SPECIAL NOTE:  Chuck Berry's "My Ding-a-Ling" reaches the end of 
its run on crosstown rival WWDJ, finishing at #30 (after spending 
five weeks at #1).  The record was never played by WABC after an 
initial two-day airing.  The record was reportedly banned after 
the wife of an executive at WABC (or corporate parent, ABC) 
demanded that it be taken off the air.
