NOTE: The dates that appeared on the original chart as printed in GO Magazine 
were Oct. 10-16, 1968, representing a Thursday through Wednesday week. 
However, this chart debuted on the air on Wednesday, Oct. 9, so the date that 
appears above reflects when the chart actually took effect. Beginning with 
this week, the original surveys included the previous week’s chart positions 
for the top 25 only; they continue to be included here for the entire 57.
