Australia's most successful recording artists. Romeo's Heart reached No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart, achieved four-times platinum certification and produced one of the biggest hit singles of Farnham's post-Whispering Jack era.
