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.

Featured Survey / MARCH 1976   
 
KERN claimed to have "Bakersfield's [California] ONLY hit music survey," in their March 20, 1976 survey. Hmmmm, one of these days I'll have to verify that! But for now, just enjoy the fun. DJ Russ Gerber rustled up some hit music, and DJ Mark Thomas invited listeners to think junk food, in a crazy crossword puzzle. Yum!  ...   50 Years Ago this Month ... Enjoy the Moment Again
