NOTE: Beginning with this week, WMCA’s in-house printed surveys are the 
source for the posted charts for most weeks. For the few weeks when these are 
not available, positions below #25 were estimated based on the previous and 
following weeks’ charts. This week’s in-house survey was dated March 12-18; 
however the chart debuted on the air on Wednesday, March 11, so the date that 
appears above reflects when it actually took effect.
