SPECIAL NOTE:  This week, WABC began its second annual "77 Summer 
of Gold."  This year, that meant that through the remainder of 
summer and into fall (ending with the debut of the 4 October 1966 
survey), every third song would be gold.  This differed from last 
year, when every other song was gold.
