#Former Pick Hit

NOTE: The dates that appeared on the original chart as printed in GO Magazine 
were Nov. 21-29, 1968, representing a Thursday through the following Friday 
week. However, this chart debuted on the air on Wednesday, Nov. 20, so the 
date that appears above reflects when the chart actually took effect. This 
was the last published top-57 chart; the following week, the station’s 
printed survey included only a top 25, supplemented by five up-and-coming 
hits.
