WABC announced on the air that their survey would be available by mail. Those surveys ("the printed list"), typewritten on WABC press release stationery, looked just like the surveys previously distributed to the stores, listing the Top 14 by number, then listing the balance of the survey underneath, without numbers. "The Top Ten Albums" feature has been discontinued. NOTE: #'s 15, 17, 20, 23, 25, 28, 29, 30 aren't on the printed list and were only aired on the Sunday countdown show.
