SPECIAL NOTES:  The following excerpted WABC in-house memo is 
dated 28 December 1977:  "Since some national trade publications 
did not print music popularity charts due to the Christmas 
holidays, only local criteria was [sic] used to consider new 
additions to the WABC music playlist this week."

Unless otherwise noted, songs without a number assigned to them 
(excluding LPs) are in an in-house category labeled "New Library."
