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 / DECEMBER 1975 ♪  
 
KISN/Portland, Oregon, is the perfect radio station to celebrate Christmas with its chilly morns, frosty panes, surrounded by evergreens. December 1, 1975, Portland was Rockin' and the wild-'n'-crazy DJ Wolfman Jack heated up listeners' Saturday nights. But December is also known for Rock Radio stations' top tunes year-end lists. After you've checked out KISN's Top 30 of the Northwest, keep scrolling to find WABC/New York's 1975 Top 100 and WIND/Chicago's Top 56. Marvelous memories ...  ♪ Rock On while you peruse the top tunes ... 50 Years Ago this Month ... Enjoy the Moment Again!

Wolfman Jack is arguably, the undisputed "king of the DJ airwaves" for his industry creativity and innovations, alone. He was the first to make a business out of show syndication and about this time, he mastered the art. He was everywhere. We'll see more of him next month!

(But bear with me--this stupid Blogger program won't let me add text next to pics below, nor can I put two images on the same line. Sigh. If only I could win the lottery ...)
