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.
  * Artist names and song titles listed as printed on original survey.

Featured Survey / JANUARY 1976 ♪  
 
1976 continues the over-the-top, sometimes hard-to-read graphics of the decade with WBBF/Rochester, New York's, "Better Music" entertaining chart. Oh yes, it sports the current January 7, 1976 Rockin' Top 30, but w/o revising the headings on left / right of survey, they list their version of 1975's Top 100. Ok. That almost works. Let's Rock On through another New Year of Marvelous Memories ...  ♪ 50 Years Ago this Month ... Enjoy the Moment Again! 

*Top Ten songs are posted here just as they appear on surveys, misspellings and all (tho I don't use all caps) ...

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!
