     NOTE: The printed list is shown above. However, the internal sheet
     doesn't list #18, 26, 32, 33, 40, 47, 48. It appears that WABC at
     first intended to shorten the on-air playlist this week in favor of
     playing more oldies and then reconsidered. None of these songs are given 
     a WOS (weeks on survey) credit for this week on future printed lists.
