Featured Surveys

Welcome! Let's reminisce and enjoy a few minutes cruisin' down Memory Lane to the tunes of our youth. You're on Blast from Your Past's Featured Radio Surveys page! Enjoy the moment ... again.

Every month--50 Years Ago--a cool vintage radio survey, or music chart (depending on how you know them), Top 40, Top 30, Top whatever, is featured here to coincide with BFYP's "50 Years Ago this Month" nostalgic blog. All surveys are from the Blast from Your Past Collection unless noted as radio surveys from other great sites.

Ah well, they did provide the lyrics for "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." ...   50 Years Ago this Month ... Enjoy the Moment Again

I'm guessing that the guy and kid in the photo are attendees of their Gumball Rally ... which one is "Striker" and which is "Friend" remains a mystery! Rock On ...
